MSA Altair 5X LEL O2 CO/H2S Multigas Detector

ALTAIR® 5X Multigas Detector

Save Time, Save Money, Save Lives
Building upon decades of sensor design experience, MSA hasrevolutionized sensor technology with design breakthroughsthat improve performance.

• XCell exotic SO2, NO2, Cl2, and NH3 Sensors for expanded monitoring applications
• Sensor response and clear times in less than 15 seconds for most common sensor configurations
• Bump test in less than 15 seconds for most common sensor configurations
• Span calibration time of 60 seconds for most common sensor configurations
• Greater signal stability and repeatability under changing or extreme environmental conditions
• All XCell Sensors are capable of plug-and-play installation for easy reconfiguration

With reliable, extended-life XCell Sensors, there’s no need to replace sensors after two years.

• Typical life greater than four years for combustible, O2, CO/H2S, NO2, and SO2 sensors
• Typical life greater than three years for NH3 and Cl2 sensors
• Combustible sensor proprietary operating mode helps maintain poison-resistance throughout sensor life
• End-of-sensor-life warning gives advanced notice to user, reducing service outages

Count on the ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector
Exclusive MotionAlert™ and InstantAlert™ features make the ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector ideal for applications such as confined space monitoring. MotionAlert feature activates when a user becomes disabled and motionless, quickly alerting others as to the disabled user’s location. And with a simple push of a button, InstantAlert feature enables users to manually warn others of potentially hazardous situations.

The ALTAIR 5X Detector is the long-life leader. To prove it, the instrument comes with a full three-year warranty,* an entire year longer than the industry average, so that you can depend upon the ALTAIR 5X Detector to withstand the punishment that other portable gas detectors can’t.

Built upon Durability
The ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector for LEL, O2 and toxic gas detection is as tough and functional as it looks. A rugged, rubberized polycarbonate housing provides unsurpassed durability, including the ability to survive a 10-foot drop. Inside, a field-proven integral pump provides consistent gas flow without the concerns of externally-attached components. Ergonomic design, glove-friendly buttons and high-contrast display make the ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector easy to use for all applications.

Powered by Performance
Toughness and durability are only part of the story. The real strength of the ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector comes from state-of-the-art sensor technology. By miniaturizing sensor-controlling electronics and placing them inside the sensor itself, MSA XCell Sensors offer superior stability, accuracy, repeatability, and a typical life of more than double the industry average. MSA XCell Sensors are a breakthrough in chemical and mechanical sensor design, enabling faster response and span calibration times, saving you time, calibration gas, maintenance costs, and in turn, money. But most importantly, saving seconds in response time can also mean saving lives. In addition to MSA XCell Sensors, the ALTAIR 5X Detectorcan be equipped with advanced PID options for VOC detection. Our wide variety of IR sensors covers many gases and ranges including CO2.

Flexibility & Connectivity to Meet Your Needs
MSA’s ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector is configurable with either high-resolution color or monochrome LCD display with 18 built-in languages. MSA’s Logo Express® Service is available to customize the color display. Interchangeable plug-and-play slots for MSA XCell Sensors indicated means that up to six gases can be monitored simultaneously. The ALTAIR 5X Detector is fully compatible with the MSA GALAXY® GX2 Automated Test System and MSA Link™ Pro and MSA Link Software to efficiently manage your entire fleet.
