ALTAIR® 5X

ALTAIR® 5X

The ALTAIR® 5X Gas Detector is capable of measuring up to 6 gases simultaneously and is now available with integrated PID sensor for VOC detection. Driven by advanced MSA XCell® Sensor Technology, the ALTAIR® 5X Gas Detector delivers faster response time, better stability, accuracy, longer service life, and cost savings over the life of the instrument.

Available in:

  • MSA ALTAIR® 5X (5 Gas)
  • MSA ALTAIR® 5X IR (CO2)
  • MSA ALTAIR® 5X PID (VOCs)
