Meet VaRoM MN3240
Specially Developed Sensor For MAN 32/40 Engines
VaRoM MAN 32/40
Leave unplanned downtime behind with data retrieved in seconds from the heart of MAN 32/40 engines. Discover operational excellence with the world's first wireless & batteryless valve monitoring sensor.
Specially developed for MAN 32/40 engines, VaRoM-MN3240 is the world's first wireless and batteryless autonomous valve monitoring sensor solution, mounted on the valve rotator.
Monitors intake and exhaust valves with second-by-second precision while the engine is running; presents valve sticking and early fatigue symptoms with data ready for professional analyses.
Generates its own energy from the engine's natural vibration with patented technology. Featuring a 'plug-and-forget' architecture requiring no battery changes or external cabling.
Collected critical data is securely transmitted over BLE to MAN 32/40 SCADA, HMI, and ESCOM-es monitoring systems. Provides digital transformation in Industry 4.0 standards.
Disastrous Effect of Valve Failure
Valve sticking or breakage in MAN 32/40 engines causes serious damage to pistons, cylinder heads, and turbochargers. An unplanned shutdown turns into huge financial losses lasting days or weeks for ship or power plant operations.
Limits of Conventional Methods
In MAN 32/40 power plant engines, valve monitoring relies on manual inspections, compression tests, and auditory diagnostics. These reactive approaches trigger only after damage occurs. Tracking real-time valve condition while the engine is running requires two technicians and an engine shutdown procedure, causing both operational and economic losses.
Predictive Approach with VaRoM-MN3240
VaRoM-MN3240 continuously monitors the intake and exhaust valves of the MAN 32/40 engine while it is running. Operating batterylessly with vibration-based energy, it sends instantaneous data via BLE to SCADA or the ESCOM-es Dashboard. Thus, failures are detected and prevented before they occur.
Discover Simplicity with VaRoM-MN3240
VaRoM-MN3240 is mounted on MAN 32/40 engine valve rotators with just three M6 bolts. It operates batterylessly and without requiring cables by using the engine's own vibration energy. It simultaneously measures valve rotation speed, valve stroke (optional), and temperature in real time.
Uninterrupted 24/7 Valve Monitoring
With VaRoM-MN3240, operators gain instantaneous access to valve data for each cylinder of the MAN 32/40 engine. Automatic warnings are given when alarm thresholds are exceeded. Thanks to predictive maintenance, the risk of engine failure is significantly reduced, minimizing downtime costs.
The Future's Smart Marine IoT Infrastructure
VaRoM-MN3240 is not just a sensor, but a data source that helps you create the Digital Twin of your MAN 32/40 engine.
Start lowering your operational costs (OPEX) and extending engine life today by switching from reactive maintenance to proactive/predictive maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Disruption of the valve hierarchy in MAN 32/40 engines means direct operational downtime and high-cost component replacements. VaRoM-MN3240 analyzes valve rotation anomalies in seconds while the engine is running, offering an autonomous protective shield that prevents unplanned downtime up to 100%.
Our 'Vibration Energy Harvesting' technology generates the electricity required by the sensor from the natural operating vibration of the MAN 32/40 engine. This ensures the device runs autonomously for a lifetime without needing battery changes, cabling, or an external power source.
VaRoM-MN3240 operates on the 'Plug & Forget' principle. It is mounted to the valve rotator in minutes using just three M6 bolts. Its wireless structure drops assembly costs and complexity to zero.
Our sensor captures valve rotation speed (RPM) and temperature data with second-by-second precision. Data can be monitored instantly via the ESCOM-es Dashboard or through existing ship/facility SCADA systems. Our advanced algorithms process this data to shape your predictive maintenance strategy.
The downtime cost caused by a single MAN 32/40 valve failure is higher than the entire system installation cost. VaRoM-MN3240 ensures a full return on investment by optimizing valve life and correctly determining component replacement times.
Absolutely. Our industrial-grade BLE protocol ensures lossless data transmission even in metal-dense engine rooms. With our gateway (Wi-GaTe) system, a stable communication infrastructure is offered within a 100-meter indoor range.
Data collected over the Wi-GaTe gateway can be instantly transferred to existing SCADA (IAMCS), HMI, or ESCOM-es monitoring systems using industry-standard protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, Profinet, or Profibus. It delivers a complete digital transformation (Industry 4.0).
VaRoM-MN3240 has an IP68 protection class and is fully resistant to oil, dirt, and heavy vibration. Additionally, it has official ATEX certification guaranteeing safe operation in explosive atmospheres, and shows full compliance with CE certification processes.
