330102-00-12-90-02-05 9m Armored Probe Bently Nevada

9-Meter Armored 8mm Probe with Full Hazardous Area Approvals

The Bently Nevada 330102-00-12-90-02-05 belongs to the trusted 3300 XL series. Made in U.S.A., we design this long-cable armored 8mm probe for accurate displacement and vibration measurements in remote monitoring applications requiring hazardous area certification. The flush zero-inch tip (0.0 in) allows threads to start immediately at the probe face. The 9.0 meter (29.5 feet) total length enables installation far from the proximitor. It carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approvals for explosive atmospheres worldwide. It features a 3/8-24 UNF thread for inch-series mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is special about 9-meter length?

This 9.0m probe works exclusively with 9 meter Proximitor sensors. Enables remote mounting far from monitoring location.

What approvals does this probe have?

This model carries CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. Suitable for hazardous areas worldwide.

What does flush mount mean?

Zero unthreaded tip means threads start immediately. Probe face sits at or near mounting surface.

Compatible with 3300 XL systems?

Yes. This 330102-00-12-90-02-05 works with Bently Nevada 3300 XL 9m Proximitor sensors.

What gap setting for vibration?

Set initial gap to -9 Vdc (approximately 1.27mm or 50 mils). This centers probe within linear range.
