Technical Specifications
The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-15-12-CN uses a Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) probe tip. This material offers excellent chemical and wear resistance. The probe case uses AISI 303 or 304 stainless steel (SST) for strong durability. You get a nominal probe DC resistance of 7.73 ± 0.50 Ω from center to outer conductor.
Key Electrical and Mechanical Parameters
Thread Type: M10 x 1 threads for secure mounting.
Thread Engagement Length: Maximum 15 mm for stable installation.
Total Length Option: 1.5 meter (4.9 feet) for flexible routing.
Connector Type: Miniature ClickLoc coaxial connector with FluidLoc cable (option 12).
Agency Approval: CN (Country Specific) for regional compliance.
The FluidLoc cable provides enhanced protection against fluid migration. This feature benefits applications with oil or chemical exposure. The standard cable uses 75Ω triaxial design with FEP insulation.
FluidLoc Cable Information
The -12 connector option adds a FluidLoc cable to the probe assembly. Bently Nevada designed this cable to block fluid wicking inside the cable. Most installations do not need this feature due to the existing probe sleeve. Please evaluate your application carefully before selecting this option.
Environmental and Operating Ranges
Probe Temperature (Standard): -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F).
Probe Tip Temperature (Extended): Up to +218°C (+425°F).
Cable Temperature (Extended): -51°C to +260°C (-60°F to +500°F).
Relative Humidity: Less than 3% change in ASF at 93% humidity for 56 days (IEC 68-2-3).
Pressure Seal: Viton® O-ring seals differential pressure between tip and case.
⚠️ Important Note: Exposing this probe below -34°C (-30°F) may cause early pressure seal failure. Please follow proper installation guidelines.

Tensile Strength (Lead to Connector): 270 N (60 lbf).
Connector Material: Gold-plated brass or gold-plated beryllium copper.
Probe Weight: 323 g per meter (11.4 oz per meter) plus FluidLoc cable addition.
Installation Guidelines
Follow these steps to install your Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-15-12-CN probe correctly.
Inspect the Probe – Check for any shipping damage on the PPS tip and threads.
Verify FluidLoc Need – Confirm your application truly requires the FluidLoc cable feature.
Clean the Mounting Hole – Ensure the M10 x 1 threaded hole is clean and dry.
Hand-Thread First – Turn the probe case by hand for two to three rotations to avoid cross-threading.
Torque to Specification – Tighten the probe case to 6.8 to 8.5 N·m (60 to 75 in-lb).
Secure the FluidLoc Cable – Connect the miniature ClickLoc connector until it clicks firmly.
Route the Cable Carefully – Keep the FluidLoc cable away from sharp edges and high heat.
Verify Air Gap – Use a 3300 XL proximity system to confirm the correct gap voltage.
Do not pull the FluidLoc cable with more than 270 N (60 lbf) of force. This will damage the internal connections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. When should I choose the FluidLoc cable option for my 3300 XL probe?
Choose FluidLoc only when oil or liquid can wick through the cable into the connector. Most reverse mount probes have a sleeve that blocks fluid entry effectively.
2. Does the 330106-05-30-15-12-CN work with standard extension cables?
Yes. This probe works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL extension cables. The FluidLoc feature remains active only when using compatible FluidLoc extension cables.
3. Is the reverse mount design difficult to install in tight spaces?
No. The reverse mount allows insertion from inside the machine casing. This design actually simplifies installation where external access is restricted.
4. What is the maximum temperature for the FluidLoc cable on this probe?
The FluidLoc cable handles up to +260°C (+500°F) for extended range versions. The probe tip withstands up to +218°C (+425°F).
5. Can I use this probe without a 3300 XL proximity system?
No. This probe requires a compatible Bently Nevada proximity system. The system provides excitation and signal conditioning for accurate measurements.
Why Choose This Model?
The Bently Nevada 330106-05-30-15-12-CN offers specialized fluid protection. Its PPS tip resists chemicals and high temperatures. The stainless steel case provides strong mechanical protection. The FluidLoc cable prevents fluid wicking in wet environments. This 3300 XL series probe reduces false alarms from moisture ingress. Most users do not need the FluidLoc option. However, for aggressive fluid exposure, this model delivers unmatched reliability. Choose this version for oil-rich, chemical, or high-humidity machinery monitoring applications.
