Key Features

Ease of Use

• Color touch-screen display for setup, monitoring, and status.
• Testing (bump test or calibration) begins automatically without the need to press any buttons.

Automated Testing & Calibration

• Supports bump tests and full calibration cycles.
• Sensor response and “clear” times are fast (less than ~15 seconds for clear) according to spec sheet.

Fleet / Data Management

• Can be integrated with MSA Link Pro software to collect, manage, and report test data.
• Built-in indicators for: low calibration gas volume, expiration warnings, test-stand status.
• Ethernet connectivity: allows data transfer / integration in a larger system / network.
• Supports up to 10 test stands in a bank and can manage up to 10 instruments simultaneously.

Cost Efficiency

• Optimized for use with MSA XCell® Sensors, which helps reduce cost of ownership significantly (MSA claims up to 50% cost savings).
• Modular design: base stand can scale with additional components (e.g., multi?unit chargers, more test stands, cylinder holders).

Built?In Safety / Status Indicators

• LED status lights (pass/fail for tests) make it easy to check at a glance.
• The test stand itself supports 18 languages, making it accessible in multilingual environments.

Regulatory / Certification

• UL?62368?1 certified.
• CSA standard: CAN/CSA?C22.2 No.?62368?1.

Included / Optional Items

Included in the Stand (kit contents):

• Pre-configured plugs and barbs (for gas connections)
• Fresh air filter
• Power supply with North American plug (for this model)
• Spare parts kit: includes tubing, extra barbs, plugs.
• Ethernet cable (short) for connecting to other test stands / data network.
• Screen protector for touch display.

Optional / Additional Accessories:

• Electronic cylinder holder (P/N: 10105756) for automated gas supply.
• Non-electronic cylinder holder (if you don’t need automated cylinder control).
• Multi-unit charger for ALTAIR detectors (if you want to bank charging + testing).
• Test stand printer (for receipts or calibration stickers).
• SD memory card (for data logging) (P/N: 10127111)
• USB secure key to securely change gas detector settings via the stand.

Applications & Use Cases

• Industrial Safety: For use in facilities that deploy MSA ALTAIR 4 or 4X multigas detectors (such as in chemical plants, oil & gas, utilities).
• Compliance Management: Helps safety teams maintain calibration compliance by automating bump and calibration tests, and tracking history via software.
• Fleet Management: Very useful for organizations with multiple gas detectors — can scale the GX2 system with multiple stands, cylinder holders, and integrate with MSA Link Pro to monitor status of all devices.
• Training / Multi-lingual Facilities: With 18 languages supported, it's well-suited for diverse workplaces.

Pros & Considerations

Pros:

• Reduces manual work — “touch-free” test start.
• Automates testing, calibration, and data logging.
• Scalable system: can grow as your detector fleet grows.
• Compatible with cost-saving XCell sensor technology.
• Clear feedback via touch screen and LEDs.

Considerations / Limitations:

• This specific model does not charge detectors — if you need charging, you’d need a different GX2 version.
• Only supports one calibration gas cylinder (1-valve) — for more complex calibration (multiple gases), you might prefer a 4-valve version.
• Requires space and power (AC input) and potentially network setup (Ethernet) for data integration.

Summary

The MSA Galaxy GX2 (10128642) is a robust, automated, single?valve test stand designed for MSA ALTAIR?4 and 4X multigas detectors. It offers automated bump testing and calibration, minimal user interaction, and data integration via MSA Link Pro. While it doesn’t support charging in this configuration, it provides a very efficient and scalable solution for safety teams managing a fleet of gas detectors.
