330102-00-80-10-11-00 8mm FluidLoc Probe Bently Nevada

FluidLoc Armored 8mm Probe for Wet Environments

The Bently Nevada 330102-00-80-10-11-00 belongs to the trusted 3300 XL series. We design this specialized armored 8mm probe for accurate displacement and vibration measurements in wet environments where fluid ingress is a concern. The flush zero-inch tip (0.0 in) allows threads to start immediately at the probe face. The 8.0 inch (203mm) overall case length provides extended reach for deeper installations. It features a 3/8-24 UNF thread for inch-series mounting.

Environmental and Operating Ranges

• Temperature (Standard): Operates and stores from -52°C to +177°C (-62°F to +350°F).
• Temperature (Extended): Probe tip reaches -52°C to +218°C (-62°F to +425°F). Cable and connector handle up to +260°C.
• Humidity: Average Scale Factor changes less than 3% after 56 days in 93% humidity.
• Pressure Seal: Uses Viton® O-ring to seal differential pressure between tip and case.
• Armor Protection: Cable armor resists mechanical damage in high-wear installations.
• FluidLoc Technology: Specialized cable construction resists fluid ingress for enhanced reliability in wet environments.
• Connector Protector: Added protection keeps ClickLoc connection secure in harsh conditions.

Installation and Mounting Guide

• Thread Engagement: Maximum thread engagement length is 0.563 inch (14.3 mm) for 3/8-24 UNF case thread.
• Torque (Forward Mount): Recommended torque is 11.2 N•m (100 in•lbf). Maximum rated torque is 33.9 N•m.
• Torque (First Three Threads): Use recommended torque of 7.5 N•m (66 in•lbf). Do not exceed 22.6 N•m.
• Field Wiring: Use 16-24 AWG wire. Maximum extension cable length is 305 meters (1,000 feet).
• Temperature Note: Avoid exposing probe below -34°C (-30°F) to protect pressure seal.
• Inch Series Thread: The 3/8-24 UNF thread suits North American and inch-system mounting requirements.
• Flush Mount Design: Zero tip length allows probe face to sit at or near mounting surface.
• Wet Environment: FluidLoc cable specifically designed for oil, coolant, and moisture-prone areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes FluidLoc cable different?

FluidLoc resists fluid migration along the cable. Prevents oil, water, or coolant from reaching connection points.

What is the 8.0 inch case length for?

Extended 8.0 inch case reaches deep into large machine casings and bearing housings.

What approvals does this probe have?

Option 00 means no hazardous area certifications. Suitable for general industrial environments without explosion risk.

Compatible with 3300 XL systems?

Yes. This 330102-00-80-10-11-00 works with all Bently Nevada 3300 XL proximitors and monitors.

What gap setting for vibration?

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