The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor incorporates numerous improvements over previous designs. Its physical packaging allows you to use it in high-density DIN-rail installations. You can also mount the sensor in a traditional panel mount configuration, where it shares an identical 4-hole mounting “footprint” with older Proximitor Sensor designs. The mounting base for either option provides electrical isolation and eliminates the need for separate isolator plates. The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor is highly immune to radio frequency interference, allowing you to install it in fiberglass housings without adverse effects from nearby radio frequency signals. The 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor’s improved RFI/EMI immunity satisfies European CE mark approvals without requiring special shielded conduit or metallic housings, resulting in lower installation costs and complexity. The 3300 XL’s SpringLoc terminal strips require no special installation tools and facilitate faster, more robust field wiring connections by eliminating screw-type clamping mechanisms that can loosen.
Bently Nevada 330180-12-05 Proximitor Sensor is a preamplifier (Proximitor) in the 3300 XL series of eddy current sensor systems. It is mainly used for vibration and displacement monitoring, and features anti-radiation interference, flexible installation, and strong compatibility. Here is a detailed introduction about this sensor:
I. Product Features
Strong anti-radiation interference capability: The 330180-12-05 Proximitor Sensor has a strong ability to resist radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI). It can be installed in a fiberglass housing without being adversely affected by nearby radio frequency signals. Its improved RFI/EMI resistance meets the European CE marking certification, and no special shielding conduits or metal enclosures are required, thereby reducing installation costs and complexity.
Flexible installation: This sensor supports multiple installation methods, including panel installation and DIN rail installation. The installation substrates for both installation methods are electrically insulated and do not require separate insulating boards.
High compatibility: The 330180-12-05 Proximitor Sensor can be used in conjunction with 5mm and 8mm electromagnetic induction probes from the 3300 XL series and extension cables to form a complete sensor system. At the same time, it is also backward compatible with other non-3300 XL series sensor system components, enhancing the flexibility and scalability of the system.

Technical Specifications
Power Supply Voltage: The variation range of the power supply voltage for the preamplifier is 17.5VDC to 26.5VDC. The recommended power supply voltage is 24VDC.
Output Resistance: 50Ω. Temperature range:
Operating temperature: -35℃ to +85℃.
Storage temperature: -35℃ to +100℃.
Linear range: For an 8mm probe, the linear range is typically 2mm (80mi/s), starting from a distance of approximately 0.25mm (10mi/s) from the measurement target surface, with a gap setting of 1.27mm.
Frequency response: 0 to 10KHZ, typical value +0 to -3Db (305m field connection).

Application scenario
Bently Nevada 330180-12-05 Proximitor Sensor is widely used for vibration and displacement monitoring in industrial machinery, including but not limited to the following fields:
Rotating machinery monitoring: Monitoring of vibration and displacement for rotating machinery such as steam turbines, compressors, fans, pumps, etc.
Mechanical protection: As part of the mechanical protection system, it continuously monitors the operating status of mechanical equipment. When the monitored parameters exceed the preset threshold, it can trigger an alarm or shutdown signal to protect the equipment safety.
Predictive maintenance: By long-term monitoring of the vibration and displacement data of mechanical equipment, analyzing the operation trend of the equipment, it helps users formulate reasonable maintenance plans, detect potential faults in advance, reduce unplanned downtime, and lower maintenance costs.
