The 330880-28-15-027-00-02 is a Bently Nevada integrated proximity probe housing featuring a built-in 3300 XL Proximitor sensor and advanced glass-reinforced PPS thermoplastic construction. Fully eliminating the need for separate extension cables or remote enclosures, this self-contained unit connects field wiring directly to the monitor to deliver simplified, space-saving vibration tracking in severe Type 4X and IP66 industrial environments.
Features and benefits
-
2.7” probe penetration (CCC=027) – Ideal for machines with limited internal clearance or thin casings.
-
1.5” standoff adapter (BB=15) – Provides offset mounting without requiring custom machining.
-
No conduit fittings (DD=00) – Simplifies installation when using flexible conduit or direct sealing.
-
±0.5” adjustment range – Threaded sleeve allows fine tuning of gap after installation.
-
No sleeve support needed – Total B+C = 4.2” (1.5+2.7), well below the 12” resonance threshold.
-
IP66 & Type 4X housing – Withstands hose-directed water, dust, and corrosive environments.
Specific Application
- Self-Contained Remote Monitoring: Optimized for isolated machinery installations where mounting space is limited and a separate, distant Proximitor housing cannot be accommodated.
- Corrosive Chemical & Wet Environments: Ideal for cooling towers, water washdown zones, and petrochemical processing plants requiring high IP66 dust/water sealing and Type 4X corrosion protection.
- External Access Machinery Gapping: Engineered for deep casing installations on high-speed pumps or gearboxes where technicians need to adjust sensor gaps externally without machine disassembly.
FAQ
Q1: What is the total standoff plus penetration length for this model?
A1: B (1.5”) + C (2.7”) = 4.2 inches (107 mm), which requires no additional sleeve support.
Q2: Can I use this PROXPAC XL without any conduit fittings?
A2: Yes, DD=00 supplies two plugs and washers to seal unused ports, perfect for flexible conduit or sealed wiring.
Q3: What is the recommended gap setting for this 8mm probe system?
A3: The recommended gap is 1.27 mm (50 mils), giving an output of approximately –10 Vdc.
Q4: Does this assembly require an extension cable between probe and Proximitor?
A4: No, the probe connects directly inside the housing to the built-in Proximitor sensor, eliminating extension cables.
Q5: What hazardous area approvals does AA=28 provide?
A5: Multiple approvals include cNRTLus (Class I, Zone 0/2, Div 1/2) and ATEX/IECEx (ia IIC, nA/ec IIC).
