330130-040-02-00 is a Bently Nevada 3300 XL series standard extension cable with a total length of 4.0 meters (13.1 feet). This model features standard FEP-insulated cable and includes pre-installed connector protectors that provide additional environmental sealing for the connectors, but does not include armor or hazardous area approvals.
It is an essential component of the 3300 XL 8 mm eddy current probe system, specifically designed for installations requiring the precise 4.0 meter length to match a 1.0 meter probe to form a complete 5 meter system, along with environmental sealing for connectors without the need for mechanical armor. Typical applications include industrial environments with oil mist, moisture, or conduit routing requirements.
Model Breakdown: 330130-040-02-00 Configuration Details
Following Bently Nevada’s part number coding system (refer to datasheet Pages 18-19), the fields in this model number represent the following:
Field | Code | Parameter | Description |
Base Model | 330130
| 3300 XL Standard Extension Cable | Compatible with 3300 XL 8 mm and 3300 5 mm series probes |
Length Option | 040
| 4.0 meters (13.1 ft) | Total cable length for precise system total length matching |
Cable Option | 02
| Standard Cable with Connector Protector | Standard FEP cable with pre-installed connector protector for environmental sealing |
Agency Approval | 00
| Not Required | Standard industrial version for non-hazardous areas |
Key Configuration Note: The combination of 040 and 02 is the defining feature of this model. In a 3300 XL system, when using a 1.0 meter probe (e.g., 330101-XX-10-XX), a 4.0 meter extension cable is required to form a complete 5 m system (1.0 m + 4.0 m = 5 m). This model meets this precise total length matching requirement while providing pre-installed connector protectors that offer oil sealing, dust protection, and moisture resistance.
Connector Protector Details
What is a Connector Protector?
The connector protector is a fluorosilicone sealing sleeve pre-installed on the cable connector end. After connector mating, it forms a sealing barrier that protects the connector interface from environmental damage.
Functions of the Connector Protector
Environmental Sealing: Prevents turbine oil, moisture, and dust from penetrating the connector interface, reducing the risk of signal degradation or short circuits
Enhanced Connection Reliability: Forms a sealed sleeve after connector mating, ensuring long-term connection stability
Media Ingress Prevention: In oil mist environments, the protector prevents oil from seeping through the connector threads
Easy Installation: Pre-installed; users only need to tighten the ClickLoc connector normally — no special tools required
Important Note: The datasheet specifically notes that silicone tape is not recommended for applications where the probe-to-extension cable connection will be exposed to turbine oil, and connector protectors are the recommended alternative. This model, with pre-installed connector protectors, is the ideal choice for oil mist or moisture-prone environments.
Comparison with Standard Cable
Feature | Standard Cable (00/01) | Cable with Protector (02/03/12/13) |
Environmental Sealing | No | Yes (fluorosilicone protector) |
Typical Applications | Dry, clean environments | Oil mist, moisture, conduit routing |
Cable Outer Diameter | 3.68 mm | 3.68 mm (protector area slightly larger) |
Installation | Direct tightening | Protector automatically seals when tightened |
Application Scenarios & Selection Guide
330130-040-02-00 is suitable for the following typical applications:
Precise Total Length Matching for 5 m Systems + Connector Environmental Sealing: When using a 1.0 meter probe, a 4.0 meter extension cable is required to form a complete 5 m system (1.0 m + 4.0 m = 5 m). This model meets this precise total length matching requirement while providing connector environmental sealing, making it ideal for environments with oil mist, moisture, or conduit routing.
Industrial Environments with Oil Mist or Moisture: Near compressors, pumps, and gearboxes, oil mist or moisture may be present. Connector protectors effectively prevent media ingress.
Conduit Routing (Requiring Connector Protection): When cables must be routed through metal conduit and the connector may contact the conduit wall or experience friction, protectors provide additional protection.
Cost-Sensitive Environmental Sealing Requirements: Compared to the 03 option (armored + protector), this model provides protectors without armor, reducing procurement cost while still meeting environmental sealing requirements — ideal for applications with minimal mechanical stress.
Selection Notes:
Total Length Matching: Probe length + extension cable length = Proximitor Sensor total system length (5 m or 9 m). Verify your probe length: if using a 1.0 m probe, select this model (4.0 m); if using a 0.5 m probe, select a 4.5 m extension cable with protector (e.g., 330130-045-02-00).
Connector Protector Maintenance: Protectors are pre-installed and require no field assembly. If removal for inspection is necessary, ensure proper reinstallation to maintain seal integrity.
Ambient Temperature: If the application environment exceeds +177°C, consider the ETR (Extended Temperature Range) cable with protector series (e.g., 330190-040-02-00).
Armor Requirements: If the installation environment also involves mechanical impact, crushing, or abrasion risks, consider the armored + protector version (e.g., 330130-040-03-00).
Comparison with Common Lengths
Model | Length | Protector | Armor | Typical Matching Probe | System |
330130-040-00-00 | 4.0 m | No | No | 1.0 m probe | 5 m system |
330130-040-02-00 | 4.0 m | Yes | No | 1.0 m probe | 5 m system |
330130-040-03-00 | 4.0 m | Yes | Yes | 1.0 m probe | 5 m system |
Standard 5 m systems are typically composed of a 1.0 m probe + 4.0 m cable, or a 0.5 m probe + 4.5 m cable. Choose the extension cable length that matches your probe.
Mechanical Dimensions & Installation
Cable Outer Diameter: Standard cable 3.68 mm (0.145 in) maximum
Connector Protector Outer Diameter: 12.4 mm (0.49 in) maximum
Connector: Features the ClickLoc design. Finger-tighten until an audible "click" is heard — no special tools are required. The protector automatically forms a seal when tightened.
Installation Tips: When routing through conduit, use a pull rope or fish tape attached to the cable jacket (not the connector protector) to avoid stress. If protector removal is required for inspection, refer to the datasheet for tool instructions.
