The device monitors gases in ambient air and in the workplace.
The ALTAIR 5X PID is available with a maximum of five sensors, which can display readings for six
separate gases (one Two-Tox Sensor provides both CO and H
in a single package).
The ALTAIR 5X PID Multigas Detector is only available with a 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.
While the device can detect up to 30 % oxygen in ambient air, it is approved for use only up to 21 %
oxygen.
