The 3300 XL NSv Proximity Transducer system is intended for
use with centrifugal air compressors, refrigeration
compressors, process gas compressors and other machines
with tight installation requirements. The 3300 XL NSv Proximity
Transducer System consists of:
l a 3300 NSv probe
l a 3300 NSv extension cable
l a 3300 XL NSv Proximitor Sensor
The primary uses for the 3300 XL NSv Transducer System are
for areas where counter bore, sideview or rearview restrictions
limit the use of standard Bently Nevada 3300 and 3300 XL 5
and 8 mm Transducer Systems. It is also ideal for small target
applications, such as measuring radial vibration on shafts
smaller than 51 mm (2 in) or axial position on flat targets
smaller than 15 mm (0.6 in). It is primarily used in the
following applications on fluid-filmed bearing machines
where a small shaft or reduced side-view is present:

l Radial vibration and radial position measurements
l Axial (thrust) position measurements
l Tachometer and zero speed measurements
l Phase reference (Keyphasor signals)
The 3300 XL NSv Transducer System design allows it to replace
both the 3300 RAM Transducer Systems and the 3000-series
or 7000-series 190 Transducer System. Upgrades from the
3300 RAM system to the 3300 XL NSv system may use the
existing probe, extension cable, and monitoring system with
3300 XL NSv Proximitor Sensor. Upgrades from the 3000-series
or 7000-series Transducer System must replace the probe,
extension cable and Proximitor Sensor with NSv components.
3300 XL NSv Proximity Transducer System
Datasheet147385 Rev. K
The 3300 XL NSv Transducer System has an
Average Scale Factor of 7.87 V/mm (200
mV/mil), which is the most common output for
eddy current transducers. Its enhanced sideview and small target characteristics give it a
shorter linear range than the Bently Nevada
3300 XL-series 5 and 8 mm Transducer System.
With The 1.5 mm (60 mils) of linear range
exceeds the linear range of the 3000-series 190
Transducer System.
Although the terminals and connector
on the Proximitor Sensor have
protection against electrostatic
discharge, take reasonable precautions
to avoid electrostatic discharge during
handling.
Proximitor Sensor
The 3300 XL NSv Proximitor Sensor has similar
features to those found in the 3300 XL 8 mm
Proximitor Sensor. Its thin design allows the
user to mount it in either a high-density DIN-rail
installation or a more traditional panel mount
configuration. Improved RFI/EMI immunity
allows the 3300 XL NSv Proximitor Sensor to
achieve European CE mark approvals without
any special mounting considerations. This RFI
immunity also prevents nearby high frequency
radio signals from adversely affecting the
transducer system. SpringLoc terminal strips
on the Proximitor Sensor require no special
installation tools and facilitate faster, highly
robust field wiring connections.
The 3300 NSv probe comes in varying probe
case configurations, including armored and
unarmored ¼ -28, 3⁄8 -24, M8 X 1 and M10 X 1
probe threads. The reverse mount 3300 NSv
probe comes standard with either 3⁄8 -24 or
M10 X 1 threads. All components of the
transducer system have gold-plated brass
ClickLocconnectors. ClickLoc connectors lock
into place and prevent the connection from
loosening. The patented TipLocmolding
method provides a robust bond between the
probe tip and the probe body. Bently Nevada’s
patented CableLocdesign provides 220 N (50
lb) of pull strength and securely attaches the
probe cable to the probe tip. Connector
protectors are recommended for use on the
probe-to-extension cable connection, as well
as on the cable-to-Proximitor Sensor
connection. Connector protectors prevent
most liquids from entering into the ClickLoc
connectors and adversely affecting the
electrical signal
Notes:
(1) ProximitorSensors are supplied by default
from the factory calibrated to AISI 4140 steel.
Calibration to other target materials is available
upon request.
(2) Silicone tape is also provided with each
3300 NSv extension cable and can be used
instead of connector protectors. Silicone tape
is not recommended in applications where the
probe-to-extension cable connection will be
exposed to turbine oil.

Proximity Probe and Extension
Cable
The 3300 NSv probe and extension cable are
mechanically and electrically compatible and
interchangeable with Bently Nevada’s previous
3300 RAM proximity probe and extension cable.
The NSv probe has increased chemical
resistance compared to the 3300 RAM probe,
which allows its use in many process
compressor applications. The side-view
characteristics of the 3300 NSv probe are also
superior to those of the 3000-series 190 probe
when gapping the 3300 NSv probe at the same
distance from the probe target.

Axial position measurements on

Measurements on shaft diameters
smaller than 30 mm (1.2 in) usually
require close spacing of radial

transducers. This creates the
potential for their electromagnetic
emitted fields to interact with one

custom design department if you
require a test of the pressure seal for
your application
It is the responsibility of the customer or user
to ensure that all liquids and gases are
contained and safely controlled should
leakage occur from a proximity probe. In
addition, solutions with high or low pH
values may erode the tip assembly of the
probe causing media leakage into
surrounding areas. Bently Nevada will not
be held responsible for any damages
resulting from leaking 3300 NSv Proximity
Probes. In addition, 3300 NSv Proximity
Probes will not be replaced under the service
plan due to probe leakage.
Exposing the probe to
temperatures below -34°C (30°F) for a sustained period
of time may cause premature
failure of the pressure seal.
