Enviromental Strength
-
Gold-Plated Connectors: Corrosion-resistant ClickLoc connectors ensure reliable connections in harsh environments.
-
Optional Connector Protectors: Adds extra sealing against moisture, dust, and debris for field installations.
-
High RFI/EMI Immunity: Operates without shielded conduit or metallic housings, even near radio frequency signals.
-
CE Mark Approved: Meets European standards without requiring complex shielding or special enclosures.
-
Wide Temperature Range: Standard 177°C (350°F) rating; ETR options available for extreme heat applications.
-
Secure Cable Retention: Patented CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength to withstand mechanical stress.
System Compatibility & Alternative Models
- System Compatibility: Fully compatible with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and standard 3300 XL Extension Cables. It is completely interchangeable with non-XL 3300-series 5mm and 8mm transducer systems, providing backward compatibility compliant with industry API 670 configuration baselines.
- Alternative Model: 330104-00-09-20-02-00
- Key Differences: The 330103-00-09-20-02-00 is a metric configuration probe utilizing standard M10x1 casing threads and an M17 locknut footprint. Conversely, the alternative 330104-00-09-20-02-00 model is an English standard variant built with 3/8-24 UNF-2A casing threads paired with a 9/16-inch locknut interface.

Installation & Troubleshooting FAQ
Q1: What is the correct initial gap voltage for configuring this 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe system?
A: For a standard Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8mm proximity transducer system calibrated to AISI 4140 steel, the initial calibration voltage is -10.0 VDC. This parameter corresponds directly to the physical midpoint of the sensor's 2.0 mm (80 mils) linear operating range. Connect a digital multimeter across your Proximitor output terminals and slowly thread the M10x1 probe case into the housing until the multimeter registers -10.0 VDC before locking down the jam nut.
Q2: What are the primary mechanical torque requirements for tightening the threads on this 90mm case probe?
A: When securing this metric forward-mount probe body, use a calibrated wrench to tighten the case threads to a recommended torque value of 11.3 N·m (100 in·lb). Never exceed the absolute maximum rated structural limit of 33.9 N·m (300 in·lb), as over-tightening risks permanently binding the housing or deforming the case shell.
Q3: Why am I getting unstable voltage readings or a flattened linearity curve following field deployment?
A: This issue indicates a localized side-effect or cross-talk loop caused by an inadequate counterbore diameter or a close shaft shoulder. The electromagnetic fields emitted from the 8mm tip require adequate metal clearance. Ensure the surrounding counterbore diameter measures at least three times the probe tip diameter (minimum 24mm) to isolate your high-frequency signals and maintain straight-line sensitivity.
