Arc Sensor Cables
Arc sensors output a robust 4 - 20 mA analog or digital signal. Hamilton offers both powered and non-powered VP8 cables for direct connection to the sensor or M12-8 pin cables for use with the Arc Wi 2G Bluetooth adapter. Arc pH/ORP ECS Adapters will convert the pH signal from digital back to analog for use with bioreactors or transmitters that only accept a conventional pH signal.

Connecting Arc pH to a Traditional Bioreactor?
Taking advantage of the benefits of Arc pH sensors on a traditional bioreactor requires bypassing a controller’s built-in milli-volt sensor input. The introduction of the Arc ECS Adapter simplifies this connection by utilizing the existing bioreactor milli volt input.
Hamilton offers a variety of adapter cables to connect sensors directly to the controller. The bioreactor cable guide is a filterable reference table for many well-known brands of bioreactors on the market.

What is the Arc USB Power Cable?
The Arc USB Power Cable allows direct connection of Arc sensors to a PC or laptop running ArcAir Software. The cable comes with two sensor connectors - VP for direct connection to the sensor and M12 8-pole for connection to sensors with Wi 2G BT Wireless Adapters. The Arc USB Power Cable is not compatible with VisiFerm mA, VisiTrace mA, and VisiPro sensors. -
What is the Arc pH/ORP ECS Adapter Cable?
The Arc pH/ORP ECS Adapter Cable allows Arc pH/ORP sensors to work with traditional transmitters and bioreactor inputs. The cable converts the digital Modbus signal back into millivolts for use with these devices.
