Lower lifetime maintenance

Designed to Reduce Ownership Cost

MSA XCell sensor technology is designed for longer sensor life, fast response, and shorter calibration cycles. The ALTAIR 5X can use about half the test gas typically required for calibration and bump tests, helping reduce routine consumable costs across an instrument fleet.

Compatibility with the GALAXY GX2 Test System and MSA Link software also supports consistent testing, recordkeeping, and fleet management.

Configuration note: MSA ALTAIR 5X instruments are available in multiple sensor configurations. Part number 10116928 is configured for LEL, O2, CO, and H2S and includes the color display, integral pump, 10-foot sampling line, and 1-foot probe described above. Confirm the required gas configuration before ordering.

Common buyer questions

MSA ALTAIR 5X 10116928 FAQ

Which gases does MSA part 10116928 detect?

This ALTAIR 5X configuration detects combustible gas as LEL, oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

Does this ALTAIR 5X kit include a sampling pump and probe?

Yes. Part 10116928 includes the monitor's integral pump, a 10-foot sampling line, and a 1-foot probe for remote sampling.

How rugged is the MSA ALTAIR 5X?

Its overmolded polycarbonate housing is IP65 rated and designed to survive a 10-foot (3 m) drop.

How long do the XCell sensors typically last?

MSA lists a typical life greater than four years for combustible, oxygen, CO/H2S, SO2, CO/NO2, and high-concentration CO XCell sensors. Actual service life varies with use, exposure, maintenance, and environmental conditions.

Can this detector be used with an automated test station?

Yes. The ALTAIR 5X is compatible with the MSA GALAXY GX2 Automated Test System and MSA Link software for testing, records, and fleet management.
