November 1st 2007

With the new Altair 4, MSA has developed a rugged 4 gas detectors that is easy-to-use. It measures O2, H2S, CO and combustible gas simultaneously. MotionAlert is a feature that is available as an option on the Altair 4. When enabled, this man-down alarm with motion detector alerts anyone in the vicinity if the user is in distress with a high visibility LEDs and a piercing audible alarm. The Altair 4 comes with a high performance triple alarm system, 24 hour bump test check-mark and comprehensive data-logging facility as standard. The rechargeable battery provides up to 20 hours of continuous operation.

With reliability a key factor, Altair 4 is features a durable rubberized housing for water and dust ingress protection (IP 67).

A large numeric display allows users to view gas concentration, alarm conditions, battery status, set points and peak reading with accuracy and confidence.

An intuitive 3 button operation ensures the Altair 4 is easy to use, even when wearing gloves.

The triple alarm system includes a distinctive 95dB alarm, strong vibrating alarm and super-bright LEDs on the top and bottom to ensure visibility from all angles. A separate LED shows the unit is operating correctly by flashing every 15 seconds.

Simple testing of the detector's alarms along with response to a known gas concentration can be carried out by the 'QuickCheck' test station. Alternatively, if a stand-alone automated record keeping, calibration, testing and charging system is required, Galaxy offers the solution.
