FAQs:
How does the XCell Pulse Technology bump test work without gas?
The detector runs an automatic electronic pulse check against sensor catalyst and electrolyte integrity, followed by a quick exhaled breath test. An embedded oxygen sensor detects the drop in O2 from your breath to verify the flow path is clear.
What are the default alarm setpoints for this model?
This specific model (MPN 10153984) comes pre-configured with a Low Alarm at 10 ppm and a High Alarm at 15 ppm for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S).
What is the typical sensor life and warranty?
MSA XCell sensors feature a typical operating life of over four years (double the industry average). The detector chassis and electronics are backed by a 3-year standard warranty, and the H2S sensor is covered for 3 years.
Is the unit rugged enough for extreme field conditions?
Yes. The device features an IP67 rating against water and dust, a rubberized protective armor housing, passes a 25-foot drop test, and operates across extended temperature ranges from -40°C to +60°C.
