FAQ – Altair 2X Gas Leak Detector
What gases can the Altair 2X detect?
The Altair 2X is designed to detect combustible gases and toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). With a sensor range of 0–200 ppm for H₂S and advanced combustible monitoring, it provides reliable detection for a wide range of hazardous atmospheres.
How accurate is the device?
This detector offers a high-resolution reading of 1 ppm, allowing workers to identify even minor gas leaks quickly. Its precision contributes to better decision-making and enhanced safety in environments where gas exposure is a risk.
Does the detector work in extreme temperatures?
Yes. The Altair 2X operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to +60°C). This makes it suitable for harsh outdoor conditions, industrial facilities, confined spaces, and cold-storage environments.
How long does the sensor last?
The Altair 2X features MSA’s XCell sensor technology, which delivers an impressive expected sensor life of four years. This longer lifespan helps reduce maintenance costs and minimizes downtime associated with frequent sensor replacement.
Do I need calibration gas for bump tests?
Not necessarily. One of the standout features of the Altair 2X is its ability to perform a stand-alone bump test without bottled calibration gas. This simplifies maintenance and helps ensure the detector remains in proper working condition.
Is this device compatible with standard MSA calibration products?
Yes. The Altair 2X is fully compatible with MSA calibration gas and MSA testing equipment. For formal calibration procedures, using MSA calibration gas ensures optimal performance and compliance.
Who should use the Altair 2X Gas Leak Detector?
This device is ideal for oil and gas workers, utility crews, industrial maintenance teams, wastewater professionals, chemical processing staff, and anyone working in environments with potential combustible or toxic gas hazards.
