Installation Instructions

1. Preparation:

   • Ensure the equipment is powered off and secured.

   • Verify probe orientation and mounting location are in accordance with machine specifications.

2. Mounting the Probe:

   • Insert the probe into the mounting sleeve.

   • Thread the probe into the mounting hole using the proper torque (as specified in the manual).

   • Leave a proper gap between the probe tip and the shaft (typically 1 mm).

3. Cable Connection:

   • Connect the extension cable to the probe using the ClickLoc™ connector.

   • Route and secure the cable to prevent mechanical wear or EMI exposure.

4. Connecting the Proximitor Sensor:

   • Attach the other end of the extension cable to the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor.

   • Confirm correct polarity and secure all connectors.

5. System Calibration:

   • Power up the system and use the calibration tools to fine-tune output.

   • Verify output voltage and linearity across the target displacement range.

6. Final Inspection:

   • Double-check all mounting points.

   • Ensure cables are secure and not exposed to abrasion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the primary function of the 330101-00-08-05-02-00 proximity probe?
A1: The primary function is to measure the distance between the probe tip and a conductive surface, typically the rotating shaft of machinery, to monitor vibration and shaft position.

Q2: Can this probe operate in hazardous environments?
A2: Yes, the 330101 series is designed with rugged stainless-steel construction and is rated for use in industrial environments with high vibration, EMI, and temperature variation.

Q3: Is the probe compatible with older Bently Nevada systems?
A3: Yes, the probe maintains backward compatibility with legacy systems such as the 7200 series and integrates fully with the 3300 XL and 3500 systems.

Q4: How do I determine the correct gap voltage during installation?
A4: The correct gap voltage is typically -8 VDC, which corresponds to a 1 mm gap. Adjust the probe depth during installation to achieve this value, as verified using a Bently Nevada calibration tool.

Q5: How frequently should the probe be inspected or replaced?
A5: Inspection should be part of routine maintenance, typically every 6 to 12 months depending on the operating environment. Replacement is only necessary if degradation in output or physical damage is observed.

Q6: What type of cable is used with this probe?
A6: The 330101-00-08-05-02-00 uses a coaxial extension cable (330130 series) with a ClickLoc™ locking connector for secure attachment and EMI resistance.
