Bently Nevada 330145-14 | 3300 XL Test Plug Adapter | 14-inch Cable for Proximitor Sensor Testing

Product Description

The Bently Nevada 330145-14 is a specialized Test Plug Adapter designed for use with the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor system. It is part of the 3300 XL series accessory line and provides maintenance technicians with a non-intrusive method for diagnosing and verifying the performance of the Proximitor sensor without the need to disconnect or disturb the permanent field wiring.

This adapter allows users to connect external test equipment (such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, or the TK-3 Proximity System Test Kit) directly to the Proximitor sensor's output. The "-14" suffix specifically indicates a 14-inch cable length or a specific connector configuration, making it compatible with the test port of the 3300 XL Proximitor sensor.

Key Features

• Non-Intrusive Testing: Allows for testing the "Gap Voltage" and dynamic vibration signals while the machinery is running and the protection system remains active. This reduces downtime and ensures continuous operation.

• Gold-Plated Contacts: Provides low-resistance connections, ensuring accurate low-voltage vibration readings, essential for precise diagnostics.

• Integrated Safety: Designed with safety in mind, it prevents accidental shorting of the -24Vdc power supply to the signal output during testing.

• Portable Design: Lightweight and flexible, this adapter is perfect for inclusion in suitcase diagnostic kits used by field technicians, making it easy to carry and deploy on-site.

Technical Specifications

How to Use

1. Locate the Test Port: On a 3300 XL Proximitor, find the small test port (often covered by a rubber plug).

2. Insert the Adapter: Plug the 3-pin end of the 330145-14 into the test port of the Proximitor sensor.

3. Measure Gap Voltage: Connect a digital multimeter to the banana plugs to measure the Gap Voltage. For an 8mm system, the standard reading is typically -9.0 Vdc at the center of the linear range.

4. Analyze Vibration: Connect an oscilloscope or data collector to the other set of banana plugs to analyze the AC signal, which represents the actual mechanical vibration of the system.

FAQ

Q: What is the primary function of the 330145-14 Test Plug Adapter?
A: The 330145-14 adapter allows for non-intrusive testing of the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor system, enabling the measurement of Gap Voltage and vibration signals without disturbing the existing field wiring.
