 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.

 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.

 2.2.9 StacSense Sensor : parameter SAC254 and equivalent values of CODeq, BODeq, TOCeq and
Turbidity eq.

The measuring principle of this sensor is based on the attenuation of the UV signal, centered on 254
nm, through an optical slot of 2 or 50mm (two models available). The sensor delivers observed fluid
temperature measurements, SAC254 spectral attenuation coefficient (unit: 1/m), CODeq, BODeq and
TOCeq equivalents in mg/l. Finally, the equivalent unit in turbidity is FAU (Formazine Attenuation Unit).
The sensor also incorporates internal temperature measurements to optimize optical measurement.

For the main parameter SAC254 and the turbidity equivalence, the sensor is directly calibrated in clear
water in two steps, by successive activation of the two optical sources, UV and green radiation.

 3.2 Electrical connections.

3.2.1 Safety instructions – Installation.

Isolate the power supply to the measuring device before performing any electrical connection work.

The electrical wiring and cabling work must be performed exclusively by authorized
personnel.

Due to the risk of electrocution, systematically isolate the power supply to the controller
before performing electrical connection work.

Warning for the model supplied with 10 – 30V

Risk of electrocution: do not connect a device operating in mains power mode to a
model supplied with 10-30 V.

Risk of electrocution: the connection of a protective earth (PE) is compulsory when

wiring and cabling both 100-240 Va.c. and 10-30 Vd.c. models.

Warning for wiring the relays

Fire risk. Since the relay contacts have a nominal value of 6 A, the external loads
connected to the relays must be fitted with devices which limit the current to < 6 A.

Open the unit's lower cover to access the controller's wiring terminals.
Unscrew the two screws which hold the lower protective cover.
Before removing the cover, loosen all the cable glands so that the cables can slide in and out.
Figure 3 shows the transmitter's wire connection zone when the lower protective cover is removed.

 5.2 Installation of digital sensors.

When sensors are connected to the transmitter for the first time they must be installed by running a
SCAN (to scan the addresses from 1 to 243).

As soon as the transmitter detects a sensor, it displays its address, its serial number (which is also
engraved on the body of the sensor) and a description of the sensor.
In the example above, pH and oxygen sensors have been detected: the pH sensor is at address 24,
the sensor's serial number is SN-PPHRA-0762 and the description of the sensor is
pH/redox/Temperature Ponsel Mesure. The OPTOD sensor is at address 10, the serial number is SN-
PODOA-4032 and its description is OPTOD/Temperature Ponsel Mesure.

The operator can stop the SCAN operation at any time by pressing on the icon.
If no sensor is detected, or 2 sensors have the same address (an address conflict) or a communication

error is detected, then the device displays a warning message accompanied by the icon.

Pressing on the icon accesses the addressing menu (refer to section 6.2.1 for more details
about the addressing function) where the operator can change the sensor's address in the event of an
address conflict (i.e. if 2 sensors have the same address).

5.3 Selection of the parameters.

Once ACTEON has detected the sensors, the parameters measured by the sensors must be set up.
For each sensor, a primary and a secondary parameter can be selected.
To access the measurement settings menu, follow the sequence shown below from the home screen:

To set up the primary and secondary parameters for sensor 1, select the corresponding icon.

To select a different line, press on the and icons.

This window is used to calibrate the parameters measured by the selected sensor, or to set the
external compensation data.

Icon Functionality

Used to access the sensor's calibration menu

This menu is used to set up the external data used for compensation purposes

The external compensation data is detailed in the table below:

Set-up line Functionality

Atmo. pressure Atmospheric pressure compensation is applied to the OPTOD sensor
(measurement of oxygen levels using optical technology). The atmospheric
pressure sensor is built into the ACTEON 5000.
The first line is used to activate the compensation and to access a second line
which is used to adjust this parameter (possible values: 0 to 2,000 hPa).

Salinity Salinity compensation can be applied to the Oxygen in mg/L parameter

measured by the OPTOD oxygen sensor.
The first line is used to activate the compensation and to access a second line
which is used to adjust this parameter (possible values: 0 to 85.00 g/kg).

Temperature Each sensor is equipped with its own temperature sensor, and the temperature
recorded is considered if temperature compensation is required (for the pH,
oxygen in mg/L and conductivity parameters). However, it is also possible to
enter a fixed external compensation value.
The first line is used to activate the compensation and to access a second line
which is used to adjust this parameter (possible values: 0.00 to 40.00 °C).

Alpha This coefficient can be set for the Non-compensated conductivity parameter
measured by the CTZN sensor (possible values: 0.0 to 6.0 %/°C) in order to
activate linear compensation.

To select the line above or below, or to increase or reduce a value, use the and icons.

The icon confirms the value set for the external compensation data. Any changes made become
effective when the "Communication completed successfully" message appears.

Used to access the sensor’s calibration menu.

This menu is used to apply the default calibration coefficients set in the factory.

Detailed calibration log: this menu contains the data for the last ten calibrations
(offset/gain) … The coefficients for a specific calibration can be reused.

The Calibration settings window lets the operator: select the parameter to be calibrated; enter the
operator's name; select a calibration mode and set the values of the standards used.

Set-up line Functionality

Parameter The parameter to be calibrated can be selected from a drop-down menu which
offers the parameters measured by the sensor.

Operator This menu is used to enter the Operator's name (maximum of 13 characters)
which will be saved with the results of a calibration process.

Type This line appears if the parameter selected for calibration is oxygen as a %Sat.
To complete this line, the operator can select either a 2-point calibration
(OFFSET and GAIN) or a single-point calibration (GAIN only).

Mode The options are: "Single" or "Multiple" mode: when several sensors of the same
type are connected, a parameter common to all the sensors can be calibrated.
The "Single" option is used when calibrating one parameter for one sensor, and
"Multiple" is used when calibrating one parameter for 2 sensors (e.g. the
Temperature parameter measured by all the sensors, or the connection of 2 pH
sensors).

Standard 1 In the "Standard 1" window, which only appears if the value can be modified, the
value of the Standard can be set using a number pad and will be used during the
first step of the calibration for the calculation of the OFFSET.
The value which can be set cannot exceed the minimum and maximum values.

 Standard 2 In the "Standard 2" window, which only appears if the value can be modified, the
value of the Standard can be set using a number pad and will be used during the
second step of the calibration for the calculation of the GAIN.
The value which can be set cannot exceed the minimum and maximum values.

Site If a NTU sensor or a MES sensor is connected to the device and when selecting
a calibration in mg/L or in g/L, the calibration process will be saved in a file saved
under the name of the site. Up to 10 sites can be configured, each identified
using 8 characters.

Pressing on the icon validates the setting of the calibration data and starts the first calibration
step ("Standard 1" window).

In the window corresponding to the first step in the calibration, the first line indicates the value of the
N1 standard and the second line presents the measurement delivered by the sensor in contact with
the standard solution.
A message indicates if the value measured by the sensor is stable or not. The confirmation of the first
calibration step (gearwheel icon) initiates the second step ("Standard 2" window).
Once the second calibration step has been confirmed, a summary window appears which presents the
information about the values of the standards used and the coefficients calculated.

The appearance of the icon on a coefficient calculation line indicates that the coefficient has

been confirmed, whereas the icon indicates that the coefficient obtained is out-of-range.

 8. Maintenance

8.1Maintaining the transmitter:

Isolate the power to the measuring device when performing maintenance work.

Maintenance work must exclusively be carried out by authorized personnel.

Due to the risk of electrocution, disconnect the controller from the power supply
systematically when performing maintenance work on the transmitter.

Do not use a corrosive or inflammable solvent to clean the transmitter. The use of this type of solvent
could damage the device (its screen) and may invalidate the warranty.

After checking that the ACTEON 5000's protective covers are properly closed, wipe the outside of the
transmitter with a soft cloth dampened with a mixture of water and non-corrosive detergent.

➢ Replacing the lithium battery:

The lithium battery cannot be replaced by the operator; contact the after-sales service.

8.2.1 OPTOD sensor.

General description Oxygen: luminescent membrane sensitive to the oxygen level in the medium
being analyzed. Gaseous exchange between the membrane’s material and
the medium.
Temperature: NTC thermistor.

Materials 316L stainless steel version: polyamide, silicone and quartz; polyurethane
sleeve around cable.
Titanium version: polyamide, silicone and quartz; polyurethane sleeve around
cable.

Precautions The membrane is sensitive to:

- chemicals (organic solvents, acids, hydrogen peroxide),
- mechanical stresses (impacts, abrasion, tearing).
Measurement/Interference When measuring, check that bubbles do not become trapped under the
membrane.

If chlorine is present, the quality of the measurement will be impaired

(overestimate of the level of dissolved oxygen).
When immersing the sensor in the medium to be measured, wait until the
sensor's temperature has stabilized before taking the reading.
To optimize the service life of the sensor, we recommend a measurement
interval (refresh rate) of more than 5 seconds.
0 °C to 50 °C
Operating temperature Temperature compensation effective over the range 0-40 °C

Servicing After each use, rinse the sensor and the membrane carefully in clean water.
If deposits such as biofilm or sludge persist, wipe the membrane carefully with
a soft cloth or absorbent paper.
Caution: for the titanium version, clean the body of the sensor with acetone
(do not use methylated spirits, ethanol or methanol).
Caution: only unscrew the sieve cap containing the DODISK when replacing
the disk.
If the sieve cap has to be replaced, screw the new sieve cap on slowly to
allow the air to escape slowly.

Storage Keep the membrane hydrated using the protective bag and a dampened
absorbent wad of material (e.g. cotton wool. After being stored in dry
conditions, rehydrate the membrane for 12 hours by immersing the sensor in
water.

Storage temperature - 10 °C to + 60 °C
Using a clean sensor, occasionally check the 0% Sat value by immersing the
Oxygen calibration
sensor in a sulfite solution in water (sulfite concentration <2%). If there is a
zero error, perform a complete calibration of the sensor.

Caution: do not allow the sensor to remain in contact with the sulfite solution
for more than 1 hour.
The 2-point calibration is performed using a sulfite solution (for the offset)
then, after rinsing and drying, the sensor’s gain is determined by exposing the
sensor to moisture-saturated air (or to clean water saturated with air).
Temperature calibration The calibration of the temperature sensor is a 2-step process:
- step 1 (offset): the sensor is placed in a container containing a water bath
and ice,

Turbidity: nephelometric measurement by IR diffusion (wavelength: 880 nm)

General description at 90°.
Temperature: NTC thermistor.

Materials PVC, PMMA, Polyamide, POM-C, polyurethane sleeve on cable

The optical windows are sensitive to:

Precautions - chemicals (organic solvents, strong acids and bases, hydrogen
peroxide, hydrocarbons),
- mechanical stresses (impacts, abrasion).
When in use, the sensor must not come into contact with the sides or bottom
of a container. Maintain a minimum distance of 2 or 3 cm between the sides
and the sensor (depending on the concentration of the medium).

Bubbles on the optical components can interfere with the measurements.

Measurement/Interference When immersing the sensor in the medium to be measured, wait until the
sensor's temperature has stabilized before taking the reading.
If measurements are being made in a range between 0 and 20 NTU, or if the
sensor saturates (a value of 9999), it is advisable to use the protective sieve
to avoid interference from edge effects, sunlight, etc.

Operating temperature 0 °C to 50 °C

After each use, rinse the sensor carefully in clean water.

Servicing If deposits such as biofilm or sludge persist, clean the sensor carefully with
soapy water and wipe the head with a soft cloth or absorbent paper.

Storage Place the protective bag over the head of the sensor to prevent the optical
part from being scratched.
Storage temperature
- 10 °C to + 60 °C

Turbidity calibration (in The NTU sensor is an optical sensor which requires very little calibration.
NTU) Using a clean sensor, occasionally check the 0 NTU value by immersing the
sensor in clean, bubble-free water. If there is a zero error, perform a complete
calibration of the sensor (over 1 or 4 measurement ranges).
This procedure requires a formazine solution whose concentration lies
at the mid-point of the measurement range being calibrated. This
solution is prepared from a 4,000-NTU stock solution.
Use a 200 ml volumetric flask when preparing the solutions. Add the required
volume of formazine (refer to the table below) and make up to 200 ml with
distilled water.
Formazine solutions with concentrations of less than 1,000 NTU degrade
fairly quickly; do not keep the solution for more than a few days.
The 2,000 NTU solution can be kept for 2 to 3 weeks in a fridge in an opaque
bottle.

necessary to calibrate the sensor in clear water, without bubble, stabilized in
CAS calibration in 1/m temperature.
Calibration is performed in 2 steps in the same sample:
- step 1, clear water, active UV light source,
- step 2, clear water, active green light source.

Equivalent Turbidity The sensor provides equivalent turbidity information in FAU. This parameter is not
parameter calibratable (factory determined slope coefficient). However, the clear water sequence of
SAC 254 with active green light source allows an adjustment of the base signal.

The equivalence parameters COD, BOD and TOC are calculated from the main
Parameters CODeq, parameter SAC254 according to a refined law. The user accesses the independent
BODeq and TOCeq coefficients (offset and slope) for each of these three parameters.

The Stacsense sensor stores the factory coefficients below. These basic coefficients are
accessible at any time by means of the return function to the factory coefficients
Parameter offset FACTORY Slope FACTORY(a)
CODeq 0,0 1,81
BODeq 0,0 0,48
TOCeq 0,0 0,72
(a) Slope values obtained in KHP (potassium hydrogen phthalate) solution in the laboratory.

Via the «Calibration management» menu (general menu/DIGITAL IN/CAL/sensor 1 or

2/CAL), the user can access the CODeq, BODeq or TOCeq parameter. This selection

 gives immediate access to the current coefficients, offset and slope. Each line is editable
to change the value of the coefficient.

When the operator name is filled in, the ACTION button appears to inject the
coefficients values into the StacSense sensor.

For example, the user determines these own coefficients of the CODeq refining law from
representative samples, measured both with the StacSense sensor (active factory
coefficients) and in the laboratory (standardized method).
