  1. ALTAIR® 5X Multigas Detector It’s what’s inside that counts!

  2. Our Vision of Safety Built on Durability • Based on tough Altair 5 Multigas Detector Powered by Performance • New High Performance XCell® Sensors Flexible to Meet Your Needs • Interchangeable sensor slots, Multilingual, MSA LogoExpress™

  3. XCell Sensor Review XCell Sensor Platform • Standardized MSA Sensors with added value • Same Physical Size and Digital Output • Longer Life / Fast Response & Clear Times / More Durable • Higher Performance Over Wide Range of: Temp, RH, & Pressure • Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)in each sensor • A brain in every sensor to control and compensate

  4. New XCell Sensors for SO2, Cl2, NH3 Patent-Pending Electrolyte System Extended Sensor Life > 4 years on SO2, >3 years on NH3, Cl2 60% longer sensor life than the industry average Standard 3 year warranty on SO2, 2-year warranty on NH3, Cl2 XCell-erated response time, clear time, bump test >200% faster response time than industry average T90 response times of 10 seconds SO2, 40 seconds NH3, 30 seconds Cl2 Typical cost-of-ownership savings > 50% Longer sensor life and fast response 40% less calibration gas used per minute than industry average

  5. XCell Ex Sensor Review • XCell Ex - Catalytic Combustible Sensor • 4-Year Life, Fast Response, Very Durable • Only industry sensor with two detector beads (Patent Pending) • Only one bead active at a time – doubles working life of sensor • Patent-Pending metal alloy support wire for increased durability • More poison resistance to silicones and sulfur compounds • Fast T(90) response time, Typical < 10 sec CH4

  6. XCell O2 Sensor Review • XCell O2 - Oxygen Sensor • >4-Year Life, Fast Response, Very Durable • Long life from patent-pending “Lead Free” sensor design • Nothing is consumed in the chemical reaction • Most other sensors die at 2-years when enough lead is converted • XCell sensor works so well because of the ASIC control • Fast T(90) response time, Typical < 10 sec O2

  7. XCell CO/H2S Sensor Review • XCell CO/H2S - CO & H2S Two-Tox Sensor • >4-Year Life, Fast Response, Very Durable • Patent-Pending design eliminates cross-channel interference • Common problem with other two-tox sensors • Very high sensitivity in a small package • Robust carbon filter on CO channel to block VOCs • Fast T(90) response time, Typical < 15 sec CO or H2S

  8. XCell vs. Existing SO2 Sensors • Most SO2 Sensors on the Market Today: • Published 1-2 year life, with corresponding warranty • Tend to dry out in low RH • Are slower and require long calibrations of 2-4 minutes • MSA’S XCell SO2 Sensor: • 4-year life, standard 3-year warranty (0-20ppm Range) • New patent-pending electrolyte system • Non-consuming chemical reaction, doesn’t dry out • Very Fast Typical T(90) < 10 sec • Calibration time of 60 seconds • Industry first “Big 5” calibration w/ one cylinder

  9. XCell vs. Existing NH3 Sensors • Most NH3 Sensors on the Market Today: • Published 1-2 years life, with corresponding warranty • Consuming chemical reaction, lose life with NH3 exposure • Lots of issues with humidity transients / False Alarms • Are slower and require long calibrations of 3-4 minutes • MSA’S XCell NH3 Sensor: • 3-year life and standard 2-year warranty (0-100ppm Range) • New patent-pending electrolyte system (Non-consuming) • Self recovers from NH3 exposures, does not lose life • Not suitable for continuous NH3 exposure • No issues with humidity transients • Fast T(90) < 40 sec, Calibration time = 2 min

  10. XCell vs. Existing Cl2 Sensors • Most Cl2 Sensors on the Market Today: • Published 1-2 years life, with corresponding warranty • Consuming chemical reaction, lose life with Cl2 exposure • Tend to dry out in low RH • Are slower and require long calibrations of 3-4 minutes • MSA’S XCell NH3 Sensor: • 3-year life and standard 2-year warranty (0-10ppm Range) • New patent-pending electrolyte system (Non-consuming) • Very high initial sensitivity, more than twice current Cl2 sensor • Doesn’t dry out • Fast T(90) < 30 sec, Calibration time = 90 sec

  11. Response Times Significantly Faster Than the Competition! EX sensor t90 < 10 seconds (CH4) O2 sensor t90 < 10 seconds CO sensor t90 < 15 seconds H2S sensor t90 < 15 seconds SO2 sensor t90 <10 seconds NH3 sensor t90 < 40 seconds Cl2 sensor t90 < 30 seconds

  12. XCell Sensor Designed and built by MSA MSA IS Advancing Sensor Technology! Our sensors are designed for OUR instruments! We have the experts to support YOU!

  13. MSA IR Sensor vs. Existing IR sensors • Most IR Sensors on the Market Today: • Absorb IR Light by the C-H bonds (“hydro carbons”) of molecules • Mirror doubles path length; can condense with temperature changes • Condensation absorbs some of the light; can cause false readings • MSA IR Sensor: • Does not use a mirror! • Lamp and detector are placed in-line • Minimal false readings

  14. Altair 5X Multigas Detector Only Instrument in its class with internally integrated pump!
