Portable Gas Detection Reaches a New Level

MSA (Germany) introduces the next level of advanced technology in portable gas detection; The Altair 4X multi-gas detector with MSA XCell Sensor Technology.

The Altair 4X is a reliable multi-gas detector that measures O2, H2S, CO and combustible gas. A rugged housing provides unsurpassed durability, including the ability to withstand a 6 m drop test onto concrete. And with large, glove-friendly buttons and a high-contrast display, the Altair 4X is easy to operate in any work environment, even in low-light conditions.

It includes exclusive safety features like the optional glow-in-the-dark case as well as standard MotionAlert and InstantAlert, which make the Altair 4X ideal for applications such as confined space entry. Toughness and durability are not the whole story. The real strength of the new Altair 4X comes from the new MSA XCell Sensor Technology.

Superior stability, accuracy, repeatability and fast response characterise the new MSA XCell sensors. They are remarkably long-lasting and designed for an average life of more than four years. An end-of-sensor-life indicator gives advanced warning to user, eliminating service outages. Micro-electronics inside the sensor lead to faster response and calibration times. In addition, the Altair 4X is the first of the Altair family to come with the new MSA XCell Sensor Technology.
