Model Code Breakdown
330980 — Base part number identifying the device family and core sensor/housing design within the 3300 series.
-50 — Mechanical/configuration suffix: typically denotes housing or mounting style and probe-mechanical variant (mounting threads, boss style, probe tip options).
-05 — Electrical/termination suffix: typically indicates cable/connector/termination option or factory wiring variant.
Note: suffix meanings can map to multiple factory options. Always confirm exact feature definitions for a given suffix against the official Bently Nevada parts table or datasheet before ordering.
Installation Recommendations & Wiring Guide
Mounting: Install on a rigid, vibration-stable boss or bracket. Maintain the probe tip perpendicular to the monitored shaft and secure mechanical zero per the monitor during commissioning. Avoid flexible fasteners that permit movement.
Probe gap: Set probe-to-shaft clearance per OEM datasheet and calibrate zero with the 3300 monitor prior to run.
Cable routing: Use manufacturer‑recommended shielded, twisted‑pair cable; route separately from power/drive lines to minimize EMI. Provide drip loops and avoid sharp bends.
Shielding & grounding: Terminate cable shield at the monitoring end (single‑end ground) unless system documentation specifies otherwise. Follow plant grounding standards.
Connections: Follow Bently Nevada 3300 wiring diagrams for pinout, polarity and test points. Verify continuity and connector torque per spec.
EMC mitigation: Maintain separation from VFDs and welding equipment; use ferrite cores or additional shielding where high electrical noise is present.
Commissioning checks: Verify continuity, zero offset with shaft stationary, and signal integrity during run‑up/shutdown. Log baseline readings for trend comparison.
Safety: Observe lockout/tagout and site safety procedures during installation and maintenance.
