Abstract
An intrinsically-safe sensor system, as well as a method for assembling the intrinsically-safe sensor system and a method for monitoring sound corresponding to a source using the intrinsically-safe sensor system, are provided herein. The intrinsically-safe sensor system includes a number of sensors, including a microphone, as well as a processor for processing sensor data obtained from the sensors. The intrinsically-safe sensor system also includes a memory component for storing the sensor data obtained from the sensors, a power source, a communication connection for communicably coupling the intrinsically-safe sensor system to a remote computing system, and a connector including internal and external connection regions for internally and/or externally connecting one or more additional devices to the intrinsically-safe sensor system on demand. The intrinsically-safe sensor system further includes an enclosure, as well as potting material for encapsulating an internal region of the intrinsically-safe sensor system that resides within the enclosure.
