Sierra to Present Live Demo of Award-Winning Smart-Trak® 2

MONTEREY, CA — February 5, 2010 — Sierra Instruments has just announced that they will be featuring a live demonstration of their new Smart-Trak® 2 mass flow controller, coupled with Compod™, at the Pittcon Expo in Orlando, Florida, starting February 28. A recent recipient of the 2009 Flow Control Innovations Award, Sierra’s new technology introduces unprecedented intelligence to digital mass flow measurement and control.

“At Sierra, we’re committed to thinking ahead, says Matthew Olin, President. “Our new Smart-Trak® 2 mass flow controller, coupled with Compod™ demonstrates that commitment. The result of over five years of user feedback, our next generation mass flow controller delivers the kind of control, independence and flexibility that leading companies and growth enterprises will need to take advantage of the huge opportunities we see on the horizon.”

Reliable, stable and smooth gas mass flow control is now within reach as a result of the proprietary Sierra Frictionless-Hovering Valve Technology™ inside every Smart-Trak® 2. Now, users can experience the most advanced direct-acting control valve available, and unlike other valves, it has shut-off capability.

With Smart-Trak® 2, you can independently adjust calibration in the field for any of the 10 pre-programmed Dial-A-Gas® gasses. The user-friendly Pilot Module control/readout interface lets you view and adjust critical control functions at any time.

Plug Sierra’s innovative new CompodTM into the face of your Smart-Trak® 2 to streamline, simplify and save! Smart-Trak® 2 becomes a fully network-enabled, multi-drop RS-485 / Modbus RTU device, allowing you to reduce costs by automating complex gas processes like gas mixing, gas ratio control, batch control, leak testing and process monitoring.
