Altair 5X Gas Detector

ALTAIR 5X LEL / O2 / CO / H2S

The MSA ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector is a portable, rugged device designed to accurately detect and measure multiple hazardous gases simultaneously, making it ideal for mining operations, industrial safety, and confined spaces in South Africa. Driven by advanced sensor technology MSA XCell® Sensor Technology,  the ALTAIR 5X Gas Detector delivers faster response time, provides continuous monitoring, ensuring reliable detection of combustible gases, oxygen deficiency/enrichment, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other hazardous atmospheres. With a durable, IP67-rated housing, it withstands harsh conditions, while the optional integrated pump allows remote sampling in inaccessible or hazardous areas, enhancing worker safety and operational compliance.

NOTE: If Altair 5X is to be used for confined space entry testing, sampling line and probe must also be purchased.

Altair 5X Gas Detector

Features and benefits

  • Detects combustible gases in LEL and/or volume percentage range, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur  dioxide, ammonia, chlorine, VOCs,  and many others depending upon sensor configuration.
  • Rugged overmolded polycarbonate housing provides unsurpassed durability, including ability to survive 10-ft. (3m) drop; IP65-certified.
  • Field-proven integral pump provides consistent gas flow, eliminating concerns of externally-attached components.
  • High performance XCell Sensors last longer:
    • Typical life greater than 4 years for combustible, O2, CO/H2S, SO2, CO/NO2 and CO (high concentration) sensors.
    • Typical life greater than 3 years for NH3 and Cl2 sensors.
    • Most sensor response and clear times <15 seconds.
  • Less calibration gas used:
    • Requires about half of test gas typically used for calibration and bump tests.
    • Rapid bump test gives results in less than 10 seconds for most common sensor configurations.
    • Span calibration time of 60 seconds for most common sensor configurations.
  • MotionAlert feature option tells others that the user has become immobile.
  • InstantAlert feature provides a manual alarm to alert others as to a potentially hazardous situation.
  • PID option allows for accurate, reliable VOC response with programmable reference factors.
  • Large buttons and bright displays provide easy operation, even when users wear gloves.
  • Exclusive end-of-sensor warning cautions users when the unit’s sensor nears end-of-life.
  • Versatile MSA Link™ Software allows users to transmit data to a computer.
