The MSA GX2 is an automated calibration and bump test station designed to support gas detector compliance on construction and civil engineering sites.
Automated Efficiency: Starts testing and calibration automatically as soon as an instrument is inserted, with no buttons required.
Smart Data Management: Includes a high-resolution colour touchscreen for intuitive setup and easy viewing of compliance records.
Proactive Safety Alerts: Provides at-a-glance visual indicators for low calibration gas levels, sensor expiration warnings, and station status.
Scalable Fleet Testing: Allows for simultaneous testing of up to ten instruments by connecting multiple test stands to a single power source.
Cost Reduction: optimised for MSA XCell sensors, potentially reducing the total cost of ownership by up to 50% through faster testing and less gas waste.
The GX2 is an automated station for bump testing and calibration of the ALTAIR gas detector fleet (4XR, 5X, and Single-Gas). Workers simply dock their unit at the start of a shift, and the system automatically performs the necessary tests to confirm the device is safe for use.
How does “Touch-Free” testing improve project efficiency?
Efficiency is gained through total automation; the GX2 starts testing immediately upon docking without any button presses. It can test up to 10 units simultaneously, allowing an entire crew to verify their monitors in seconds and preventing morning bottlenecks that could delay the start of work.
How does the GX2 prevent project delays caused by flat batteries?
The GX2 can include integrated charging cradles, serving as a high-speed “dock and charge” station. This ensures a rotating fleet of fully charged units is always available, eliminating the risk of workers reaching restricted areas with dead monitors and keeping the project schedule on track.
How does the system manage calibration gas?
The GX2 uses Electronic Cylinder Holders with RFID technology to automatically read gas type, expiration, and pressure levels. It provides visual warnings when gas is low, allowing site office teams to replace cylinders before they run out to ensure continuous safety compliance.
Can the GX2 be used as a standalone unit without a network?
Yes. In temporary site offices without established IT networks, the GX2 works as a standalone system. It features a full-colour touchscreen and internal memory to store test records, which can be retrieved later for auditing or safety reporting.
