MSA Altair 4X Multi Gas Detector

MSA Altair 4X Gas Detector

The MSA Altair 4x is now discontinued and has been replaced. A four-gas monitor for LEL, Oxygen, Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen Sulfide. Optional sensors were available for Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Dioxide.

The sensors had a four-year operational time. When sensor life ended, an indicator notified the operator. Battery duration was 24 hours.

The unit could survive 6 metres drops.

MotionAlert indicated man down, and instant alert warned others of potential hazards.

Features

  • Three-year warranty
  • IP67 Ingress
  • Fast sensor response <15 seconds
  • Bump test <15 seconds
  • Span calibration <60 seconds
  • Dual toxic sensor CO is H2 resistant. H2S has low H2 cross-sensitivity. Low concentration H2S option
  • LEL sensor can withstand poisons
  • Dual toxic CO/NO₂ and SO₂/H₂S-LC provide more gas configuration options
  • MotionAlert man down feature
  • InstantAlert warning function
  • Drop resistant up to 6 metres
