System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 31000-28-05-50-050-03-02 housing assembly integrates within the Bently Nevada 3300 XL transducer chain as follows:
Probe Tip → Extension Cable (5.0 m) → Proximitor® Sensor → Monitor Module (3300/3500 Rack) → DCS / Safety System
The eddy-current probe generates a voltage signal proportional to the gap between the probe tip and the rotating shaft target. This signal is conditioned by the Proximitor® sensor and transmitted to the monitor module for real-time vibration analysis, alarm, and trip functions.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is this part compatible with the Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring rack?
A: Yes. The 3300 XL proximity transducer system is fully compatible with 3500 series monitor modules when used with the appropriate Proximitor® sensor.
Q: What is the recommended gap setting for this probe?
A: The standard gap is 1.27 mm (50 mil), yielding a nominal output of –10 VDC. Refer to BN installation manual for target-specific calibration.
Q: Can this probe be used on non-ferrous target materials?
A: The standard calibration is optimized for AISI 4140 steel. Non-standard target materials require field recalibration using the Bently Nevada calibration procedure.
