MSA, building on extensive experience in sensor design, is pushing sensor technology into new territory with innovative advancements that enhance performance. The ALTAIR 4X Multigas Detector is equipped with dependable, long-lasting XCell Sensors that do not require replacement every two years.

BUILT ON DURABILITY
The ALTAIR 4X Multigas Detector measures LEL, O2, CO, and H2S (with additional CO-H2 res, H2S-LC, SO2, or NO2 options). It boasts a tough exterior that can survive a fall from 20 feet, making it virtually indestructible. Its large buttons, suitable for use with gloves, and high-contrast display ensure ease of use in any work environment, including low-light conditions.

POWERED BY PERFORMANCE
While its robustness is impressive, the ALTAIR 4X’s true advantage lies in its cutting-edge sensor technology. MSA XCell Sensors have a typical lifespan exceeding four years—twice the industry standard—thanks to MSA’s custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design. This design miniaturises the sensor’s controlling electronics, placing them within the sensor itself for enhanced stability, accuracy, and repeatability. XCell Sensors provide faster response and calibration times, reducing the time needed for bump tests and calibration. This efficiency not only saves on calibration gas and maintenance costs but also can be crucial in life-saving scenarios where every second counts.

RELIABILITY YOU CAN TRUST

The ALTAIR 4X Multigas Detector is equipped with exclusive safety features like MotionAlert™ and InstantAlert™, making it perfect for confined space entry. The MotionAlert sensor activates if the user remains motionless, alerting colleagues to their location, while the InstantAlert feature allows users to signal hazardous situations with a button press manually. The detector comes with a three-year warranty—one year more than the industry average—demonstrating its longevity and reliability beyond other portable gas detectors.

MSA XCELL TECHNOLOGY

MSA, with its extensive sensor design expertise, is transforming sensor technology through performance-enhancing innovations. The ALTAIR 4X’s XCell Sensors are built to last longer than two years. Key features include:

  • Sensor response and clear times of less than 15 seconds.
  • A 60-second span calibration time.
  • Greater signal stability and repeatability under varying or extreme environmental conditions.
  • A two-tox CO/H2S sensor with minimal cross-channel interference.
  • Digital sensor output, reducing susceptibility to RF interference.
  • A typical lifespan exceeding four years.
  • Laser-welded sensor housings to prevent leaks.
  • Enhanced poison resistance throughout the combustible sensor’s life.
  • An advanced end-of-sensor-life warning to minimise service disruptions.

KEY FEATURES

  • Large buttons and a bright display ensure ease of operation, even with gloves on.
  • The MotionAlert sensor activates after 30 seconds if the user becomes incapacitated due to unforeseen hazards.
  • The InstantAlert feature allows users to manually alert others of danger with a button press.
  • Compatible with the Galaxy™ Test System.
  • Ready for MSA Link™ Pro and MSA Link Software.
  • Global approvals for worldwide use.
  • Comes with a three-year warranty, covering the entire instrument, sensors, and battery.
  • A polycarbonate housing that withstands extreme impacts.
  • Survives a 20-foot drop test.
  • IP67 rating, making it both dust and water-tight.
