ITE.860EX Explosion Proof Thermal Acoustic Imager

The ITE.860EX is an explosion-proof thermal acoustic imaging system designed for industrial plants, chemical facilities, refineries, and hazardous gas environments.
With 124 MEMS microphones, a wide 70° acoustic field of view, and advanced gas-leak/vibration detection algorithms, it visualizes ultrasonic and audible sound signatures in real time while simultaneously recording photo and video evidence.

Engineered for operators working in flammable or explosive environments, the ITE.860EX enables safe, fast, non-contact detection of gas leaks, partial discharge, mechanical faults, and valve/pipeline integrity issues.

Key Features

  • 124 MEMS microphones for real-time leak & vibration visualization

  • Gas leak localization + vibration source localization

  • One-handed operation, lightweight, field-ready

  • 2× zoom for enhanced visualization of abnormal areas

  • Real-time display of leak points & vibration hotspots

  • Intelligent software automatically estimates leak & vibration intensity

  • Full ultrasonic + audible band: 2 kHz – 65 kHz

  • Detection distance: 0.3 m – 100 m

  • Built-in photo and video recording

How It Works / Overview

Purpose in Chemical & Industrial Plants

The datasheet highlights that the chemical industry contains aging pipelines, valves, and high-risk equipment—making early detection of leaks and vibration faults critical for safety and product quality.

Why Acoustic Imaging is Effective

According to page 1, the ITE.860EX can detect:

  • Partial discharge in electrical equipment

  • Gas leaks in pipe systems

  • Abnormal vibration in mechanical systems
    Because the process is fully visualized, operators cannot “miss” a leak point.

Identifying Defects

If pipelines and valves are properly sealed, no concentrated leak signals will appear on the imager.
If clusters of acoustic hotspots appear, it indicates leakage requiring maintenance — multiple points indicate a serious hazard requiring shutdown.

Inspection Precautions

  • Limit external noise to avoid mis-positioning

  • Enable multi-point positioning mode

  • Maintain safe distance and follow plant safety rules
