MSA ALTAIR PRO Gas Detector

With a wide choice of sensors ALTAIR Pro  gas monitor is suitable for applications including industries such as Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Steel & Iron, Utilities, Fire Service and Contractors.

MSA ALTAIR Pro features a broad range of 20 series sensors which are field proven and fast-responding.  Available configurations for these include O2, CO, H2S, NH3, Cl2, ClO2, HCN, NO2, PH3 and SO2.  In order to reduce instrument down time all sensors are simple to fit.  

Safety First 

MSA’s gas detector is IP 67 rated and is designed to tolerate a 3m drop test. The housing of the ALTAIR gas monitor is extra thick and rubberised to provide protection from accidental drops.  To ensure resistance to water and dust ingress the ALTAIR Pro has a simple, yet effective tight seal.  Metal screw inserts offer a high level of structural stability over the unit’s lifetime.   

To ensure oxygen gas detection is safely carried out, there is a rugged suspension clip which can be fitted as standard to MSA ALTAIR pro so it can be securely attached to clothing.

There are three other clips available as options; the cell phone clip, the lanyard clip and also the hardhat clip.  

Easy to Read and Use

The gas detection monitor has a large numeric display which allows the user to view gas concentration, alarm conditions, battery status, set points and peak reading with accuracy and confidence.  To offer quick and easy access to all functions of the oxygen gas detector true single-button is in operation.  

By confirming “Gas Test” with a single button press, MSA ALTAIR Pro allows for a simple bump check, which will be recorded and displayed on the screen as a checkmark for 24 hours.  

The MSA ALTAIR Pro has a superior triple alarm system which consists of a distinctive audible alarm of 95 dB at 30cm, super bright LEDs visible from a 320° angle and a strong vibration alarm.  There is a distinctive difference between the High alarm sounds and the Low, TWA and STEL alarm.  This difference is also repeated for the visual alarm.  The numeric display of the ALTAIR gas detector also shows “LO” or “HI” alarm status.  

Data Logging

A highly comprehensive data logging facility is standard on ALTAIR Pro and  the 50 latest events, along with the peak gas reading are recorded in the session log every 3 minutes.  The data collected can be transferred to a PC using the multi-lingual MSA Link Software and ALTAIR Pro’s Infra-Red link.  This means the data can be assessed quickly and easily.  

Other Features 

The gas monitor’s alarms along with the response to a known gas concentration can be checked by ALTAIR QuickCheck by simply pressing the button and placing it onto the test station.  The test results are displayed on the three LEDs.  ALTAIR QuickCheck will be available either with automatic gas delivery system or manual regulator.  

The CR2 battery of the ALTAIR Pro is compact yet highly efficient and will run for over a year over a standard working week.  The batteries are commercially available and simple to replace and their status is continually displayed on the gas detector.  

The GALAXY automated record keeping and calibration test system is a completely stand alone system that does not require the use of a computer or network interface.  To allow multiple instruments to be simultaneously tested, calibrated and charged up to 10 GALAXY modules can be connected together and using an industry standard flash card over 1000 individual test records can be stored.  An optical wired connection is also available.
