Full Technical Specifications

Key Product Features

• ‌Full 3300 XL Ecosystem Interoperability‌: No individual component pre-calibration required, directly compatible with all Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm Proximitor sensors and 3500 series monitoring modules you previously researched, no extra signal conversion hardware needed.
• ‌4-Meter Long Integral Cable‌: The 4-meter built-in cable length meets the wiring distance requirements of most large industrial rotating machinery, reducing the need for extra extension cables and minimizing signal connection points.
• ‌High Environmental Adaptability‌: Wide operating temperature range and 316 stainless steel housing deliver excellent corrosion resistance, supporting 7×24 hours continuous operation in harsh industrial environments.
• ‌High RFI/EMI Immunity‌: Optimized circuit design eliminates signal distortion caused by industrial electromagnetic interference, fully meeting CE mark compliance requirements.
• ‌Rugged Mechanical Construction‌: Industrial-grade probe body and reinforced cable structure provide exceptional mechanical durability, resisting damage from vibration, impact and long-term bending during field deployment.

Professional Installation Guidelines

1. Confirm the target rotating machinery is in full locked-out/tagged-out shutdown status before installation, select a mounting position perpendicular to the clean, uncoated shaft surface to avoid measurement distortion.
2. Thread the probe into the pre-drilled mounting hole, adjust the initial mechanical gap to set the gap voltage to the optimal mid-point of the linear working range, then tighten the dedicated lock nut securely to fix the probe position.
3. Route the 4-meter integral probe cable separately from high-voltage power cables, avoid sharp bends with radius less than 25 mm, connect the coaxial connector tightly to the matched Proximitor sensor.
4. Power on the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring rack, verify the gap voltage reading on the corresponding monitoring module is stable and within the normal working range, then perform a full TK-3 calibration validation before putting the system into formal operation.

Application Scenarios

This proximity sensor is widely deployed on steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, gas turbines, large industrial pumps, induced draft fans and other critical rotating equipment in power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical facilities and offshore oil platforms. It is a standard core component of Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximity measurement ecosystem, fully compatible with your existing 3500 series machinery protection system to meet API 670 industrial machinery protection standard requirements.
