MAINTENANCE • TROUBLESHOOTING
14Maintenance
The Arc View Handheld housing is moderately inert to chemical exposure. However, some
chemicals may discolor the surface of the unit.
It is recommended to rinse the Arc View Handheld surface with water after every use in the
process or lab environment or at least once per day. Make sure that the Arc View Handheld is
switched off during the cleaning procedure.
NOTE: The cleaning guidelines presented here are meant as guide only. If applications
require different cleaning solutions, contact Hamilton for more information.
15Troubleshooting
The Arc sensors provide a self-diagnostic functionality to detect and identify the most common
malfunctions. All Arc sensor interfaces, both analog 4-20 mA and digital Modbus, may provide
warning and error messages. The analog 4–20 mA interface can be configured according to the
NAMUR recommendations to indicate an abnormal event (See Arc sensor manual). Use the Arc
View Handheld for monitoring the sensor status and for troubleshooting. The following types of
messages are provided by the self-diagnosis function.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Indicator status
What does it mean?
Status symbol on the Arc View
Handheld for a sensor is green
The connectivity to the sensor is OK. The sensor is running
correctly and has no warnings and errors.
(Flashing green indicates data exchange with the Arc sensor.
This is normal.)
Status symbol on the Arc View
Handheld for sensor is yellow
The connection to the sensor is OK. However, the sensor
indicates some error or warning. To analyze the problem,
go to “Configuration > Sensor status”.
(Flashing yellow indicates that the Arc View Handheld is being
updated with data from a sensor with a warning or error status.)
Status symbol on the Arc View
Handheld for sensor is red
The Arc View Handheld lost connection to the sensor due to
one of the following reasons:
• The wireless signal strength is low.
• The Arc Wi Sensor Adapter has been removed from the sensor.
• The Arc sensor electronics is defective.
In the first case, move closer to the sensor of interest.
In addition, the latter cases are indicated by a red light on the
corresponding Arc Wi Sensor Adapter.
NOTE: Errors cannot be ignored and a corrective action is immediately necessary.
NOTE: Warnings can be ignored but the warning will be displayed continuously until
the corrective action is successfully completed.
NOTE: For additional information about the Arc sensor status and their diagnostics
features refer to the Arc sensor operation instruction manual and Arc programmer`s
manuals.
