Bentley 330100-90-05 Product Description

I. Product Overview

The Bentley 330100-90-05 is a signal conditioning unit of the Bently Nevada 3300 XL series eddy current preamplifier (Proximitor Sensor) under Baker Hughes. It is designed for the 8mm probe and complies with API 670 standards. It is the core component of the rotating machinery condition monitoring system. It provides high-frequency excitation current to the probe and linearly converts the impedance changes detected by the probe into negative voltage analog signals for measuring shaft vibration, axial displacement, eccentricity, and keyway signals. It is widely used in online monitoring and protection of key equipment such as steam turbines, compressors, and generators in the power, petrochemical, and metallurgical industries.

II. Model Code Interpretation

330100: Basic model, representing the 3300 XL series standard eddy current preamplifier, suitable for 8mm probe systems.

90: The total cable length of the system is 9.0 meters (including probe cable + extension cable), suitable for long-distance signal transmission scenarios.

05: Multi-certification version, with multiple country compliance certifications such as CE and UL, suitable for use in most industrial regions worldwide.

III. Working Principle

The oscillator inside the preamplifier supplies high-frequency alternating current to the probe coil. When the probe is close to the metal rotor, the rotor surface generates eddy currents and changes the coil impedance. The preamplifier detects this impedance change, undergoes signal conditioning and linearization processing, and outputs a negative voltage signal proportional to the probe - rotor clearance, which is used for subsequent monitoring equipment to collect and analyze. Non-contact measurement is not affected by oil stains, moisture, and dust, and can operate stably for a long time.

Inspection： Regularly check the tightness of connectors， cable damage， and abnormal environmental temperatures.

Cleaning： Keep the surface of the preamplifier clean to avoid dust accumulation affecting heat dissipation.

Nine. Usage Precautions

Do not use beyond temperature and pressure limits， avoid severe vibration and impact.

Non-explosion-proof design， do not use in flammable and explosive areas.

Must use original factory-provided probes and extension cables. Mixing non-original accessories may lead to measurement inaccuracy or failure. 

Avoid excessive bending of the cable， the minimum bending radius is not less than 5 times the diameter of the cable to prevent damage to the internal core wires.
