The MSA Altair 5X gas detector is powered by the most advanced technology in portable gas detectors and can detect up to six gases. It lasts longer than the competition and offers the most functionality with integrated XCell sensors, PID and Bluetooth technology to meet the needs of today and tomorrow.
This version is equipped with a PID sensor only. Please contact our gas detection specialists to choose the right assembly.

• Detects combustible gases in LEL and/or volume percentage, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, ammonia, chlorine, VOCs and more depending on sensor configuration.
• Rugged, polycarbonate housing with protective coating provides unsurpassed durability and can withstand a 3m drop, with IP65 certification. 
• Field-tested, integrated pump ensures constant gas flow without the hassle of externally connected components.
• High-performance XCell sensors last longer:
• Lifetime over 4 years for sensors for flammable gas, O2, CO/H2S, SO2, CO/NO2 and CO (high concentration).
• Lifetime longer than 3 years for NH3 and Cl2 sensors.
• Sensor response and clearing times typically less than 15 seconds.
• Uses less calibration gas:
• Approximately half the amount of test gas needed than is normally used for calibration and bump testing.
• Quick bump test of less than 10 seconds for the most common sensor configurations.
• Chip calibration time of less than 60 seconds for most common sensor configurations.
• MotionAlert function tells others that the user is not moving.
• InstantAlert function provides a manual alarm to alert others when a potentially dangerous situation has arisen.
• PID option for accurate and reliable VOC response with programmable reference factors.
• Large buttons and clear display for easy operation, even with gloves on.
• Exclusive end-of-life warning alerts user when device sensor life is coming to an end.
  Versatile MSA Link software allows user to transfer data to computer.
• Compatible with GALAXY GX2 test system and MSA Link Pro instrument management software.
  Bluetooth wireless technology as standard.

Added value of Bluetooth:

• Can connect to Android devices
• MSA App creates even more possibilities
• Real-Time Readings/Alarms
• SMS/Text messaging of alarms, or sending of evacuation alarms to A5X
• Instrument Configuration
• Time-weighted sampling information
