ARC Facilities

For occasions when certain equipment requires documentation, users may link the Owner’s Manual or the Maintenance Guide to the equipment. Equipment can have multiple documents linked. For instance, if a building has four air handler units of model Aero39, each of the Aero39 air handlers could be linked to a single owner’s manual document and a maintenance guide, while each might also be linked to their respective invoices or installation certificates.
