2. Description of the equipment
2.1 ACTEON 5000 transmitter.
2.1.1 General description.
The ACTEON 5000 digital transmitter can be connected to two digital sensors in the PONSEL
MESURE range to monitor the following parameters: pH, redox, temperature, dissolved oxygen (using
optical technology), conductivity, salinity, turbidity (NTU, mg /L), Suspended Solid, Sludge blanket
detection….
The values measured are displayed and transmitted using analog or digital technology. The
preconfigured regulation functions can be used to optimize the control of processes.
The ACTEON 5000 is used in combination with a wide range of interference-resistant digital sensors,
offering pre-amplification features built into the sensor and digital signal processing. All the data
regarding the calibration, history, users and measurements is processed directly within the sensor,
thus delivering very high levels of traceability and enhancing the reliability of the measurements.

2.2 Digital sensors.
The digital sensors in the PONSEL range are equipped with galvanic isolation and can perform digital
signal processing to optimize the reliability of the measurements and data sent to the ACTEON 5000
terminal.
All the data regarding the calibration, calibration history, users and measurements is processed
directly within the sensor and transmitted via a Modbus RS-485 link.
The range of digital sensors can be used to measure a variety of parameters: temperature, dissolved
oxygen, pH, redox potential, conductivity (4-electrode or inductive measurement principle), turbidity
and suspended solids.
2.2.1 OPTOD sensor: dissolved oxygen (optical technology).
The OPTOD dissolved oxygen sensor applies the luminescence-based optical measurement
technology and measures reliably and accurately without requiring calibration.
With no consumables or maintenance required, the OPTOD sensor gives an immediate return on the
investment. The only intervention required is to replace the DO disk every two years.
Since it does not consume oxygen, the OPTOD sensor can be used in all media; even when there is a
very weak flow of water.
The body is made of passivated 316 L stainless steel or Titanium for applications in corrosive media.

2.2.2 PHEHT sensor: pH and temperature.
This PONSEL sensor is fitted with an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, used to measure pH and redox, in
a "PLASTOGEL"® KCl-saturated plasticized electrolyte.
The Plastogel® electrolyte is in direct contact with the external environment without interposition of
capillary or porous material. There is therefore no risk of fouling or deactivating the reference
electrode.
The electrode used to measure the pH is a pH-sensitive glass bulb (made from special glass) welded
to the end of a crystal tube, and the electrode for Redox measurements is a platinum disk.
Temperature: measured by an NTC thermistor inserted in a stainless steel sheath.

2.2.3 EHAN sensor: Redox and temperature.
The PONSEL sensor incorporates a reference electrode, used for ORP measurements, such as Ag /
AgCl in saturated KCl electrolyte plasticized "PLASTOGEL" ®.
The electrolyte "PLASTOGEL" ® communicates directly with the external environment without
interposition of capillary or porous. So there is no risk of clogging or defusing the reference.
The measuring electrode is in platinum (3,5mm2) presented in sealed ring on a glass rod and is for in-
situ measurements continuously
Temperature: measures via CTN.

2.2.4 NTU sensor: Turbidity in NTU-mg/l.
The measuring principle is based on nephelometry: a diode emits infrared light (850 nm) and an IR
receiving diode, set to one side at an angle of 90°, detects the amount of scattered light (standardized
measurement). The sensor can be calibrated using a Formazine standard.
This very economical optical technology requires very little maintenance and no consumables.

2.2.5 C4E sensor: 4-electrode conductivity.
The operation of the sensor is based on 4-electrode conductivity technology: an alternating current at
constant voltage is set up between a pair of graphite primary electrodes. The secondary electrodes,
made from platinum, adjust the drive potential at the primary electrodes to compensate for any fouling.
The voltage measured between the primary electrodes varies depending on the resistance of the
medium, and thus the conductivity.
