Premier Control Technologies has launched a local UK service department to support the Lifetime Warranty offered by Alicat Scientific for their range of mass flow and pressure measurement/control instrumentation. Many manufacturers make excellent products and, of course, back
them with a 12 month warranty. Alicat Scientific, however, are so confident in their quality and reliability that they have increased this to an impressive 36 month warranty. Even more remarkable, however, is the fact that even beyond these initial three years customers can retain peace of mind from the Alicat Limited Lifetime Warranty. Premier Control Technologies and Alicat Scientific have worked
closely together to provide the United Kingdom with local service and support facilities that compliment this Alicat warranty and provide customers and users alike with an Approved and Certified addition to the Global Service Network. Alicat Gas Mass Flow Meters, Gas Mass Flow Controllers, Liquid Meters/Controllers, Pressure and Vacuum Metering and Control products are all covered under this warranty and it is, of course, recommended that this document be studied and understood (
https://www.pctflow.com/our-products/flow- meters/miscellaneous/alicat-limited-lifetime-warranty/). Over the years the instrumentation industry has seen many smaller, more nimble, companies being assimilated into larger multi-nationals and, in the name of efficiency, this has sometimes resulted in service and calibration functions being relocated to low-cost zones within Europe or to “parent” companies in the power-houses such as Germany and the Netherlands. Post-Brexit industry in the UK will require a local certified and knowledgeable support infrastructure that will eliminate the time, cost and logistical complications of shipping goods either across the Atlantic or even just to the mainland of Europe. Perhaps even more important is the need to provide a reliable standard service that ensures
engineers can work within known shut-down periods. Having sent an instrument away for periodic recalibration they must be assured that it will return within their required time-scale, not some notional “few weeks” from the supplier. Furthermore, an element of flexibility must be possible to fulfil those unforeseen emergencies that sometimes happen. Premier Control
Technologies offer standard service turn-around times of three to five days with a Gold Service of one day being available upon request. This service capability is designed to support Alicat customers and maintain the Lifetime Warranty.

Powerful Multi Channel DeteCtor for flaMe DeteCtor teChnology
With the new LRM-244 from InfraTec, flames can be detected within an angular range of more than 90 degrees In the fields of industrial fire protection and early fire detection, InfraTec provides cutting-edge solutions. The latest innovation regarding such applications is the LRM 244. It belongs to the series of miniaturised LRM detectors and combines four channels in one TO8 housing (Ø 15.2 millimetres). An aperture window of about 8.5 × 8.5mm2
is
integrated in the cap of the housing. The channel filters, each with an area of 2.8 × 2.8mm2
, are protected inside the detector.
The extremely large, symmetrical FOV of the detector of more than 90 degrees enables flames to be detected within the greatest possible angular range. In addition to this, pyroelements, each with a particularly large sensitive surface of 2 × 2mm2
, ensure an ideal signal-to-noise ratio. The LRM-244 is a part a complete
product series of miniaturised pyroelectric detectors. All dual and quad channel detectors of this LRM series incorporate a modular stack design. They prove to be extremely powerful, ensure a wide field of view (FOV) and are available with and without thermal compensation.
