XCell vs. Existing SO 2 Sensors • Most SO 2 Sensors on the Market Today: – Published 1 -2 year life, with corresponding warranty – Tend to dry out in low RH – Are slower and require long calibrations of 2 -4 minutes • MSA’S XCell SO 2 Sensor: – 4 -year life, standard 3 -year warranty (0 -20 ppm Range) – New patent-pending electrolyte system • Non-consuming chemical reaction, doesn’t dry out – Very Fast Typical T(90) < 10 sec – Calibration time of 60 seconds – Industry first “Big 5” calibration w/ one cylinder

XCell vs. Existing NH 3 Sensors • Most NH 3 Sensors on the Market Today: – – Published 1 -2 years life, with corresponding warranty Consuming chemical reaction, lose life with NH 3 exposure Lots of issues with humidity transients / False Alarms Are slower and require long calibrations of 3 -4 minutes • MSA’S XCell NH 3 Sensor: – 3 -year life and standard 2 -year warranty (0 -100 ppm Range) – New patent-pending electrolyte system (Non-consuming) • Self recovers from NH 3 exposures, does not lose life • Not suitable for continuous NH 3 exposure – No issues with humidity transients – Fast T(90) < 40 sec, Calibration time = 2 min

XCell vs. Existing Cl 2 Sensors • Most Cl 2 Sensors on the Market Today: – – Published 1 -2 years life, with corresponding warranty Consuming chemical reaction, lose life with Cl 2 exposure Tend to dry out in low RH Are slower and require long calibrations of 3 -4 minutes • MSA’S XCell NH 3 Sensor: – 3 -year life and standard 2 -year warranty (0 -10 ppm Range) – New patent-pending electrolyte system (Non-consuming) • Very high initial sensitivity, more than twice current Cl 2 sensor • Doesn’t dry out – Fast T(90) < 30 sec, Calibration time = 90 sec

Response Times Significantly Faster Than the Competition! • EX sensor t 90 < 10 seconds (CH 4) • O 2 sensor t 90 < 10 seconds • CO sensor t 90 < 15 seconds • H 2 S sensor t 90 < 15 seconds • SO 2 sensor t 90 <10 seconds • NH 3 sensor t 90 < 40 seconds • Cl 2 sensor t 90 < 30 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!

MSA IR Sensor vs. Existing IR sensors • Most IR Sensors on the Market Today: – Absorb IR Light by the C-H bonds (“hydro carbons”) of molecules – Mirror doubles path length; can condense with temperature changes – Condensation absorbs some of the light; can cause false readings • MSA IR Sensor: – Does not use a mirror! – Lamp and detector are placed in-line – Minimal false readings

Altair 5 X Multigas Detector Only Instrument in its class with internally integrated pump! Multi-gas monitor – Detects up to 6 gases: combustible, O 2, H 2 S, CO, SO 2, CO 2 & additional toxic gases – – Rechargeable lithium-ion battery Alkaline pack available as an accessory Color or monochrome display option Multilingual
