Yes. The MSA 10152669 Altair Pump Probe is a rugged, handheld motorized sampling pump that converts a diffusion-style MSA detector into a remote sampling system, drawing air samples from up to 50 ft (15 m) away — ideal for confined-space entry, tanks, manholes, and vessels where you need to check the atmosphere before entering. It is intrinsically safe (Ex ia IIC T4 Gb, Class I Division 1 Groups A, B, C, D), has audible and visual flow alarms that warn of a blocked line, and runs 30+ hours on its rechargeable Li-ion battery. Combustible-gas performance is CSA C22.2 No. 152 approved with the Altair 4X. It ships with a North American charger and free shipping from Industrial Safety Products.

The MSA 10152669 Altair Pump Probe is intrinsically safe and rated Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C and D (Tcode T4), certified to CAN/CSA-C22.2, with an intrinsic-safety marking of Ex ia IIC T4 Gb over an ambient range of -20 °C to +50 °C. It also carries the ANSI/ISA-12.13.01-2000 performance standard. Combustible-gas performance is approved under CSA C22.2 No. 152 when used with the Altair 4X.

The MSA 10152669 Altair Pump Probe is a handheld, motorized gas-sampling pump that attaches to an MSA Altair diffusion gas detector to pull air samples from a remote location back to the instrument's sensors. A wand or sample line connects to the pump inlet, and a 1 m (3 ft) coiled tube connects the pump outlet to the detector. It draws about 250 mL/min, with a sample delay of roughly 1 second per 0.3 m (1 ft) of line, and it can sample from up to 50 ft (15 m) away. Flow, battery, and charge LEDs plus an audible alarm (>90 dB) alert the user to blocked flow, low battery, or charging status.

Yes. The MSA 10152669 Altair Pump Probe is intrinsically safe, marked Ex ia IIC T4 Gb and rated Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C and D, so it can be used in classified hazardous locations where flammable gases or vapors may be present. Important limitation: the device must be charged in non-hazardous (safe) areas only — never recharge it in a combustible atmosphere. Its static-dissipative rubber over-mold and IP65 housing further support safe operation in demanding field conditions.

The MSA 10152669 Altair Pump Probe is designed for use with the MSA Altair 2X, Altair 4X, Altair 4XR, and Altair io4 gas detectors. Note that MSA's combustible-gas performance approval (CSA C22.2 No. 152) is validated specifically with the Altair 4X; the pump is designed to work with the 4XR and io4, but those gas-performance approvals do not include use of the pump. This 10152669 kit is the North American version and includes a charger.

Yes. The MSA 10152669 is the "North America, with Charger" version, so it ships with a charger included. It uses a non-user-serviceable rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery that delivers 30+ hours of operation at 25 °C and recharges a fully depleted pack in less than 4 hours. It is also compatible with MSA Altair wall chargers and Altair 4/4X/4XR desktop and vehicle chargers. Charge only in non-hazardous areas.

The MSA 10152669 Altair Pump Probe is built for harsh field use: it has a dust- and water-tight IP65 housing, a tough over-molded rubber armor, and survives multiple 10-ft drops onto concrete. The clear top of the case lets you visually inspect the filter, and it is backed by a 3-year warranty (on the chassis/electronics and the pump/drive unit). At just 260 g (9.2 oz), it stays lightweight while remaining rugged.

The MSA 10152669 Altair Pump Probe can draw a sample from up to 50 ft (15 m) away using optional sample lines (available in 10 ft, 25 ft, and 50 ft lengths). It pumps at about 250 mL/min, and the sample delay is roughly 1 second per 0.3 m (1 ft) of line — so a 50-ft line adds about 50 seconds before the gas reaches the detector's sensors. Always allow enough time for the reading, since response time varies with gas type and line length.

Maintenance is quick and tool-free. The MSA 10152669 has an external dust-and-water filter you should visually inspect before each use and replace when dirty — the clear upper housing makes the filter status easy to see. To replace it, rotate the cap counterclockwise, remove the old filter (P/N 10151021, sold in 5-packs), and fit a new one, then verify pump operation by blocking the flow to confirm the alarm activates. Its quick-change components keep the pump in service with minimal downtime.

The MSA 10152669 Pump Probe for Altair 4X/4XR with Charger (North American version) is available at Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) with free shipping. It arrives as a complete kit with the charger included, is intrinsically safe (Class I Division 1, Ex ia IIC T4 Gb), and is backed by a 3-year MSA warranty.
