Description
When configuring a machinery protection system for high-speed turbomachinery, mismatched probe-to-sensor loops can cause crippling calibration drift. The Bently Nevada 330103-00-06-05-01-05 is a 3300 XL 5mm Proximitor Sensor engineered to condition the RF signals from a proximity probe, translating shaft vibration and axial position changes into a highly accurate, linear voltage output. This specific model line is ideal for fluid-film bearing housings where small target footprints constrain the use of larger 8mm probe systems.
We maintain this exact configuration in our inventory, fully prepared for immediate international dispatch.

Field Operational Insights & Installation Rules
Don’t let the “-06” (0.5 meter) configuration catch your installation crew off guard. This Proximitor is calibrated exclusively for a 0.5-meter total loop length. This means you cannot run a standard 5.0-meter extension cable back to the junction box. The combined length of the proximity probe and its extension cable must equal exactly 0.5 meters (typically achieved with an unthreaded short probe connected directly to the Proximitor inside a machine-mounted enclosure). If you attach a 5-meter hardware setup to this sensor, your scale factor will drift wildly away from the nominal 200 mV/mil specification.
The “-01” suffix guarantees intrinsic safety approvals. When wiring this module within a classified hazardous area, ensure that the ClickLoc coaxial connector remains completely free of moisture. This design choice is actually quite clever—the coaxial shielding on the housing is electrically isolated from the aluminum chassis casing, which prevents stray ground currents from introducing high-frequency noise into your 3500 rack monitor. To be frank, if you notice erratic voltage spikes on commissioning, check for proper shield isolation at the terminal strip first.
Global Trade, Shipping, and Customs Compliance
Global trade done right creates competitive advantage. Moving critical monitoring instrumentation requires flawless regulatory documentation to bypass border holds.
- HS Code Classification: This product falls under HS Code 9031.80.80 (Other measuring or checking instruments, appliances, and machines).
- Export Control & Trade Laws: Because these instruments are deployed on high-value power generation and petrochemical machinery, they are cross-screened against global denied-parties databases. The asset carries an EAR99 rating under global trade controls.
- Incoterms & Freight Handlers: Standard transactions are processed under EXW (Ex Works) or CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid) terms. Our logistics desk relies on DHL Express, FedEx, and UPS to streamline clearances through international customs hubs with precise weights provided in kg.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I connect an 8mm 3300 XL probe to this 5mm Proximitor?
No. The 5mm Proximitor uses a distinct target-size calibration curve and RF frequency profile that differs from the standard 3300 XL 8mm series. Attempting to mix an 8mm probe with a 5mm sensor will yield completely unusable, non-linear voltage readings. Always match 5mm sensors with 5mm probes.
What happens if my probe and cable combined measure 1.0 meter instead of 0.5 meters?
Well, technically the sensor will still output a voltage, but your calibration scale factor will be corrupted. You will no longer get the correct 200 mV/mil reading, which means your monitor rack will display false vibration levels and could cause an unwanted plant trip. Always match a “-06” sensor with a 0.5-meter hardware loop.
