393 inch (32.8 ft or 10 m) with a 4-20mA analog and Bluetooth digital output. It can be configured via the Pyxis’s uPyxis® Mobile App or uPyxis® Desktop App. The sensor can be powered by 4 AA Li/SOCl batteries or a 24 VDC external power supply.
Transducer Rating IP68 Regulation With Pyxis’s continuous improvement policy, these specifications are subject to change without notice. 3 Unpacking Instrument Remove the instrument and accessories from the shipping container and inspect each item for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Verify that all accessory items are included. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact Pyxis Lab Customer Service at service@pyxis-lab.com.
These batteries are unique and available through Pyxis Lab (P/N: 50731). Typical battery life after replac- ing a new battery set is about 6 months with a 60 minute measurement interval. The LSP Series battery compartment is shown in Figure 3.
Failure to do so may result in water/moisture damage to the sensor. 5. Firmly tighten the hex bolts to prevent the LSP Series sensor from accidentally being turned on or off due to vibration.

Figure 5. Display/Processor Module Dimension, inch (mm) The display/processor module of the LSP Series sensor can be installed to a 1-inch bulkhead fitting on the top of the tank. Alternatively, you may also use the LSP Series Mounting Bracket (P/N: 50770) for installations where top tank mount may be to too high for visual display verification.
5 Instrument Overview 5.1 Function Buttons The buttons on top of the LSP Series sensor (Figure 7) are used to select one of four display modes, one of three Bluetooth modes, and one of four measurement modes. NOTE The function buttons are not used to configure the sensor.

The date/time will reset to 2000-01-01 00:00:00 on every power-on operation. When the LSP Series sensor is connected to a phone or PC via the uPyxis® App, the date/time will be automatically set according to the phone or PC’s clock. The wrong system date/time does not affect the sensor measurement function, but the time stamp in the data log will be incorrect.

6.5 Settings Screen The LSP Series sensor measures the hydrostatic pressure created by the liquid level in the tank. Convert- ing this measured pressure value to other parameters such as the tank level and the remaining liquid vol- ume in gallons requires the tank volume capacity, the tank maximum liquid height measured from the bottom of the tank to the liquid surface when filled to the rated capacity, and the density of the liquid.
6.6 Datalog Screen From the Datalog screen, you can view and download the data records of the LSP Series sensor. To view the records, press Read Records, then press either Read Overview, Read Last 100, or Read All. To download the records, press Export/Share.
7.2 Connecting to uPyxis® Desktop App Connect the LSP Series sensor to a Windows computer using a Bluetooth/USB adapter (P/N: MA-NEB) ac- cording to the following steps: 1. Plug the Bluetooth/USB adapter into a USB port in the computer. 2. Hold the key on LSP Series sensor until the Bluetooth mode changes to Peripheral mode ( P).

LSP Series sensor for practical purposes. 8.2 Communication Using Modbus RTU The LSP Series sensor can be configured as a Modbus slave device via RS-485. In addition to the level and volume, many operational parameters, including warning and error messages, are available via a Modbus RTU connection.
10 Regulatory Approval United States The LSP Series sensor has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
