Features
- Optimized Deep-Bore Adjustability: Incorporates a 1.5-inch unthreaded portion paired with a 2.7-inch overall case length, enabling engineers to quickly position probe depth inside machine walls while reducing threat binding.
- Rugged Mechanical Construction: Built with an advanced polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) molded probe tip alongside an AISI 303/304 stainless steel case housing to resist physical abuse.
- High-Strength Structural Bonds: Employs the patented TipLoc molding method for a more robust tip-to-case seal and a CableLoc structural layout providing 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength.
- Vibration-Proof ClickLoc Joints: Incorporates corrosion-resistant, gold-plated brass ClickLoc coaxial terminals that twist and lock securely using finger torque without field tools.
- Hazardous Environment Certified: Shipped with pre-certified CSA, ATEX, and IECEx safety approvals for secure deployment across Class I, Zone 0 explosive atmospheres.
- Integrated Viton Leak Barrier: Integrates an internal Viton rubber O-ring seal configuration designed to withstand high pressure gradients between the probe tip and casing walls.
System Compatibility & Alternatives
- System Compatibility: The probe is fully compatible with the Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor (e.g., 330180) and 3300 XL Extension Cables. Because its integrated cable length is ultra-short (0.5 meters), it must be paired with a 4.5-meter extension cable to complete a standard 5.0-meter system loop calibration. It is physically and electrically interchangeable with legacy, non-XL 3300 series 5mm and 8mm components compliant with API 670 standards.
- Alternative Model: 330102-15-27-05-02-05
- Difference from Alternative: The 330101 configuration is built without armor, featuring a standard 75Ω triaxial fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) insulated cable that remains thin and highly flexible for routing through tight internal conduits. The alternative 330102 model is built with armor, which encapsulates the raw FEP cable inside a flexible stainless steel protective sleeve and a rugged outer jacket to guard against direct physical impact and cutting hazards.
