Sicur 08: Altair 4 is the only gas detector on the market that incorporates an immobility sensor.

Sicur 08: Some workers have to face up to high risk situations on a daily basis because they are exposed to gas intoxication. For this group, MSA has developed one of the most resistant detectors of 4 gases available the new Altair 4, a portable multi-gas detector, the same size as a packet of cigarettes and that measures gases and combustible vapours, such as O2, H2S, CO.

It gives a loud localisation whistle if the person who is wearing it becomes unconscious.

The Immobility Warning is a unique characteristic in the world of portable gas detection and it is available as an option on the ALTAIR 4. When it is activated, this "dead man" alert with its movement detector, warns anyone in the surrounding area if the user is in danger, by way of LEDs and a penetrating acoustic alarm. The ALTAIR 4 has a three alarm system with high benefits, indication of confirmation test during 24 hours and an important data registration as standard.

The rechargeable battery gives up to 20 hours of continuous operation. With reliability as its main factor, the ALTAIR 4 is characterised by its extremely long-lasting rubber casing with protection [IP 67] against the entry of water and dust. A large alphanumerical screen allows users to see the gas concentrations, alarm conditions, battery status, adjustment levels and readings of peaks with accuracy and confidence. The intuitive operation with 3 buttons guarantees that the ALTAIR 4 is extremely easy to use, even when wearing gloves. The triple alarm system includes a distinctive alarm at 95 dB, a powerful vibratory alarm and ultra-shiny LEDs on the upper part and side to guarantee visibility from any angle. A specific LED clearly indicates that the unit is operating correctly with flashing every 15 seconds.

The simple testing of the detector's alarms using the response to known gas concentrations may be performed with the testing station "QuickCheck". Alternatively, if an autonomous system is required for automatic data collection, calibration, trial and recharging, the GALAXY is the perfect complement to the ALTAIR 4. The versatile ALTAIR 4 may be configured for personalised requirements that satisfy different applications as well as for the following industries: oil and gas, chemical, steel industry, services, firemen, sewage, civil engineering, marine, contractors, etc.
