ALTAIR io 6 Multigas Detector
The ALTAIR io 6 Multigas Detector is purpose-built for industrial worksites and emergency responses, offering outstanding simplicity, powerful sampling capabilities, durability, and ease of use at its core. Unlike wearable gas detectors with snap-on sampling accessories, the ALTAIR io 6 features a built-in pump, 6-gas capability, out-of-box connectivity, and a large high-visibility screen for easy reading under a variety of worksite conditions. Designed to perform throughout the full shift—day in and day out—the ALTAIR io 6 features easy serviceability to maximize uptime, and offers seamless out-of-box connectivity to the MSA Grid to enhance worker and worksite visibility, data access, compliance, and operational accountability.
- Fully integrated pump,compatible with existing MSA sampling accessories
- Highly visible, large display with user friendly grips designed for single hand operation
- LTE-M cellular connectivity allows for seamless integration with the MSA Grid
- Real-time visibility plus remote configuration capabilities for over-the-air set up and enhanced maintenance
- Built tough with IP65 and 10 ft. (3 m) drop test rating
- Swappable sensors and batteries for easy change-out during lengthy applications
Battery & Charging
- Battery:Removable and Rechargeable
- Charge Time: Typical full charge is 6.5 hours at room temperature
- Charging Temperature Range: 0°C-40°C
- Battery Life: 16 hours typical: 13 hours with PID sensor
- Actual battery run-time will vary depending on factors including cellular coverage, GPS coverage, ambient temperature, usage, active alerts, acknowledgment delay of alerts, location changes, RFID reading, gas readings, device navigation, battery age, and battery cycles.
Durability
- Exceeds 26 drops from 4 feet (1.2 m) (MIL-STD-810G 516.6 Transit Drop)
- Capable of surviving an incidental 10 foot (3 m) drop onto concrete
- Survives 60 minutes in NFPA 1982-2018 tumble tester
- Dust and waterproof IP65 rating

ALTAIR io™ Dock
Ensure your workforce has the latest in safety technology with the ALTAIR io Dock for the ALTAIR io4 and ALTAIR io6Add Your Heading Text Here
The io Dock enables effortless calibration and bump testing which helps to improve compliance and safety. When in the io Dock, the Altair io4 and Altair io6 portable gas detector knows when it needs a bump test and immediately runs the appropriate test.
When the Altair io4 or Altair io6 are in the Dock, all compliance reporting is sent immediately to your MSA Grid account, helping to minimize the risks associated with manual record keeping or data file management.
- Simultaneous testing of multiple detectors and sensor configurations
- Test bank can include up to three cylinder holders and 10 test stands with no messy calibration gas tubing
- Gas Cylinders can be RFID-enabled or manually configured
- Cylinder Holder LEDs provide Light band indication of low, empty, or expired calibration gas
- No networking required for compliance reporting to the cloud-based MSA Grid account
- The display indicates current Bank status including current cylinder expiration and pressure in PSI or Bar, while Test Stand LEDs and display indicates current test and test stand status
- The io Dock leverages the ALTAIR io connectivity for fast, correct test system setup with no complex user-interface
- Test Modes include: Bump test only, Calibration only, Bump test with calibration on failure of bump, and Smart Mode – Dock will perform a bump test or calibration as required by the Grid-configured gas detector settings without user intervention
