Selection Suggestions and Precautions
Selection Suggestions:
- Ensure the total length of the proximity probe + this extension cable equals the electrical length required by the 3300 XL 25 mm Proximitor Sensor.
- Confirm the probe is also a 3300 XL 25 mm type (e.g., 330851 series).
- Choose high-temperature FluidLoc (option 24) when the cable will be exposed to elevated temperatures or harsh fluids.
- Verify agency approval requirements; this version has no approvals (00).
Precautions:
- Never mix cable lengths or types that do not match the Proximitor Sensor’s calibrated length — this will degrade system accuracy.
- Protect connectors from contamination and mechanical damage during installation.
- Follow Bently Nevada installation guidelines for routing, bending radius, and grounding.
- Use only genuine Bently Nevada probes, cables, and Proximitor Sensors for proper system performance and warranty coverage.
- After installation, perform a system calibration check (gap voltage and linearity verification).
