The mechanical resistance of the sensor and leak-tight sealing of the cable are ensured by a shaft made out of a plastic material (Delrin). Constant potential electrode to complete the electrical circuit: Potential = +0.188V at 20°C (a chlorided silver wire immersed in the plasticised electrolyte saturated with potassium chloride).

The risk of splicing error, which is low at normal temperatures, does not increase at low temperatures any more than at high temperatures. Normally, the casing should contain several drops of STORAGE SOLUTION or, failing that, a saturated KCl solution. PONSEL Reference: NOTICE_ACTEON_2010_v001-UK V: 001 52/56...
Using Vaseline, grease the ring-type joints on the delrin shaft from time to time. This eases sliding of the casing and improves storage leak-tightness. 13.2 The temperature sensor Stainless steel sensor with DELRIN shaft. Working temperature: -20 to 55°C Pressure: Max. 5 bars. Cable: stranded. PONSEL Reference: NOTICE_ACTEON_2010_v001-UK V: 001 53/56...
The glass electrode is soiled and must be cleaned (rub carefully with filter paper soaked with toluene). There is no response to pH variations: The glass electrode bulb is broken or cracked, or the connection between the sensor and ACTEON 2010 is faulty.
