MSA  10092521

MSA’s ALTAIR Single-Gas Detector provides over two years of maintenance-free performance (depending upon alarm minutes used). Long life, cost-effective single-gas detectors offer outstanding dust and water protection and feature a distinctive triple alarm system. Two bright LEDs and piercing audible alarm with standard vibrating alarm help to ensure that no alarm condition goes unnoticed. Rubberized armor housing and one-button operation provide durability and ease of use. Units will not deactivate after two years of operation; instead will perform as long as battery capacity and sensor performance allow. Built-in calibration feature enables users to potentially further extend instrument life. ALTAIR Single-Gas Detectors are part of MSA’s ALTAIR Detector family of products.

Factory-calibrated detector provides warranted two-years or 1080 alarm minutes (18 hours) of service life with no maintenance. No sensor or battery changes are needed. Built-in gas delivery adapter means no misplaced accessories when conducting gas response tests, avoiding hidden replacement costs.

By confirming Gas Test with a single button press, the unit allows for a simple bump check to be recorded and displayed onscreen via a checkmark for 24 hours. This checkmark is confirmation of not only an electronic circuit check but also of sensor response. While it is only necessary to perform a bump test to ensure proper sensor response, ALTAIR Single-Gas Detector offers built-in calibration as required in some facilities.

Long-life lithium battery offers significantly more capacity than its closest competitor and far outlasts the two minutes of alarm mode per day standard. ALTAIR Single-Gas Detector units will not deactivate after two years of operation but will continue to deliver performance as long as battery capacity and sensor performance allow. No other maintenance-free single-gas detector in its class can beat this performance.

Patented, MSA-built Button® Cell toxic gas sensors feature stainless steel construction and contain solid electrolyte, virtually eliminating sensor leakage. Extremely small and thin sensor profile allows ALTAIR Single-Gas Detectors to deliver high performance in a very small package. Toxic gas sensors provide stability for the unit’s service life. ALTAIR Single-Gas Detector oxygen version accommodates industry- standard fast-responding 20 Series oxygen sensor and is UL, cUL, ATEX, and Australian standards-approved.

ALTAIR Single-Gas Detectors record the 25 latest alarm events automatically, offering a great tool for alarm condition assessment: just connect it to your MSA InfraRed adapter using standard, built-in IR communication. Alarm set points can be adjusted manually prior to the unit's activation or through IR link after activation.

ALTAIR Single- Gas Detectors use a proven suspension clip to be worn anywhere in the breathing area: on the helmet, belt, and many other places. MSA’s rugged clip design keeps unit attached during even the roughest use.

ALTAIR Single-Gas Detectors offer a simple, easy-to-read display. Large numeric display allows users to count down service life, alarm conditions, set points, peak reading, and hours in alarm since activation with accuracy and confidence. O2 version display helps users to identify current levels as well as highest and lowest readings at a glance. Users can perform fresh air setup and reset peak readings with the touch of a button.

ALTAIR Single-Gas Detectors are highly water- and dust-resistant and are tested to IP67. Simple yet effective design uses rubberized armor to seal units from water and dust ingress, providing a tight seal and exceeding the industry-average rating.

ALTAIR QuickCheck Stations are inexpensive test stations for ALTAIR and ALTAIR Pro Gas Detectors. Available in manual and automatic versions, this test station quickly verifies instrument alarm system functionality and then performs a gas response test (bump check).

The Galaxy Automated Test System for the ALTAIR and ALTAIR Pro Gas Detectors is a complete instrument calibration and record retention system. Options such as industry-standard memory card, wired networking, and receipt printing allow this flexible system to be configured to meet your needs.

Triple alarm system leaves no doubt for users in alarm situations. Audible alarm sounds at an average of 95 dB@1 foot and is designed to be distinctive among other workplace sounds. Alarm’s extended frequency range covers a wide sound spectrum even when used by tone-deaf individuals. Visual alarm features dual, super-bright LEDs on unit’s top and are visible from all angles and when worn inside the pocket. Numeric display shows LO or HI alarm status. Vibrating alarm comes standard and emits a pulse when in alarm mode that calls additional attention to users.

Extra-thick rubberized housing withstands accidental drops and provides resistance to water ingress. Metal screw inserts offer stability over the unit’s lifetime. MSA’s focus on reliability, ease of use, and durability are key design elements of ALTAIR Single-Gas Detectors.
