$19,995

SonaVu+ is an acoustic imaging camera that visualizes sources of ultrasound to detect compressed air, gas, and vacuum leaks, electrical discharges and mechanical anomalies. It combines Digital MEMS, long distance ultrasound sensors with an optical camera allowing users to pinpoint defects easily and from a safe distance.

With the SonaVu InSights™ Reporting App, teams can document findings, prioritize repairs, and share wins; driving action that leads to measurable results.

Very quickly. SonaVu+ helps identify costly compressed air and gas leaks on day one—often uncovering thousands of dollars in wasted energy. Its ability to detect electrical faults and vacuum leaks adds even more value, making it a cost-saving tool across multiple departments. 

Yes. SonaVu+ is designed for fast adoption with minimal training. Its intuitive touchscreen interface and real-time visual feedback make it easy to understand and operate. The companion app, InSights™, simplifies data storage, analysis, and reporting. 

SonaVu+ detects compressed air and gas leaks, vacuum leaks, and electrical partial discharge events like corona, tracking, and arcing. Its acoustic imaging capability makes it easy to pinpoint issues from a safe distance, even in noisy environments.

Built for Hazardous Environments

In industries where flammable gases, vapors, or dust are present, safety can’t be compromised. Without ATEX certification, many inspection tools simply can’t be used, leaving critical assets unmonitored.

SonaVu+ ATEX is certified for use in Class I, Division 1 hazardous locations. That means you can safely detect leaks, partial discharge, and mechanical anomalies in explosive or flammable atmospheres, without compromising performance, accuracy or safety.

Unmatched Sensitivity & Range

With 112 digital MEMS microphones, SonaVu+ ATEX achieves a minimum detection rate of 0.02 bar (~0.29 psi) at flows down to 38 cc/min (~0.00134 cfm) from 1 meter, while also visualizing anomalies at long distances—combining precision with reach. 

Long-Distance Optical Camera with Zoom

A high-resolution optical camera paired with two-finger zoom delivers crisp imagery during inspections. This ensures clearer defect visualization and professional-quality reporting. 

On-Screen Spectrum & PRPD Charts

SonaVu+ ATEX displays real-time spectrum analysis and PRPD (Phase-Resolved Partial Discharge) charts, enhancing electrical inspections with deeper diagnostic clarity right on the screen. 

Heterodyned Audio Output with Bluetooth Connectivity

Convert ultrasound into audible sound and stream it to Bluetooth headphones for real-time audio feedback. Inspectors can both see and hear anomalies, improving confidence in every diagnosis. 

ATEX Certification

Certified for Class I, Division 1 hazardous environments, SonaVu+ ATEX enables safe condition monitoring in explosive or flammable atmospheres—bringing visibility into zones where other tools can’t operate. 

5-Hour Battery Life

A rechargeable power system provides up to 5 hours of continuous operation, allowing inspectors to complete long surveys without disruption. 

Multi-Point Defect Detection

The 112-microphone array scans a wide field of view, enabling SonaVu+ ATEX to detect and localize multiple leaks or discharges simultaneously, speeding up plant-wide surveys. 

InSights™ Reporting Integration

Seamlessly connected to the SonaVu InSights™ app, inspections are instantly documented with images and video. Teams can prioritize repairs, prove ROI, and share results with ease. 

Acoustic Imaging Applications 

Safely locate compressed gas leaks, fugitive emissions, and partial discharge in refineries, pipelines, and offshore platforms, without shutting down production. 

Monitor hazardous areas for leaks and electrical faults in environments where safety and compliance are critical. 

Detect partial discharge in switchgear and substations, or mechanical anomalies in rotating equipment, while keeping personnel at a safe distance. 

Maintain sterile, compliant environments by quickly identifying compressed air and vacuum leaks that waste energy and compromise quality. 

Reduce energy losses and downtime by spotting leaks and equipment defects across large plants and complex systems. 

Operate with confidence in harsh, hazardous conditions where continuous uptime and worker safety are non-negotiable.

Aligning with NFPA 70B Standards

The NFPA70B Standard for Electrical Maintenance emphasizes proactive inspections on electrical systems and infrastructure to prevent failures, reduce risks, and extend the life of critical and expensive equipment. 

NFPA70B highlights ultrasonic imaging as a technology capable of carrying out inspections capable of detecting issues such as partial discharge, arcing, tracking, and corona discharge before they become safety risks or sources of major downtime. 

SonaVu+ ATEX is a safe, non-intrusive way to visualize ultrasound produced by electrical anomalies. The on-screen spectrum and PRPD give inspectors the additional diagnostic detail needed to document and act on findings in line with NFPA guidance. 

 

SonaVu InSights

SonaVu InSights™ is a powerful, browser-based application that seamlessly integrates with the SonaVu+ Acoustic Imaging Camera, serving as a central hub for ultrasound and acoustic imaging data. It enables maintenance and reliability teams to document findings, prioritize repairs, estimate cost impact, and generate instant reports for compressed air leak and electrical asset surveys. 

More than just a reporting tool, InSights™ empowers organizations to act—eliminating energy waste, reducing costs, and improving asset reliability. By transforming raw data into actionable insights, it helps teams make informed decisions, ensuring efficient and cost-effective maintenance strategies.
