The device monitors gases in ambient air and in the workplace.

The ALTAIR 5X is available with a maximum of four sensors, which can display readings for five separate gases (one Two-Tox Sensor provides both CO and H2S or CO and NO2 sensing capabilities in a single package).

The ALTAIR 5X IR is available with a maximum of five sensors, which can display readings for six separate gases (one Two-Tox Sensor provides both CO and H2S or CO and NO2 sensing capabilities in a single package).

The ALTAIR 5X and ALTAIR 5X IR Multigas Detectors are available with either a monochrome or color display.

The alarm levels for the individual gases are factory-set and can be changed through the Instrument Setup Menu. These changes can also be made through MSA Link Software. Ensure that the latest version of the MSA Link software has been downloaded from MSA’s website www.msasafety.com.

It is recommended that after making changes using MSA Link software, the device should be turned OFF and ON.
