MSA ALTAIR 4X Multi Gas Detector (LEL,O2,CO,H2S,NO2,SO2)
The ALTAIR 4X is a reliable multi-gas detector that measures 1 to 4 gases O2, H2S, CO, NO2, SO2 and combustible gas. A rugged housing provides unsurpassed durability, including the ability to survive 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 low-light conditions. A full range of accessories is available.
The real strength of the ALTAIR 4X Multigas Detector comes from new sensor technology. MSA XCell Sensors double the industry average, and are engineered using MSA’s proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design. The sensors’ controlling electronics is miniaturized and placed inside the sensor itself.
Superior stability, accuracy, repeatability and fast response characterize 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.

Features & Benefits
MSA XCell Sensors
- Standard response and clear times
less than 15 seconds
- Outstanding signal stability and
repeatability under changing or
extreme environmental conditions
- Typical life greater than 4 years
- End-of-sensor-life indication
reducing instrument downtime and
reducing inventory
MotionAlert feature
Triggers an alarm if the user remains motionless for 20 seconds, indicating possible "man down"
InstantAlert feature
Allows users to manually activate all alarms to alert others to a potentially hazardous situation
Triple alarm system
Clear visual, audible and vibration alarm notification
Large LCD
Clear, easy and concise readings at a glance
24 hour bump-test checkmark
Confirms the detector recently passed a gas response check
Rugged rubberised housing
Withstands 6 m drop
IP 67 rated by a 3rd party
Resists water and dust ingress
Li-polymer battery
Optimum usage time (24 hrs) with minimum charging time means you can buy fewer instruments to cover long shifts
Glow-in-the-dark case (optional)
Allows high visibility, increasing the safety at confined spaces, mining and other dark environments
QuickCheck Test Station compatible
Allows automatic bump testing of unit with a simple PASS or FAIL indication, helping to reduce human error. All test records are stored and can be retrieved as needed using MSA Link Software
MSA Link Software-compatible
When connected to MSA Link Software, all stored records can be accessed. Print capability for calibration reports, alarm set point changes etc. is offered in multiple languages
Event log/data log
Records up to 500 events for a quick overview of calibration records and alarms. If more details are required, a full data log can be assessed
Ergonomic design with large rubberised buttons
Ensures easy operation, even with gloves
MSA XCell Sensors
- Lower cost of ownership due to
less gas required (faster calibration
and bump check times) and longer
sensor life
- 3-year standard warranty (up to 4 years, optional)
GALAXY System compatible
Allows for automatic testing, calibration, and record keeping for up to 10 units simultaneously, helping to reduce human error
Auto calibration
Saves time and calibration gas by calibrating all sensors simultaneously
