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.

• Tough rubberized housing
• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
