330106-05-30-05-02-05 is a Bently Nevada eddy current application module featuring a reverse-mount case structure, a 30mm overall case length, and a compact 0.5-meter cable. Fully compatible with M10x1 metric mounting threads, this unit works seamlessly with 3300 XL Proximitor sensors to deliver flexible machinery diagnostics, full hazardous location approvals, and stable industrial vibration monitoring.
Applications
Vibration monitoring of fluid-film bearing machines to detect imbalance and mechanical faults.
Position measurement for shafts and components to ensure proper alignment and operation.
Keyphasor (phase reference) signals used in vibration analysis and machinery diagnostics.
Speed and tachometer measurements, including zero-speed detection during startup and shutdown.
Competitive Advantage
Interchangeable System Design: Part of the Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-05-02-05, it supports full interchangeability of probe, cable, and sensor, eliminating individual calibration and simplifying maintenance.
High Measurement Accuracy: Provides precise static (position) and dynamic (vibration) measurements with reliable performance compliant with API 670 standards.
Robust Connectivity: Features gold-plated ClickLoc connectors and secure locking mechanisms, ensuring stable connections without special tools or loosening risks.
Enhanced Durability & Flexibility: TipLoc and CableLoc designs improve mechanical strength, while compatibility with FluidLoc and ETR options supports harsh environments and temperature variations.

Installation & Troubleshooting FAQ
Q1: What is the correct initial gap voltage and mechanical method for setting up this reverse mount probe?
A: Because this is a reverse-mount module, it installs from the rear of a mounting sleeve rather than screwing into a casing from the front. Connect a digital multimeter to your Proximitor sensor output and carefully rotate the probe into its mounting thread position until the meter reads -9 VDC for radial tracking (or -10.0 VDC for full-scale midpoint alignment), which aligns the probe at approximately 1.27 mm (50 mils) from the target surface.
Q2: Why am I unable to order this reverse mount module with stainless steel armor or a factory connector protector?
A: Due to mechanical clearance restrictions, reverse mount probes are structurally unavailable with factory armor braids or pre-installed connector protectors because those options would prevent the cable assembly from sliding cleanly through the internal diameter of standard matching protective probe sleeves. To protect the gold-plated ClickLoc junction from environmental fluids, you must manually apply self-fusing silicone rubber tape around the connector during field installation.
Q3: What happens to system measurement accuracy if I mix this 3300 XL reverse probe with older non-XL components?
A: While each 3300 XL component is physically and electrically interchangeable with legacy non-XL 3300 series 5mm and 8mm components, mixing them changes the circuit properties. Combining components from different series limits your overall loop performance to the looser, baseline specifications of the traditional non-XL 3300 Transducer System, dropping your incremental scale factor (ISF) tolerance profile from ±5% down to a wider margin.
