MSA: Connected Gas Detection for Confined Spaces
MSA Safety has expanded its connected worker-safety portfolio with the Altair io 6 Multigas Detector.
Designed for confined-space monitoring and pre-entry sampling, the portable detector can monitor up to six gases and is the company's first cellular-connected instrument with an integrated sampling pump.
The device connects directly to the cloud-based MSA Grid, giving safety teams real-time access to gas readings, alarms and device status. It also supports remote configuration and over-the-air updates. Swappable sensors and rechargeable batteries are intended to simplify maintenance and keep the instrument operational during longer assignments.
The detector has an IP65-rated housing, withstands drops from three metres and features a large display for use in demanding industrial environments. Target applications include utilities, construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, maintenance and emergency response.
