Hamilton ARC intelligent sensors

The Applikon Livit Flex, ez2-Control, my-Control, in-Control and SUB-Control One support full integration of the Hamilton ARC sensor technology. The only thing needed to get access to the full ARC sensor technology information is the activation of the Hamilton ARC driver in your Applikon control system.

HAMILTON ARC eases the integration of sensors by rethinking communication between sensors, end users and process control systems. The functionality of a traditional transmitter has been replaced by a microprocessor within the sensor. ARC sensors bypass the transmitter and communicate directly to the Applikon process control system. Sensors are available in all standard pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity formats.

The transmitter of the ARC sensors is built into the sensor. The specific sensor data stay with the sensor at all times.

Arc sensors include a robust connection directly to the Applikon process control system. This allows easy configuration, calibration, and troubleshooting of Arc sensors though the Applikon controller software using the familiar Applikon controller human interface.

Visiferm Optische DO Sensoren

Optical sensors measure using an oxygen-sensitive fluorescent dye. The dye requires no equilibration time so it is instantly ready for use. A quality indicator displays the health of the sensor cap, and maintenance is as simple as removing and reinstalling the cap.

Benefits of going with Optical Dissolved Oxygen

Optical dissolved oxygen sensors offer a significant improvement over traditional amperometric sensors commonly used in the demanding applications found in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and beverage applications. Process related drift due to carbon dioxide and other acid gases is fully eliminated with optical technology. Maintenance and calibration intervals can also be extended as optical sensors do not require electrolyte or internal cathode/anode replacement. Finally, optical sensors have no polarization time thus can accurately measure oxygen immediately upon power up.

  • Insensitive to CO2 fouling
  • Eliminates polarization
  • Simplifies maintenance with a single replacement part
  • No electrolyte to contaminate the process
  • Quicker response time
  • Measurement is independent of flow
  • Stable against pressure spikes
  • Can be installed inverted
  • Insensitive to poisoners like H2S and Ammonia

How does optical dissolved oxygen work?

The sensing element for an optical DO sensor is an oxygen sensitive luminophore. A blue light from the sensor excites the luminophore. When the excited molecule returns to its ground state it gives off red light. In the presence of oxygen some of the energy is transferred to the oxygen molecule. The oxygen measurement is made by comparing the excitation light (blue) to the emitted light (red).

Easyferm pH Plus Sensor

pH (hydrogen ion concentration) is a critical measurement and control parameters for many liquid processes. Hamilton Process Analytics offers a wide selection of pH probe and ORP probe solutions for use in all bioprocesses. 

EasyFerm Plus Arc pH sensors combine the accuracy and longevity of pre-pressurized reference technology with Arc Intelligence. Arc sensors offer industry standard 4 - 20mA and Modbus RTU output signals directly from the sensor for connection to the Process Control System. Arc technology complies with the the needs of the pharmaceutical industry with the ability to autoclave, SIP, or CIP clean the sensor.
