MSA Solaris [10070962] 2-Gas Detector, CH4, O2

The MSA Solaris multigas detector is an affordable, durable, reliable, and easy-to-use portable instrument for detecting the presence of O₂, H₂S, CO and combustible gas. It is designed to withstand rough handling in harsh environments and delivers MSA's commitment to quality in a small size at a small price. The Solaris multigas detector is ergonomically designed and provides the best value in its class. At a low, competitive cost, it provides state-of-the-art engineering, a wide array of features, weighs less than eight ounces and fits in the palm of your hand. Methane-calibrated Solaris detectors are MSHA-Approved for mining applications.

The Solaris multigas detector unit can be easily configured by the user to detect up to four gases simultaneously. Users can also easily modify most instrument functions including alarm and expected calibration gas concentration values, industrial hygiene (STEL, TWA) functions and many other operating and set-up parameters. And all critical values are protected behind a user selectable password option.

The MSA Solaris utilizes a triple alarm system. High intensity LED visual alarms are visible from all angles while the audible alarm is typically measured in excess of 100 dB and produces a shrill sound adding a sense of urgency to potentially dangerous situations while not being easily confused with other workplace sounds. A strong vibrating alarm is included as a standard feature. The Solaris also has a user-enabled LED that flashes a green light every 15 seconds simply to indicate to the user that the instrument is working properly.
Even with the tiny size of the MSA Solaris, this instrument offers a superior display. Its backlighting provides exceptional contrast, making it easy to read in low-light conditions and from a variety of angles. All gas concentrations are displayed simultaneously and can be easily identified at a glance. The Solaris multigas detector display also contains an alphanumeric message bar that clearly displays specific commands and easily guides users through various instrument functions.

The Solaris multigas detector is cased in rubberized armor that helps to absorb impact if the unit is accidentally dropped and the IP65 rating provides superior protection against liquid and dust ingress. This also helps to ensure that the Solaris Multigas Detector will perform reliably in the harshest industrial environments.

The Solaris Multigas Detector is available with rechargeable lithium ion or alkaline battery packs. The rechargeable lithium ion battery version offers more than 14 hours of continuous operation and fully recharges in less than four hours. The alkaline battery version operates for over 12 hours using three AA batteries within easy-access housing.

The MSA Solaris multigas detector offers an optional powered sampling pump that is contained within the sampling probe accessory. The basic pump platform uses the same proven technology as other MSA portable instruments. The pump probe can be used with up to 50 feet of tubing for remote sampling applications. The pump module also includes an extensive filtering system to keep liquid and particulate contaminants at bay. The Solaris is also compatible with MSA's Galaxy Automated Test System which allows users the ability to automatically calibrate, charge and keep calibration records for their instruments. As an optional feature, the Galaxy System provides access to calibration records and results via a wired or wireless network interface.
