MSA Safety A-ULTX-SENS-17-8-C Ultima XE Series Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Sensor

MSA Safety Logo

The MSA Safety A-ULTX-SENS-17-8-C is a high-performance replacement gas sensor designed for the industry-leading Ultima XE Series of gas monitors. Specifically calibrated to detect Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) within a 0–100 PPM range, this electrochemical sensor provides rapid, accurate, and stable life-safety telemetry in demanding industrial environments. Housed in a rugged 316 Stainless Steel enclosure with conformal coated electronics for enhanced environmental resistance, it is purpose-built for integration into explosion-proof Ultima XE transmitter models. As a critical component of hazardous gas detection systems, it ensures plant personnel and assets remain protected from highly toxic, corrosive gas accumulation.
