The MSA 10128642 is a GALAXY GX2 Automated Test System configured to bump test and calibrate MSA ALTAIR 4X and 4XR multigas detectors automatically. It is a bench test stand: you dock the detector and testing starts automatically, with no buttons to press, guided by a color touch screen. It manages test and calibration records, flags detectors that pass or fail, and works as a stand-alone unit or as part of a networked fleet-management setup. This part number is the 1-Valve, No-Charging, North American configuration in black.

The MSA 10128642 GX2 test stand is built to test and calibrate the MSA ALTAIR 4X and 4XR multigas detectors (also compatible with the ALTAIR 4). It is model-specific: other GALAXY GX2 part numbers cover ALTAIR / ALTAIR PRO single-gas detectors and the ALTAIR 5X, so match the part number to the detector family you run. Confirm the exact detector model before ordering.

Yes. The GALAXY GX2 starts testing automatically the moment a detector is docked — no buttons to press — and is operated through a color touch screen. At-a-glance indicators show low calibration-gas volume, cylinder expiration warnings, and overall test-stand status. The interface and MSA Link Pro Software support 18 languages, which simplifies training and use across sites.

The MSA 10128642 GX2 Automated Test System is approved to UL 62368-1 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.62368-1, the North American electrical-safety standards for audio/video and information-technology equipment. These cover the electrical safety of the test-stand hardware.

"1 Valve" means the test stand is set up to draw from a single calibration-gas cylinder (the 4-Valve GX2 versions support 1–4 cylinders for multi-gas or multi-blend setups). "No-Charging" means this stand tests and calibrates the docked detector but does not charge its battery — MSA also offers charging versions if you want the stand to top up the instrument during docking. The 10128642 is the North American, black variant.

MSA Link Pro is the data-management software that pairs with the GALAXY GX2 for proactive safety management. It provides a dashboard overview, full record-keeping of tests and calibrations, gas-exposure email alerts, direct data input, live filtering, and test/exposure queries, plus report generation. It lets you collect and print records so you can prove compliance and track your detector fleet's history.

The GALAXY GX2 is optimized for MSA's XCell sensors and can deliver up to a 50% reduction in cost of ownership. Automated, one-touch bump testing and calibration cut labor time and calibration-gas waste, while MSA Link Pro record-keeping reduces the administrative burden of compliance. Combined with XCell sensor longevity, this lowers the total lifetime cost of running an ALTAIR 4X/4XR fleet.

The GX2 test stand ships pre-configured (plugs, barbs, fresh-air filter, power supply, spare-parts kit, Ethernet cable, and screen protector), but calibration gas and some accessories are sold separately. Common add-ons at Industrial Safety Products include the Electronic Cylinder Holder (part 10105756), the ALTAIR 4XR/4X Multi-Unit Charger (10127422), the Test Stand Printer (10127808), an SD Memory Card (10127111), and the appropriate 4-gas calibration-gas cylinder for your detector.

Yes. For teams running multiple ALTAIR 4X or 4XR multigas detectors, the GX2 10128642 automates the routine bump-test and calibration workflow, standardizes records through MSA Link Pro, and can be linked into a networked bank of stands for total fleet data access. Automatic testing, at-a-glance status indicators, and XCell-sensor optimization (up to 50% lower cost of ownership) make it well suited to high-volume, compliance-driven gas-detection programs.

The MSA 10128642 GX2 Auto Test System for ALTAIR 4X and 4XR is available from Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) with free shipping. It is sold under SKU 10128642 as the 1-Valve, No-Charging, North American configuration in black.
