VisiFerm RS485 Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensors
VisiFerm RS485 sensors combine optical measurement technology with Arc Intelligent sensor outputs. The VisiFerm RS485 sensor is a great choice for direct connection to the PCS control system. No additional transmitter is required. Sensor configuration and calibration is performed through ArcAir software. Communication with the VisiFerm sensor and ArcAir can be accomplished through Bluetooth wireless or standard wired connection to a PC or laptop.

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. -
What is the expected lifetime and when should I replace my ODO cap?
ODO cap health is process specific, with a cap quality indicator in ArcAir representing the general health of the ODO cap. ODO cap quality replacement is advised at 35%, however, some customers may replace ODO caps as part of a preventative maintenance program before reaching 35%. Click to learn more. -
Can I use a VisiFerm, VisiPro, or VisiTrace for gas phase oxygen measurements?
Yes. Optical DO sensors can be used for monitoring oxygen contents in air as well as dissolved oxygen.
