CRYSOUND CRY2623 Industrial Acoustic Imager

Product Information

The CRY2623 Industrial Acoustic Imager is a hand-held device that supports audible and ultrasonic frequencies. It utilizes microphone array beamforming technology to capture sound source distribution data and real-time high- definition video images. By integrating the sound source distribution data with the video image, it dynamically presents changing sound sources on the display screen.

The industrial acoustic imager is designed for use in noisy industrial environments to detect potential pressurized gas leaks, vacuum leaks, and identify potential partial discharge fault points in power systems. It is made of a strong and durable aluminum alloy shell that can withstand complex working environments.

The equipment is simple and convenient to operate, with only two parameters to adjust: the test frequency range and test dynamic range. It supports camera mode, video mode, and flexible data recording on the test site. The device has a large capacity TF data memory card for storage and allows for quick export and reporting of test results.

Product Usage Instructions

Ensure that the device is calibrated before initial use.
Calibration is recommended every two years for optimal performance.
To detect potential pressurized gas leaks or vacuum leaks, hold the industrial acoustic imager near the suspected area and observe the changing sound sources displayed on the screen.
In power systems, use the device to identify potential partial discharge fault points by scanning the relevant equipment and analyzing the displayed sound sources.
Adjust the test frequency range and test dynamic range according to the specific testing requirements. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on parameter adjustment.
Choose between camera mode and video mode based on the desired recording format. Use the data recording feature to capture relevant information during testing.
Make sure to expand the TF data memory card if additional storage capacity is needed.

Partial discharge spectrum

Click “partial discharge spectrum” to open the partial discharge spectrum setting menu.
Click “switch” to open and display the partial discharge spectrum. The AC frequency can be selected as 50Hz or 60Hz.
The partial discharge spectrum is as follows. Observing the characteristics of the spectrum can help users identify the discharge type.

Estimation of gas leakage

Turn on the function of gas leakage level calculation in the equipment. After opening, the software will turn on the focusing function by default to avoid interference.
There are options of air pressure and distance on the left side of the software. The user needs to input the air pressure (unit: kPa) and distance (unit: m) of the leaked gas according to the actual situation of the site. The software will calculate the leakage level and the approximate range of gas leakage according to the gas pressure, distance and calculated leakage energy (for reference). The gas leakage level is divided into levels, and the corresponding leakage direction is shown in the table below:

Leakage Level

| Leakage Range

(Unit: ml / min, for reference)

---|---
0| ＜10ml/min
1| ＞10ml/min，＜200ml/min
2| ＞200ml/min，＜500ml/min
3| ＞500ml/min，＜1000ml/min
4| ＞1000ml/min，＜1500ml/min
5| ＞1500ml/min，＜2000ml/min
6| ＞2000ml/min

Equipment use skills

Capture sound source
- Observe whether there are prominent spectral signals or spectral spikes in the spectrum diagram. If there is, move the select box including the frequency range where the prominent spectral signal or frequency spike is, and then observe if any sound source appears.
- Try to adjust the dynamic range to a larger value, may simultaneously capture more than one sound source in the screen. When the SPL of multiple sound sources in the picture is very different, a small dynamic range may cause the larger sound source to drown the small sound source.
Exclude fake sound source cause of reflection
When you are unable to determine if the sound source is an actual sound source or a reflection one. Try to capture the sound source in different test position. If the sound source is steady, then it is supposed to be an actual sound source. A reflection one will drift or disappear when be captured in different test position.
Exclude interfering noise
- It is easy to be disturbed by environmental noise in low frequency band. According to the actual situation of sound source, it is recommended to use middle or high frequency to capture the position of sound source.
- A relatively narrow frequency band range is suggested to be chosen to locate the sound source, which can eliminate interference noise in other bands.
Equipment maintenance
- Keep acoustic sensor holes clean, prevent dust accumulation. When the hole has dust, please gently blow air to clean, do not use a wet cloth to clean.
- When not in use for a long time, put it into the attached package after charging, and store in a room temperature.
- Regular inspect and charge battery can effectively increase service life of the battery.
