IT’S WHAT’S INSIDE THAT COUNTS

Monitoring Combustible Gases
The device can be equipped with a catalytic combustible sensor that detects a variety of combustible gases up to 100 % LEL and displays the reading as either % LEL or % CH4. The ALTAIR 5X IR can also contain an Butane IR combustible sensor for inert gas sampling. IR sensors do not need O2 to function and are therefore ideal for inert sampling.
The IR sensor displays the reading in % Vol.

Built on Durability
• Only instrument in its class with internally-integrated pump
• Full three-year warranty on LEL, O2, H2S, CO, SO2, and Butane IR sensors
• Rugged housing
• Withstands 10-foot drop test
• Easy to operate

Powered by Performance
• Four-year sensor life on LEL, O2, CO, H2S, SO2, and Butane IR sensors – 60% longer than industry average
• Three-year sensor life on NH3 and Cl2
• MSA-exclusive instrument end-of-sensor-life warning
• MSA-exclusive MotionAlert™ & InstantAlert™ features
• 40% less calibration gas used per minute than industry average

Flexibility to meet your Needs
• Interchangeable plug-and-play sensor slots (XCell sensors)
• Color or monochrome display options
• Monitors up to six gases simultaneously

Revolutionizing Sensor Technology
• Industry-first 60-second span calibration time for LEL, O2, CO, H2S, and SO2
• Sensor response and clear times in under 15 seconds on LEL, O2, CO,
H2S, and SO2 – 50% faster than industry average
• Typical cost savings of over 50% on calibration gas, replacement sensors, and maintenance
• Greater signal stability and repeatability under changing or extreme
environmental conditions

Exclusive MotionAlert™ and InstantAlert™ 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 to the disabled
user’s location. And with a simple push of a button, InstantAlert
feature enables users to manually alert others to potentially
hazardous situations.
