MSA General Monitors® S5000 — fixed gas monitor with XCell® sensors
The General Monitors® S5000 is a fixed gas monitor with XCell® sensors and TruCal® technology, detecting a wide range of toxic and combustible gases as well as oxygen. Automatic sensor self-diagnostics four times a day and the Diffusion Supervision function minimize the risk of an undetected fault, while a calibration cycle extended to 24 months reduces maintenance costs. Bluetooth communication (X/S Connect app) enables status and alarm readout from up to 23 m away, and the identical footprint and wiring as the S4000 series simplify upgrading existing installations.

Key features
- XCell® sensors with TruCal® technology — automatic self-diagnostics 4 times a day, drift compensation and an extended calibration cycle of up to 24 months.
- Diffusion Supervision function — warns when the sensor inlet becomes blocked and loses its ability to detect gas.
- Wide operating temperature range: from -55°C to +75°C.
- Bluetooth connectivity (X/S Connect app) — status and alarm readout from up to 23 m away, cutting commissioning time by at least 50%.
- Option to mount two sensors (dual sensor) in a single housing — doubled functionality within the same mounting footprint.
- SafeSwap — safe, quick replacement of XCell sensors without shutting down the device.
- Operating status indicators (power, fault, alarm) and an intuitive touch or magnetic interface.
- Identical footprint and wiring as the S4000 series — easy upgrade of existing installations.
- Cloud integration option via the FieldServer ProtoAir FGFD gateway.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What gases does the General Monitors S5000 detect?
A wide range of toxic gases (including H2S, CO, Cl2, NH3) and combustible gases plus oxygen, depending on the XCell sensor used.
How often does the S5000 need calibration?
Thanks to TruCal technology, the calibration cycle can be as long as 24 months, and the sensor is automatically checked 4 times a day.
Can the S5000 be installed in place of an older S4000?
Yes — the S5000 has an identical footprint and wiring as the S4000 series, enabling a simple upgrade of an existing installation without wiring changes.
