3o Trimestre 16 Protección Laboral 88 The International Maritime Organization (IMO) circular MSC.1/Circ.1485 requires, from 1 July 2016, all SOLAS applicable vessels to carry portable gas detectors for monitoring enclosed spaces. As a minimum, these detectors shall be capable to measuring concentrations of O2, ammable gases or vapours, H2S & CO. In addition, suitable means shall be provided for the onboard calibration of all such instruments. Altair 5X Multigas Detector with integrated pump & Galaxy GX2 Automated Test Stand are the perfect solution to comply with the new amendment of SOLAS Agreement. (SOLAS stands for Safety of Life at Sea). The Altair 5X Gas Detector is capable of measuring up to 6 gases simultaneously. Driven by advanced MSA XCell® Sensor Technology, the Altair 5X Gas Detector delivers faster response time, better stability, accuracy, longer service life and cost savings over the life of the instrument. The Altair 5X Multigas Detector offers these exclusive features: -Endurance to falls of 3 meters onto concrete, in addition to being perfect for the harshest conditions, like the marine environments. -Fast sensor response & clear times < 15 seconds for common sensor con gurations. -Typical sensor life > 4 years for most XCell and IR sensors. -Approval agency-certi ed IP 65 rating. -Rechargeable battery with 18H runtime -Exclusive MotionAlert and InstantAlert additional safety alarms. -Multilingual capabilities: up to 18 languages available. -Numerous additional exotic sensors available to cover most vessels detection needs. -Bluetooth connectivity will allow customers to leverage existing infrastructure improving both safety and productivity at their pace -MSA’s standard instrument warranty including sensors and rechargeable battery is 3 years (LEL, O2, CO, H2S, SO2, NO2 XCell sensors and IR), with a 2-year warranty on NH3 and Cl2 XCell sensors. No manufacturer on the market offers such long and complete warranties. Simplicity counts with the MSA Galaxy® GX2 Automated Test System for advanced safety management and effortless operation. The Automated Test System provides simple, intelligent testing and calibration of MSA Altair®, Altair 2X and Altair PRO Single-Gas Detectors and Altair 4X and Altair 5X Multigas Detectors. Easy-to-use automated test stand offers high performance as either stand-alone unit or integrated portable detector management system, enabling total data access and control of the MSA Altair family Gas Detector eet. Other inherent bene ts are: new MSA LinkTM Pro Software for proactive safety management; gas exposure email alerts, direct data input, live ltering, test and exposure queries, collecting and printing reports.
