Mounting
GB pHix Compact Manual 100318
Mounting in open channels and reservoirs
Due to the lifetime of the electrode and
measurement accuracy, the following should
possibly be complied with when mounting
pHix
® Compact.
1: pHix ® Compact should be mounted on a
location with a good liquid circulation.
2: The electrode tip should be minimum 30
cm below the liquid surface.
3: The electrode tip must not touch the
bottom.
Suspended in the cable
If the liquid is flowing relatively slow and
therefore giving no risk of pHix
® Compact
hitting the side of the channel/reservoir,
pHix
® Compact may be suspended in the
cable by means of a cable bracket.
Mechanical mounting
General
pHix
® Compact is made from Ryton (PPS)
and stainless steel (EN 1.4404 / ASTM
316L), and has because of this a tremende-
ous resistance against chemicals.
pHix
® Compact can be used without any
further preparation for measuring in solvents
and strong basic or acid liquids.
Open and closed systems
pHix
® Compact is designed for measuring in
both open and closed systems.
Open systems is e.g. gutters, wells, and
reservoirs. Closed systems is e.g. pipe
systems or tanks/vessels.
pHix ® Compact is submerged directly into the
liquid and is suspended in the cable by means of a
cable bracket (item no. 560916).
pHix ® Compact con-
forms to pressure
class PN 5, and can
therefore be mounted
in closed systems
with a working pres-
sure of max. 5 bar.
pHix ® Compact
has class IP 68
enclosure, and
therefore withstands
submersion into open
system to a max.
pressure of
1 bar / 10 mWG.
