These innovative toxic gas and oxygen detectors are based upon the
design of the popular ALTAIR Single-Gas Detector, but with added
features and functionality.

- One-button operation
- Versions available for CO, H2S, O2,
NH3, Cl2, ClO2, NO2, SO2, HCN,
and PH3
- Accurately measures gas
- Great RFI performance
concentration or percent oxygen
- Displays information on a large,
clear, backlit LCD. are offered for LOW, HIGH,
TWA, and STEL
- Adjustable alarm set points
- Superior dust and water protection
(rated IP67 except O2-R)
- Event-logging and data-logging
- Alarms are indicated by flashing LEDs, audible alarm, and internal vibrating alarm
- Excellent impact resistance
- Replaceable battery and sensor
The ALTAIR Pro Single-Gas Detector
provides worry-free performance and
stands up to the roughest handling in
even the toughest industrial
environments. Sensors and battery
are easily replaced to keep the unit
performing for years.
The ALTAIR Pro Single-Gas Detector
is designed and built with MSA’s
superior quality and is part of MSA's
ALTAIR Detector family of products.
Ease-of-Use
The ALTAIR Pro Single-Gas Detector
combines user flexibility and functional
simplicity. True single-button operation
provides users with a clear path to any
function. With a single button, users can:
- turn the unit on.
- activate the backlight.
- activate the infrared link for
communication with a computer.
- display information about the unit, such
as software version and alarm settings.
- perform a fresh air setup (FAS).
- initiate a bump test.
- change calibration gas concentration.
- initiate calibration.
- reset peak reading display.
- manually change LOW, HIGH, TWA, STEL
alarm set points (in protected SETUP
(mode only).
- turn the unit off.
Another ease-of-use feature is the built-in
gas delivery adapter; no accessories are
needed to conduct gas response tests,
eliminating hidden replacement costs.
Distinctive Alarm System
Triple alarm system leaves no doubt for users
in alarm situations. Piercing audio alarm
averages 95 dB @ 1 foot and is designed to
be distinctive from other workplace sounds.
Extended frequency range covers a wide
sound spectrum. Visual alarm features dual
LED displays located on the unit’s top, visible
from all angles. Internal vibrating alarm is also
standard on all units, emitting a pulse that
directly calls additional attention to users
when in alarm mode.
Easily Replaceable, Commercially
Available Battery
The detector runs on a single CR2 camera
battery, simple to install and commercially
available. Installed battery life is
approximately 9,000 hrs (> 1 year). A
long wake-up period each time units are
activated is avoided by supplying small
amounts of power to sensors even when
units are powered off.
Remote Oxygen Detector (O2-R)
The remote oxygen version for The ALTAIR
Pro Single-Gas Detector’s remote oxygen
sensor attaches remotely to the end of a
ten-foot cable, rather than inside instrument
housing. Design allows users to lower the
sensor into remote locations and monitor
O2 levels from ten feet away.
Sensors
The ALTAIR Pro Single-Gas Detector uses
fast-responding 20 Series oxygen and toxic
sensors and meets UL, cUL, ATEX, and
Australian standards. Sensors simply plug
in to the internal circuit board for fast,
easy replacement.
Built-In IR Communication
(Event & data logging)
Data logging is standard on the Altair Pro
Single-Gas Detector. The unit automatically
records the 50 latest events in the session
log, while simultaneously recording peak
gas readings or low O2 readings every three
minutes in a periodic data log. Combined,
these two tools provide a great way to assess
alarm conditions, confirm bump tests or
calibration, and verify employee gas
concentration exposures.
To access data, simply link the unit to your
MSA infrared adapter using standard built-in
IR communication. MSA FiveStar® LinkTM
Software allows you to view various logs,
adjust alarm set points, assign the unit a
specific name, and disable or activate
particular features and options, a one-stop
unit control center.
Rugged Design
Thick rubberized housing withstands
accidental drops or other impacts and also
provides additional water ingress resistance.
Metal screw inserts offer stability over the
unit’s lifetime. A durable suspension clip
completes this tough outer shell.
Water and Dust Resistance
The ALTAIR Pro Single-Gas Detector is
highly water-and dust-resistant. Simple yet
effective design innovatively seals the unit,
exceeding the industry average IP rating.
Test and Calibration Stations
MSA is proud to offer the ALTAIR
QuickCheck® Station, an easy and cost-
effective way to perform daily alarm
and gas response tests on your ALTAIR Pro
Single-Gas Detectors. The station is available
in manual and automatic versions and
quickly verifies that the instrument is
ready for the upcoming day’s use.
MSA also offers the ALTAIR Galaxy®
Automated Test System for complete
automatic calibration and record-keeping
of your ALTAIR Pro Single-Gas Detectors.
Please contact MSA for additional
information on either of these stations.
