XCell® Pulse Technology

+ =

With our patented* XCell Pulse Technology, we have created a simple and inexpensive approach to bump testing.
Years of scientic research, patented sensor interrogation technology and proprietary sensor response
methodologies have delivered the world’s rst gas detector with a stand-alone bump test. Simply put; the use of
calibration accessories or bottled calibration gas is not required for bump testing the ALTAIR 2XP Gas Detector.

How does it work? When the detector is turned on, it automatically begins an electronic pulse check that activates
the sensor catalyst and electrolyte interaction and makes minor corrections against prior calibration values. Next the
user completes a ow check by exhaling toward the sensor inlet. An oxygen detector embedded in the sensor, that is
only active during the pulse and ow check, detects the drop in oxygen content of exhaled breath. If both of these
checks pass, the detector passes the bump test.
