Installation & Setup Guide

• Clean the mounting hole thoroughly before installation.
• Screw in the probe by hand initially to avoid cross-threading.
• Use a calibrated torque wrench. Tighten to the recommended 15.2 N•m.
• Do not exceed maximum thread engagement length.
• Route the cable carefully. Avoid sharp bends near the probe.
• Connect the ClickLoc connector securely until it clicks.
• For system setup, always refer to the primary monitor manual.

Maintenance & Diagnostics

• Ease of Maintenance: Modular design allows for simple probe replacement without recalibrating the entire system in many cases.
• Diagnostic Capability: When used with a 3300 monitor, system diagnostics can identify probe/cable faults (e.g., gap voltage, OK checks).
• Regularly inspect the cable jacket and connector for physical damage.
• Verify probe resistance (≈5.9Ω) during troubleshooting with a multimeter.
• Store spare probes within the specified temperature range.

Typical Applications

• Radial vibration measurement on turbine and compressor shafts.
• Axial position (thrust) monitoring on rotating equipment.
• Keyphasor® timing reference signal generation.
• Condition monitoring in oil & gas, power generation, and heavy industries.
• Critical machinery protection systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

General & Technical

Q: What is the main purpose of this probe?

A: It measures small changes in distance (vibration/position) of a metal shaft relative to the probe tip.

Q: Can I use this probe with a non-Bently Nevada system?

A: Not recommended. Performance requires matching to a compatible oscillator/demodulator.

Q: What does the “11 mm” refer to?

A: It is the diameter of the probe’s sensing tip.

Selection & Purchasing

Q: How do I choose the correct probe length?

A: Consider the mounting depth, required thread engagement, and necessary standoff from the casing. This model (3.0″ case, 0.0″ unthreaded) suits standard applications.

Q: What if I need a longer cable?

A: This specific part number includes a 1m cable. For 5m or 9m cables, you need a different suffix (e.g., -50 or -90).

Expert Tips

Q: What’s a common installation mistake?

A: Overtightening. This can damage threads or the probe body. Always use a torque wrench.

Q: Why does my new probe read incorrectly?

A: First, check the gap between the probe tip and the target shaft. Ensure it is set to the system’s required installation gap (e.g., 1.0 mm / 40 mils).

Buying Guidance

• Confirm your monitor system model is a Bently Nevada 3300 XL series.
• Verify the required thread size and probe length for your machinery’s mounting hole.
• Check the needed cable length from the probe to the junction box.
• For hazardous areas, ensure the approval option (05) meets your site requirements.
