Megger MPAC208-IECEx Professional Acoustic Imaging Camera

The Megger MPAC208 IECEx Professional Acoustic Imaging Camera delivers all the advanced ultrasonic detection capabilities of the standard MPAC208, with added certification for use in Class 2 explosive atmospheres. It is designed for industrial sites where acoustic imaging, gas leak detection, and electrical inspection must be performed safely in hazardous environments.

Ideal for oil and gas facilities, petrochemical plants, process industries, utilities, energy sites, and hazardous-area maintenance teams, the MPAC208-IECEx provides fast visual detection of gas leaks, partial discharge, mechanical faults, and ultrasonic anomalies without interrupting operations.

At the core of the MPAC208-IECEx is a 208-channel MEMS microphone array, capable of detecting ultrasonic sound across 2 kHz to 100 kHz. This high sensitivity allows the camera to identify small leaks, early mechanical wear, and developing partial discharge activity before they become serious failures.

The system combines acoustic information with a 13 MP optical camera and displays real-time sound images on an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen. This gives operators a clear visual overlay of sound sources, making it easier to locate faults, document findings, and take corrective action.

Certified Acoustic Imaging for Hazardous Areas

The MPAC208-IECEx is specifically suited for locations where explosive atmospheres may be present and where safe inspection equipment is essential. It provides the same powerful diagnostic workflow as the standard MPAC208 while adding the required certification for use in designated hazardous areas.

This makes it especially valuable for detecting gas leaks and ultrasonic faults in environments where early detection can improve safety, reduce downtime, and prevent costly failures.

Three Operating Modes for Advanced Fault Detection

Gas Leak Mode

Automatically estimates leak rate, distance to source, and cost impact, helping teams prioritise hazardous gas leak repairs and improve energy efficiency.

Partial Discharge Mode

Captures PD activity and provides PRPD analysis, supporting early detection and classification of partial discharge types in high-voltage electrical assets.

Mechanical Mode

Detects ultrasonic patterns associated with bearing wear, valve leakage, cavitation, vibration-related deterioration, and other mechanical faults.

Optional Thermal Correlation

When fitted with the optional thermal imaging module, the MPAC208-IECEx enables side-by-side acoustic and thermal inspection. This helps users compare temperature changes with ultrasonic activity for more accurate fault diagnosis and root cause analysis.

Built for Industrial Field Use

The Megger MPAC208-IECEx is designed for real-world industrial inspection conditions. It weighs only 1.4 kg, features an IP54 rating, and is powered by interchangeable smart batteries. With two 5-hour battery packs included, users can achieve up to 10 hours of operation during field inspections.

Camera Verification with MPAC-V

For ongoing confidence in measurement performance, the optional MPAC-V verification accessory allows field verification of MPAC camera operating parameters. The automated routine checks frequency response, SPL measurement, and visual microphone location calibration to help maintain accurate and dependable acoustic imaging results.
