The CRY8125 ATEX Industrial Acoustic Imager represents a significant step forward in acoustic inspection technology for hazardous areas. Designed for use in ATEX Zone 2 explosive atmospheres, it builds on proven acoustic imaging principles while delivering meaningful advancements in sensitivity, usability, and inspection capability for modern industrial environments.
Acoustic imaging has become an essential tool for detecting pressurised gas leaks, vacuum leaks, and early-stage electrical faults without physical contact. The CRY8125 takes this capability further by combining a high-density microphone array with advanced signal processing, allowing sound to be visualised with greater clarity and precision, even in complex, noisy plant environments. This enables engineers to locate issues faster, from safer distances, and with increased confidence in the results.
One of the most noticeable improvements is performance. With a 200-microphone MEMS array and an extended frequency range up to 100 kHz, the CRY8125 delivers higher acoustic sensitivity and improved detection of smaller leaks and partial discharge activity at greater distances. This directly supports earlier fault identification, helping teams move from reactive maintenance towards a more predictive, condition-based approach.
The CRY8125 also reflects how inspection workflows have evolved. A large 8-inch sunlight-readable touchscreen provides a clear, intuitive view of acoustic images on site, while integrated leak rate measurement and loss estimation help engineers immediately understand the severity and cost impact of a detected issue. For electrical inspections, partial discharge localisation and classification tools support informed decision-making before failures develop.
Designed for demanding industrial use, the camera remains lightweight and ergonomic, supporting comfortable single-handed operation during extended inspections. Replaceable smart batteries allow a full day’s work without downtime, while built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enable safer, cable-free operation and straightforward data transfer for reporting and analysis.
Certified ATEX and IECEx for Zone 2, the CRY8125 is well suited to oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, power generation sites, and energy infrastructure where safety, accuracy, and efficiency are non-negotiable.
For organisations already relying on acoustic imaging as part of their maintenance strategy, the CRY8125 represents a clear progression: higher performance, better usability, and inspection data that is easier to act on. It is a modern acoustic imaging tool designed for the realities of today’s hazardous area inspections.
