Anatomy of an Arc Sensor
Arc sensor technology offers a new way to think about how sensors are installed and managed by eliminating the transmitter. Click on the headers to the right below to learn more.
Arc Components
-
Arc MicroTransmitter
The transmitter is built into the sensor. Data stays with the sensor at all times.
-
Arc Wi Wireless Adapters
Optional Arc Wi adapters enable Bluetooth communication while maintaining hardwired control signals.
-
Hardwired Sensor Output
Arc sensors include a robust connection directly to the process control system.
-
ArcAir Software
Configure, calibrate, and troubleshoot Arc sensors through ArcAir software.
Specific Applications
-
App Note - Continuous Cyanobacteria - Limnospora (Spirulina) Monitoring in the MELiSSA Loop using Dencytee
Drift free long term biomass monitoring for better understanding of process dynamics -
App Note - Arc DO in recombinant protein fermentation
Albumedix, a technology developer in albumin-based products in Nottingham, UK, has integrated the 4-20 mA signal VisiFerm DO provides into their existing controllers to achive reduced downtimes and higher efficiency.

How do I communicate with an Arc sensor?
Arc sensors have a built-in micro-transmitter within the sensor. ArcAir software is a powerful tool to access data, configure and calibrate the sensor. This can be done with Bluetooth wireless communication or with a wired connection directly to a PC. -
Which wireless adapter do I need for my sensor?
Hamilton makes two Bluetooth wireless adapters - Wi 1G and Wi 2G. The Wi 1G is designed for VisiFerm sensors using the ECS (nA) signal. The Wi 2G is better choice with Arc sensors.
