MSA ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector – Portable Gas Monitor in Saudi Arabia

The MSA ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector from MSA Safety is a rugged, advanced portable gas detector engineered to provide reliable multi‑gas monitoring in demanding industrial environments throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Built for oil & gas, petrochemical, utilities, construction, confined space work and emergency response, this detector combines durability, fast response, and smart safety alerts to help protect personnel and support compliance with workplace safety standards.

Key Features of MSA ALTAIR 5X

• Multi‑Gas Detection: Designed to monitor key atmospheric hazards including combustible gases (LEL), oxygen (O₂), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and, depending on configuration, additional gases such as sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
  

• Rugged, Job‑Site Ready Construction: Durable rubberized housing and 10‑ft (3 m) drop resistance help ensure reliable performance in harsh industrial conditions.
  

• Integrated Sampling Pump: Built‑in pump allows for remote sampling in confined or hard‑to‑reach areas — essential for pre‑entry safety checks.
  

• Fast Calibration & Testing: Industry‑leading 10‑second bump test and 60‑second span calibration save time and reduce downtime.
  

• Clear Alerts: Audible (> 95 dB), visual (LED) and vibrating alarm systems instantly notify users of unsafe conditions.
  

• Advanced Safety Alerts: Built‑in MotionAlert™ and InstantAlert™ features help notify others if motion stops or a manual alert is activated.
  

• Large, High‑Contrast Display: Easy‑to‑read monochrome or full‑color screen shows real‑time gas levels, battery status and alarm conditions even in bright light.
  

• Long Run Time: Rechargeable lithium‑ion battery delivers up to 20 hours of continuous monitoring per charge*.
  

• Data Logging: Stores event data (up to ~1000 events) to support incident reporting and compliance records.
  

• Software & System Compatibility: Fully compatible with MSA Link™, MSA Galaxy® GX2 and other management systems for calibration, record keeping and fleet administration.
