MSA Altair 2X [10153986] Gas Detector, Charcoal, CO

The MSA ALTAIR 2X is a one or two gas detector that delivers unparalleled performance while minimizing total cost of ownership, increasing durability and delivering enhanced worker safety, compliance and traceability.

The MSA ALTAIR 2X gas detector is compatible with a wide range of XCell sensor options including SO₂, CO, H₂S, and NO₂, NH₃, and Cl₂. Their four-year sensor life is double the industry average, and they are engineered using MSA's proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design. By miniaturizing sensor controlling electronics and placing them inside the sensor itself, MSA XCell Sensors offer superior stability, accuracy and repeatability.

Many of the XCell sensors utilize MSA's patented XCell pulse technology which creates a simple and inexpensive approach to bump testing. Pulse technology delivers the world's first stand-alone bump test, allowing a daily bump test to be performed without the need for any calibration accessories or bottled calibration gas. When the ] detector is turned on, it automatically begins an electronic pulse check that activates the sensor catalyst and electrolyte interaction and makes minor corrections against prior calibration values. The user completes a simple flow check by exhaling toward the sensor inlet. An oxygen detector embedded in the sensor, that is only active during the pulse and flow check, detects the drop in oxygen content of exhaled breath. If both of these checks pass, the detector passes the bump test.

The ALTAIR 2X gas detector is as tough and functional as it looks. A rugged housing provides unsurpassed durability, including the ability to survive multiple 25-foot drops onto concrete. It as an intrinsically-safe design and includes agency-certified dust- and water-tight IP67 construction.
