Detailed Overview
The Sorama CAM iV64Ex is designed to detect even the smallest unwanted emissions (leaks) in hazardous environments, aswell as detecting early anomalies in mechanical systems and high voltage systems (partial discharge). Powerful A.I. onboard computing enables you to check the mechanical health of any operating system. Offering on board computing results in faster than traditional ways of performing (preventive) maintenance and/or inspections. The Sorama CAM iV64Ex reduces the time a service team is exposed in hazardous environments. Sorama offers storage and in depth analysis of the health status via the Sorama Portal, you can now monitor the performance and the trends of your industrial assets. In addition, the measurements and data output can be easily integrated in any customer ERP/MMS or in your safety & security system, via API.

Partial Discharge Inspection
On device partial discharge can be used to find and identify defects in High Voltage (HV) assets. Defects can include voids, gaps, splits, physical sharp points, imperfections or discharges in the open air on/within HV assets. The defect itself discharges as it is not able to insulate the voltage applied across it.
How this defect behaves over time can be made insightful with a phase-resolved partial discharge plot (PRPD). PRPD is a powerful tool used for analyzing and diagnosing PD activity within HV insulation systems.
Mechanical Inspection
On device mechanical inspection tools can be used to identify and detect early faults in machines and assets (faulty or worn-out bearings, pump cavitation, faulty or worn-out rollers etc) over time.
Train the device on healthy machines or assets so that faults that can occur over time can be detected in advance. This allows for preventive maintenance of equipment and assets in order to keep them running and prevent any costly unplanned downtime from unexpected equipment failure.
Primary Uses & Functions
An acoustic camera used for localizing and visualizing sound, primarily to find gas/air leaks and partial discharge in industrial systems. Its core function is to transform acoustic energy into a visual image overlay for maintenance and safety applications.

FAQ: Sorama CAM IV64EX – Acoustic Camera / Leak Detector
What is an Acoustic Camera?
It is a device that uses a large array of microphones (the “camera”) to locate sound sources (like leaks or partial discharge) and overlay the acoustic image onto a visual image.
What does “IV64EX” imply?
“64” refers to the number of microphones in the array, and “EX” indicates an Intrinsically Safe rating, suitable for use in hazardous areas (ATEX/IECEx Zones).
