Features of MSA ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector

• Detects combustible gases in LEL and/or volume percentage range, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur  dioxide, ammonia, chlorine, VOCs,  and many others depending upon sensor configuration.
• Rugged overmolded polycarbonate housing provides unsurpassed durability, including ability to survive 10-ft. (3m) drop; IP65-certified.
• Field-proven integral pump provides consistent gas flow, eliminating concerns of externally-attached components.
• High performance XCell Sensors last longer:
  • Typical life greater than 4 years for combustible, O2, CO/H2S, SO2, CO/NO2 and CO (high concentration) sensors.
  • Typical life greater than 3 years for NH3 and Cl2 sensors.
  • Most sensor response and clear times <15 seconds.
• Less calibration gas used:
  • Requires about half of test gas typically used for calibration and bump tests.
  • Rapid bump test gives results in less than 10 seconds for most common sensor configurations.
  • Span calibration time of 60 seconds for most common sensor configurations.
• MotionAlert feature option tells others that user has become immobile.
• InstantAlert feature provides manual alarm to alert others as to a potentially hazardous situation.
• PID option allows for accurate, reliable VOC response with programmable reference factors.
• Large buttons and bright display provide easy operation, even when users wear gloves.
• Exclusive end-of-sensor warning cautions users when unit's sensor nears end-of-life.
• Versatile MSA Link™ Software allows users to transmit data to a computer.
• Compatible with GALAXY® GX2 Test System.
