IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE THAT COUNTS

WORKERS who face potentially dangerous situations deserve the best protection available. At MSA, we work tirelessly to build smarter, better gas detection instruments that people across the world rely on. First we introduced MSA's advanced technology with the ALTAIR 4X Multigas Detector with XCell Sensors. Now we're proud to introduce the expansion of the most advanced technology available in any portable gas detector on the market:

The ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector with XCell Sensor Technology.

Built on Durability

The ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector for LEL, 02, and toxic gas detection is as tough and functional as it looks. A rugged polycarbonate housing provides unsurpassed durability, including the ability to survive a 1 O-foot drop. Inside, a field-proven integral pump provides consistent gas flow without the problems of externally-attached components. Ergonomic design, glove-friendly buttons, and high-contrast display make the ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector easy to use in all applications.

Powered by Performance

Toughness and durability aren't the whole story. The real strength of the ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector comes from new sensor technology. MSA XCell Sensors have a typical life of more than double the industry average, and are engineered using MSA's proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design. By miniaturizing the sensors' controlling electronics and placing them inside the sensor itself, MSA XCell Sensors offer superior stability, accuracy, and repeatability.

MSA XCell Sensors are a breakthrough in chemical and mechanical sensor design, enabling faster response and span calibration times. With less time spent on calibration and bump tests, you save calibration gas, maintenance costs, and in turn, save money. But most importantly, in your industry, saving seconds on response time can also mean saving lives.

In addition to MSA XCell Sensors, the ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector can also be equipped with our wide variety of IR sensors covering many gases and ranges including C02.

Flexibility to Meet Your Needs

MSA's ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector provides many options to fit various applications. The detector is configurable with either a high-resolution color or monochrome LCD display with multilingual capabilities. MSA's Logo Express" Service option is available to customize the color display. The detector is easily configurable with interchangeable plug-and-play sensor slots for MSA XCell Sensors. Up to six gases can be monitored simultaneously.

Furthermore, this multigas detector offers optional glow-in-the-dark instrument housing for IR sensor-equipped units. The ALTAIR 5x Multigas Detector's lithium-ion battery lasts up to 20 hours, allowing it to be used over multiple shifts. An alkaline battery pack is also available as an accessory. MSA's ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector is fully compatible with the MSA GALAXY® Automated Test System and MSA Link™ Software.

MSA XCell Technology:

Save Time, Save Money, Save Lives

Building on years of sensor design experience, MSA is revolutionizing sensor technology with breakthroughs in design that improve performance.

• New XCell exotic SOl, C12, and NH3 Sensors for expanded monitoring applications
• Sensor response and clear times in under 15 seconds for most common sensor configurations
• Bump test in under 15 seconds for most common sensor configurations
• Span calibration time of 60 seconds for most common sensor configurations
• Greater signal stability and repeatability under changing or extreme environmental conditions
• All XCell Sensors are capable of plug-and-play capabilities for easy reconfiguration

With reliable, extended-life XCell Sensors, there's no need to replace sensors after two years.

• Typical life greater than four years for combustible, 02, CO/H2S, and S02 sensors
• Typical life greater than three years for NH2 and CI2 sensors
• Combustible sensor proprietary operating mode helps it stand up to poisons over the life of the sensor
• End-of-sensor-life warning gives advanced notice to user, reducing service outages

Three-year back-to-back instrument warranty includes (O/H2S/02/LELlS02 and IR sensors

Two-year warranty on NH3 and (12; minimum 12-month warranty on other sensors

Count on the ALTAIR 5X Detector

Exclusive Motionalert'" and Instant Alert™ 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, Instant Alert feature enables users to manually alert others to potentially hazardous situations.

The ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector outlasts the competition.

To prove it.the instrument comes with a full three-year warranty*, an entire year longer than the industry average, so that you can depend on the ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector to withstand the wear and tear that other portable gas detectors can't.

'Three year warranty is for most common sensor configurations.
