MSA ALTAIR io™ 6 Pumped 4-Gas Detector (LEL, O₂, CO & H₂S) | SKU 10255038

The MSA ALTAIR io™ 6 Pumped Multi-Gas Detector is MSA Safety's next-generation connected portable gas detector, designed to protect workers in confined spaces and hazardous industrial environments. Equipped with an integrated sampling pump, LTE-M cellular connectivity, GPS location tracking, and seamless MSA Grid cloud integration, the ALTAIR io 6 provides continuous real-time gas monitoring while improving worker visibility and safety.

This configuration (SKU 10255038) monitors the four gases most commonly required for personal protection:

• Combustible Gases (LEL)

• Oxygen (O₂)

• Carbon Monoxide (CO)

• Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S)

Unlike traditional portable gas detectors that require a separate sampling pump, the ALTAIR io 6 features a built-in pump for remote sampling in a compact, ergonomic design. The detector automatically transmits gas readings, alarms, location, and instrument status through LTE-M cellular connectivity to the MSA Grid Connected Worker Platform, allowing safety managers to monitor personnel and detector fleets from virtually anywhere.
