Arc Sensors - Signal Averaging

Certain applications may introduce conditions that create fluctuating or "noisy" measurements. The noisy measurement can make process control challenging. One way to improve signal stability is to adjust the moving average setting using ArcAir software.

FAQ

Does carbon dioxide sparging impact my DO measurement?

CO2 sparging will not impact the DO measurement using an optical DO sensor. CO2 can impact traditional polarographic DO sensors over time thus more frequent electrolyte replacement may be needed.

FAQ

What's the difference between an ECS and an Arc: Modbus output?

The ECS interface mimics a traditional polarographic DO sensor output signal (nA). The Arc output provides both 4 - 20mA and Modbus digital outputs.

FAQ

Why should I upgrade my optical DO sensor to VisiFerm RS485?

The VisiFerm RS485 has new electronics offering end users a more robustness and higher performing sensor all while being compatible within existing installations by keeping the same total sensor length. Improved functionalities allow for more accurate calibrations along with diagnostics features such as cap and sensor quality indicators.
