ALTAIR 5X Gas Detector for Professional Safety
MSA Safety Works ALTAIR 5X Gas Detector – LEL/O₂/CO/H₂S/PID, Color Display, Instrument Only
Product Overview
The MSA Safety Works ALTAIR 5X is a professional multi-gas detector designed to monitor atmospheric hazards in demanding workplace environments. This configuration combines a color display with five sensing capabilities: LEL, oxygen (O₂), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and PID.
The detector is supplied as an instrument-only configuration, making it a suitable choice for users who already have the required accessories or want to configure the instrument for their existing gas-monitoring setup.
With its multi-gas capability and built-in pump, the ALTAIR 5X is designed for applications where reliable atmospheric monitoring is essential, including confined-space work, oil and gas, construction, utilities, mining, firefighting, and industrial maintenance.
Key Features
Color display for clear, easy-to-read gas readings
Detects LEL, O₂, CO, H₂S, and PID in this specific configuration
Built-in pump for sampling applications
Supports monitoring of multiple gases from one handheld instrument
MotionAlert and InstantAlert features
Data logging capability
Durable charcoal-colored housing
Designed for demanding industrial and emergency-response environments
Instrument-only configuration without the deluxe sampling line and probe package
Gas Detection Configuration
| Sensor / Technology | Function |
|---|---|
| LEL | Detects combustible gas concentrations relative to the Lower Explosive Limit |
| O₂ | Measures oxygen concentration |
| CO | Detects carbon monoxide |
| H₂S | Detects hydrogen sulfide |
| PID | Photoionization detection for applicable volatile organic compounds (VOCs) |
The actual measurement range, alarm settings, resolution, and performance depend on the installed sensor configuration and applicable approval.

Built for Multi-Gas Monitoring
The ALTAIR 5X provides a single handheld platform for monitoring several atmospheric hazards at once. The LEL sensor helps identify combustible-gas hazards, while the oxygen, CO, and H₂S sensors monitor common atmospheric hazards encountered in industrial environments.
The PID sensor adds VOC monitoring capability for applications where applicable VOC detection is required.
The ALTAIR 5X family can be configured with up to five sensors, with certain sensor combinations capable of displaying readings for additional gases. The exact capabilities of an individual instrument depend on its installed sensor configuration.
Color Display
The high-resolution color display provides a clear interface for viewing gas measurements, instrument status, alarms, and other operating information. Color indicators help users quickly distinguish normal operating conditions from warning, alarm, or fault states.
Built-In Pump
This ALTAIR 5X configuration uses an internal pump to draw air samples into the instrument. This is useful for applications where the atmosphere needs to be sampled remotely rather than relying only on diffusion through the detector.
Sampling accessories such as lines and probes may be supplied separately depending on the selected configuration. MSA lists dedicated sampling probes and sampling lines as separate accessories.
Typical Applications
The ALTAIR 5X is suited to professional gas-monitoring applications such as:
Confined-space entry and monitoring
Oil and gas operations
General industrial work
Plant maintenance and turnarounds
Fire and emergency response
Construction
Mining
Utilities
Welding and related industrial operations
MSA identifies these as application areas for the ALTAIR 5X family.
What's Included
1 × MSA ALTAIR 5X Gas Detector
Color-display instrument
LEL / O₂ / CO / H₂S / PID configuration
Charcoal housing
Please Note
This is an Instrument Only configuration. A sampling line, sampling probe, carrying case, charger, calibration equipment, or other accessories are not assumed to be included unless specifically stated by the seller or supplied under the applicable package configuration. MSA lists deluxe configurations with a 10-foot line and 1-foot probe separately from this instrument-only version.
Important Safety Information
Gas detection equipment should be selected and configured according to the hazards present, applicable regulations, and the requirements of the site's respiratory and atmospheric-monitoring program.
Approvals can differ depending on the part number, sensor configuration, and country or region. Always check the approval label on the actual instrument and follow the current MSA operating and calibration instructions before use.
Summary
The MSA ALTAIR 5X 10165445 is a versatile, professional-grade multi-gas detector combining a color display, internal pump, data logging, MotionAlert, InstantAlert, and LEL/O₂/CO/H₂S/PID sensing in one portable instrument. This particular version is supplied as an instrument-only configuration, making it appropriate for users who already have compatible sampling and charging accessories or who want to build a customized gas-monitoring setup.
