Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between 330730-080-13-05 and 330730-080-11-05?
The Bently Nevada 330730-080-13-05 includes a connector protector in addition to the armored FluidLoc cable. The 330730-080-11-05 has armored FluidLoc without the connector protector.

2. Why should I use the connector protector on this extension cable?
The connector protector provides additional protection in humid or moist environments. Bently Nevada recommends connector protectors for all installations to increase environmental protection.

3. What is the maximum field wiring length from the Proximitor Sensor to the monitor?
The 330730-080-13-05 system supports up to 305 meters (1,000 feet) of field wiring between the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and the monitor.

4. Can I use silicone tape instead of the connector protector?
Yes, silicone tape is provided with each 3300 XL extension cable. However, silicone tape is not recommended for applications where the connection will be exposed to turbine oil.

5. What is the pull strength of the CableLoc design on this probe system?
The patented CableLoc design provides 330 N (75 lb) pull strength. This securely attaches the probe cable to the probe tip for reliable operation.
