MSA Introduces Galaxy™ Automated Test System For MSA Portable Gas Detection
The MSA Instrument Division proudly announces the release of the Galaxy Automated Test System for MSA portable gas detection instruments. The new MSA Galaxy System has the latest features expected in an automated recordkeeping and calibration test system. These features include ease of use and versatility, making the MSA Galaxy Automated Test System the perfect choice for managing your MSA gas detection equipment.
The Galaxy Automated Test System operates without the touch of a single button. After setup, users place their instrument in the test stand and the Galaxy System will automatically perform the test. The Galaxy System is stand-alone, requiring no computer, controller or network interface. This new system from MSA offers ease of use with minimal training needed, as all gas tubing and electrical connections are pre-connected. Other features include a wireless or wired network interface, instrument charging, memory card, test receipt printer and an in-line gas cylinder holder.
Where AC power may not be easily accessible, the Galaxy System has a replaceable battery pack available which can provide up to 100 tests per instrument test stand. In addition, up to ten specific systems can be interconnected as part of this durable, innovative design. With automated recordkeeping capabilities that eliminate the need for handwritten records of instrument calibration history, the MSA Galaxy System can help to lower the overall total cost of ownership of your MSA gas detection instruments.
The Galaxy Automated Test System interface for data retrieval and reporting is extremely easy to use. Any web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator can be used to access the data of a network-enabled Galaxy System, including calibration and bump check records as well as due dates for instrument calibration.
