Engineering Advantages
- API 670 Compliant: Meets the 5th Edition standard for machinery protection systems — no derating or field modification required.
- High Thermal Stability: Calibrated scale factor maintained across the full –35°C to +177°C operating range, eliminating temperature-induced drift errors.
- Hermetic Seal: IP67-rated stainless steel housing resists process fluid ingress, steam condensate, and aggressive cleaning agents.
- Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Direct replacement for all 330904-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx variants within the 3300 NSv 8mm family — no recalibration of the proximitor required when gap is reset.
- Low Noise Floor: <25 mV RMS broadband noise, enabling detection of sub-micron shaft motion events.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 330904-09-17-05-01-05 operates as the sensing element in a three-component Bently Nevada eddy current system:
- Probe (330904-09-17-05-01-05) — generates the oscillating electromagnetic field and detects target proximity.
- Extension Cable (330130 series) — transmits the high-frequency signal with controlled impedance over distances up to 5 m.
- Proximitor Sensor (3300 XL 8mm) — conditions the signal, provides –24 VDC excitation, and outputs a calibrated –10 VDC analog signal to the monitor.
The analog output feeds directly into Bently Nevada 3500 Series rack monitors or third-party DCS/PLC inputs (4–20 mA via transducer card). No additional signal conditioning is required for standard API 670 installations.
Sourcing & Quality Verification
- Origin: Sourced from authorized Bently Nevada / Baker Hughes distribution channels and verified surplus with full traceability documentation.
- Inspection: Each unit undergoes incoming inspection including visual examination, connector integrity check, and impedance verification prior to shipment.
- Documentation: Certificate of conformance (CoC) and original manufacturer datasheet available upon request.
- Packaging: Ships in original or equivalent ESD-safe packaging with desiccant to prevent moisture ingress during transit.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is this probe interchangeable with the 330903 (5mm) series?
A: No. The 330904 is an 8mm probe and requires an 8mm-rated proximitor and extension cable. Mixing 5mm and 8mm components will result in incorrect scale factor and potential system fault.
Q: What gap voltage should I set during installation?
A: The recommended initial gap is 1.0 mm, yielding approximately –10.0 VDC at the proximitor output. Verify with a calibrated voltmeter before commissioning.
Q: Can this probe be used with non-Bently Nevada monitors?
A: Yes, provided the monitor accepts a –24 VDC-powered eddy current probe input and the scale factor (7.87 V/mm) is correctly configured. Consult your monitor manufacturer for compatibility.
Q: Do you offer calibration certificates?
A: Factory calibration data is embedded in the part number configuration. Third-party NIST-traceable calibration certificates can be arranged upon request at additional cost.
Q: What is the lead time for out-of-stock units?
A: Typical lead time for sourced units is 2–4 weeks. Contact us at support@konmask.com for real-time availability.
