ALTAIR 2XP H2S Portable Detector from MSA is Finalist of the BSIF Product Innovation Awards 2016

Bump testing daily the detector is the only way to alert the user of a non-functioning sensor or of a blocked gas inlet. With the patented XCell Pulse Technology, MSA created a simple and inexpensive approach to bump testing. No need for bottled calibration gas anymore. Workers can bump the ALTAIR 2XP H2S detector anytime, anywhere.

When the detector passes the bump test , a green LED flashes every 15s. If bump fails or is due, a red LED flashes every 15s. The manager can easily see who has bumped and who has not. In addition, ALTAIR 2XP is powered by MSA XCell sensors, offering  the fastest response times that help to save lives - every 3 seconds in faster response time means the worker can escape an additional 10 meters from a hazardous environment. ALTAIR 2XP is IP67certified and, surviving multiple 7,5m drops onto concrete, it is the most robust detector on the market! For additional safety, it has a man-down alarm that warns others that user has become immobile.

And for HSE managers’ documentation, it features a memory that stores 300+ events and 40 days of periodic data.
