MSA – ALTAIR 2X Gas Detector
The MSA ALTAIR 2X is a smart, reliable gas detector that delivers high-performance monitoring without the high price tag. Designed for a wide range of industrial environments, it offers the fastest sensor response times on the market, so you can trust it to alert you quickly in the presence of hazardous gases.
For even greater flexibility, the ALTAIR 2XT model allows you to simultaneously detect two toxic gases—ideal for environments where multiple hazards are present. With advanced MSA sensor technology, you’ll benefit from exceptional accuracy, low calibration gas usage, and minimal maintenance.
Built-in compliance features ensure you stay audit-ready. The 2X series provides traceability for up to 75 alarm events and can store 100–150 hours of periodic data, depending on the model. Visual alerts such as a green LED flash every 15 seconds for bump pass, or red flash with no checkmark for fail or expiry, make it easy to check device status at a glance.
The ALTAIR 2XP also offers stand-alone bump testing, streamlining maintenance and boosting productivity without requiring additional equipment.
