View All Support ResourcesWill Sonic3 work with my phone?
- Compatibility: Sonic3 works with compatible Android 12+ phones through USB-C. It does not support iPhones or iOS.
- App required: Install the FOTRIC Genie app to view and control acoustic imaging.
- Before buying: If you are unsure about your phone model, contact us to confirm compatibility.
Will it drain my phone’s battery during an inspection?
- Independent power: Sonic3 has a built-in rechargeable battery to power its acoustic hardware.
- Your phone still uses power: Running the app and keeping the screen on will consume your phone’s battery.
- For longer jobs: Charge both devices before heading out so you can spend more time inspecting.
Can it help me find a leak I cannot hear?
- See ultrasonic sound: Sonic3 displays sound locations over your phone’s camera view, helping you narrow down which fitting, valve, or connection to check.
- Useful applications: Inspect compressed-air systems, vacuum systems, and accessible pressurized HVAC connections for leak-related sounds.
- Detection depends on conditions: Leak strength, pressure difference, distance, and background noise affect results. The stated 0.3–60 m working range does not mean every leak can be detected at 60 m.
Can I use it while machinery is running?
- Reduce interference: Acoustic Image Focus and adjustable frequency selection help you concentrate on the sound you are investigating.
- Choose your view: Use single-source mode to focus on one location, or multi-source and hologram modes to examine several sources.
- Check from different angles: Changing your position and frequency range can help distinguish a suspected leak from nearby equipment noise.
Do I have to hold the camera and phone separately?
- Compact setup: Attach Sonic3 magnetically to the back of your phone using the included magnetic ring.
- Handle option: Use the included ergonomic handle when it suits your inspection position.
- Easy transport: The camera weighs 200 g and includes a soft carrying bag to keep the kit together between jobs.
Can it find leaks behind walls or confirm an electrical fault?
- Accessible sound sources: Sonic3 detects airborne sound. Walls and other solid barriers can block it, so it is not designed to locate concealed pipe leaks through a wall.
- Electrical checks: It can help locate ultrasonic activity that may be associated with partial discharge.
- Guide your next step: Use the visible sound location as a starting point for further inspection; it does not identify the exact fault or confirm a repair on its own.
