The 330180-X1-05 MOD:161255-02 is a 3300 XL series preamplifier sensor manufactured by Bently Nevada. This model is the core electronic unit of the 3300 XL eddy current sensor system, and its most significant feature is the presence of the MOD modification code, indicating that the device has undergone special calibration for a specific target material.
One 3300 XL 8 mm probe
One 3300 XL extension cable
One 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor
The 3300 XL 8 mm system delivers the most advanced performance in our eddy current proximity transducer systems. The standard 3300 XL 8 mm 5-meter system also fully complies with the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) 670 Standard for mechanical configuration, linear range, accuracy, and temperature stability. All 3300 XL 8 mm proximity transducer systems provide this level of performance and support complete interchangeability of probes, extension cables, and Proximitor sensors, eliminating the need to match or bench calibrate individual components.Each 3300 XL 8 mm Transducer System component is backward compatible and interchangeable with other non XL 3300 series 5 mm and 8 mm transducer system components. This compatibility includes the 3300 5 mm probe, for applications in which an 8 mm probe is too large for the available mounting space.

Since MOD:161255-02 is custom-calibrated for a specific non-standard target material (such as a particular grade of stainless steel or alloy), it must never be used on standard 4140 steel or other mismatched shafts, as this will lead to significant measurement reading errors. During installation, ensure the total system length (probe plus extension cable) matches the Proximitor's design length, and mount it securely on a DIN rail to ensure proper grounding. Additionally, regularly verify the linear output accuracy on the target material and keep connectors dry and clean to prevent signal drift or reading errors caused by moisture.
It is a 3300 XL series Proximitor Sensor manufactured by Bently Nevada with a specific MOD (Modification/Calibration) code, used for non-contact displacement monitoring.
What is the primary function of 330180-X1-05 MOD:161255-02?
As the system core, it converts gap changes sensed by the eddy current probe into proportional voltage signals (typically for vibration or displacement).
Why use a Proximitor with a MOD code like 330180-X1-05 MOD:161255-02?
Standard Proximitors are calibrated for 4140 steel, if the target shaft material differs, a MOD version is required to ensure accurate readings.
What is the temperature performance of 330180-X1-05 MOD:161255-02?
Its operating temperature range is typically -51°C to +100°C.
Which probe specifications were used in MOD 161255-02 330180-X1-05?
It is typically used with 3300 XL 8mm or 5mm probes.
