The PUB has been designed with the purpose of having a continuous and non-interceptive measurement of the beam transverse position short upstream the injection in the synchrotron. Detector commissioning has not been immediate since a number of primary ions and secondary electrons fall on the PUB electrodes in many configurations, resulting in a significantly distorted signal. After the identification, and consequent rejection, of a few circumstances where the PUB cannot work properly, the commissioning proceeded on a twofold way, designing a mechanical shield to stop ions before hitting the electrodes and developing an advanced data-analysis algorithm to go beyond the signal distortion. The use of the new algorithm was sufficient to make the PUB successfully working and, after a proper calibration with upstream and downstream profile monitors, the PUB started to provide the expected results. The PUB is working as a watch-dog since January 2016. Details on the data-analysis algorithm and first year measurements are discussed in the paper.
