MSA Altair io 4 LTE Enabled Gas Monitor
MSA ALTAIR io 4
Connected Gas
Detection Wearable
Out of the box and into the cloud. Cellular connectivity, GPS location awareness, and automatic bump and calibration through the ALTAIR io DOCK — with every device, event, and test record streamed to MSA Grid from day one.
Built for turnarounds, plant maintenance, emergency response, and confined space entry
The MSA ALTAIR io™ 4 is a connected multigas detection wearable designed with fully integrated cellular connectivity, so your worksite has real-time visibility from day one. It monitors LEL, O₂, CO, and H₂S using MSA XCell® sensor technology, streams device data straight to your MSA Grid account, and updates over the air — no docking station required for firmware or configuration changes. At Jendco Safety Supply, the io 4 is backed by a complete ecosystem including the ALTAIR io DOCK, gas cylinder holder, and 5-device smart charger to simplify calibration, compliance, and fleet management.
Detect. Dock. Charge. Calibrate. Track.
A gas detection program that runs itself — less manual paperwork, better compliance visibility.
The ALTAIR io 4 ecosystem pairs the connected detector with the ALTAIR io DOCK automated test stand, a gas cylinder holder for organized calibration gas management, and a wall-mountable 5-bay smart charger. Together they standardize bump testing and calibration, mark devices as digitally returned the moment they hit the charger, and keep a deployment-ready fleet across crews, shifts, and job sites.
Designed with fully integrated connectivity for real-time visibility across your worksites from day one
The MSA ALTAIR io 4 is a connected gas detection wearable built for industrial worksites, turnarounds, and emergency response — combining LTE-M cellular connectivity, concurrent GNSS location awareness, and MSA's patented XCell® sensor technology in a package rated to survive the job.
- Automatic connectivity. Device data streams instantly and securely to the cloud, available anytime on MSA Grid.
- Over-the-air updates. One-click configuration and firmware changes pushed to the whole fleet.
- Automatic bump and calibration. Place the device on the ALTAIR io DOCK and the correct test starts on its own.
- MSA id™ digital device assignment. Built-in RFID reader ties every device to the right worker.
- Workproof durability. IP68, 26 drops from 4 ft (MIL-STD-810G), and survives an incidental 25 ft drop onto concrete.
- Always under warranty while covered by an active MSA+ subscription.
The complete ALTAIR io 4 workflow
Built to work as one system. The ALTAIR io 4 ecosystem simplifies gas detection programs with automated testing through the io DOCK, organized calibration gas management, and fleet-ready charging that digitally checks devices back in the moment they are returned.
