Description
Bently Nevada 330905‑00‑09‑05‑02‑RU — 3300‑XL 8 mm Short‑Body Proximity Probe (Russian EAC Variant)
Product Overview
The 330905‑00‑09‑05‑02‑RU is a short‑body eddy‑current proximity probe within the Bently Nevada 3300‑XL 8 mm transducer family. The ‑RU suffix indicates the regional variant supplied with full EAC conformity documentation for Russian Federation customs clearance and site acceptance; hardware electro‑mechanical characteristics remain identical to standard global‑spec units. This probe converts physical gap displacement between probe tip and metallic rotating target into impedance signals for the mating proximitor module. Compliant with API 670, it is deployed for radial vibration, axial thrust‑position and Keyphasor phase reference measurements in turbomachinery protection and predictive condition‑monitoring systems where limited mounting space requires a compact short‑length probe body.
Critical Compatibility Warning
- Exclusively compatible with 3300‑XL 8 mm proximitor modules (330180‑xx‑00) and 330130 series ClickLoc extension cables.
- Not compatible with 11 mm transducer series or NSv probe families.
- Total system cable length = probe integral pigtail length + extension cable length, must strictly match the proximitor’s rated total cable length. Incorrect total length causes scale‑factor shift and erroneous displacement readings.
- Works with 3500/42M, 3300/12, 3300/15 monitor racks for alarm, trip and trending functions.
- The ‑RU suffix only provides EAC supporting paperwork; no modification to hardware performance. Always verify intrinsic‑safety marking before installation in explosive classified hazardous zones.

Main Features
- API‑670‑compliant short‑body full‑thread probe, Russian EAC‑ready variant: Same mechanical and electrical performance as global standard models; supplied with documentation package to satisfy Russian import customs and plant acceptance requirements.
- Ultra‑compact 0.9‑inch full‑thread body: Optimized for confined installation spaces with shallow counter‑bore depth where standard‑length probes cannot physically fit.
- 0.5 m short integral pigtail cable: Short factory‑fitted cable, enabling flexible total‑length configuration by adding ClickLoc extension cables to match proximitor cable rating.
- Standard 2.0 mm linear measurement range: Suitable for shaft radial vibration and axial thrust‑position monitoring of turbines, compressors and other rotating assets.
- Wide operating temperature range ‑35 °C ~ +175 °C: Tolerates oil‑mist and high‑temperature conditions inside machinery casings and instrument cabinets.
- ClickLoc quick‑lock coaxial connector: Delivers stable low‑noise interconnection with 330130 series extension cables, minimizing intermittent signal fault risks.
- EAC compliance documentation included: Simplifies import clearance and equipment acceptance for industrial projects within Russian Federation territory.
- Full interoperability within the 3300‑XL 8 mm transducer family; no special component pairing required.
Typical Application Scenarios
- Vibration and thrust‑protection loops for steam / gas turbines and centrifugal compressors in Russian‑based industrial projects requiring EAC documentation
- Machinery with shallow counter‑bore mounting holes where standard‑length probes encounter mechanical space interference
- Refinery, petrochemical and power‑plant critical pumps, blowers and gearbox condition‑monitoring systems
- Keyphasor phase‑reference and shaft‑speed measurement for space‑limited probe mounting positions
- Retrofit and spare‑part replacement for existing short‑body 3300‑XL transducer installations at Russian‑site facilities
- Import projects where local customs authorities demand official EAC conformity paperwork for automation measuring components

Installation and Configuration Guide
Warning: Installation must be performed by qualified instrumentation technicians. Always refer to original Bently Nevada 3300‑XL official manual as primary reference document. Confirm intrinsic‑safety marking before deploying within hazardous explosive classified zones.
- Mechanical Probe Mounting
- Screw the short‑body full‑thread probe into machine casing counter‑bore; adjust insertion depth to achieve target operating gap, then tighten lock‑nut.
- Ensure probe tip is perpendicular to metallic shaft target surface; angular misalignment deteriorates linear‑range performance and measurement accuracy.
- Verify sufficient rotor‑to‑probe clearance; eliminate risk of rotor‑probe collision under shaft thermal growth and full‑amplitude vibration excursion. Pay extra attention for this short‑body variant to avoid mechanical interference.
- Connector Mating & Torque Control
- Align ClickLoc pin layout before insertion; never force connector engagement.
- Tighten ClickLoc connector to manufacturer‑specified torque value. Over‑torque damages internal pins; under‑torque creates intermittent signal faults.
- Do not connect or disconnect transducer cables while proximitor power supply is energized.
- System Total‑Length Validation
- Calculate total transducer cable length = probe integral pigtail length + sum of extension‑cable lengths.
- Confirm calculated total matches the cable‑length rating of installed proximitor. Mismatch results in incorrect scale‑factor output.
- System Commissioning Test
- Complete full transducer‑loop wiring and power‑on the proximitor unit.
- Perform static gap calibration test with calibration fixture; validate output voltage and scale‑factor performance.
- Confirm Not‑OK fault status clears after correct wiring and gap adjustment.
- Maintenance & Troubleshooting
- Inspect ClickLoc connectors for dirt, corrosion and loose contact during machinery turnaround outages.
- Check cable jacket for abrasion, oil degradation and mechanical crushing damage.
- Signal drift or sporadic Not‑OK alarms may indicate defective probe assembly or poor connector contact. Replace complete probe assembly; field splicing or repair of probe cable is not permitted.
- Regional Documentation Note
- The ‑RU suffix provides EAC‑compliant documentation package for Russian customs clearance and plant acceptance; hardware electro‑mechanical parameters remain unchanged. Local site safety regulations shall still be followed for hazardous‑area installation.
Supplementary Remark
330905‑00‑09‑05‑02‑RU is a compact short‑body full‑thread 3300‑XL 8 mm proximity probe with 0.9‑inch body length, 0.5 m integral pigtail cable and ClickLoc connector. The ‑RU suffix represents Russian‑market regional variant supplied with EAC conformity documentation for import clearance and site acceptance. Hardware performance equals corresponding standard‑order part numbers. It must be paired exclusively with 3300‑XL 8 mm‑series proximitor and ClickLoc extension‑cable assemblies. Prior to commissioning, cross‑check part‑number configuration, thread specification, short‑body dimension, pigtail length, connector style, intrinsic‑safety marking and total‑system cable length against project BOM and mechanical drawings.
