ULTIMA® XE with HART

ULTIMA® XE with HART

MSA’s well-proven ULTIMA® XE gas monitors with display are now available with HART field communications protocol [Highway Addressable Remote Transducer]. HART provides two-way digital communication between intelligent field instruments and host systems. Increased sensor data as well as convenient set-up, calibration and diagnostics can be offered for better management of plant assets.

HART features two simultaneous communication channels: the 4-20 mA analogue signal and a digital signal, enabling the user to perform convenient set-up, calibration and diagnostics from any point along the 4-20 mA line.
With ULTIMA XE gas monitors the user has multiple calibration options: the handheld HART communicator, a laptop which communicates via dedicated HART software and the ULTIMA controller or calibrator.
