ARC 1

ARC1 2.0, the second generation, combines a fast reaction time of just a few microseconds with an even higher light sensitivity significantly less than 1 lux. The new version with two detector channels has been specially developed to monitor isolator assemblies (circulator + load) and for coincident arc detection. A global interlock signal can be obtained by logical OR (as standard) or AND (optional) connection of both Arc signals.

ARC1 is optically connected to the Arc-Viewport of the microwave components to be monitored via a low-loss fiber optic cable. Standard FSMA connections are used as optical interfaces.

• Very high light sensitivity < 1 lux and fast response time < 2 µs
• One or two detector channels with FSMA connection
• Digital and optical outputs
• Photo voltage monitor for each detector channel
• Photo voltage monitor for each detector channel
• Option: Configuration via USB software interface
