TEMPHION INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INFORMATION Initial Inspection and Handling Upon receipt of your smart sensor, inspect the shipping package for damage. If any damage is apparent, note the signs of damage on the appropriate shipping form. After opening the carton, look for concealed damage, such as a cut cable. If concealed damage is found, immediately file a claim with the carrier.

TEMPHION INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION Installing the Sensor The black reference reservoir at the lower end of the Note about Calibration TempHion Smart Sensor is shipped filled with Seametrics reference solution. (If your reference reservoir is not filled, The TempHion must be calibrated before deploying. see the Maintenance section in this manual.) The black The TempHion has one temperature channel and four reference assembly has two grooves.

DIRECT READ MODBUS & SDI - 12 TEMPHION INSTRUCTIONS Reading via SDI-12 SDI-12 commands always return values for all four TempHion channels – temperature, pH, ORP, and ISE channels. Most TempHions are configured either as temperature, pH, and ISE or just temperature and ISE (such as Chloride or Bromide). You will need to disregard the readings for the channel(s) you do not have configured on your unit.
