SUPREMA Calibration
1 Safety Regulations
1.1 Correct Use
The program SUPREMA Calibration can be used for calibrating measuring points with passive
detectors connected to a SUPREMA system.
This operating manual describes SUPREMA Calibration version 2.4.0.x.
WARNING!
Use of SUPREMA Calibration is only approved for SUPREMATouch systems with firmware
3.01.06, 3.02.01 and higher and SUPREMA systems with firmware 2.06.04.
It is imperative that this operating manual be read and observed when using the product. In particular, the safety instructions, as well as the information for the use and operation of the product,
must be carefully read and observed. Furthermore, the national regulations applicable in the
user's country must be taken into account for a safe use.
WARNING!
Only trained individuals should use SUPREMA Calibration. Before taking over calibrations from
the SUPREMA Calibration on a SUPREMA the data needs to be checked.
DANGER!
This product is supporting life and health. Inappropriate use, maintenance or servicing may affect
the function of the device and thereby seriously compromise the user's life.
Before use the product operability must be verified. The product must not be used if the function
test is unsuccessful, it is damaged, a competent servicing/maintenance has not been made,
genuine MSA spare parts have not been used.
Alternative use, or use outside this specification will be considered as non-compliance. This also
applies especially to unauthorised alterations to the product and to commissioning work that has
not been carried out by MSA or authorised persons.
1.2 Liability Information
MSA accepts no liability in cases where the product has been used inappropriately or not as
intended. The selection and use of the product are the exclusive responsibility of the individual
operator.
Product liability claims, warranties also as guarantees made by MSA with respect to the product
are voided, if it is not used, serviced or maintained in accordance with the instructions in this
manual.

Safety Regulations

SUPREMA Calibration
1.3 Safety and Precautionary Measures
• All calibrations made with a PC must be checked for correctness on the SUPREMA system, or
they must be checked for correctness on the PC after they have been read back to the PC.
• Ensure that no unauthorised persons have access to a computer running
SUPREMA Calibration.
• If an error message appears and the cause of the error is unclear or the error cannot be fixed,
contact MSA.
• It is the responsibility of the user to check all data entered with SUPREMA Calibration.
WARNING!
Because the calculation of the relative sensitivity is based on the most recent First calibration
before the calibration is carried out, incorrect values could result from a First calibration carried
out directly on the SUPREMA.
WARNING!
Only applicable for firmware versions lower than 3.02.01:
No calibration data from calibrations carried out directly on the SUPREMA are stored in the database used by SUPREMA Calibration. This is why no reports are available for calibrations and First
calibrations carried out directly on the SUPREMA.

SUPREMA Calibration
2 Hardware and System Requirements
2.1 System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems
• Windows 7 x86/x64
• Windows 10 x86/x64
Hardware Requirements
Recommended Minimum: Pentium 1,5 GHz or higher with 2 GB RAM
Minimum disk space:
• x86 – 2 GB
• x64 – 4 GB
Minimum screen resolution: 1024x768
Recommended screen resolution: 1280x1024
2.2 Interfaces
The PC must be equipped with:
•USB port or
• Serial port
2.3 Supported SUPREMA versions
• SUPREMATouch firmware 3.02.01 and higher
• SUPREMATouch firmware 3.01.06
• SUPREMA 2.06.04
2.4 Software Requirements
The following software has to be installed to use SUPREMA Calibration:
• SUPREMA Manager, version 2.4.0.x or higher
To use SUPREMA Calibration, a database has to be created with SUPREMA Manager.This database must include the dataset for the SUPREMA to be calibrated.
If no USB port driver is installed, Windows will detect a new device after connecting the
SUPREMA via USB cable for the first time. The driver should be installed automatically.
If the driver is not installed automatically, it is possible to install the driver from the
SUPREMA Calibration CD.
For SUPREMATouch firmware or SUPREMA with a firmware version lower than
3.02.01 some functions of SUPREMA Calibration are not available. Where applicable,
the reduced functional range is mentioned in this manual.
The SUPREMA manual referred to in this manual is the SUPREMATouch manual,
10121863, rev. 03. While the references will not work, the relevant content can be found
in the SUPREMA manual as well.

SUPREMA Calibration
3 Installation
3.1 Installation Process
(1) Insert data carrier.
Run the setup file on the data carrier to install both MSA-App and SUPREMA Calibration.
Follow the instructions of the installation wizard.
(2) Start the SUPREMA App on the PC.
To start SUPREMA Calibration, use the following path:
Start/Programs/MSA/MSA-App/MSAApp
(3) After completing the setup start the software once with administrator rights/permis-
sion.
Administration rights are required for installation.
If the software PrimaX Manager is installed on the PC there will be two entries under
MSA: “MSA-App” and “MSAApp”. For running SUPREMA Calibration start the “MSAApp” entry.
