CYLINDER HOLDER ASSY:GX2,NONELECTRONIC | MSA

The MSA 10125135 Non-Electronic Cylinder Holder is an accessory for the GALAXY GX2 Automated Test System, intended to securely mount and manage a single calibration gas cylinder for gas detector testing and calibration. This holder is the non-electronic variant, meaning it does not include built-in RFID reading or pressure-sensor electronics; instead, cylinder parameters like gas concentration and expiration must be entered manually into the GX2 system.

Constructed from durable ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) polymer, the holder is robust yet lightweight. It features a status-indicator LED “light band” to provide at-a-glance alerts for low gas level, expiration warnings, and general test-stand status. It powers from standard AC (100–240 V) and integrates seamlessly with the GALAXY GX2 system, allowing for automatic testing of connected ALTAIR gas detectors when properly installed.

This non-electronic holder is ideal for users who do not use MSA RFID-tagged calibration cylinders, or for setups where they prefer to manually manage cylinder data for calibration — making it a cost-effective, simpler alternative to the smart/electronic cylinder holder.

Key Features & Benefits

• Manual Data Entry: Allows entering cylinder parameters manually — useful when RFID-tagged cylinders are not used.
• Status Indicators: Built-in LED light band warns about low gas, expiration, and other status conditions.
• Robust Build: ABS construction offers good durability while keeping the weight low. 
• Easy Integration: Designed to mount on the GX2 test stand, supporting up to 4 cylinder holders per system (depending on configuration).
• Cost-Effective: Compared to the electronic (RFID) holder, this version is simpler and more economical.
• Global Power Compatibility: Works with 100–240 V AC, making it suitable for a wide range of regions and installation locations.

Limitations & Considerations

• Since it’s non-electronic, it does not read RFID tags, so you lose out on automated cylinder metadata (gas concentration, lot number, expiration) that the electronic holder can provide. 
• Manual entry of cylinder data introduces some possibility of human error.
• It does not actively monitor cylinder pressure (unlike the electronic holder), so you may have less real-time visibility into gas depletion.

Context of Use

• This holder is an accessory for the GALAXY GX2 test-stand, not a standalone calibration tool. 
• Best suited for operations where calibration gas cylinders are manually managed (non-RFID), and where cost or simplicity is a priority.
• Useful in calibration labs, safety departments, or facilities that have a fleet of ALTAIR detectors (single-gas or multigas) and want a reliable way to mount a cylinder for test/cali cycles.
