When in the Diagnosis screen you can view the Diagnosis Condition of the device. This feature may be used for technical support when communicating with service@pyxis-lab.com. To preform a sensor Cleanliness Check, first select the Diagnosis Condition which defines the fluid type that the ST-588 sensor is currently measuring, then click Cleanliness Check.
Figure 16. 7.3 Communication using Modbus RTU The ST-588 sensor is configured as a Modbus slave device. In addition to the Fluorescent Polymer ppm and PTSA ppb values, many operational parameters, including warning and error messages, are available via a Modbus RTU connection.
ST-588 sensor is used as part of an automated control system. When used to control product dosing, it is suggested that the automation sys- tem be configured 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-588 sensor, soak the lower half of the sensor in 100 mL inline sensor cleaning solution for 10 minutes. Rinse the ST-588 sensor with distilled water and then check for the flashing blue light inside the ST-588 sensor quartz tube. If the surface is not entirely clean, continue to soak the ST-588 sensor for an additional 10 minutes.
