Product Information

The new MSA ALTAIR® 5 Multigas Detector raises the bar once again with 6-gas capability, more than 18 preprogrammed languages, high-resolution, crisp color display option, and MSA’s exclusive MotionAlert™ and InstantAlert™ features. Many great features plus the outstanding durability and performance you expect from MSA.

Ideal for confined space applications, the MotionAlert™ feature, when enabled, activates a “man down” alarm if no motion is detected for 30 seconds. The InstantAlert™ feature allows users to manually activate an audible alarm to alert those around them to potentially dangerous situations. Using a portable gas detector should never be a challenge! MSA has designed the ALTAIR® 5 Multigas Detector with the same ease-of-use logic to ensure that minimal user training, interaction, or maintenance, is required. The intuitive menu-driven display and 3 large and tactile buttons make operation easy – even while wearing gloves. Numerous customization options are offered to fit many budgets and experience levels, from personal monitoring and pre-entry checks within confined space to industrial hygienist use.

MSA’s new generation of miniature catalytic combustion sensors will reliably detect up to 100% LEL of combustible gases, including many solvents. Our IR sensors deliver stable readings in environments with challenging temperature and humidity effects. MSA’s high-performing electrochemical duo-tox hydrogen sulfide/carbon monoxide sensor allows for an additional sensor slot. Many other toxic sensor choices are available, including ammonia, chlorine, hydrogen cyanide, phosphine, and sulfur dioxide. A lithium-ion rechargeable battery provides enough runtime to cover double shifts.

The ALTAIR® 5 Multigas Detector is GALAXY® System-compatible for easy calibration and record keeping. Vibrating alarm and datalogging are standard features, and the unit is MSA Link™ Software ready for easy transfer of stored information to a connected PC. The ergonomically designed rubber overmolded housing provides unsurpassed durability, is IP65-rated for dust and water ingress, and passes a 6-foot drop test. The unit is also equipped with a 95+ dB audible alarm and ultra bright alarm LEDs for maximum visibility.
