3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Transducer System Introduction

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:

1. a 3300 NSv probe

2. a 3300 NSv extension cable

3. a 3300 XL NSv Proximitor Sensor(1)

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:

1. Radial vibration and radial position measurements

2. Axial (thrust) position measurements

3. Tachometer and zero speed measurements

4. 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 ProximitorSensor with NSv components.
