Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor 330180-X0-05

Description

Overview

The Bently Nevada 330180-X0-05 is a 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor, the signal conditioner in the 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer system. It drives the non-contacting eddy-current probe through the extension cable and produces an output voltage that is directly proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the shaft. The system therefore measures both static position and dynamic vibration. Typical uses are radial vibration and axial position on fluid-film bearing machines, plus Keyphasor reference and speed measurement.

The Proximitor ordering code is 330180-AX-BX. In this part number, the X in the first option stands for the system length (1, 5 or 9 m), and the following 0 means panel mounting. The final 05 option adds CSA, ATEX and IECEx approvals. The system length must match the installed probe and extension cable.

Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor 330180 Ordering Code and Options

The Proximitor Sensor is coded 330180-AA-BB. The first digit of AA is the total system length and the second is the mounting hardware: 10, 50 and 90 are 1.0 m, 5.0 m and 9.0 m systems with panel mount; 11, 51 and 91 are the same lengths with DIN mount; 12, 52 and 92 are supplied without mounting hardware. BB is the approvals option: 00 for none, 05 for CSA, ATEX and IECEx approvals. A part number ending in X0-05 is therefore a panel-mount unit with hazardous-area approvals.

The system length must be matched. Probe lead length plus extension cable length has to equal the system length of the Proximitor; a 1 m system uses the probe alone with no extension cable. 3300 XL probes, cables and Proximitors are interchangeable without bench calibration, and they also work with non-XL 3300 5 mm and 8 mm components, but a mixed system is only held to the non-XL specification.

Bently Nevada 3300 XL Proximitor Installation and Wiring Notes

Field wiring is recommended as three-conductor shielded triad cable with tinned conductors, landed on SpringLoc terminals that need no special tool. Operating the supply more positive than -23.5 V DC can shorten the linear range. Intrinsically safe installations use zener barriers or galvanic isolators, and for ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 the terminals must be given at least IP54 protection. Probe tips should be kept at least 38 mm apart for radial vibration and 40 mm for axial position to limit cross-talk. Shafts smaller than 76.2 mm generally change the scale factor.

Why Seven Star LLC

Seven Star LLC supplies Bently Nevada 3300 XL transducer components to reliability and maintenance teams across Oman and the GCC. Before quoting, we check the system length, mounting option and approval suffix against your installed probe and extension cable, since a mismatched system length offsets the gap reading.

About brand

Since 1961 Bently Nevada, of Minden, Nevada, USA, has been closely tied to two things: the eddy current proximity probe and the rack-based machinery protection system. The 3500 rack is found on turbines and compressors in most large process plants.

Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier of Bently Nevada 3500 monitor modules, interface and communication modules, proximity probes, accelerometers and velocity transducers for operators in Oman and the GCC, with every item matched to the full part number.

Bently Nevada 3500 modules and transducers

The listed 3500 modules include the 3500/20 Rack Interface Module, the 3500/50M Tachometer, the 3500/61 Temperature and 3500/62 Process Variable monitors, the 3500/64M Dynamic Pressure monitor, the 3500/44M for aeroderivative gas turbines and the 3500/46M Hydro monitor. Reciprocating compressor monitoring is covered by the 3500/70M, 3500/72M and 3500/77M. The 3500/92 Communication Gateway and 3500/94M display link the rack to the control system. Transducers include the 3300 XL proximity probe system, the 330400 accelerometer and the 190501 Velomitor CT velocity transducer. The manufacturer's newer platform, Orbit 60, is offered as the modernization path for 3500 racks, and System 1 software handles diagnostics.

Where Bently Nevada vibration monitoring is used

Steam and gas turbines, generators, centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, large pumps, hydro units and cooling tower fans in oil and gas, power generation, petrochemical and mining plants are the usual machines. Measurements include radial vibration, thrust position, speed, phase, differential expansion, bearing temperature, rod position and cylinder pressure.

Ordering Bently Nevada parts: what we need

Send the complete part number with every option field, for example 330103-00-05-10-01-00 for a probe or the 3500 module number with its option dashes, plus the matching I/O module number. For probe systems state probe series, system length and the hazardous area approval. A photo of the label avoids transcription errors, and for rack modules the firmware revision is useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor for?
It is the signal conditioner of the 3300 XL proximity transducer system; it drives the probe and converts the gap into the vibration and position signal for the monitor.
Is the 330180-X0-05 compatible with 5 mm and 8 mm probes?
The 330180-X0-05 series Proximitor is the 5/8 mm type, matching the 3300 XL probe range used in API 670 machinery protection installations.
Where is the Proximitor mounted in the panel?
It is mounted in the junction box or panel close to the machine, either on the panel surface or on a DIN rail, as the part number option indicates.
What should be checked when the Proximitor is replaced?
The system length digits of the replacement must match the installed probe and extension cable, otherwise the gap reading is offset and the machine must be re-gapped.
What does the test jack on the Proximitor do?
It exposes the gap voltage for verification with a meter, so the static gap can be recorded at commissioning and compared during each shutdown.
