The MSA ALTAIR® 4XR Multigas Detector (Part No. 10178560) is a rugged, high-performance portable gas detector designed for reliable monitoring of hazardous atmospheres in industrial and confined-space environments. It can simultaneously detect up to four gases, with sensor configurations available for gases such as LEL, oxygen (O₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S).
Built for demanding field conditions, the ALTAIR 4XR features durable MSA XCell® sensors, a rugged housing, MotionAlert™ immobility alarm, and InstantAlert™ manual panic alarm. Its advanced design withstands 25 drops from 1.2 m (4 ft) and incidental drops of up to 7.5 m (25 ft), making it suitable for challenging industrial applications.
