Features:
- 330101-00-49-90-02-05 provides 9-meter length, 4.9-inch case, zero unthread, and 3/8-24 thread.
- CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals enable installation in hazardous areas with explosive atmospheres worldwide.
- TipLoc molding and CableLoc design deliver 330N pull strength for reliable industrial machine monitoring.
The 330101-00-49-90-02-05 is specifically configured for applications requiring extended cable length between the probe and the Proximitor sensor. With a total length of 9.0 meters (29.5 feet), this probe is designed to pair exclusively with 9-meter Proximitor sensors such as the 330180-90 (panel mount), 330180-91 (DIN mount), or 330180-92 (no mounting hardware). The zero unthreaded length (00) means the 3/8-24 UNF threads begin immediately at the probe tip, with no smooth cylindrical section before the threads.
The 330101-00-49-90-02-05 carries agency approval option 05, providing comprehensive certifications for installation in potentially explosive atmospheres worldwide. These include CSA (North America), ATEX (Europe), and IECEx (international). These certifications allow the probe to be installed in Zone 0, Zone 1, Zone 2, Division 1, and Division 2 hazardous locations commonly found in refineries, chemical plants, offshore platforms, and gas pipelines. The 3300 XL system's high RFI/EMI immunity satisfies European CE mark requirements without special shielded conduit or metallic housings, reducing installation costs.
The 330101-00-49-90-02-05 incorporates multiple patented design features for maximum durability in harsh industrial environments. TipLoc molding creates a permanent, robust bond between the probe tip and the probe body, eliminating a common failure point found in older designs. CableLoc technology secures the probe cable with 330 N (75 lbf) pull strength, preventing accidental disconnection during installation or machine operation. The 8 mm diameter provides thicker encapsulation of the probe coil in molded PPS plastic compared to 5 mm probes, resulting in a more rugged sensing tip. The larger diameter of the probe body also provides a stronger, more robust case. The probe is fully interchangeable with non-XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm components, allowing gradual system upgrades. However, mixing XL and non-XL components limits system performance to non-XL specifications.
The 330101-00-49-90-02-05 Bently Nevada Proximity Probe may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Radial Vibration (Displacement): Typically mounted in a 90-degree orthogonal X-Y pair on fluid-film bearings to measure the dynamic radial motion of the rotor shaft.
- Thrust (Axial Position) Monitoring: Installed facing the collar or end-face of thrust bearings to monitor axial rotor float, preventing catastrophic rotor-to-stator rubbing.
- Keyphasor Reference & Speed Measurement: Aims at a keyway or notch on the shaft to generate a once-per-turn phase pulse, essential for speed calculation and dynamic vibration balancing analysis.
- Hardware is "Passive/Firmware-Free": The 330101 probe is a purely analog, passive piece of hardware composed of a PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) tip coil, a steel case, and a 75Ω coaxial cable. It contains no microprocessor, no memory, and cannot receive software updates.
- Upstream System Updates: Any reference to firmware updates refers to the upstream Proximitor Sensor (330100 series) or the machinery protection monitors (such as the Bently Nevada 3500/42M Proximitor Monitor or Orbit 60 platforms). Those module firmwares are flashed using 3500 Rack Configuration Software or Orbit Studio via the system's communication interface (e.g., 3500/22M TDI).
- Linear Range: The standard linear scale factor of the 3300 XL 8mm system is 2.0 mm (80 mils).
- Mechanical Centering: During installation, the distance between the probe tip and the shaft target (calibrated to AISI 4140 steel) must be physically positioned to the center of its linear range: 1.27 mm (50 mils).
- Voltage Verification: When properly gapped at 50 mils, the output between the OUT and COM terminals on the Proximitor must read precisely -10.0 Vdc. The system operates on a standard sensitivity of 200 mV/mil (7.87 V/mm).
