Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 330907-05-30-05-12-CN is a 3300 NSv Reverse Mount Probe. This probe has increased chemical resistance compared to the 3300 RAM probe. Therefore, it suits many process compressor applications.

The side-view characteristics of the 3300 NSv probe are also superior to those of the 3000-series 190 probe. This advantage becomes apparent when gapping the 3300 NSv probe at the same distance from the probe target. Consequently, the 330907-05-30-05-12-CN provides more reliable measurements in side-view installations.

Pressure Specifications

The 330907-05-30-05-12-CN is designed for differential pressure sealing.

3300 NSv probes are designed to seal differential pressure between the probe tip and case. The probe sealing material consists of a Viton O-ring. Therefore, the probe maintains integrity in pressurized process environments.

FluidLoc Cable Option

The -12 connector option includes a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with FluidLoc cable. The FluidLoc option prevents oil and other liquids from leaking out of the machine through the cable's interior. Therefore, it is essential for turbine and compressor applications.

Connector Features

All components of the transducer system have gold-plated brass ClickLoc connectors. These connectors lock into place and prevent the connection from loosening. The 330907-05-30-05-12-CN includes a miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector with FluidLoc cable.

Probe Construction Features

The 3300 NSv probe includes several patented design features.

TipLoc Molding Method:
Provides a robust bond between the probe tip and the probe body. This ensures long-term reliability.

Probe Case Configurations:
The 3300 NSv probe comes in varying probe case configurations. These include armored and unarmored 1/4-28, 3/8-24, M8x1 and M10x1 probe threads. The reverse mount 3300 NSv probe comes standard with either 3/8-24 or M10x1 threads.

Key Features

The 330907-05-30-05-12-CN offers several advantages for proximity measurement.

Increased Chemical Resistance:
Compared to the 3300 RAM probe, this probe resists chemicals better. Therefore, it suits many process compressor applications.

Superior Side-View Characteristics:
Side-view characteristics are superior to those of the 3000-series 190 probe. Consequently, gapping is more reliable at the same distance from the probe target.

Prevents oil and other liquids from leaking through the cable interior. This is essential for turbine and compressor applications.

Gold-Plated ClickLoc Connectors:
Lock into place to prevent loosening. This ensures reliable connections under vibration.

Wide Temperature Range:
Operates from -52°C to +177°C. Hence, it suits extreme climate conditions.

Viton O-Ring Seal:

Short Cable Length:
The 0.5 meter length suits installations where the Proximitor Sensor is mounted very close to the probe. Consequently, cable management is simplified.

Typical Applications

The 330907-05-30-05-12-CN suits various turbomachinery monitoring applications.

• Process compressor radial vibration monitoring.

• Reverse mount installation where space is limited.

• Axial position measurement with M10x1 thread requirements.

• Side-view proximity measurements in tight machine clearances.

• Oil and gas applications where FluidLoc cable is required.

Installation Guidelines

Install the 330907-05-30-05-12-CN according to standard 3300 NSv proximity system practices. Use the recommended torque of 7.5 N•m (66 in•lb). Do not exceed the maximum rated torque of 22.6 N•m (200 in•lb).

For thread engagement, ensure at least 15 mm of M10x1 thread is engaged. Connect the miniature coaxial ClickLoc connector by pushing until it locks. The FluidLoc cable prevents oil leakage through the cable interior.

Set the initial gap to approximately 1.0 mm (40 mils). The linear range extends from 0.25 to 1.75 mm (10 to 70 mils). Avoid sustained operation below -34°C (-30°F) to prevent pressure seal failure.

Since this model has country specific approvals, verify compliance with local regulations before installation.
