Sorama L642Ex
An explosion‑safe acoustic monitor for continuous monitoring in hazardous environments
What is the
Sorama L642Ex?
The Sorama L642Ex is an explosion‑protected acoustic monitor designed to operate as a fixed monitoring point or to be used on inspection robots.
This device supports teams respond before issues escalate into safety risks or unplanned downtime. The acoustic insights are delivered in real time and can be integrated directly into maintenance or asset‑management systems.
Zone-ready safety
As an ATEX certified device it supports inspections and monitoring in hazardous areas.
Detect small leaks
Catch leaks when they start, before safety or uptime gets compromised.
Built for maintenance
Privacy compliant
The device is designed to capture only relevant insights, following GDPR compliance.

How does the
Sorama L642Ex work?
The L642Ex continuously monitors acoustic activity in its coverage area and looks for changes or patterns that indicate leaks, partial discharge, or mechanical irregularities.
When defined thresholds are exceeded, the device generates acoustic insights such as sound maps, alerts, or classified detections. These outputs help teams to quickly understand what is happening, where to investigate, and when action is required.
Where is it used?
For teams operating in ATEX and IECEx zones who need continuous acoustic monitoring to detect gas leaks, partial discharge, or abnormal sound behavior during normal operation.

Hazardous environments
For hazardous and regulated sites where safety, certification, and uptime are critical, including oil and gas, chemical processing, hydrogen, energy, and utility infrastructure.
Limitations
The Sorama L642Ex depends on direct sound propagation.
Solid barriers such as sealed enclosures or underground structures can reduce detection performance and proper placement is therefore important: mounting position and line‑of‑sight to the sound source influence localization accuracy, especially in complex environments.
Alarm quality depends on how detection triggers are configured for specific assets and operating conditions. The device detects and localizes acoustic signatures, but it does not identify gas composition or replace dedicated concentration measurement sensors.
The Sorama L642Ex is not:
-
A gas concentration meter or chemical identification tool
-
A electrical test equipment used to confirm insulation integrity

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Sorama L642Ex detect specific gases?
No. The Sorama L642Ex detects the acoustic signature created by pressurized leaks. It localizes where the leak occurs, but it does not identify gas composition or concentration.
Can the Sorama L642Ex monitor continuously?
Yes. The Sorama L642Ex is designed for continuous monitoring. It analyzes sound in real time and triggers alerts when acoustic patterns indicate leaks, discharge activity, or abnormal mechanical behavior.
Can the Sorama L642Ex work alongside existing gas detection sensors?
Yes. The Sorama L642Ex complements traditional gas detectors. It helps localize the source of a leak quickly, while gas sensors measure gas concentration levels.
How does the Sorama L642Ex integrate with maintenance systems?
The Sorama L642Ex sends alerts, classifications, and sound maps through an API. These events can trigger notifications or work orders inside ERP or maintenance management systems.
Does the Sorama L642Ex record conversations or speech?
No. The Sorama L642Ex analyzes acoustic patterns to detect events such as leaks or electrical discharge. Processing happens on the device, and it sends event data rather than continuous audio recordings.
How many Sorama L642Ex units are needed for a site?
That depends on the size of the area, the assets being monitored, and the acoustic conditions. Larger or complex environments may require multiple Sorama L642Ex units to achieve full coverage.
