ALTAIR 5X

The ALTAIR 5X Detector with advanced PID (photoionization) sensor option sets the gas detection bar even higher to meet evolving and diverse needs for VOC detection.

Description

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 Detector with advanced XCell Sensor technology is now combined with PID to provide a complete platform for users around the world. What’s more, PID instrument data can now seamlessly integrate into MSA’s proven fleet management infrastructure.

 

Count on the ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector

Exclusive MotionAlertTM and InstantAlertTM 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 LinkTM Pro and MSA Link Software to efficiently manage your entire fleet.

 

Bluetooth Wireless Technology

By incorporating Bluetooth as a standard feature, MSA brings the benefits of wireless safety to everyone.

By downloading the free MSA ALTAIR Connect App from Google Play, any compatible Android device becomes an enhanced safety and productivity tool when paired with the ALTAIR 5X Detector.
