Take Acoustic Imaging Into Explosive Zones

The CRY8125 is an ATEX acoustic camera. It’s fully IECEx and ATEX certified, which means it’s safe to use in environments with explosive gas or dust. That single upgrade takes this camera into oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries where safety certification is a legal requirement.

What Is an ATEX Acoustic Camera — and Why Does It Matter?

In high-risk industries, there’s no compromise. If equipment isn’t certified, it doesn’t get on site.

That’s where the CRY8125 stands out. As a certified ATEX acoustic camera, it meets strict international safety standards, including IEC 60079-0 and IEC 60079-11. It’s been TÜV tested and approved to operate in some of the harshest industrial conditions, including:

  • 28 days at 90°C and 90% humidity

  • Temperatures as low as -25°C

  • 1.2 meter drop tests

  • Explosive gas and dust environments

Despite all that, it still maintains an IP54 rating. You’re getting a rugged, reliable tool built for tough jobs.

What Does the CRY8125 ATEX Acoustic Camera Do?

The CRY8125 detects faults in noisy, industrial environments. It uses advanced microphones and real-time processing to detect ultrasonic sound — signals too high-pitched for the human ear. This includes:

  • Gas leaks

  • Electrical partial discharge

  • Mechanical looseness or wear

For example, a small gas leak produces a high-frequency hiss around 60kHz. The ATEX acoustic camera locks onto that frequency, filters out background noise, and shows the leak visually — even from up to 200 metres away.

Why Use an Acoustic Camera?

Compared to traditional leak detection methods like soap and water or handheld gas sniffers, the CRY8125 is:

  • Faster – Scan large areas in seconds

  • Safer – Spot leaks from a distance

  • More efficient – No downtime, no shutdowns, no climbing

With intuitive controls and an onboard touchscreen for analysis and reporting, it’s designed for quick routine checks and ongoing maintenance.

Key Features

  • ATEX and IECEx Certified
    Safe to use directly in Zone 2 gas and dust environments.

  • Long-Range Detection
    Identify leaks as small as 0.003L/min from 10 meters away.

  • Battery Swappable for 10 Hours of Use
    Two included smart batteries keep you running in the field.

  • All-in-One Reporting
    Capture, analyse, and export reports on-site using the touchscreen interface.

Who Needs an ATEX Acoustic Camera?

If your job takes you into explosive environments, this camera is built for you. It’s ideal for:

  • Gas processing facilities

  • Offshore oil and gas platforms

  • Petrochemical plants

  • Refineries

  • Gas-fired power stations

If you don’t require certification, the CRY8124 — the non-ATEX version — is still an excellent option. But for certified zones, the CRY8125 is the safer, smarter choice.

In Summary

The CRY8125 brings advanced acoustic imaging into places where most equipment can’t go. As an ATEX acoustic camera, it gives you a safe, fast, and accurate way to locate dangerous leaks before they escalate — all without compromising safety or speed.
