°F (40 °C). The sensor can be held by a 1.75-inch pipe clamp or mounted to a panel with four 1/4-28 bolts. See Figure 4 for ST-590SS dimensions. Figure 3. Dimension of the ST-590SS (inch) ST-590 User Manual service@pyxis-lab.com | +1 (866) 203-8397...
4.4 Connecting via Bluetooth A Bluetooth adapter (P/N: MA-WB) can be used to connect a ST-590 sensor to a smart phone with the uPyxis® Mobile App or a computer with the uPyxis® Desktop App. Figure 4. Bluetooth connection to ST-590 sensor ST-590 User Manual service@pyxis-lab.com...
4.5 Connecting via USB A USB-RS485 adapter (P/N: MA-485) can be used to connect a ST-590 sensor to a computer with the uPyxis® Desktop App. NOTE Using non-Pyxis USB-RS485 adapters may result in permanent damage of the ST- 590 sensor communication hardware.
1. Open uPyxis® Mobile App. 2. On uPyxis® Mobile App, pull down to refresh the list of available Pyxis devices. 3. If the connection is successful, the ST-590 and its Serial Number (SN) will be displayed (Figure 7). 4. Press on the ST-590 sensor image.
When connected, the uPyxis® Mobile App will default to the Calibration screen. From the Calibration screen, you can perform calibrations by pressing on Zero Calibration, Slope Calibration, and 4–20mA Span. Follow the screen instructions for each calibration step. Figure 8.

Connect via USB-RS485 (Fig- ure 12). 4. If the connection is successful, the ST-590 and its Serial Number (SN) will be displayed in the left pane of the uPyxis® window. NOTE After the sensor and Bluetooth is powered up, it may take up to 10 seconds for the adapter to establish the wireless signal for communication.
To calibrate the device, click on Calibration. On the Calibration screen there are three calibration tabs, Zero Calibration, Slope Calibration, and 4-20mA Span. The screen also displays the reading of the device. The reading refresh rate is every 4 seconds. Figure 14. ST-590 User Manual service@pyxis-lab.com | +1 (866) 203-8397...
Figure 17. 7.3 Communication using Modbus RTU The ST-590 sensor is configured as a Modbus slave device. In addition to the Fluorescent Polymer ppm value, many operational parameters, including warning and error messages, are available via a Modbus RTU connection. Contact Pyxis Lab Customer Service (service@pyxis-lab.com) for more information.
ST-590 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.
To clean the ST-590 sensor, soak the lower half of the sensor in 100 mL inline sensor cleaning solution for 10 minutes. Rinse the ST-590 sensor with distilled water and then check for the flashing blue light inside the ST-590 sensor quartz tube. If the surface is not entirely clean, continue to soak the ST-590 sensor for an additional 10 minutes.
