Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are your payment terms?
Payment terms for customers with credit accounts are 30 days. A credit account may be
granted on receipt of satisfactory trade references. Acceptable methods of payment are
bankers drafts, cheques (Sterling or US dollars), telegraphic transfers, BACS (UK only)

2. What is your standard Warranty
Returns Procedure?
See Statement of Warranty
3. Do you have distributors in
other countries?
We have found the most effective method of dealing with our OEM customers is by direct
communication, rather than by using distributors in other countries. Our ability to
communicate directly has been enhanced in recent years by rapid developments in global
communications technologies.
4. What are the lead times for
sensors?
Lead times are updated daily and are available on request from City Technology's Customer
Services Team. However, the following general rules apply:
Lead times for small quantities are in the order of 7-10 days. Large quantities carry lead
times of up to 28 days. Traditional products such as the metal can oxygen sensors tend to
have the shortest lead times, whilst more complicated items featuring electronic circuitry
e.g.A3ME/F or A3ME/D carry longer lead times. An ex-stock facility is available on many
items.
5. How many people work at City
Technology?
The company has undergone rapid growth during the past two decades, such that it now
employs more than 250 staff. The design and manufacture of gas sensors (and accessories)
takes place at the custom-built City Technology Centre on the South Coast of England
(Portsmouth, UK). The site houses a large Research and Development facility and a
streamlined manufacturing operation.
6. How do I open an account?
In the first instance contact your customer services representative or technical advisor
at City Technology. You will be asked to provide your company details including full
address, delivery address (if different) and the names of key purchasing and accounts
contacts. The information you provide will enable us to open a Proforma account on your

labels?
Company specific labels can be provided, where sensors are required in sufficient volume.

contact your CTL Customer Service representative for more details.
9. Do you supply replacement sensors
for Instruments?
City Technology is a volume supplier of gas sensors to original equipment manufacturers,
and hence it is not company policy to supply replacement sensors for instruments. These
should be purchased direct from the instrument manufacturer who can ensure that you are
supplied with the correct replacement for your instrument.
