MA-150-1 Submersion Adapter Mounting Bracket and the MA-150-3 Floating Submersion Pipe Assembly. The ST-772 dissolved oxygen probe needs to be installed as shown in Figure 2. For installation, users only need to keep the MA-105-1 and MA-105-3 assemblies in place permanently. For probe replacement and maintenance, users only need to pull the MA-150-3 and DO probe from fixing bracket vertically (upwards).

4.1 Calibration and Diagnosis by uPyxis Mobile App Connect and power the ST-772 probe using the MA-CR Pyxis Bluetooth adapter (P/N: MA-CR) as shown in the following connection diagram. The power should be sourced from a 24 VDC power terminal from the receiving controller.
Pyxis Bluetooth devices. The discovered devices will be listed (Figure Tap the discovered ST-772 probe to connect to the probe. The uPyxis app can identify the probe type if multiple Pyxis probes are discovered in the scan. For legacy generation Pyxis probes, a dialog message window will be displayed to ask the user to tell the app the probe type.

. Connect and power the ST-772 probe using the MA-CR Pyxis Bluetooth adapter (P/N: MA-CR) as shown in the following connection diagram. The power should be sourced from a 24 VDC power terminal from the receiving controller. If a controller is not available, please purchase a 24 V power supply that can directly connect to the ST-772 probe with proper cable connectors from Pyxis.

(Figure 16) After the connection is established, the ST-772 probe series number and current DO in water reading are displayed on the left of the information page (Figure 17). In this page, a nickname can be assigned to the probe.
4.2.1 Calibration Remove the ST-772 dissolved oxygen probe from the water and wipe it with a damp cloth to remove debris and any biofouling. If there is water on the membrane, dry it with a soft cloth, taking special care not to damage the membrane.

Figure 26 Cleanliness check result and raw data2 4.3 Calibration Through the Controller It is recommended that ST-772 probe be calibrated by using uPyxis APP for Mobile or Desktop devices, as demonstrated in the sections above. Alternatively, a single point calibration can be carried on the receiving controller by adjusting the mA-to-DO ratio.
Solution Kit (Figure 28) may also be used to removal of heavy deposits, especially inorganics. Remove the ST-772 probe and the DO membrane cap from the water in use, wipe it with a damp cloth to remove debris and growing organisms, and use a cotton swab dipped in water to clean up the dirt on the membrane surface.
6.2 Other Common Troubleshooting Issues If the ST-772 probe output signal is not stable and fluctuates significantly, make an additional solution ground connection – connect the clear solution ground wire to a conductor that contacts the sample water electrically such as a brass pipe adjacent to the ST-772 tee.
