MSA Safety Works ALTAIR 2XP H₂S-PULSE Gas Detector – Charcoal
Product Overview
The MSA Safety Works ALTAIR 2XP is a compact personal gas detector designed specifically for monitoring hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). This model uses MSA's XCell Pulse Technology, which provides a built-in, stand-alone bump-test capability to help workers verify sensor response without needing calibration gas for the daily bump test.
The charcoal-colored detector is designed for demanding workplace environments where a lightweight and easy-to-operate H₂S monitor is required. MSA lists this configuration as part number 10153984, with factory-set H₂S alarm levels of 10 ppm low and 15 ppm high.
Key Features
H₂S-specific monitoring for hydrogen sulfide detection
XCell Pulse Technology for a convenient stand-alone bump test
No bottled gas required for the stand-alone daily bump test
Factory-set H₂S alarms: 10 ppm low and 15 ppm high
Large display for easy viewing of measured gas values
Bright LED, audible, and vibrating alarms
Compact and lightweight design for personal monitoring
Rugged rubberized construction for demanding work environments
IP67-rated dust and water protection
Intrinsically safe design, with approvals dependent on the specific configuration and market
H₂S Detection
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Detected Gas | Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) |
| Sensor Type | Electrochemical / XCell Pulse |
| Low Alarm | 10 ppm |
| High Alarm | 15 ppm |
| STEL | 15 ppm |
| TWA | 10 ppm |
| Measurement Range | 0–200 ppm |
| Resolution | 1 ppm |
| Typical Response Time (T90) | <15 seconds |
MSA's technical documentation lists 10 ppm and 15 ppm as the factory-set low and high H₂S alarm thresholds. The documented H₂S measurement range is 0–200 ppm with 1 ppm resolution.
XCell Pulse Technology
One of the main advantages of the ALTAIR 2XP over conventional gas detectors is its XCell Pulse system.
The detector can perform a stand-alone bump test of the H₂S sensor. This provides a simple way to check sensor response before use without the usual requirement for bottled calibration gas during the stand-alone bump-test procedure.
This feature is particularly useful for workers who need to perform regular functional checks in the field and want to reduce the equipment required for routine bump testing. MSA specifically identifies the ALTAIR 2XP as its ALTAIR 2X model incorporating XCell Pulse Technology.

Alarm System
The ALTAIR 2XP provides several types of alerts to help make an H₂S alarm noticeable in different working conditions:
Visual alarm: Two bright LEDs with approximately 320° viewing coverage
Audible alarm: Approximately 95 dB at 30 cm
Vibration alarm: Provides a tactile warning for the wearer
Display: Shows the measured H₂S concentration and instrument status
This combination is useful in environments where workers may not immediately notice a visual indicator or where background noise makes a conventional alarm harder to hear.
Rugged Design for Field Use
The ALTAIR 2X platform is built with an over-molded rubber armor housing and is designed for demanding industrial applications. MSA states that the platform can withstand multiple 25-foot drops onto concrete and provides IP67 dust and water protection.
Its compact 115 g form factor also makes it practical for personal monitoring throughout a work shift.
Typical Applications
The ALTAIR 2XP can be used in environments where hydrogen sulfide exposure may be a concern, including:
Confined-space entry
Oil and gas operations
Plant maintenance and turnarounds
Utilities
Construction
Mining
Fire service
Emergency response
General industrial operations
Other workplaces requiring personal H₂S monitoring
MSA identifies confined space, welding, firefighting, emergency response, and turnarounds/plant maintenance among the platform's applications, with utilities, construction, oil & gas, fire service, mining, and general industry among its markets.
Battery and Environmental Specifications
The detector uses a 3.6 V non-rechargeable lithium battery. MSA specifies an expected battery life of approximately 6 to 18 months, although actual life depends on device settings, environmental conditions, and usage.
The ALTAIR 2X technical data specifies:
Normal operating temperature: -10°C to 40°C
Extended operating range: -20°C to 50°C
Intrinsic-safety temperature range: -40°C to 60°C
Humidity: 15–90% RH non-condensing
Intermittent humidity: 5–95% RH
Atmospheric pressure: 80–120 kPa
Dust and spray protection: IP67
At temperatures below -20°C, MSA notes that the display may update slowly and become more difficult to read.
Important Safety Information
The ALTAIR 2XP is a professional gas-monitoring instrument and should be operated in accordance with MSA's instructions, applicable approvals, and workplace safety procedures.
The 10 ppm and 15 ppm values are the factory-set H₂S alarm thresholds for this configuration. They should not be interpreted as the sensor's complete measurement range.
Regular inspection, functional testing, calibration as required, and proper maintenance remain important. The stand-alone Pulse bump test is a convenient functional check, but it does not replace all required maintenance or calibration procedures.
Approvals can vary according to the specific part number and country. Always verify the approval marking on the actual instrument before use in a hazardous location.
Summary
The MSA Safety Works ALTAIR 2XP H₂S-PULSE Gas Detector is a lightweight, single-gas monitor designed for hydrogen sulfide detection. Its standout feature is XCell Pulse Technology, which provides a convenient stand-alone bump-test function without bottled gas for the daily functional check.
