MSA ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector
The MSA ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector is a high-performance, rugged gas detection device designed to monitor up to six gases simultaneously, including natural gas and VOCs with the optional integrated PID sensor. Built with advanced MSA XCell Sensor Technology, it delivers faster response times, greater accuracy, and extended sensor life — reducing downtime, lowering ownership costs, and increasing worker safety in demanding environments.
Equipped with Bluetooth wireless connectivity to the free MSA Altair Connect app, this detector provides real-time alerts and enhanced data management. Its thick rubber housing ensures durability against drops up to 10 feet, while MotionAlert™ and InstantAlert™ features further enhance worker protection.
Standard Features
- Bluetooth wireless connectivity with the MSA Altair Connect app
- Industry-first 60-second span calibration and 10-second bump test
- Durable thick rubber housing — survives drops from up to 10 ft
- MotionAlert™ activates when no movement is detected for 30 seconds
- Exclusive end-of-sensor-life warning reduces service downtime
- Sensor response/clear times under 15 seconds (LEL, O₂, CO, H₂S, SO₂)
- 50% faster response than industry average
- High signal stability under extreme environmental conditions
- Extended warranties: 3 years on CO, H₂S, LEL, O₂, SO₂, IR sensors
- Proprietary combustible sensor operating mode resists poisoning
Advanced Technology Benefits
- Integrated PID sensor for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Rapid sensor response times increase workplace safety
- Reduced maintenance costs with extended sensor lifespan
- Data logging and event logging for compliance and safety tracking
- Compatible with rechargeable Li-ion or AA alkaline batteries
