2 Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the GALAXY GX2 Automated Test System, the next generation
Test Stand and instrument management system from MSA. This system is used exclusively with
the ALTAIR
®
family of gas detectors. This manual uses the terms instrument and gas detector
to represent that entire line of ALTAIR gas detection instruments.
In this manual the user will learn to install and configure the GALAXY GX2 Test Stand and optional
attachments, and test gas detectors. Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Technical Specifications
sections are also provided.
The Test Stand uses a sophisticated internal processor and simple to use touch screen display
for the configuration of calibration parameters and gas detector settings, and for gathering instru-
ment data.
Each Test Stand and optional attachments can be wall or desk mounted to serve the needs of the
user. Constructed of durable composite polymers, this equipment is designed for normal indoor
applications and operates within a broad temperature range of 0º to 40ºC in non-condensing hu-
midity atmospheres.
The principal components of the GALAXY GX2 include the Test Stand and optional electronic or
non-electronic Cylinder Holder, Multi-Unit Charger, and Receipt/ Sticker Printer. These compo-
nents [ Fig. 1] are designed to be attached (excluding the printer), to avoid accidental separation
during operation.
