1” FNPT. The ST-772 and ST-772-P dissolved oxygen sensors need to be installed as shown in Figure 1. For installation, users only need to purchase the MA-150-1 from Pyxis Lab and may obtain water-tight conduit and cable seal adapter from their supplier of choice. For sensor replacement and maintenance, users only need to pull the MA-150-1 and DO sensor from fixing bracket vertically (upward).
772-P dissolved oxygen sensors need to be installed as shown in Figure 2. For installation, users only need to purchase the MA-120-B from Pyxis Lab and may obtain water-tight conduit and cable seal adapter from their supplier of choice. For sensor replacement and maintenance, users only need to pull the MA-120-B and DO sensor from fixing bracket vertically (upwards).
The ST-772T (304SS) and ST-772T-P (CPVC) sensor may be installed in an inline flow application using the Pyxis ST-001 Inline Tee Assembly. The ST-001 offers 3/4” FNPT thread or socket weld adapters with unions for easy installation and sensor maintenance. Pyxis recommends installation in a vertical flow format from bottom up to reduce the impact of water bubbles.
4.5 Connecting via Bluetooth A Bluetooth adapter (P/N: MA-CR) can be used to connect a ST-772 Series sensor to a smart phone with the uPyxis® Mobile App or a computer with a Bluetooth/USB Adapter (P/N: MA-NEB) and the uPyxis® Desktop App.

If the sensor is fouled, a Please replace the DO membrane cap message will be shown. In this case, follow the procedure in the Methods to Cleaning the ST-772 Series section of this manual. Figure 14.
Figure 16. 7.3 Communication using Modbus RTU The ST-772 Series sensor is configured as a Modbus slave device. In addition to the dissolved oxygen ppm value, many operational parameters, including warning and error messages, are available via a Modbus RTU connection.
ST-772 Series sensor is used as part of an automated control system. When used to control product dosing, it is suggested that the automation system be config- ured to provide backup to limit potential product overfeed, for example by limiting pump size or duration, or by alarming if the pumping rate exceeds a desired maximum limit.
Figure 17. Inline Probe Cleaning Solution Kit To clean the ST-772 Series sensor, remove the sensor 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.
