MSA is proud to announce the introduction of the new ATEX approved release 2.2.0 of the SUPREMA Manager Software. This intuitive software is intended for configuration, parameterization and calibration of the SUPREMATouch Fire and Gas Controller. It offers the option to create detailed and clearly laid out reports to support documentation requirements, with the later versions of the classic SUPREMA systems also supported. The Windows based software is now ATEX approved by DEKRA EXAM for commissioning and maintenance of all SUPREMA systems and also adds support for Windows 8.
The SUPREMATouch can be used with a wide range of detectors, including combustible and toxic gas, oxygen, smoke, fire and heat. Output options include relays and 4-20mA. Digital interfaces allow the connection to external systems using Modbus or Profibus and advanced features like web access and automatic Email notification in the case of events are available. The performance of the SUPREMATouch has been certified according to ATEX directive and is suitable for virtually any safety related application including redundant systems with up to a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 rating (IEC 61508).
