The Bently Nevada 330180-50-00 is a high-performance 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor designed for integration with 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer systems. This module acts as the primary signal conditioner, converting eddy-current measurements from the probe into precise, calibrated voltage signals proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the target surface.
Features
Designed for continuous condition monitoring of rotating machinery including turbines, compressors, and pumps.
Features a 5.0-meter system length for flexible installation.
Advanced RFI/EMI immunity, allowing for installation in non-metallic housings without requiring special shielding.
Full interchangeability between components, eliminating the need for individual component matching or bench calibration.
Compact housing design supporting both DIN-rail and traditional panel mounting.
Backwards compatible with legacy 3300 series transducer components.
Applications
This sensor is essential for critical machinery protection, providing accurate data for:
Shaft vibration and radial position monitoring.
Axial thrust position and eccentricity measurements.
Differential expansion in turbomachinery.
Keyphasor measurements for speed and phase reference.

Installation Guidelines
Ensure the system is powered down before installing or removing the module from the rack or DIN-rail.
The mounting base provides electrical isolation; ensure the mounting surface is clean and properly grounded.
Maintain proper cable routing to prevent signal noise, although the 3300 XL design offers high immunity to radio frequency interference.
Verify that the total system length (probe + extension cable + Proximitor) matches the 5-meter calibration of this unit.
Use appropriate industrial-grade terminals for wiring connections to ensure long-term stability.
FAQ
What is the primary function of the 330180-50-00?
It acts as the signal conditioning interface for the 3300 XL transducer system, converting probe gap changes into a proportional voltage output for monitoring and protection systems.
Does this unit require calibration?
No, the 3300 XL system is designed for full interchangeability. Probes, extension cables, and sensors can be replaced without the need for individual bench calibration.
Can this sensor be used in high-density cabinets?
Yes, its physical design is optimized for both DIN-rail and panel mounting, making it suitable for high-density industrial control cabinet configurations.
