Bently Nevada 330190-045-01-CN 3300 XL ETR Extension Cable

The Bently Nevada 330190-045-01-CN is a 4.0 meters (11.5 feet) extension cable designed as part of the 3300 XL ETR (Extended Temperature Range) Proximity Transducer System. Engineered by Bently Nevada, a GE brand, this cable is tailored for use in extremely high-temperature and harsh industrial environments, such as turbine decks, compressor stations, and offshore oil platforms.

The “01-CN” suffix indicates that this variant is regionally manufactured and tested according to specifications applicable to Chinese industrial requirements and standards, while still retaining full compatibility with global 3300 XL ETR systems.

This cable provides a secure and interference-free link between the proximity probe and the associated Proximitor® sensor, ensuring highly accurate vibration and displacement measurements even under continuous mechanical and thermal stress.

Product Specifications

Product Applications

The 330190-045-01-CN cable is deployed across a wide range of industries for real-time machinery condition monitoring and critical asset protection. Typical application environments include:

• Gas and Steam Turbines

• Extended installations where Proximitor® sensors are placed far from the probe

• Environments with wide temperature fluctuations

• Monitoring systems that need to conform to API 670 or similar compliance frameworks

Product Advantages

• Extreme Temperature Endurance: Rated for continuous operation from -55°C to +200°C, ideal for high-temperature turbine decks and process plants.

• Pre-Terminated for Accuracy: Factory-assembled connectors ensure proper shielding and impedance matching, reducing field errors.

• EMI Protection: Full-length braided shielding protects analog signals from electrical interference in high-noise environments.

• Regional Customization: The “01-CN” version meets localized manufacturing and certification standards without sacrificing global compatibility.

• High Reliability: Delivers consistent signal integrity over long distances and under continuous mechanical stress.

• Flexible Installation: Cable routing is easy and secure within conduits or structured cable trays.

• Zero Maintenance: Once installed correctly, this cable performs reliably over years with little to no intervention.

• Certified for Critical Assets: Supports vibration protection in accordance with international standards like API 670.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What makes the 330190-045-01-CN different from the standard 330190-045-00-00 model?

The “01-CN” version is manufactured for the Chinese market and adheres to regional standards while maintaining functional parity with the global version.

2. Is this extension cable compatible with all Bently Nevada proximity probes?

It is compatible with XL ETR-series probes and Proximitor® sensors from the 3300 XL family.

3. Can the cable be installed in high-vibration zones?

Yes. Its PTFE insulation and braided shielding make it suitable for high-vibration, high-heat environments.

4. Can the cable be spliced or extended in the field?

No. It comes pre-terminated and should not be altered in the field to preserve shielding and signal integrity.

5. What certifications does the 01-CN variant meet?

It is API 670 compliant, CE marked, and certified for use in Chinese industrial environments.

6. What is the maximum cable length supported by the system?

Cable lengths up to 50 feet are supported without signal degradation in the 3300 XL ETR system.

7. Does this cable need regular inspection?

No, but it is recommended to visually inspect it annually for physical damage or degradation in extreme environments.

8. How is this cable secured during installation?

It is routed through conduits or secured with cable clamps in trays or along support rails.

9. Is the cable flame-retardant?

Yes. The PTFE jacket and insulation system are resistant to fire and chemical exposure.

10. Where is this cable typically used?

It is widely used in rotating machinery installations like turbines, compressors, and marine propulsion systems across Asia-Pacific industries.
