Count on the ALTAIR 5X Multigas Detector

Exclusive MotionAlert™ and InstantAlert™ features make the ALTAIR 5X
Multigas Detector ideal for applications such as conned space monitoring.
MotionAlert feature activates when a user becomes disabled and motionless,
quickly alerting others as to the disabled user’s location. And with a simple
push of a button, InstantAlert feature enables users to manually warn others
of potentially hazardous situations.

The ALTAIR 5X Detector is the long-life leader. 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 upon the ALTAIR 5X Detector to withstand the
punishment that other portable gas detectors can’t.
