ALTAIR 4 X Multigas Detector Its whats inside

ALTAIR® 4 X Multigas Detector It’s what’s inside that counts!

Our Vision of Safety Built on Durability – Based on tough Altair 4 Multigas Detector Powered by Performance – New High Performance XCell™ Sensors

XCell Technology § Typical life >= 4 Years – 60% longer sensor life than the industry average – Standard 3 year warranty § XCell-erated response time, clear time, bump test – 38% faster response time than the industry average – Typical <= 15 seconds § Typical cost of ownership savings > 50% – Longer sensor life and fast response – 50% less calibration gas used per minute than industry average § Embedded microelectronics elevate performance – Each sensor has a microprocessor and digital output

Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) § Industry 1 st! Every XCell Sensor has an embedded ASIC! – Microprocessor, memory, and all circuitry to drive the sensor – Digital output § Way beyond a “Smart Sensor” – Competitor’s “Smart Sensors” have a passive memory chip to store gas type, serial number, initial sensor settings, etc…. – The MSA ASIC drives the sensor, actively compensates the output, and coverts it into a digital signal. § Benefit – Higher performing sensors with greater stability

XCell O 2 Sensor Life § Most Other O 2 Sensors (Typical Life <= 2 years) – Use a consumable chemical reaction – Filled with lead which is converted to lead oxide – Sensor dies as lead is depleted (limited shelf life) § XCell O 2 Sensor (Typical Life >= 4 years) – Non-consuming chemical reaction (No lead) – O 2 reduced to water and then oxidized back to O 2 – Vastly increased shelf life

XCell Ex Sensor Life § Most Other LEL Sensors (Typical Life = 2 years) – End of life caused by slow poisoning • Poisoned by silicon, sulphur, or lead containing compounds – End of life can also result from a large physical shock § XCell Ex Sensor (Typical Life = 4 years) – Two detectors double the active life of the sensor – Only one detector is catalytically active at a time – Metal alloy support rod added to increase durability

XCell CO/H 2 S Sensor Life § Most Other CO/H 2 S Sensors (Life = 2 -3 years) – Chemical poisoning of the electrode material – Loss of sensitivity due to electrolyte drying out § XCell CO/H 2 S Sensor (Typical Life >= 4 years) – Increased active sites on electrodes • Increase sensitivity • Reduce the effects of poisoning – Robust carbon filter to protect the CO electrode – Expansion electrolyte well minimizes drying effect

Response Times Significantly Faster Than the Competition! § Span Calibration: 60 sec § Bump Test: < 15 sec § Combustible sensor t 90 <10 seconds (Methane) t 90 <15 seconds (Pentane) § Oxygen sensor t 90 < 10 seconds § CO sensor t 90 < 15 seconds § H 2 S sensor t 90 < 15 seconds

XCell Sensor § Designed and built by MSA – MSA IS Advancing Sensor Technology! – Our sensors are designed for OUR instruments! – We have the experts to support YOU!
