Altair 5X Multi Gas Detector

The Altair 5X Multigas Detector is an advanced portable instrument designed for comprehensive gas detection in industrial and hazardous environments, featuring superior sensor technology for high performance and reliability.

Simultaneously detects up to six gases with fast, reliable response and extended sensor life.

The Altair 5X Multigas Detector is engineered for detection of up to six gases simultaneously, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is built with MSA XCell® sensor technology, designed for faster response, higher signal stability, and extended sensor life, making it ideal for confined space monitoring and challenging environments.

Main Features

Detection of LEL, O₂, CO, H₂S, SO₂, NO₂, Cl₂, NH₃ and more
Supports up to six sensors simultaneously
Advanced Photoionisation Detector (PID) option for VOC detection
Bluetooth connectivity with MSA ALTAIR Connect App for remote readings and configuration
MotionAlert™ & InstantAlert™ with man-down and instant warning functions
Rugged, rubberised polycarbonate housing—drop tested from 3 metres
Glove-friendly buttons and high-contrast colour/monochrome LCD display (choice of 18 languages)
Fully compatible with MSA GALAXY® GX2 test system and MSA Link™ software
Plug-and-play sensor installation for easy reconfiguration
Integral pump for consistent gas flow
IP65 rated for dust and water protection

Sensor & Calibration Performance

Sensor response and clear times under 15 seconds (for most gases)
Bump test completion in less than 15 seconds
60 seconds span calibration for routine checks
Combustible, O₂, CO/H₂S, NO₂, SO₂ sensor life typically exceeds 4 years
End-of-sensor-life warning feature
