The SPA²IS is a combination alarm trip and temperature transmitter that includes built-in intrinsically-safe field connections for current/voltage, thermocouple, and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).

For facilities that employ intrinsic safety measures, the SPA²IS is an alarm solution that includes intrinsically-safe field connections, providing the necessary protection typically afforded by a galvanically isolated barrier. The SPA²IS is powered by a universal AC/DC power supply and provides on/off control, warns ofunwanted process conditions, alarms on rate of change, and assists with or performs emergency shutdowns. The SPA²IS is site and PC programmable using Moore Industries’ free Intelligent PC Configuration Software.
