It is best to use the elbowed sensor-holder perch with its own installation system when submerging the sensor in
a tank.
Figure 5 – Elbowed Sensor-Holder Perch
Comment:
Use elbowed sensor-holder perches in heavily soiled tanks to prevent fibre build-up on the perch.
If there is a directional flow, the sensor's optical slit should be pointing in the direction of the flow.
Installing the SS sensor in the nozzle:
The standard sensor comes sealed to a 10-metre cable connection, making it submersible up to a several bars of
pressure.
1) Completely unscrew the tightening seal located on the sleeve of the SS sensor beforehand.
2) Pass the sensor cable through the bottom of the perch (widest end) until it comes out of the other end.
3) Slide the cable through the perch until the SS sensor sleeve fits into the bottom of the perch.
4) Slot the SS sensor sleeve insert in the lateral hole located in the lower end of the perch. Tighten the
lock-nut until the sensor is secured in the perch (do not over tighten).
5) Set the perch on the edge of the tank or on the bridge.

6 Calibrating the ACTEON 2050
Important information.
Calibration frequency:
The SS sensor must be calibrated (zero + slope) at least once every two weeks, during the regular optics cleaning
process.
However, recalibration is advisable as soon as a shift of more that +/-0.2g/l occurs (during automatic control
with a recently calibrated reference SS meter, or during "dry weight" analysis, while taking account of the fact
that the analysis can sometimes be delayed by up to 24 hours in relation to the current state of the active sludge
measured with the controlled PONSEL SS-meter. Hence the possible use of a "differed calibration" to
compensate for this problem).
If frequent recalibrations are carried out (once a day for example), there is no need to take the sensor + perch out
of the water, clean the optics or zero adjust in clean water. Simply adjust the slope in situ by leaving the sensor
in place in the sludge being measured.
Sensor calibration and positioning procedures: Even though, in our detailed explanations, we have always
mentioned sludge specimens taken from tanks and placed in buckets for sensor calibration, there is no objection
to calibrating the sensor in situ attached to a perch and placed in the measurement medium at the point where it
will subsequently be installed for regular measurements. The sludge content in g/l may already have been
measured for this point ("immediate calibration" or "gain adjust" menus), for instance by using a recently
calibrated reference SS meter, or sludge may be taken from near the optical measurement unit and analysed
while immediately following up with a "differed calibration" without waiting on the results of this analysis.
In this case calibrate in situ during a stable stage in the activation process. Avoid calibrating during bubble
aeration or during stagnation periods. Calibration should preferably take place after aeration. An SS sensor
should be placed in the most stable hydraulic conditions possible, without excessive turbulence or stagnation,
and with regular mixing, so that the SS are perfectly suspended in the medium and that the location is
representative of the SS content in the tank as a whole and in the active sludge area.
In situ calibration remains relevant in the sense that it integrates the hydraulic mixing regime and suspends the
SS, while sludge in a pail only approximates this hydraulic mixing regime, and can thus result in more or less
large measurement differentials in the tank after calibration. Moreover, in situ calibration is carried out at the
tank's temperature thus preventing heat shocks and shifts.

User manual
PONSEL Référence : NOTICE_ACTEON_2050_v001 V : 002 19/67
6.1 Calibrating the sensors:
Select the calibration menu in the measurement window:
6.1.1 Two point SS sensor calibration (immediate calibration):
Use the following procedure to calibrate your SS sensor in one go; zero and slope adjustments (gain adjust) are
carried out immediately afterwards. This procedure requires previous knowledge of the SS content of the
activated sludge sample used as the calibration solution. This information can be had either via a recently
calibrated reference SS meter or through analysis of a fraction of the sample sludge immediately after sample
taking then refrigerating the remaining amount at 4°C in an airtight bottle in the dark to prevent fermentation.
Once the analysis results have been obtained, the sludge can be used as calibration solution during this
"immediate calibration" procedure, provided that it is brought up to tank temperature.
Clean the SS sensor beforehand. The sensor optics must be free of dirt and stains (clean optical slit with damp
cloth). See MAINTENANCE chapter (§ 13.1.3 ) for cleaning instructions.

Dip the sensor in clean water with no bubbles (tap water
for example). Preferably, this water must be at the same
temperature as the tank sludge in which the probe will be
placed.
Stir the water with the probe to disperse any bubbles on
the optic windows.
