Product Overview
The Bently Nevada 330180-51-CN belongs to the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor family. This sensor accepts one non-contacting 3300-series 5 mm or 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe. An extension cable connects the probe to this Proximitor. Total system length reaches 5.0 meters (16.4 feet). This particular model includes a DIN mount option. Agency approval option CN indicates country-specific certifications. The 330180-51-CN incorporates numerous improvements over previous designs. For example, physical packaging allows high-density DIN-rail installations. Alternatively, you can mount the sensor in a traditional panel mount configuration. The 4-hole mounting footprint matches older Proximitor designs. Consequently, retrofits and upgrades proceed smoothly.

Mounting Flexibility
The Bently Nevada 330180-51-CN offers two mounting configurations. High-density DIN-rail installation saves cabinet space. Traditional panel mounting uses the familiar 4-hole footprint. Older Proximitor designs share this exact mounting pattern. Therefore, upgrading existing systems requires no panel rework. The mounting base provides electrical isolation automatically. Separate isolator plates become completely unnecessary. For this reason, installation time and cost both decrease. The 330180-51-CN adapts to your preferred mounting method easily. The 51 option specifically includes DIN mount hardware.
RFI/EMI Immunity
The 330180-51-CN demonstrates high immunity to radio frequency interference. Fiberglass housings cause no adverse effects on sensor operation. Nearby radio frequency signals do not corrupt measurements. Special shielded conduit becomes unnecessary for this sensor. Metallic housings are also not required. European CE mark approvals are satisfied without these extras. Consequently, installation costs drop significantly. System complexity reduces as well. The Bently Nevada 330180-51-CN performs reliably even in electrically noisy environments. This RFI immunity protects measurement integrity.
SpringLoc Terminal Strips
SpringLoc terminal strips distinguish the 3300 XL design. No special installation tools are required for wiring. Screw-type clamping mechanisms are completely eliminated. Those traditional screws can loosen over time from vibration. SpringLoc connections remain secure permanently. Field wiring connections become faster and more robust. For maintenance teams, this feature saves considerable time. The 330180-51-CN ensures reliable electrical contacts throughout its service life. Wiring mistakes reduce with this simpler termination method.
Input & Output Characteristics
A non-contacting probe connects to the Bently Nevada 330180-51-CN. Compatible probes include 3300-series 5 mm and 3300 XL 8 mm types. An extension cable joins the probe to this Proximitor. Power requirements depend on your circuit configuration. Non-incendive circuits need -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc. Barriers require -23 Vdc to -26 Vdc. Operation above -23.5 Vdc may reduce linear range. Therefore, verify your power supply voltage carefully. Output resistance measures 50 Ω nominal. Supply sensitivity stays below 2 mV change per volt change.
Agency Approval Option CN
The CN suffix indicates country-specific approvals for the 330180-51-CN. These certifications meet local regulatory requirements for specific nations. Consult Bently Nevada documentation for exact countries covered. For global applications, the 05 approval option provides CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certification. The CN option serves markets with unique national standards. Accordingly, verify that CN approvals match your installation location before ordering. The Bently Nevada 330180-51-CN satisfies local compliance needs.
Installation Guidelines
Follow these steps for proper installation of the 330180-51-CN.
Mount the sensor on DIN rail using the integrated clip for the 51 option.
Connect the 3300 XL 8 mm probe using the extension cable.
Wire the power supply observing correct polarity for -24 Vdc nominal.
Verify supply voltage stays within -17.5 Vdc to -26 Vdc for non-incendive circuits.
Secure field wiring using the SpringLoc terminal strips. No screwdriver needed.
Check the probe gap according to your specific application requirements.
Power up the system and measure output voltage for proper operation.
Note: The 330180-51-CN requires a clean mounting surface for proper electrical isolation. Operation at voltages more positive than -23.5 Vdc may reduce linear range. Always consult installation drawing 140979 for non-incendive circuit connections.

Common FAQs
1. What total length does the 51 option provide on the 330180-51-CN?
The 51 suffix indicates 5.0 meters (16.4 feet) system length. This length includes the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor. For medium-distance installations between probe and monitoring equipment, this length works well. Shorter or longer options are available with other suffix codes.
2. What is the difference between CN approval and other options on the 330180-51-CN?
The CN option provides country-specific certifications rather than general approvals. Standard options like 05 include CSA, ATEX, and IECEx. The CN option meets unique national standards for specific countries. Before ordering the 330180-51-CN, verify that CN approvals apply to your installation location.
3. Can I mount the 330180-51-CN in a fiberglass enclosure?
Yes, the improved RFI/EMI immunity allows fiberglass housing use. Special shielded conduit becomes unnecessary. Metallic housings are also not required. CE mark approvals are satisfied without extra shielding. Consequently, installation costs remain lower than with older sensors. The 330180-51-CN performs reliably in non-metallic enclosures.
4. What is the operating temperature range for the 330180-51-CN?
Operating temperature spans -52°C to +100°C (-62°F to +212°F). Storage temperature reaches -52°C to +105°C (-62°F to +221°F). For this reason, the 330180-51-CN suits harsh industrial environments. Turbine monitoring and compressor protection applications work well within this range.
5. How do SpringLoc terminals improve wiring on the 330180-51-CN?
SpringLoc terminals require no special tools for installation. Screw-type clamping mechanisms are eliminated entirely. Those screws can loosen from vibration over time. SpringLoc connections remain secure permanently. Field wiring therefore becomes faster, more robust, and more reliable. The 330180-51-CN reduces common wiring failure points.
Why Choose This Sensor?
The Bently Nevada 330180-51-CN delivers reliable proximity measurement for critical machinery. High RFI/EMI immunity allows flexible enclosure choices. SpringLoc terminals simplify field wiring dramatically. DIN mount option (51) supports high-density cabinet layouts. Country-specific approvals (CN) satisfy local regulatory requirements. Operating temperature from -52°C to +100°C handles extreme conditions. For turbine, compressor, and pump protection in specific countries, choose the 330180-51-CN.
