The SUPREMATouch is a stationary gas warning system with multiple measurement sites, which
operates continuously to monitor work sites for the presence of combustible and toxic mixtures of
gas and/or vapor with air and to monitor the ambient air for oxygen content. The system supplies
power to the sensors, displays the measured concentrations, and monitors the limit values, but it
also actuates alarm devices. The various functions of the gas warning system (the acquisition of
the measurement values, the evaluation of the signals, the actuation of the alarm devices etc.) are
performed by the various modules of the SUPREMATouch.
The SUPREMATouch can process the standardized current and voltage outputs of various types
of sensors. This means that the system can display and evaluate not only gas measurements but
other measurement variables as well (e.g., temperature and pressure).
The SUPREMATouch is a modular system, allowing a wide variety of applications.

System Concept
2.2Design
The modules of the SUPREMATouch are mounted in a rack. For expanded systems, additional
modules can be placed in a second rack or installed on top hat rails in a switch box.
Data is exchanged between the modules over a CAN bus, so it is possible to connect satellites
over long distances.
For measurement tasks that require redundant signal input and processing, additional modules
can be added at any time to expand the gas warning system.
The sensors must have the type of protection against ignition prescribed for the installation site.
The connection between the input module of the SUPREMATouch and the sensors is established
by a screened remote-measurement cable of the 2, 3, 4 or 5 wire type.
For servicing, the sensors can be electrically isolated from the SUPREMATouch by mechanically
disconnecting the plug-in connection (MAT, MAT TS modules).
The following block circuit diagram shows the possible layout of a non-redundant system.
Sensors
The system distinguishes between passive detectors and active transmitters.
As a general rule, passive detectors simply consist of a highly sensitive (half) measuring bridge
while active transmitters possess their own electronics and have a standardised signal output
(4–20 mA).

Fail Conditions
Signals that are above full-scale range or signal fails that were caused by an interruption of the
digital communication are always latched.
Signal fails caused by signals below the measuring range are non-latching. Measurement values
that are over the full-scale range will trigger all 4 alarms.
Horn
If an audible alarm device is connected to the horn relay, it will sound as soon as a new alarm is
triggered. It continues to sound even when the alarm condition no longer exists. Pressing the
ACKNL key silences the horn, regardless of whether or not the alarm condition still exists.
When a redundant system is used, the ACKNL or RESET key has to be pressed for at
least 1 second.
2.3Operation and Display unit MDO
The operation and display unit includes the following components:
•Colour TFT touch screen with 320 x 240 resolution
•2 keys
•8 LED indicators
•1 beeper
The TFT screen is a full graphic display with a resistive touch panel. The character height is
approximately 4 mm.

2.6Bus Protocol
The SUPREMATouch uses the CAN bus protocol. On the Interconnection Board (MIB module),
the DIL switch can be used to set the transfer speed to 10, 20, 50, 125, 250, 500 or 1,000 kBits/s
for all of the connected modules. All modules on one bus must operate at the same bit rate; if one
of the modules uses a different rate, an error state occurs on the bus. This is detected, and appropriate messages are displayed.
Each module receives a code (Node ID) in the range of 1–127 by the use of the DIL switch of the
MIB module board on the basis of its slot in the rack. Each of the modules on one bus must have
its own code. If duplicate codes are detected, an error message is generated.
2.7System Power Supply
The system is supplied with an operating voltage of 24 VDC (19.2–32 VDC). 3 pairs of terminals
for the connection of three 24 VDC power supply sources (EXT, INT, BAT) are provided on the
Interconnection Board (MIB module). Therefore the power can be taken from 3 different sources
(redundancy). If all three supply voltages (EXT, INT and BAT) are present, the system selects
only one of these to supply the module, in the following order of prioritisation:
1st = EXT, 2nd = INT, 3rd = BAT.
The system module hardware manages the power supply changeover.
When an external power pack or battery supply is used, MSA recommends that the power is
filtered through an appropriate EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) filter. See chapter 12.2
"Installation Instructions for Following the EMC Directives"for low voltage installation information.
In order to protect the battery and the SUPREMATouch against damage, an additional deep
discharge contactor component is required in the corresponding 24 V feeder (e.g. deep discharge
contactor C1900-TLS, Mentzer or similar).
•The customer is responsible for providing a safety cut-out (maximum rack power, 480 W/20 A).
•85–264 VAC is supplied via screw terminals directly on the power supply unit.
•The EXT, INT and BAT voltages are supplied to each system module.
•Voltages required for the individual modules are obtained in the modules themselves from the
24 V.
•The power requirement that must be met is derived from the type and number of sensors
connected and from the components installed in the system.
•Maximum power provided for one rack is 480 W (maximum current of 20 A).
•The transmitter/detector input modules measure all input voltages and can generate error
messages, which can be shown on the display unit. In addition, a POWER FAIL relay
(optional: redundant) is de-energized when the status of the system power supply changes.
EXT Terminals (External Power Supply, 24 VDC)
•Connection for voltage supply from an external power supply unit; power is sent to all units in
the rack.
•Required when a redundant power supply is provided or when the internal rack power supply
is not sufficient to operate all of the sensors.
•Maximum supply current of 20 A for one rack.

System Concept
INT Terminals (Internal Power Supply, 24 VDC 250 W)
•Connection for voltage supply from an internal rack power supply or an external power supply
unit.
•Power supplied to all rack units and the sensors.
•Internal power supply unit (MSP module) has a supply voltage input of 85–265 VAC
(47–63 Hz) or 120–330 VDC.
•If the rack power supply unit cannot supply enough power, the sensors, modules or relays must
be supplied by external power supply units.
•The internal rack power supply can be omitted if, because of a high power requirement or a
redundant design, the power is being supplied by an external power supply via the INT terminals.
•Maximum supply current of 20 A.
BAT Terminals (Backup Battery Power Supply)
•Backup battery power supply for all units of a rack (21 –28 VDC).
•In the case of failure of internal and/or external power supply, the backup battery power supply
will supply power to the system.
•Maximum supply current of 20 A.
Power Supply Plans
All of the system cards and the sensors can be supplied from each of the 3 pairs of terminals
connections. A voltage changeover switch is provided on each system card, which ensures that
only one of the voltages being applied is accepted. Various power supply plans are available to
suit the number and type of sensors and/or the required degree of redundancy in the power
supply.
If the internal rack power supply unit is not sufficient to power all the sensors, an external unit must
be provided. The internal unit must then be disconnected. A redundant power supply is then
provided by external units via the BAT or INT terminals.
Supply Plan A: Internal Power Supply Unit
All of the units of the system and the sensors are supplied by the rack power supply unit (INT
terminals). This variant is used when power supply redundancy is not required and the power
which can be supplied by the unit installed in the rack (250 W) is sufficient to supply all of the rack
modules and the connected sensors.
Supply Plan B: External Power Supply Unit
All system modules housed in the rack and the sensors are supplied by the external power supply
unit (EXT terminals). This variant is used when power supply redundancy is not required and the
power of the unit installed in the rack (250 W) is not sufficient to supply all of the system modules
and the connected sensors. A maximum of 20 A can be supplied across the terminals (480 W
system power).
Supply Plan C: Internal Power Supply Unit + Battery
All units of the system and the sensors are supplied by the rack power supply unit (INT terminals)
or by the backup power supply (BAT terminals). This variant is used when there must be redundancy in the power supply and the power of the unit installed in the rack (250 W) is sufficient for
all rack modules and the connected sensors.
Supply Plan D: External Power Supply Unit + Battery
All modules of the system and the sensors are supplied by the external power supply unit
(EXT terminals) or by the backup power supply (BAT terminals). This variant is used when the
power supply must be redundant and the power that can be supplied by the unit installed in the
rack is not sufficient to supply the system modules and the connected sensors. A maximum of
20 A can be supplied across the terminals (480 W system power).
2.8Safety Concept
The individual functional modules are connected to each other by a CAN bus. The CAN bus is
designed to be virtually error-proof. Every module can detect errors on the bus and handle them
appropriately. The probability of an undiscovered communications error on the bus is 4.7 * 10
Error statuses on the CAN bus are indicated on the DISPLAY + OPERATION unit (MDO module).

Page 18
System Concept
Each module with a microcontroller has a watchdog timer, which can trigger the system fail signal
line of its rack. As a result, the SYSTEM FAIL common relays on the interconnection board (MIB
module) are de-energized. This common failure signal is also indicated by the DISPLAY + OPERATION unit.
All modules are checked for signs of activity at fixed periodic time intervals by the CENTRAL
PROCESSING unit (MCP module) via the CAN bus. The failure of a module can thus be recognized, and the appropriate messages will be generated. These messages are logged in the MDO's
log books and, parallel to it, the System Fail is activated by the relevant modules.
The operating voltages of the connected voltage supply units (EXT, INT and BAT) are monitored
by the transmitter/detector input modules. If a malfunction occurs here, the POWER-FAIL
common relay is released.
Gas Warning Systems
In simpler expansion stages of safety requirements according to EN 61508, the gas warning
system can be operated via one of the two possible CAN bus connections. Starting with SIL 3,
both CAN bus connections are required. In this case, two CENTRAL PROCESSING units (MCP
modules) are present and all of the input and output signals important for system operations are
available over additional modules on both CAN buses in parallel. If one of these CAN bus connections fails, a SYSTEM FAIL message is generated. The system still remains functional by using the remaining CAN bus connection.
In the case of a SYSTEM FAIL message, the SYSTEM FAIL LED will light up and the system fail
relays change to failure condition. A System Fail message indicates a malfunction of the
SUPREMATouch and therefore an service is required immediately. The connection of the
switching outputs of the system fail relays has to enable an immediate triggering message.
Gas Warning Systems with Higher Safety Requirements
For gas warning systems with higher safety requirements according to EN 61508 SIL 3 the system
can be provided with redundancy using additional modules. Redundant signal processing has the
same structure and functions the same way as standard non-redundant processing. Communications between the modules proceed over an internal connection, which is designed as a redundant
CAN bus.
If one of the two signal processing routes malfunctions, an error message appears on the
DISPLAY + OPERATION unit (MDO module) (SYSTEM FAIL). The remaining signal processing
channel takes over all of the necessary functions until the defective module can be replaced. The
failure of individual modules does not lead automatically to the failure of the entire system. Only
the functions assigned to the specific module in question are unavailable. The system fail relay
has to be connected and monitored (see chapter 9 "Special conditions to comply with the requirements of DIN EN 61508 for SIL 1-3 according to TÜV Certificate"and 10 "Special conditions to
comply with the requirements of ATEX").
2.9During Operation
GB
WARNING!
In case of operation with catalytic combustion detectors: To guarantee the unambiguity of catalytic
combustion sensor operation it must be ensured at all times (e.g. by checking with hand-held test
instruments) that the environmental atmosphere to be monitored by the sensors is free of combustible gases prior to the sensors and the system being switched on or overrange indications are
reset.

System Operation
3System Operation
The modular control system’s user interface is the integrated operation and display unit. This unit
displays alarms and warnings as well as system parameters.
Selection and input are touch-controlled, which means that the integrated Display and Operation
module is very easy to use..
Connecting the operating unit to a PC provides a more user-friendly interface with additional
features.
The software SUPREMA Manager can be used to create and manage the configuration and
parametrization of multiple SUPREMA systems. See separate operating manual for SUPREMA
Manager for details.
Both the PC program and the SUPREMATouch system use graphical user interfaces (GUIs). The
input fields are set up as selection fields as much as possible, with all known inputs displayed.
3.1Operation Menu
The operation menu is divided into four submenus:
•Measure
•Setup
•Maintain
•Diagnosis
These submenus can be selected by tapping the corresponding menu item. The Measure
submenu is automatically activated at system start-up.
If another menu is active and there is no operator activity for 3 minutes, the system returns to the
Measure submenu. If an alarm occurs the Measure submenu is automatically activated.
3.2Access Authorisation
In the various windows, data can be displayed and entered and certain actions can be initiated by
using the touch screen (e.g., starting a calibration procedure). However, editing items or initiating
actions requires access authorisation by entering the password required for the control level or
operating a keyswitch, if fitted.
Three user groups with different password control levels are defined:
•Maintenance
•Parametrisation
•Configuration
Fig. 4 Access control
If the user wants to change a value or press a button when the required authorisation is not yet
issued, the appropriate password must be entered in the pop up window or the key switch must
be activated. Password authorisation remains in effect until measurement mode is activated either
through user input or automatically due to inactivity of 3 minutes or alarms.
SUPREMATouch
GB
19
Page 20
System Operation
If a user with modification authorisation is logged in at the PC and there has not been any communication between the PC and the SUPREMATouch system for more than 5 minutes, password
authorisation will automatically expire.
While SUPREMA Manager is connected to the SUPREMATouch, it is not possible to
simultaneosly change settings via the MDO.
Whether password authorisation is still in effect is indicated by a small lock symbol in lower right
corner of each password controlled window.
Lock symbol
The system is delivered with the default password AUER for all three password levels. MSA
recommends to change the passwords when accessing the SUPREMATouch for the first time.
In the Measure and Diagnosis submenus, data is only displayed, password access control is not
required.
Changing the Password
The password must have a minimum of four characters and may not have more than eight. Any
symbol from the ASCI character set can be used. The password is case-sensitive.
If no password at all is wanted, the password can be deleted by entering nothing instead of a new
password. Authorisation can then be granted only by using the key switch. In this case, an additional security dialog is initiated with the warning that the approval of the system is revoked in the
event of unauthorized changes.
To change a current password/create a new password, carry out the following:
(1)Select the corresponding password field in the Setup/System menu.
Enter the current password or actuate the key switch.
(2)After entering the password or actuating the key switch, leave the window with the OK button.
When the key switch was actuated, it can be released again after leaving the password
window.
(3)Enter the new password in the Password and Confirmation fields of the Setup/System menu.
(4)Confirm the new password with OK.
To replace a forgotten password, a higher-level password can be entered. If the current
parameterisation password is also lost, a new password can be entered by actuating the
key switch. If there is no key switch to close, connect terminal contacts 1 (GND) and 2
(PSW) on the MST module with a wire jumper, provided that these terminals can be
accessed safely.
3.3Measure Menu
When the system configuration is successfully completed, the Measure menu will appear automatically after the system is started. For display of measured values, it is possible to choose from
different display types:
•List (default after start-up)
•Bars
•LEDs
•Groups
Displayed measurement and status values are updated once per second.
Unlike the common alarm LEDs on the MDO front panel, the touch screen display of alarms and
failures does not flash.

System Operation
If the user is in the List, Bars or LEDs window and does not tap any key for 60 seconds, the window
automatically starts scrolling (one page per 5 seconds).
(1)To scroll through the list manually use the arrow buttons in the lower left corner of the window
or move the list while touching it.
For all display types, it is possible to manually switch between different modes of displaying the
measured information. In one mode all inputs are shown, in the other modes only the inputs in
alarm or fail status are shown.
(2)To switch between modes touch the bell or the sign symbol in the lower right corner of the
measure window.
If one of these selection modes is chosen, the corresponding symbol has a blue background.
The number of measuring points in alarm and in fail and the CAN bus, A or B, currently
selected as the information source is also shown in this area.
It is possible to switch to the CAN bus by touching the CAN symbol. If the CAN bus is manually
selected, the CAN symbol has a blue background. If the CAN bus is automatically selected, the
CAN symbol has a grey background.

Alarms
Alarms can be latching or non-latching (also see Measuring Points submenu).
Non-latching alarms:
When a signal exceeds the alarm threshold, a new alarm is triggered and the corresponding LED
flashes at a frequency of 0.5 Hz. Pressing the ACKNL (acknowledge) key makes the LED change
to ‘steady state’. When the signal is below the alarm threshold, the LED will turn off, regardless of
whether the alarm has been acknowledged or not. For non-latching alarms, the RESET key has
no effect.
Latching alarms:
When a signal exceeds the alarm threshold, a new alarm is triggered and the corresponding LED
flashes at a frequency of 0.5 Hz. Pressing the ACKNL (acknowledge) key makes the LED change
to ‘steady state’. When the signal no longer exceeds the alarm threshold, the LED remains in
‘steady state’ if the alarm has been acknowledged, or in the ‘flashing state’ if the alarm has not
been acknowledged. If the signal no longer exceeds the alarm threshold and the alarm has been
acknowledged, the LED is extinguished by pressing the RESET key. If the signal still exceeds the
alarm threshold, pressing RESET has no effect.
In the Alarms subwindow, parameters can be set for up to four alarm levels for the selected input.
A limit value can be set for each alarm to trigger either on a rising or falling input signal. In addition,
relay outputs can be selected to operate if an alarm occurs. For every alarm, latching or non-latching parameters can be set.

During normal operation, only one of the first three LEDs is on. If no LED is on, there is a problem
with the voltage supply to the module.
If the FAIL LED (LED No. 4) is on, contact an MSA service technician. If this cannot be done immediately, the module can be replaced if a spare unit is available (→ 6.2 "Replacing Modules"). The
failure which occurred is stored in the SUPREMATouch logbook and can be found in the “Diagnosis/Logbook/System events” menu.
6.2Replacing Modules
When a module is found to be defective, it must be replaced.
MSA recommends that an MSA service technician is called in to help with the diagnosis and to
help determine whether the module has to be replaced.

Service
When replacing modules, ensure that the DIP switches are in the correct position
(see chapter 12.6 "Module Configuration").
NOTICE
Only replace plug-in modules after the voltage to the SUPREMATouch system has been shut off.
Always disconnect the supply voltages before removing/inserting any plug-in modules.
In the following, the procedure for replacing individual modules is described.
Plug-In Modules
Replacing MCP and MDO Modules
The voltage to the system must be shut off before these modules can be replaced.
(1)Save the current system configuration [setup/measuring points, relay outputs, system] with
the SUPREMA Manager.
(2)Remove power from the system [e.g., by disconnecting the supply voltage connections at the
MIB module].
NOTICE
When rail-mounted relay modules are being used, the triggering of an alarm associated with the
shut-off of the voltage can be prevented by locking the relays on the MRC TS module, provided
that the MRC TS module is supplied with a voltage separate from that of the system [Chapter
12.10 "Connecting the Relay Outputs"]
GB
(3)Replace the MCP20, or MDC20 and MDO20 modules [be careful with the ribbon cable
connection between the MDC20 and the MDO20 modules].
(4)Turn the voltage supply back on.
(5)Reconfigure the system.
(6)Unlock the relays again if necessary.
SUPREMATouch
79
Page 80
Replacing MAI30/MAR30 Modules
When replacing the MAI and/or the MAR module, the system must first be switched off.
Always ensure that the correct assignment to the connected sensors is preserved (Chapter 12.9
"Connecting the Sensors").
When passive sensors are connected to the MAI/MAR to be replaced, the following points must
be kept in mind:
•The preadjustment of the MAI module (Chapter 13.4 "Preadjusting Passive Detectors") must
be performed again.
NOTICE
When passive sensors are connected to the MAI to be replaced, always electrically separate the
connected sensor to prevent damage as a result of uncompensated sensor current.
Replacing the MGO Module
When replacing the MGO module, the system must first be switched off. To prevent alarms and
malfunction messages, the relays must be inhibited directly on the MRC TS module (→ part Installation and Start-Up Manual).
Replacing the MAO Module
When replacing the MAO module, the system must first be switched off. The failure message can
be prevented from being sent any farther by inhibiting the relays on the MST module (MRO8
module) or on the MRC TS module (MRO8 TS module) (→ chapter 12.10 "Connecting the Relay
Outputs").
Replacing the MBC Module
When replacing the MBC module, the system must first be switched off. To prevent alarms and
malfunction messages, the relays must be inhibited directly on the MRC TS module (→ chapter
These modules can be replaced without turning off the system, although the function in question
[sensor input, relay driver or analogue output] is not available during the replacement.
When the modules which implement sensor connections are replaced, the assigned measuring
points must be locked to prevent alarms or failure messages (→ chapter 12.10 "Connecting the
Relay Outputs").
When a MUT module that is connected to a MRC TS module must be replaced, the connected
relays can be locked by using the LOCR connection on the MRC TS module, provided that the
MRC TS module has a voltage supply separate from the system (→ chapter 12.10 "Connecting
the Relay Outputs").
Replacing MRO8/MR 8 TS Modules
It is not necessary to turn off the system to replace MRO8/MRO8 TS modules. Alarm devices
which are connected to the modules must be deactivated, however (especially when the relays
are operating Normally energized).
6.3Diagnostic Functions
The structure and operation of the “Diagnostics” menu are described in detail in chapter 4.3 "Diagnosis Menu". The functions of all means of alarm and system fail relays have to be checked regularly (once a year). For details, see chapter 9.1 "Conditions for configuration, installation,
operation and maintenance"

6.7LED and Sounder Test
An LED and sounder test is provided for the MDO which enables a visual functional test of the
front panel LEDs and an acoustical test of the sounder. This test can be carried out independently
from the active operating state of the SUPREMATouch and does not affect the mode of operation
of the SUPREMATouch. To carry out this test, press the button shown in the illustration. The front
panel LEDs should now be illuminated (System–power, fail, inhibit and Signal–1st to 4th alarm,
fail). If there is an LED that is not illuminated when the switch is pressed, it is possible that the
MDO module needs to be replaced.

6.8System Configuration
Configuration during initial installation
If there is no configuration saved in the SUPREMATouch during transfer of the configuration and
the first MCP is not plugged into Slot1 of the rack, the PC program "SUPREMA Manager" displays
an error message "transmission failed". This can be ignored.
Varying or manual selection of a configuration
If there are different configurations in the SUPREMATouch modules, e.g. because of replacement
of an MCP, a system configuration message appears when the system is switched on for the first
time after the modification. The module from which the [effective] configuration is to be taken must
be specified.
(1)If the configuration is to be taken manually from a particular module, press the RESET button
for approx. 1 second directly after switch-on.
The system configuration message appears after the system starts so that the configuration of a
module can be selected.
Service
Fig. 54 System Configuration Message
Selecting a Configuration
(2)Touch the desired configuration to select it.
(3)Press OK to copy the selected configuration to other MDO and/or MCP modules.
If a configuration is transferred to the SUPREMATouch with the "SUPREMA Manager",
this configuration is always saved in the MDO. If it is not certain that the configuration
was distributed to the system, choose MDO as the system configuration.

7Calibration
Sensitivity and zero point of the connected sensors must be adjusted as necessary in accordance
with the operating instructions for the types of sensors connected to the system.
Sensors which are no longer able to generate the minimum signals must be replaced.
Two calibration modes are available:
•In one mode two persons are required to perform calibrations. Person 1 operating the
SUPREMATouch and Person 2 supplying the sensors with gas. It is necessary for them to
communicate during the calibration.
•In the other mode only one person is required. This person starts the calibration, goes to the
sensors to apply gas and finally finishing the calibration back at the SUPREMATouch.
NOTICE
Observe and follow all regulations and rules regarding use of communication devices in the area
where the SUPREMATouch is installed.
7.1Calibration Submenu
Calibration parameters for the individual inputs can be set in the calibration menu. From that point
on the calibration is controlled by the SUPREMATouch.
Calibration
The preadjustment is applied immediately and cannot be cancelled or discarded.
The window is divided into two subwindows:
•Start calibration
•End calibration
If an input is selected that is not already in calibration mode, the Start calibration window appears.
If an input is selected that is already in calibration mode, the End calibration window appears.
The fields Measuring Point and Tag fields are available in both windows.

is selected, the rest of the fields are filled, depending on whether
or not the input is in calibration mode.
Global parameter changes and actions using the fields
described below apply to the input selected in this field.
Enter the zero gas concentration (in the defined measuring
dimension) here. This value can be set in a range between 0
and the range value defined in the measuring point parameters,
but should be the same as the measurement range zero (i.e.
usually zero). The field defaults to the value of the last calibration, if the input has already been calibrated.
Contains a list of zero gases that can be used to calibrate the
inputs. The field defaults to the zero gas (Measuring Point
window) for the selected input.
Enter the test gas concentration (in the defined measuring
dimension). This value can be set in a range between 10% of
the measuring range and the range value defined in the
measuring point parameters. The field defaults to the value of
the last calibration, if the input has already been calibrated.
Contains a list of test gases that can be used to calibrate the
inputs. The field defaults to the test gas (Measuring Point
window) for the selected input.
If this field is set, a first calibration and, if applicable and
confirmed, an automatic preadjustment will be carried out. If a
first calibration takes place, entries in the calibration history for
the selected measuring point will be deleted.
If no previous calibration has been done, a first calibration will
always be carried out independent from this setting.
Tapping this button starts the calibration process in one-man
mode and automatically inhibits the output.
Tap this button to accept the entered settings. After tapping the
button, the parameters are immediately checked to see if they
are valid. If the parameters are valid, the calibration starts. If
they are not valid, a warning appears.
When the calibration is started in one-man mode, taking over
zero and span values in the Calibration End mask is automatically done by theSUPREMATouch. All other functions are identical.
The shown time is the time between detected application of the

Calibration
Here the data from the last calibration is displayed, if the input has already
been calibrated.
•CAL-ZERO: Measurement value and internal signal UA for zero gas
•CAL-SPAN: Measurement value and internal signal UA for test gas
The dimensions of the values are shown directly above the values.
These fields display the data for the current calibration process similar to
the values in the “Old” line. The current measurement value is captured
and placed in the corresponding field when the “Store” button is pressed,
depending on the calibration phase.
The current measured signal value and the current internal signal UA are
displayed and updated every second.
Displays the current signal Ux for passive detectors, if the measuring point
has already been calibrated. Otherwise no value is displayed (which
means: no first calibration has been done). For active transmitters this field
is not displayed.
At first calibration the difference signal Ux for zero gas is set to 0 mV. At
all following calibrations the current difference signal is always based on
the defined value, which is the value resulting from the first calibration.
Indicator for a stable difference signal Ux for passive detectors. Only when
the Progress Bar is full should the measured values be accepted. For
active transmitters this field is not displayed.
The current calibration status is briefly displayed in this field. To get more
detailed information tap the “i” button beside the Status field.
When readings for zero gas and test gas measurement are displayed in
the corresponding fields, they can be validated by tapping the “End”
button.
When only the zero gas measurement are displayed in the corresponding
fields, a zero point calibration can be performed by tapping this button.
This is not possible when the current calibration is a first calibration.
If this button is tapped during zero gas measurement, the current
measurement value is placed into the zero gas field. If it is tapped during
test gas measurement, the current measurement value is placed in the test
gas field.
Tapping this button will cancel a calibration process at any time, provided
there is no preadjustment in progress. The results up to that time will be
voided (except pre-adjustment settings).

7.2Calibrating Passive Detectors
Before calibration, make sure that the sensors have warmed up.
Maximum 32 sensors can be calibrated at once.
Warm-up time depends on the sensors and on the measuring components (see the appropriate
sensor data, chapter 16 "Sensor Data").
The required zero and test gases as well as test adapters and hose connections (see the sensor
operating and maintenance instructions) for supplying the gas are necessary for the successful
completion of the calibrations.
The duration and flow rate of the zero and test gas supplies can be found in the operating and
maintenance instructions for the sensor as well as the sensor data sheet (see chapter 16 "Sensor
Data") for the sensor in question.
NOTICE
MSA recommends using a test gas with a concentration of approximately 50% of the measuring
range of the measuring point. Under no circumstances should the test gas concentration be less
than 25% of the measuring range. If possible, the test gas (the gas used to calibrate the sensor)
and the measurement gas (the gas to be monitored) should be identical. If this is not the case and
a reference gas is used, the response factor of the gas concentration used must be known (see
operating and maintenance instructions for the sensor, reference curve).
Exceptions to this rule are sensor types D-8101, D-8113, DF-8201, DF-8250, DF-8401 and DF-
8603. Because of the nonlinear output signal of these sensors, they should always be calibrated
to the rating (100% of the measuring range), provided that this is below the LEL (lower explosion
limit).
Calibration
For a two-man calibration, person 1 (at the SUPREMATouch) and person 2 (at the sensor in question) must perform the following steps:

Calibration
If the preadjustment was correct, the ACTUAL VALUES for the zero point will be approximately in the range of 350 mV–450 mV. The signal voltage shown is calculated
according to the formula: Signal = C / 100 * 1600 mV + 400 mV (for sensors with a linear
output signal), where C is the concentration of the test gas in % of the measuring range.
The tolerance is approximately equal to the signal value in mV ± 100 mV.
1-Man Calibration
For a one-man calibration, the person must perform the following steps:
(1)Select Maintain/Calibration/Standard menu.
(2)Select input to be calibrated in “Measuring Point” field
(3)Enter gas concentration in Zero Gas field:
a) Enter the concentration of the test gas in the zero gas (usually 0%), not the concentration
of the zero gas.
(4)Enter test gas concentration in Test Gas field.
(5)If test gas used is different from reference gas entered in the Setup/Inputs&Outputs/
Measuring points menu, change the entry in field Test Gas of the Calibration submenu.
(6)Start calibration with Start 1-Man button.
a) Confirm messages immediately shown on the screen.
(7)Go to the sensor in the field.
(8)Supply zero gas via test adapter to the sensor assigned to the selected measuring point for
a sufficient period of time (duration and flow rate according to sensor operating and maintenance instructions).
(9)Stop zero gas supply and supply test for a sufficient period of time.
(10) Stop test gas supply and return to the SUPREMA.
The measurement values taken over during the calibration process is shown in the NEW line.
(11) Check the measuring values taken over and shown on the display.
If plausible, complete the calibration by pressing the “End” button; otherwise cancel the calibration by pressing the “Cancel” button.
WARNING!
If the signal voltage exceeds 2000 mV or is too weak during the test gas supply, the calibration is
invalid. Under no circumstances may the calibration value be accepted. Check test gas concentration and make sure it is being supplied correctly. It may be necessary to check and correct the
preadjustment of the measuring point.
If the preadjustment was correct, the ACTUAL VALUES for the zero point will be approximately in the range of 350 mV–450 mV. The signal voltage shown is calculated
according to the formula: Signal = C / 100 * 1600 mV + 400 mV (for sensors with a linear
output signal), where C is the concentration of the test gas in % of the measuring range.
The tolerance is approximately equal to the signal value in mV ± 100 mV.

7.3First Calibration with Pre-Adjustment
Passive Detectors
The first calibration for passive detectors is carried out as described in chapter 7.2 "Calibrating
Passive Detectors". Carrying out a first calibration deletes the calibration history of the sensor.
During a first calibration, it is not possible to perform a separate zero calibration.
NOTICE
The first calibration may not be performed until after the preadjustment of the MAI module (chapter
13.4 "Preadjusting Passive Detectors") has been properly completed for all connected passive
detectors.
Signals U
above 600 mV are not valid for the zero point calibration. During the sensitivity calibra-
A
tion, the value in the signal field must exceed the value in the zero gas field by at least 200 mV.
NOTICE

tion, the value in the signal field must exceed the value in the zero gas field by at least 200 mV.
Calibration
Active Transmitters
A first calibration on the SUPREMATouch system is not required for active transmitters (sensors
with a 4–20 mA output). The first calibration is to be performed directly at the sensor in accordance
with the operating and maintenance instructions of the sensor. As default values, the
SUPREMATouch system interprets an input current of 4 mA as 0% of the measuring range and
an input current of 20 mA as 100% of the measuring range.
NOTICE
In case of sensors that do not send a maintenance level during calibration, it is recommended to
inhibit the input in the Setup/Measuring Points menu during the first calibration.
As part of the start-up procedure, it is recommended that the correctness of the displayed values
be checked either by supplying gas to the sensors or by supplying a constant current to the MAT
module from a source of constant current. The method for correcting the 4–20 mA input is
described in chapter 7.4 "Calibrating Active Transmitters".

7.4Calibrating Active Transmitters
For active transmitter (sensors with an output of 4–20 mA), calibration is to be carried out directly
on the sensor in accordance with the sensor’s operating and maintenance instructions. As default
values, the SUPREMATouch system interprets an input current of 4 mA as 0% of the measuring
range and an input current of 20 mA as 100% of the measuring range.
GB
For sensors which do not transmit a maintenance level during calibration, MSA recommends to lock the measuring point during calibration in the Setup/Measuring point
menu.

Calibration
Checking the Display
If, in spite of correctly calibrated active transmitters, the expected values (0% of the measuring
range for a signal current of 4 mA and 100% of the measuring range for a signal current of 20 mA)
do not appear on the SUPREMATouch, the calibration on the SUPREMATouch must be checked
and corrected if necessary.
For this purpose, either the signal current of the connected sensor or a variable power source can
be used. If the signal current of the sensor is used, make sure that the sensor is supplying the
correct values.
To correct a possibly incorrectly set measuring point, change the selected type of sensor:
(1)Go to the Setup/Input and Outputs/Measuring Points/Sensor Data menu.
(2)Select any other type of sensor.
(3)Confirm the selection with OK.
(4)Re-select the type of sensor connected and confirm with OK.
The measuring point will be set back again to the standard setting of 4 mA = 0% of the
measuring range and 20 mA = 100% of the measuring range.
NOTICE
During this calibration the measuring point must be inhibited manually (alarm rejection).
NOTICE
Adjustments on the MAI module are neither necessary nor possible for active transmitters.
Calibration with a Variable Power Source
(1)Lock the measuring point in question in the Setup/Input and Outputs/Measuring points menu
to prevent triggering an alarm.
(2)Detach cable connections of sensor to MAT module.
(3)Connect the variable power source to the MAT module as follows:
MAT module terminal 1: + pole of the power source (signal)
MAT module terminal 4:–pole of the power source (GND)
(4)Set output current of power source to 4 mA.
(5)Unlock measuring point in question in the Setup/Input and Outputs/Measuring points menu
to allow a calibration.
(6)Select Maintain/Calibration/Standard menu.
(7)Select measuring point to be calibrated in Measuring Point field.
(8)Enter 0 % of measuring range in the field Zero Gas as zero gas concentration.
(9)Enter 100 % of measuring range in the field Test Gas as test gas concentration.

(17) After allowing the sensor to recover sufficiently, unlock the measuring point.
(18) The calibration menu displays.
(19) Select the next measuring point and repeat the procedure.
Calibration Using the Transmitter
Make sure before calibration that the sensors have recovered. This calibration procedure can also
be used to compensate for small deviations in the output current of the sensors from the system
setup of the SUPREMATouch (4 mA = 0% of the measuring range, 20 mA = 100% of the
measuring range). The deviations in the current should not exceed ± 0.5 mA, however, or otherwise the error evaluation (leaving the measuring range in one direction or the other) will be
impaired.
Again, the required zero and test gases, test adapters, and hose connections (see operating and
maintenance instructions of the sensor) for supplying the gases are necessary for a successful
calibration.
The duration and flow rate of the zero and test gas supplies can be found in the operating and
maintenance instructions for the sensor in question.
Sensors with a linear output signal:The test gas concentration should be in the upper
third of the measuring range. The displayed signal voltage is calculated according to the
formula: Signal = C / 100 * 1600 mV + 400 mV. Sensors with a nonlinear output signal
must be calibrated to the rating. (Take note of the LEL.) Signal voltage for full scale:
2000 mV ± 10 mV.
For the calibration procedures for 1-man and 2-man calibration, see chapter 7.2 "Calibrating
Passive Detectors".
7.5Calibration with Automatic Valve Control
Check sensor manuals for necessary equipment.
If valves have been configured in the menu Setup/Inputs and Outputs/Measuring Points, the gas
applications of person 2 described in chapters 7.2 and 7.4 will be done automatically using these
valves. But person 1 is still required to check and confirm the values.
7.6Separate Zero Adjustment
If the primary calibration has been completed, it is possible to only adjust the zero point in the
course of maintenance work. The appropriate span value is then processed by the
SUPREMATouch based on the data from the last completed calibration. Carry out the steps for
zero adjustment as described in the previous sections. After storing the zero value (Store button)
the zero adjustment can be carried out with the End button. The following dialog must be
confirmed with <YES>.
GB
SUPREMATouch
94
Page 95
NOTICE
If the value is below the zero adjustment range, the separate zero setting is cancelled and a
warning is displayed. Exceeding the calculated span value is also invalid and results in cancelling
of the separate zero setting. It is then recommended that a complete calibration is carried out and
if necessary, the sensor is replaced.
NOTICE
After the separate zero setting, no SPAN value is shown in the calibration menu and in the logbook
for these settings.
7.7Calibration of Groups of Measuring Points
When a group of measuring points is defined and parameterized as calibratable, the complete
group can be set to calibration mode at once. The start screen and the values that have to be
entered are similar to a calibration of a single measuring point.
The measuring gas, range and dimension have to be similar for all measuring points in
a group if the group should be used for this calibration process. A group can contain up
to 32 measuring points.
Calibration
After pressing the appropriate Start button for 1- or 2-man calibration, all measuring points of the
group will be set to calibration mode. Afterwards a list with all measuring points and their calibration status will be shown. The calibration process is similar to a single point calibration. The current
value of the selected measuring point can be taken over by pressing the Store button or by
entering the single point calibration mask by double tapping the measuring point.
7.8Remote Calibration of Transmitters
When a digital communication between the SUPREMA and a supported transmitter is available,
e.g. a HART enabled PrimaX is connected to a MAI30 with MHS30 module, it is possible to calibrate the transmitter itself remotely controlled from the SUPREMA.
For a remote calibration, the following steps must performed:
(1)Select Maintain/Calibration/Remote.
(2)Select input to be calibrated in Measuring Point field.
(3)Enter gas concentration in Zero Gas field.
(4)Enter test gas concentration in Test Gas field.
(5)If test gas used is different from reference gas entered in the Setup/Inputs&Outputs/
Measuring points menu, change the entry in field Test Gas of the Calibration submenu.
(6)Select the calibration mode.
Not all modes may be supported by the connected transmitter.
(7)Start calibration with Start.
(8)Follow the transmitter dependent instruction shown on the SUPREMA display.
7.9Setting the Bridge Current
Before a passive sensor can be calibrated and used, the bridge current has to be set according
to the sensor manual. The value to be set can be gas dependent. After a change of the bridge
current, a new warm-up time has to be considered.
Setting the bridge current requires an already parameterized measuring point.
GB
A setting that has been started or carried out cannot be canceled or discarded.
SUPREMATouch
95
Page 96
Calibration
WARNING!
Setting the bridge current deletes the calibration history of the sensor. The current calibration for
the selected measuring point will be reset.
In order to avoid accidental damage and destruction of the sensors by an excessive
bridge current, the setting must be carried out using a corresponding sensor equivalent
network (see chapter 5.1 "Sensor Simulation Modules" or sensor simulator).
To set the bridge current:
(1)Connect sensor simulation module.
(2)Enter the sensor type dependent current in the Sensor Current reference value.
(3)Start the setting with Start.
(4)Wait until the Status field indicates completion of the process.
(5)End the process with End.
(6)Remove sensor simulation module.
(7)Connect desired sensor.
When the bridge current is set and the sensor has warmed-up properly, carry out the first calibra-
tion of the measuring point.

System Expansions
8System Expansions
Up to 256 inputs can be connected to a SUPREMATouch system. Up to 512 digital outputs are
available. A complete system for up to 64 inputs can be installed in one 19” rack. Depending on
the size of the current system already in place, various additional modules are required to expand
the system. Connecting additional modules, inputs, and relays increases the power demand of the
system and may mean that a new system power supply is required.
Any additional modules that have been installed must be configured in the system using
the SUPREMA Manager.
8.1Connecting Additional Sensors
NOTICE
Whenever connecting additional sensors, always ensure that the voltage supply to the system is
still adequate (→ part Installation and Start-Up Manual). If necessary, install a voltage supply
which meets the new requirements.
Up to 256 sensors can be connected to a SUPREMATouch system.
A single MAI30 module allows up to 8 sensors to be connected.
When a rail-mount system is used for connecting the sensors (MAT TS or MGT40 TS module) a
maximum of 8 MAI and therefore 64 sensors can be installed in one rack.
When the rack-mount system is used for connecting the sensors (MAT module) a maximum of 4
MAI and therefore 32 sensors can be installed in one rack.
For connecting additional sensors it is necessary that the sensors themselves and their
connecting cables have been installed properly. The sensors can then be connected according to
the instructions (→ see chapter 12.9 "Connecting the Sensors").
There are three possible ways to expand the system, depending on the extent the system has
already been expanded:
1. Not all of the 8 possible inputs on an existing MAI30 module have been assigned. The
number of free inputs equals the number of new inputs to be connected.
In this case no additional modules are required.
The additional inputs must just be connected, parameterised, preadjusted (passive detectors
only), and calibrated.
A detailed description can be found in the part Installation and Start-Up Manual.
2. All existing MAI modules are assigned, or the number of free inputs is smaller than the
number of new sensors to be connected.
A sufficient number of free slots for additional MAI modules are available in the existing racks.
Additional MAI30 modules (one MAI module required for every 8 sensors) are required,
depending on the number of new sensors to be connected. Additional MAT/MAT TS/MUT/MGT
40 TS modules will also be needed. For redundant systems additional MAR modules are required
in the same amount as MAI modules.
To avoid alarm and error messages, the connected relays must be inhibited (see chapter 12.10
"Connecting the Relay Outputs").
The new inputs are configured and parameterized in the system, they must be preadjusted
(passive detectors only), configured, and calibrated.
These steps are described in detail in chapter 12 "Installation".
3. All existing MAI modules are assigned, or the number of free inputs is smaller than the
number of new inputs to be connected. No free slots for additional MAI modules are
present in the existing racks.
One or more new racks and the necessary CAN bus connecting cables are required.
Additional MAI modules (one MAI module required for every 8 sensors) are required, depending
on the number of new sensors to be connected. Additional MAT/MAT TS/MUT/MGT40 TS

modules will also be needed. For redundant systems additional MAR modules are required in the
same amount as MAI modules.
WARNING!
Always switch off the power supply when connecting a new rack.
(1)After switching off the power supply, mount and install the additional racks.
The connection of the racks and the required configuration changes (MIB module) are described
in chapter 12 "Installation".
Choose the correct CAN bus Bit rate and CAN node number (see chapter 12.6 "Module Configu-
ration").
8.2Connection of Additional Relay Driver Outputs
WARNING!
In all cases, the relay outputs must be configured as instructed (→ chapter 12.10 "Connecting the
Relay Outputs").
WARNING!
When connecting additional outputs, make sure that the system power supply is still adequate
(→ chapter 12.14 "Connecting the System Power Supply"). If necessary, install a power supply
which meets the new requirements.
A single SUPREMATouch system can provide a maximum of 512 relay driver outputs.
A single MGO module allows for 40 relay driver outputs.. A maximum of 10 MGO modules can be
plugged into one rack. This number of modules requires at least one additional rack containing
the appropriate number of MAI modules that enable the sensors to be connected.
There are three possible ways to expand the system, depending on the extent the system has
already been expanded:
1. A sufficient number of free relay driver outputs is still available on an existing MGO
module.
1.a) Only the common alarms of the MRO module plugged into the rack have been used:
The MRO8 module must be replaced with MRO8 TS modules. These are connected with ribbon
cable via MRC TS and MUT modules to the MGO module plugged into the rack (→ chapter 12.2
"Installation Instructions for Following the EMC Directives"). 5 MRO8 TS modules, each with 8
relays, can be connected per MRC TS module.
The connection procedure is described in detail in chapter 12.10 "Connecting the Relay Outputs".
1.b) MRO8 TS modules are already installed:
The connection can be made to existing MRO 8 TS modules; otherwise, additional MRO8 TS
modules must be installed.
2. An additional MGO module is required.
2.a) Free slots are still available in the existing racks:
Both the additional MGO module and the additional MRO8 TS modules are required to be
installed. These are connected via MRC TS and MUT modules with ribbon cable to the MGO
module plugged into the rack (→ chapter 12.2 "Installation Instructions for Following the EMC
Directives"). 5 MRO8 TS modules, each with 8 relays, can be connected per MRC TS module.
The connection procedure is described in detail in chapter 12.10 "Connecting the Relay Outputs".
2.b) There are no free slots for MGO modules available in the existing racks:

(2)After switching off the power supply, mount and install the additional rack.
The connection of the racks and the necessary configuration changes (MIB module) are described
in chapter 12 "Installation". Ensure that the correct CAN bus baud rate and CAN node number
have been selected.
Additional relay modules are to be connected as described under 2.a).
Additional Switching Outputs
The same guidelines (especially those for the MGO module) apply here as to the connection of
additional relays (see chapter 12.10 "Connecting the Relay Outputs"). Instead of the MRO and
MRC TS modules, however, MGT 40 TS modules are required, which are connected via ribbon
cable and an MUT module to the MGO module plugged into the rack (→ chapter 12 "Installation").
8.3Connection of Additional Analog Outputs
A maximum of 256 analogue outputs are provided by the SUPREMATouch, corresponding to the
maximum number of sensors that can be connected.
One MAO module makes 8 analogue outputs available. Up to 10 MAO modules can be plugged
in per rack. This is based, however, on the use of at least one additional rack containing the corresponding MAI modules, which make it possible to connect the sensors.
One of the following procedures must be carried out, depending on the extent to which the system
has already been expanded:
1. Not all 8 possible analogue outputs on an existing MAO module have been assigned. The
number of free analogue outputs is equal to the number of new analogue outputs to be
connected.
No additional modules are required. The additional analogue outputs can be connected to the
existing MAT or MAT TS module.
2. All existing MAO modules are assigned, or the number of free analogue outputs is
smaller than the number of new analogue outputs to be connected. A sufficient number of
free slots for additional MAO modules are present in the existing racks.
In this case, additional MAO modules are required in correspondence with the number of new
analogue outputs to be connected.
Additional MAT/MAT TS/MUT modules are also required.
3. All existing MAO modules are full, or the number of free analogue outputs is smaller than
the number of new analogue outputs to be connected. No free slots for additional MAO
modules are available in the existing racks.
In this case, additional MAO modules are required, in correspondence with number of new
analogue outputs to be connected.
Additional MAT/MAT TS/MUT modules are also required.
One or more new racks and the necessary CAN bus connecting cables will also be needed.
WARNING!
