introducing the altair 2X gas detector from mSa; the first one or two gas detector that incorporates industry-leading Xcell Sensor technology to deliver unparalleled performance while drastically minimizing total cost of ownership, increasing durability and delivering enhanced worker safety, compliance and traceability. the altair 2X is also the first portable gas detector to introduce revolutionary Xcell pulse technology. based on proven science and advanced patented sensor capabilities, the altair 2Xp detector delivers the world's first stand-alone bump test. this allows a daily bump test to be performed without the need for calibration accessories or specific calibration gas.
With our patented Xcell pulse technology, we have created a simple and inexpensive approach to bump testing. Years of scientific research, patented sensor interrogation technology and proprietary sensor response methodologies have delivered the world's first gas detector with a stand-alone bump test. Simply put; the use of calibration accessories or bottled calibration gas is not required for bump testing the altair 2Xp gas detector. How does it work? When the detector is turned on, it automatically begins an electronic pulse check that activates the sensor catalyst and electrolyte interaction and makes minor corrections against prior calibration values. next the user completes a flow check by exhaling toward the sensor inlet. an oxygen detector embedded in the sensor, that is only active during the pulse and flow check, detects the drop in oxygen content of exhaled breath. if both of these checks pass, the detector passes the bump test.
