Multigas detector complete kit for detection of hazardous gases

MSA Altair 4X Multigas Detector with Universal Sampling Pump and Carrying Case

Ensure maximum safety in confined spaces with the Altair 4X Multigas Detector kit from MSA, featuring a high-performance universal sampling pump.

The Altair 4X Multigas Detector by MSA is the ultimate reference for workers operating in hazardous environments. Powered by patented MSA XCell sensor technology, this monitor provides an industry-leading response time and a lifespan significantly longer than standard sensors.

This professional kit is specifically designed for atmospheric testing prior to confined space entry. It includes the 4-gas monitor, a universal sampling pump, a 34L calibration gas cylinder, and a heavy-duty carrying case to protect your equipment on-site.

The Altair 4X provides reliable and continuous monitoring of four primary gases: Oxygen (O₂), Combustible gases (LEL), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S)..

Manufacturer code: 10178357

This item is only available as a special order. Please allow a lead time of 2 to 3 weeks.

The kit includes:

• 1 MSA Altair 4X multigas detector (model 10107602) with charger
• 1 universal pump probe (model 10046528)
• 1 calibration gas cylinder, 34 L (model 10048280)
• 1 regulator and tubing (model 467895)
• 1 black plastic carrying case, 51 cm x 38 cm x 15 cm (20” x 15” x 6”)

This type of tool is usually used for work in confined spaces and for the detection of explosive or hazardous gas leaks. This device is class 482801 and class 482881 CSA approved by Canadian and American standards.

Key Advantages of the MSA Altair 4X:

• XCell Sensor Technology: Ultra-fast response and recovery times (under 15 seconds) and a sensor life of over 4 years.

• Proven Durability: Rugged over-molded housing capable of surviving a 20-foot (6-meter) drop onto concrete.

• Triple Alarm System: High-impact 95 dB audible alarm, bright flashing LEDs, and a strong vibrating alarm.

• Full Compliance: Certified CSA Class I, Division 1 (Groups A, B, C, D), meeting OSHA and CNESST safety requirements.

• IP67 Rating: Completely dust-tight and waterproof, designed for the harshest industrial conditions.

Technical Specifications:

• Detected Gases: O₂, LEL, CO, H₂S.

• Battery Life: Up to 24 hours of continuous operation.

• Datalogging: Stores over 500 events and 50 hours of periodic data.

• Included in Kit: Carrying case, 34L calibration gas cylinder, universal pump, and charger.

Please note the equipment must always be verified and tested before each use. This type of test is called a "bump test". To perform a bump test, use the (DETEC4GR) pressure gauge and the (DETEC4GG) gas cylinders included in the kit. Calibration by a specialized firm is required every 6 months.

Detector dimensions:

Length 4.4" x Width 3.0" x Height 1.31"
(Length 11.2 cm x Width 7.6 cm x Height 3.3 cm)
Detector weight: 224 g (7.9 oz)

Sylprotec Expert Advice

"To ensure worker safety in confined spaces, a detector alone isn't enough. Using the included sampling pump is critical: it allows you to test the atmosphere before entry. Always remember that a Bump Test is recommended before every shift to verify sensor performance and alarm functionality."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why choose MSA XCell sensors over standard sensors?

A: XCell sensors offer exceptional stability and a response time twice as fast as the industry average, alerting you to danger much sooner.

Q: Does the kit include everything needed for calibration?

A: Yes, the kit includes a 34L gas cylinder. Please note that a formal calibration by a certified technician is still required every 6 months.

Q: Is the Altair 4X impact-resistant?

A: Absolutely. Its rubberized housing is specifically designed for the toughest construction and industrial environments.
