Selection Guide
Use the following parameters to confirm the correct NSv probe part number for your application:
- Tip Diameter: 5 mm (330903-xx) or 8 mm (330905-xx) — choose based on shaft diameter and available mounting space.
- Cable Length: Encoded in positions 5–6 of the part number (e.g., -02- = 2 m, -09- = 9 m, -15- = 15 m). Total system cable = probe cable + extension cable ≤ system maximum.
- Connector Style: Position 7 of the part number (-02- = standard MIL connector). Armored cable options available for high-vibration installations.
- Temperature Rating: Standard (-35°C to +177°C) covers most applications; consult Konmask for high-temperature variants.
- Hazardous Area: Confirm ATEX/IECEx zone classification and select intrinsically safe (IS) certified variant if required.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a 330905 (8mm) probe as a replacement for the 330903 (5mm)?
A: Only if the mounting bore and target gap can accommodate the larger tip. The 8mm probe has a wider linear range but requires a different Proximitor® sensor. Not a direct drop-in replacement.
Q: Is the 330903-00-02-10-02-00 compatible with the Bently Nevada 3500 system?
A: Yes, when paired with the correct 3500/42M or 3500/40M monitor card and a matched Proximitor® sensor.
Q: Can third-party probes be used with Bently Nevada Proximitor® sensors?
A: Some OEM-compatible probes are electrically compatible, but system accuracy and API 670 compliance may be affected. Always validate with a calibration check before commissioning.
Q: What is the difference between NSv and standard 3300 XL probes?
A: NSv (Non-contacting vibration) probes use an improved eddy-current design with tighter manufacturing tolerances, resulting in better linearity and temperature stability compared to earlier 3300 XL generations.
Q: Do you provide calibration certificates?
A: Yes. OEM calibration certificates are available for new units. For refurbished stock, Konmask can arrange third-party calibration upon request.
