- Assembly, electrical connection, activation, operation and maintenance of the
measuring system must only be carried out by specialist personnel authorised by the
user of the facilities.
- The specialist personnel must be familiar with this activation manual and are to follow
its instructions.
- Before carrying out connection, make sure that the power supply is compliant with the
directions mentioned on the nameplate.
- A clearly signposted current switch must be installed nearby the device.
- Before turning the system on, check all the connections.
- Do not activate damaged devices; they represent a hazard and should be labelled as

Comment:
If the connection cable between the pH sensor and transmitter is longer than 10 metres, a leak-tight IP 68
connection box with integrated pre-amplifier must be used (REF: PON-BJAI-E PH/EH/°C ).

A protective hood (PON-PDPVC-1) is available for mounting the ACTEON 2010.
The hood is essential in the case of direct exposure to adverse weather or sunshine.

2.3.2 Installation of a sensor with a (elbowed or straight) sensor-holder perch and
nozzle (PONPPCC-PH/EH or PONPPCD-PH/EH)
For immersing the sensor in a tank, it is better to use the elbowed sensor-holder perch:

Comment:
Use an elbowed sensor-holder in tanks that are heavily soiled in order to avoid the build up of
fibres on the perch.
Installation of the pH sensor in the nozzle:
1) Dismantle the sensor-holder perch then remove the nozzle from the bottom of the perch by removing its
tightening screw.
2) Introduce a solid wire into the perch then a string.
3) Take the sensor and remove its protective casing and two ring-type joints.
Henceforth, handle the sensor with care. Breakage of the glass bulb is not covered by the
guarantee.
4) Attach the end of the sensor to the string and lower it from the top to the bottom of the perch by pulling
on the string.
5) Remove the string then place the sensor in the nozzle and let it protrude by around twenty centimetres.
6) Replace only the ring-type joint nearest to the glass part.
7) Leave the tip of the sensor flush with the end of the nozzle, to within a millimetre. Fasten the sensor in
place by screwing the tightening screw.
8) Replace the nozzle on the perch and fasten it using the tightening screw.
9) Set the perch in a vertical position using our stand with slider or other sort of system. Adjust the
immersion parameters so that the nozzle always remains immersed and so that the more than 0.50 cm is
immersed.
10) Position the sensor so that direction of liquid flow comes from behind the nozzle in order to avoid the
build up of fibres.

2.3.3 Installation of an ESHP (Elbowed Sensor-Holder Perch) or SSHP (Straight
Sensor-Holder Perch) on a QRPM (Quick Release Perch Mount) (PONSPFR
and PONSPFR2)
1) Fix the stainless steel QRPM to the infrastructure.
2) Next, fix a sensor-holder perch to the stainless steel QRPM as shown in the diagram below.
Figure 7– Installation of a perch on a QPRM with one or two sliders
It is possible to install a second slider in order to install a second sensor-holder perch for the temperature sensor
(see diagram above).

PONSEL Reference: NOTICE_ACTEON_2010_v001-UK V: 001 14/56
2.3.4 Installation of a pH sensor cleaning system
So as to lengthen the time between each clean, use the compressed air cleaning system (PONCA-HXI).
1) Dismantle the sensor-holder perch then remove the nozzle from the bottom of the perch by removing its
tightening screw.
2) Introduce a solid wire into the perch then a string.
3) Take the sensor and remove its protective casing and two ring-type joints.
Henceforth, handle the sensor with care. Breakage of the glass bulb is not covered by the
guarantee.
4) Attach the end of the sensor to the string and lower it from the top to the bottom of the perch by pulling

6) Replace only the ring-type joint nearest to the glass part.

9) Set the perch in a vertical position using our stand with slider or other sort of system. Adjust the
immersion parameters so that the nozzle always remains immersed and so that the more than 0.50 cm is
