Features:
- 330130-030-12-05 provides 3.0-meter FluidLoc oil-blocking cable with connector protector and hazardous area approvals.
- CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications enable installation in explosive atmospheres for global hazardous area deployment.
- Gold-plated ClickLoc connectors with finger-tight locking prevent loosening from vibration in industrial machinery.
The 330130-030-12-05 incorporates FluidLoc cable technology, which seals the cable interior and prevents oil and other industrial fluids from migrating through the conductor bundles and leaking out at termination points. This is essential for steam turbine, gas turbine, and compressor installations where probe cables pass through oil-filled bearing housings. Without FluidLoc protection, oil wicking through the cable could contaminate connectors and degrade signal integrity. The factory-installed connector protector adds an extra layer of environmental sealing at the connection point, shielding the gold-plated ClickLoc connectors from moisture, dust, and oil. Bently Nevada recommends connector protectors for all installations to increase environmental protection, and this cable comes with one pre-installed.
The 330130-030-12-05 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), allowing the cable 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 330130-030-12-05 uses gold-plated ClickLoc connectors that represent a significant improvement over previous connector designs. These connectors are highly corrosion-resistant, ensuring reliable electrical contact even in humid or chemically aggressive environments. Installation requires only finger-tight torque – an audible "click" confirms proper engagement, eliminating the need for torque wrenches or special tools. The specially engineered locking mechanism prevents connectors from loosening due to machine vibration, a common failure mode in industrial monitoring systems.
The 330130-030-12-05 Bently Nevada Extension Cable may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Fluid-Film Bearing Machinery: Monitoring radial vibration (shaft dynamic motion) and axial thrust position (shaft displacement) on high-speed turbines, compressors, large pumps, and generators.
- Keyphasor & Speed Measurement: Providing phase reference and RPM tracking for predictive maintenance and dynamic balancing.
- Hazardous Environments (-05 Approval): Extensively used in oil & gas upstream/downstream, petrochemical, and power generation plants. Its certifications allow safe operation in Zone 0/1/2 or Class I, Division 1/2 environments.
- High-Moisture and Oily Zones (-12 FluidLoc): The patented FluidLoc technology prevents lubricating oil or process gases from leaking out of the machine through the inside of the cable core. It is highly applied in steam turbines, gearboxes, and oil-sealed sumps.
- Continuous Loop Monitoring: The connected Proximitor Sensor constantly monitors the DC gap voltage across the complete loop (probe + extension cable + sensor).
- False Trip Prevention: If the cable is severed, short-circuited, or disconnected, the Proximitor drops its "OK" status signal. The machinery protection system (e.g., Bently Nevada 3500) will latch a "NOT OK" alarm instead of triggering a false automatic trip, ensuring that a simple cable failure does not halt production.
- FluidLoc Seal: Prevents oil or moisture from wicking into the cable. This blocks changes in internal capacitance or resistance, which would otherwise distort the dynamic vibration signal.
- ClickLoc Connectors: Built with gold-plated corrosion-resistant connections. The design clicks into place to resist machine-induced vibration, avoiding loose-contact issues.
- System Length Matching (Crucial): The 3300 XL 8mm system requires a total electrical length of exactly 5.0 meters or 9.0 meters. Since this cable is 3.0 meters, it must be paired with either a 2.0-meter probe (for a 5m system) or a 6.0-meter probe (for a 9m system). Mixing unmatched lengths distorts the scale factor (-200 mV/mil) and renders measurements invalid.
- Connector Hand-Tightening: Connect the ClickLoc joint until you hear or feel a distinct "click". Do not use pliers or heavy tools, as over-tightening will damage the gold plating.
- Connector Protector Deployment: Always slide the provided connector protector sleeves over the connection joint using the designated installation tool to ensure environmental sealing.
- Minimum Bend Radius: Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25.4 mm (1.0 inch) during installation. Avoid sharp kinks, which alter the inner coaxial geometry and degrade signal accuracy.
