ALTAIR 4 gas monitor measures O2, H2S, CO and combustible gas simultaneously

(16/12/2008)

Gas exposure is not something to be sniffed at, at home or when running a business. At the lower end of the scale you could suffer with headaches, dizziness and nausea, those who ignore the signs and put workers at risk could face a civil law suit or even worst the guilt of causing death by neglect.

Sales and marketing director at Total Protection UK, Mark Haylett said, “There has never been a better time to invest in gas detection equipment, and at Total Protection we realise how important this is, hence why we are proud to introduce the ALTAIR 4 from the MSA Safety company as the latest addition to our health and safety equipment line.”

Gas detection is necessary in whatever industry you are in and extremely important to prevent exposure to gas and thus reducing the likelihood of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning or fire and explosion.

The new ALTAIR 4 gas monitor is one of the most rugged 4 gas detectors available. Not only is it extremely easy-to-use it also measures O2, H2S, CO and combustible gas simultaneously, for easy use and peace of mind.

Mr Haylett added, “The ALTAIR 4 is unique in that it offers the customer with MotionAlert, which is revolutionary in the world of portable gas detection and is available as an option on the ALTAIR 4. When enabled, this man-down alarm with motion detector alerts anyone in the vicinity if the user is in distress with a high visibility LEDs and a piercing audible alarm. This gas monitor really is cutting edge and something that we are proud to be able to offer our customers with.”

The user can also alert anyone nearby with a three-second button press, activating the InstantAlert alarm. The ALTAIR 4 comes with a high performance triple alarm system, 24-hour bump test checkmark and comprehensive data-logging facility as standard, making it a highly desirable piece of health and safety equipment to have in any industry.

Whether you work in the oil & gas industry, with chemicals, steel & iron, utilities, Fire Service, waste water, civil engineering or the contracting sector, the versatile ALTAIR 4 gas monitor can be configured for each of these individual requirements.

Simple testing of the detector’s alarms along with the testing of the monitors response to a known gas concentration, can be carried out by the QuickCheck test station.
