Description
The ALTAIR® 4XR Multigas Detector is a rugged, high-performance 4-gas monitor engineered for demanding industrial environments. Equipped with rapid-response MSA XCell® sensors, it detects combustible gases (LEL), oxygen (O₂), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and carbon monoxide (CO) with exceptional speed and reliability. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, it delivers proven durability, simplified compliance checks, and dependable performance backed by a 4-year instrument and sensor warranty.
Key Features
Rapid-response XCell® sensors: Detect gases up to twice as fast as the industry average
Extreme durability: Survives 25 drops from 4 ft and incidental drops from 25 ft onto concrete
Wide operating temperature range: Functions from -40°F to +140°F (-40°C to +60°C)
Bump LED and on-screen checkmark: Enables quick visual compliance confirmation
Efficient bump and calibration process: Uses half the test gas and half the time compared to industry average
Scheduled calibration capability: Compatible with the MSA GALAXY® GX2 Automated Test System for time-of-day bump and calibration
MotionAlert feature: Signals when the user becomes immobile
InstantAlert manual alarm: User-activated alert for potentially dangerous situations
Intended Use
The ALTAIR® 4XR is designed for continuous atmospheric monitoring in hazardous locations where combustible or toxic gases and oxygen deficiencies may be present.
