Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the function of the 330730-040-00-05 extension cable?
A1: It connects the proximity probe to the Proximitor sensor in the 3300 XL series, allowing accurate vibration monitoring in machinery protection systems.

Q2: Can this cable be used with non-Bently Nevada proximity probes?
A2: No, it is specifically engineered for compatibility with Bently Nevada 3300 XL system components and may not perform correctly with third-party probes.

Q3: Is the cable resistant to oil and chemicals?
A3: Yes, the PFA jacket offers strong resistance against industrial oils, lubricants, and chemical exposure, making it suitable for rugged environments.

Q4: What is the maximum length I can use for this type of extension cable?
A4: Standard lengths up to 12 meters are supported. For custom applications, always ensure the total system length (probe + cable + sensor) matches configuration requirements.

Q5: Does it require calibration after installation?
A5: Yes, the system must be calibrated post-installation to ensure the probe gap and signal accuracy are within operational specifications.

Q6: Can the cable be routed near power lines?
A6: It is not recommended. Always route the extension cable away from high-voltage or high-frequency power sources to minimize EMI interference.
