System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330904-00-20-05-01-00 operates as part of a three-component eddy-current system:
- Proximity Probe (330904) — Generates an electromagnetic field; detects gap change to rotating shaft target
- Extension Cable — Transmits the oscillator/demodulator signal with minimal loss over the specified cable length
- Proximitor® Driver — Conditions the raw signal into a calibrated DC voltage output proportional to gap distance
The output voltage (–2 V to –18 V) is fed directly to the 3300 XL monitor rack input card, which performs alarm setpoint comparison, buffered output, and communication to the plant DCS or historian via System 1 Evolution software.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is 330904-00-20-05-01-00 compatible with the 3300 XL 8mm system?
A: No. The 330904 series is a 5 mm probe system. For 8 mm applications, refer to the 330780 or 330900 series. Always match probe, cable, and driver as a calibrated set.
Q: Can this transducer be used with non-Bently Nevada monitors?
A: The output signal (–2 V to –18 V DC, 200 mV/mil scale factor) is industry-standard and compatible with most third-party vibration monitors that accept eddy-current transducer inputs. Verify input impedance and supply voltage requirements before installation.
Q: What is the recommended gap setting?
A: The nominal installation gap is 1.0 mm (40 mil), placing the output at approximately –10 VDC at the midpoint of the linear range. Refer to Bently Nevada Installation Manual 141078 for detailed gap-setting procedures.
Q: Do you provide calibration certificates?
A: Yes. Factory calibration data and, where available, third-party calibration certificates can be provided. Contact us at the time of order to specify documentation requirements.
Q: What is the lead time for this part?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For large quantities or expedited requirements, contact support@konmask.com for availability confirmation.
