Professional MSA ALTAIR 2XT portable gas detector with dual SO2/H2S-LC sensors, IP67 rating, rechargeable lithium battery, and rugged armoured design for reliable hazard detection in industrial environments.
The MSA ALTAIR 2XT is a professional-grade portable multi-gas detector specifically designed for sulphur dioxide (SO2) and low-concentration hydrogen sulphide (H2S-LC) detection applications. This advanced monitoring device features MSA's XCell two-tox sensor technology that detects two gases on distinct sensor channels with digital output, minimizing cross-channel interference for accurate readings. The detector is housed in durable rubberised armour that provides exceptional protection and has been tested to withstand a 25-foot drop test, ensuring reliability in demanding industrial environments.
Equipped with fast-responding sensors and an IP67 water and dust-tight rating, the ALTAIR 2XT excels in various work environments including low-light conditions. The device features a one-button operation with a large LCD monochrome display and back-lit screen (10-second adjustable time-out) that remains easy to use even when wearing gloves. Alarms include a 95 dB audible alert at 30cm, ultra-bright LEDs, and a standard vibrating alarm to ensure worker safety and immediate hazard awareness.
The ALTAIR 2XT is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery and operates across an extended temperature range from -20°C to +50°C, with extreme range capability from -40°C to +60°C. It features comprehensive data logging and event logging capabilities (>150 hours with 75 events) and includes visual sensor status, ppm level, and end-of-sensor life indicators on the display. The device comes with a 3-year warranty on both chassis/electronics and sensor, and holds multiple certifications including cCSAus Class I Div 1, ATEX FTZU II 2G Ex ia IIC T4, and IEC/Australia/New Zealand approvals.
