The MSA ALTAIR® 5X Multigas Detector with Pump, Part No. 10116926, is a rugged portable gas detector designed to simultaneously monitor LEL, O₂, CO, and H₂S. It features a built-in sampling pump, monochrome display, MSA XCell® sensors, rechargeable battery, audible, visual and vibrating alarms, and reliable performance for confined space and industrial applications.
Product Overview
The MSA ALTAIR® 5X Multigas Detector with Pump (10116926) is a professional portable gas detection instrument designed to help workers identify hazardous atmospheric conditions in demanding industrial environments.
This configuration monitors LEL, oxygen (O₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) using advanced MSA XCell® sensors for rapid response and recovery. The integrated sampling pump allows remote atmosphere testing using the supplied 10 ft sampling line and 1 ft probe, making the detector suitable for confined spaces and areas that are difficult or unsafe to enter before testing.
The rugged housing is designed for demanding field conditions, while the high-contrast monochrome display provides clear gas readings. Multiple alarm systems—including audible, visual, and vibrating alerts—help immediately notify workers when hazardous gas concentrations are detected.
The ALTAIR 5X is also compatible with MSA Link™ Software and the MSA GALAXY® Automated Test System, supporting efficient instrument management, bump testing, calibration, and event tracking.
