Installation Instructions

1. Preparation: Ensure all system components (probe, extension cable, proximitor sensor) are powered off before starting installation. Inspect connectors and armor for physical damage.

2. Routing the Cable: Route the cable through the equipment framework, securing it using stainless steel clamps every 30–50 cm to avoid movement or abrasion.

3. Connecting to Probe and Proximitor:

   • Connect the proximity probe to one end of the extension cable using the keyed connector.

   • Secure the connection using the provided locking nut.

   • Connect the opposite end to the proximitor sensor module using the straight connector.

4. Environmental Sealing: For installations in wet or dusty environments, use IP65-compliant sealing grommets or conduit entries.

5. System Testing: After installation, power on the system and verify that the proximitor sensor is receiving accurate readings from the probe. Use a Bently Nevada signal checker for verification.

6. Final Inspection: Perform a visual inspection to confirm there are no kinks, loose connections, or exposed conductors.

FAQs (Q&A Format)

Q1: What is the primary function of the 330103-00-04-10-02-05 cable?
A1: The cable functions as an extension between a proximity probe and proximitor sensor in Bently Nevada’s 3300 XL vibration monitoring system, maintaining high signal integrity over a 4-meter distance.

Q2: Is the 330103-00-04-10-02-05 suitable for use in hazardous environments?
A2: Yes, its stainless steel armor and robust design enable use in industrial settings with high temperature, mechanical stress, or electromagnetic interference.

Q3: Can this cable be used with the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring system?
A3: Indirectly, yes. While the cable is not directly installed into the 3500 rack, it connects to transducer components that interface with 3500 modules.

Q4: What maintenance is required for this extension cable?
A4: Periodic inspection for mechanical wear, secure connector integrity, and continuity testing are recommended to ensure long-term reliability.

Q5: Can the cable be field-trimmed or cut to length?
A5: No. The cable is factory-terminated and sealed. Any attempt to trim or modify it can compromise signal integrity and invalidate warranties.

Q6: Does the cable include EMC/EMI shielding?
A6: Yes, the design incorporates internal shielding and stainless steel armor, offering high protection against electromagnetic interference.
