V-SLIM
Monitor: Provides continuous, high-precision insulation resistance data where traditional systems cannot reach.
Visibility: Illuminates blind spots in electrical integrity and revealing hidden risks before they escalate.
Detects: Insulation degradation identified early to protect people, assets, and critical infrastructure.
V-LIFE Ready: Compatible with V-LIFE for remote insulation resistance recovery and long-term system integrity on subsea systems.
Overview
The V-SLIM is a compact, high-precision electrical line integrity monitor designed to deliver continuous insulation resistance measurement in ungrounded (unearthed) and floating electrical systems. Originally developed for subsea control and distribution networks, we now apply the same precision and reliability across multiple industries that require real-time visibility of electrical condition.
Unlike traditional topside LIMs, which measure insulation resistance from a single point, we use V-SLIM to provide localised monitoring throughout the electrical network. Topside devices may not capture the full electrical landscape, leaving blind spots where insulation degradation can go undetected. By placing intelligence closer to potential fault sources, V-SLIM brings these hidden risks into view.
Installed locally within the network, V-SLIM measures both total system and downstream insulation resistance, revealing overlooked integrity issues and emerging risks before they escalate. Trend monitoring over time supports preventative maintenance and optimised scheduling. The range includes the V-SLIM Canister for subsea environments and the V-SLIM Eurocard PCBA for embedded and OEM integration, both engineered for long-term performance in demanding conditions.

High-Precision Monitoring That Reveals What Others Can’t See
More about V-SLIM features & technology
V-SLIM delivers precision condition monitoring where traditional topside devices fall short. By enabling distributed measurement across electrical networks, our approach illuminates blind spots in electrical integrity and reveals issues standard topside monitoring can miss.
Installed close to critical circuits, V-SLIM continuously measures localised insulation resistance and capacitance, clarifying integrity gaps and exposing hidden vulnerabilities. This capability enables early intervention before safety or performance is compromised.
When integrated with PlatformVi, data from each V-SLIM is aggregated and analysed across entire networks, supporting predictive maintenance, advanced diagnostics, and remote insight. The V-SLIM Canister provides a rugged, pressure-rated solution for deepwater environments, while the V-SLIM Eurocard PCBA offers a lightweight, modular option for OEMs and control system designers.
Both variants are V-LIFE Ready, enabling remote activation of insulation protection and recovery in isolated or inaccessible systems. Compact, robust, and precise, V-SLIM brings unseen integrity issues into view, transforming data into foresight and foresight into prevention.

Intelligent Solutions For Critical Environments
Viper’s subsea oil & gas and marine solutions
We pioneered our technology in the subsea oil & gas industry, where uptime and reliability are critical. Installed across subsea distribution systems, V-SLIM provides real-time electrical oversight, detecting insulation degradation before it becomes a production threat.
When combined with V-LIFE, it enables us to protect and restore failing systems remotely, eliminating the need for costly vessel-based interventions. Integrated with PlatformVi, V-SLIM delivers remote data visibility, analytics, and diagnostics, giving engineers a complete picture of subsea electrical performance.
Today, these proven technologies are also deployed across marine, renewable energy, and defence sectors, supporting long-term system safety and resilience in the toughest operating conditions.
