The RC1000 is a modern, rugged, and ergonomic remote control designed for use with INFICON leak detectors such as the UL1000, UL1000FAB, UL5000, Modul1000, and UL200. It offers both wireless and wired operation, with the wireless version (RC1000WL) providing remote control up to 100 meters with over 8 hours of battery life, and the wired version (RC1000C) enabling operation up to 28 meters. The RC1000 features a full-color 3.5-inch touchscreen display that can show leak rates numerically, in chart or bar graph form, and allows for adjustable time-axis scaling from 16 seconds to 16 minutes. It supports multiple languages, has adjustable data recording intervals, and stores measured values for up to 24 hours. The device includes an internal trigger for visual and audible warnings, with the sound tone proportional to the leak rate. It also has a 3.5 mm headphone jack, IP42 protection, and can be attached to metal surfaces in any direction. The RC1000 is designed for easy substitution of previous remote control models and includes USB data transfer capabilities for downloading data to a PC.

INFICON INFICON, a global supplier of leak detection and gas analysis solutions with decades of expertise identifying hydrogen gas at the lowest concentrations, provides advanced leak detection technology enabling both quality assurance of hydrogen production systems and components as well as real-time hydrogen detection of even the smallest leaks, minimizing accident risk and ensuring production system integrity. The company's Sensistor Sentrac Hydrogen Leak Detector locates and quantifies a wide range of leaks faster and more accurately than soap spray or helium leak detection methods, serving critical applications across hydrogen electrolyzer stacks (where numerous cells with membranes, electrodes, and seals must be monitored to prevent dangerous leaks), compressed hydrogen storage (regularly inspecting compressor housings, seals, and pistons), and piping/gas manifolds where hydrogen's tiny molecular size can escape through the smallest holes in fittings, joints, and valves. INFICON's Strix hand probe, introduced for automotive applications including engine assemblies, air-conditioning systems, battery cases, brake lines, and fuel systems, is 30% lighter and 12.5% smaller-tipped than previous handheld probes, using complex algorithms to shorten measurement times, improve accuracy, and speed recovery times when connected to the Sentrac Hydrogen Leak Detector with a non-flammable hydrogen-nitrogen tracer gas mixture. As hydrogen production and applications continue expanding globally, INFICON's comprehensive leak detection portfolio -- spanning production, transportation, and storage pathways -- supports the safe deployment of hydrogen infrastructure by identifying potential leak points before they develop into major hazards or resource losses.
