Run MPAC208 inspections in hazardous areas
The Megger MPAC208-IECEx Professional Acoustic Imaging Camera brings the same leak, partial discharge and mechanical diagnostics approach into explosive atmosphere work. Megger positions the IECEx model as providing the same features as the standard MPAC208, while adding certification for Class 2 explosive atmospheres. So you keep your inspection workflow consistent across mixed sites.
Use intrinsic safety “ic” protection with IECEx marking
The IECEx certificate lists type of protection as intrinsic safety “ic” with marking Ex ic IIC T5 Gc and Ex ic IIIC T100°C Dc, with an ambient range of -20°C to 50°C. The certificate also states intended use in Zone 2 and Zone 22 environments (IIC gas group and IIIC dust group). That gives maintenance teams a clear compliance anchor for site method statements and audit trails.
Keep the same outcomes: find leaks, PD and mechanical deterioration quickly
You still use acoustic imaging to locate pressurised gas leaks, prioritise energy loss, and build a repair list that stands up to scrutiny. You still use PD workflows to spot early insulation distress, and you still use mechanical analysis to catch bearing and valve issues before they escalate. As a result, you protect uptime and you reduce the risk of emergency call-outs.
Follow the IECEx conditions of use
The IECEx certificate includes specific conditions. For example, you only replace or charge the battery pack in non-hazardous areas, and you apply port-use restrictions in hazardous areas. You also protect the equipment from exposure to daylight or luminaire light, and you avoid opening sealing covers in hazardous areas. Because these details matter in real compliance work, you can build them into your on-site procedure.
Build confidence on complex sites
When you maintain assets across petrochemical, utilities, and industrial environments, the MPAC208-IECEx lets you standardise your inspection method while meeting hazardous-area requirements. You move faster, you document findings more clearly, and you support safer planning for repairs.
