Altair 5X

The worlds most advanced multigas detector

Talk to an Expert

Altair 5X Family of Gas Detectors

The ALTAIR 5X Gas Detector can measure up to 6 gases simultaneously and is now available with integrated PID sensor for VOC detection. Driven by advanced MSA XCell Sensor Technology, the ALTAIR 5X Gas Detector delivers faster response time, better stability, accuracy, longer service life, and cost savings over the life of the instrument.

Highlights

The ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector for combustible gases in % LEL and/or % volume range, 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 3-meter drop. Inside, a field-proven integral pump provides consistent gas flow without the problems of externally attached components.

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 more than double the industry average

Save Time & Money
Bump and calibrate with 1/2 the test gas and in 1/2 the time vs. industry average
Xcell Sensors
2X faster than industry average sensor reaction
Built Tougher
Built so tough that it can withstand a 25-ft (7.5m) drop onto concrete

MotionAlert

Ideal for confined space monitoring to keep workers safe.

FEATURES &
BENEFITS

Motion Alert

Detector ideal for applications such as confined space monitoring. MotionAlert
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 enables users to manually warn others of potentially hazardous situations.

Advance PID
PIDs are required tools not only for industrial hygiene, HazMat and specialized detection applications, but are increasingly a key element for safety teams and industrial operations. The unmatched durability of the ALTAIR 5X with advanced XCell Sensor technology is now combined with PID to provide a complete platform for users around the world. Plus the PID instrument data can now seamlessly integrate into MSA’s proven fleet management infrastructure.
Bluetooth Connection

MSA brings the benefits of wireless safety to everyone. By downloading the free MSA Portable Instrument App, the device becomes an enhanced safety and productivity tool when paired with the ALTAIR 5X.

  • Get gas detection readings and man-down alerts
  • Configure instruments remotely
  • Automate gas detector records and events
  • Drive greater productivity and greater workflow efficiency
  • Achieve supervisory awareness of worker safety
  • Send gas alarms via text or email
XCell Sensors
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 can be equipped with advanced PID options for VOC detection. MSA’s wide variety of IR sensors covers many gases and ranges including CO₂
