Hamilton Arc Peripherals and ArcAir Software (Arc View Mobile, Arc Wi Pivot, Arc USB, ArcAir)

Hamilton Arc peripherals and the ArcAir software are the management layer for Hamilton Arc sensors: they configure, calibrate and document sensors that carry a micro-transmitter in the sensor head, over Bluetooth or over a USB or RS485 cable. The range covers the Arc View Mobile handheld (REF 10071111 and 10071113), the Arc Wi Pivot adapter family (REF 10191873 series), the Arc USB Power Cable (REF 243490-01 and -02) and the ArcAir Advanced License Key (REF 10155643). As one of Hamilton’s distributors in Turkey, Mikron Proses (Üsküdar, Istanbul) helps you select the Arc accessories that fit your GMP and automation architecture and provides application consulting for commissioning and calibration.

ArcAir: one tool for sensor management

ArcAir is described by Hamilton as one tool for sensor management that is ready for GMP compliance. It offers wireless configuration and calibration, a common interface for mobile, tablet and PC, automated validation and documentation, and readiness for compliance with FDA CFR 21 Part 11 and EudraLex Volume 4 Annex 11. Reports can be printed for sign-off or saved as PDF, and mobile data is synchronized to a centralized database.

The standard ArcAir software is upgraded to the Advanced version with the ArcAir Advanced License Key, a physical USB device. The Advanced version adds the functions that GMP facilities need, such as user roles, electronic signatures and an audit trail view.

Arc View Mobile: portable monitoring and calibration

Arc View Mobile lets an operator monitor measurement values, calibrate Arc sensors and configure parameters from one unified interface for all Hamilton Arc sensors. It is based on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active tablet and comes pre-configured with the ArcAir application, an app blocker application and a power supply. It is offered as Arc View Mobile Basic (REF 10071111) and Arc View Mobile Advanced (REF 10071113).

Arc Wi Pivot family: wireless or wired adapter

Arc Wi Pivot is a compact, pivoting adapter that improves installation freedom and delivers stable 4-20 mA signals with galvanic isolation. Selected models support wireless setup through encrypted Bluetooth; where wireless is not wanted, the family also runs fully wired. It works with all Arc VP-head sensors. The three models are Arc Wi Pivot BT (REF 10191873-1110), Arc Wi Pivot BT mA-2 (REF 10191873-1212) and Arc Wi Pivot mA-2 (REF 10191873-1202).

Connection accessories

• Arc USB Power Cable: a 2 m cable for connecting Arc sensors to the ArcAir software, available with a VP8 connector (REF 243490-01) or an M12-8 Pole connector (REF 243490-02).
• USB RS485 Modbus Converter: designed for wired communication between ArcAir and the VisiWater DO fix-cable sensor (REF 242411).
