ABOUT THE ARC PLUS SYSTEM
The ARC Plus Touch that you purchased is part of an integrated system of products that work together to
provide just the right balance of capabilities for many different types and styles of operations. As requirements
dictate, the ARC Plus system can be reconfigured easily.
COMPONENTS AND DOCUMENTATION
ARC Plus refers to the ARC Plus product line in general as
well as to the previous model unit of the same name. The
ARC Plus Touch is the flagship of the ARC Plus line and is
the topic of this manual, with reference to the ARC Plus
Version 3 manual. The ARC Plus SL is also available and is
covered in the ARC Plus Version 3 manual.
A model ESI Plus Telephone Speech Unit can be added to the
ARC Plus Touch. (If your unit has this option there will be a
pair of RJ-11s on the rear panel.) The ESI Plus operation is
described in the ARC Plus Version 3 manual. (The older term
ARC Plus SA referred to an ARC Plus unit with an added ESI
Plus.)
Interface to analog and status inputs and command outputs is done through
Plus-X units while direct transmitter interface can be done through PlusConnect
units available for select transmitters. All I/O units are described in separate
documentation. Data connections are typically IP based although modem
options are available as discussed in the ARC Plus Version 3 manual.
Firmware for the ARC Plus Touch is described below and is covered in detail in
this manual and the ARC Plus Version 3 manual. Compatible software includes
AutoPilot® 2010, described in a separate manual and AutoLoad Plus, described
in the ARC Plus Version 3 manual.
