INTRODUCTION 

The ARC Plus remote monitoring and control system takes advantage of the scalability of TCP/IP to provide site-to-
site control, central monitoring and/or distributed access to hundreds of sites. Users can manage the system via 
web browser, smartphone, tablet and optional telephone and software interfaces, in any combination. Multi-site 
ARC Plus networks allow site-to-site control from the front panel of any ARC Plus or ARC Plus Touch, and 
automatic coordination of multiple facilities via onboard macros. 

FRONT PANEL

 

 

 

ALARM LED 

The Alarm LED indicates alarm activity. By default, the LED illuminates red when there is an alarm at the 
local site. It may instead be configured to illuminate when there is an alarm at any site in the ARC Plus 
network (Click or turn to 

ALARMS

 for details). When no alarm is present, the LED is green, indicating that 

power is on. 

REMOTE LED 

Indicates when link is lost or unit is in maintenance mode. 

MAINTENANCE MODE PUSHBUTTON 

Maintenance mode prohibits all commands. For safety, this can only be switched on or off locally.
