Pyxis Lab, Inc. Standard Limited Warranty Pyxis Lab warrants its products for defects in materials and workmanship. Pyxis Lab will, at its option, repair or replace instrument components that prove to be defective with new or remanufactured components (i.e., equivalent to new).
The ST-525 Series sensor is easy to calibrate using the uPyxis® Mobile or Desktop App. Any standard con- taining Fluorescein in the range of 10 to 60 ppb can be used for the calibration of the ST-525 SeriesṪ h e standard may also be the water sample itself if the Fluorescein concentration of the sample is measured and validated by a calibrated offline fluorometer.
Up to 100 psi (0.7 MPa) (65 °C) Enclosure Rating IP67 Regulation With Pyxis’s continuous improvement policy, these specifications are subject to change without notice. † See Figure 3 for ST-525SS dimensions. ST-525 Series User Manual service@pyxis-lab.com | +1 (866) 203-8397...

4.1 ST-525 Piping The provided ST-001 Tee Assembly can be connected to a pipe system through the 3/4” female ports, either socket or NPT threaded. To properly install the ST-525 sensor into the ST-001 Tee Assembly, follow the steps below: 1.
°F (49 °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 3 for ST-525SS dimensions. Figure 3. Dimension of the ST-525SS (inch) ST-525 Series User Manual service@pyxis-lab.com | +1 (866) 203-8397...
NOTE The negative 24V power terminal (power ground) and the negative 4–20mA ter- minal on the ST-525 Series sensor are internally connected. Follow the wiring table below to connect the ST-525 Series sensor to a controller: Table 2. Wire Color...
4.4 Connecting via Bluetooth A Bluetooth adapter (P/N: MA-WB) can be used to connect a ST-525 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.
5 Setup and Calibration with uPyxis® Mobile App The ST-525 Series sensor can be calibrated in a two-point (zero + slope) procedure using a deionized (DI) water sample and a standard containing 10 to 60 ppb Fluorescein. The calibration solution could be the sample water itself.
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-525 Series and its Serial Number (SN) will be displayed (Figure 4. Press on the ST-525 Series 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.

6 Setup and Calibration with uPyxis® Desktop App The ST-525 Series sensor can be calibrated in a two-point (zero + slope) procedure using a deionized (DI) water sample and a standard containing 10 to 60 ppb Fluorescein. The calibration solution could be the sample water itself.
Connect via USB-RS485 (Fig- ure 12). 4. If the connection is successful, the ST-525 Series 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.
Calibration, and 4-20mA Span. The screen also displays the reading of the device. The reading refresh rate is every 4 seconds. Follow the screen instructions for each calibration step. Figure 14. ST-525 Series User Manual service@pyxis-lab.com | +1 (866) 203-8397...
Check. If the sensor is clean, a green Clean message will be shown. If the sensor is severely fouled, a red Dirty message will be shown. In this case, follow the procedure in the Methods to Cleaning the ST-525 Series Sensor section of this manual. Figure 15.
Figure 17. 7.3 Communication using Modbus RTU The ST-525 Series sensor is configured as a Modbus slave device. In addition to the ppb Fluorescein value, many operational parameters, including warning and error messages, are available via a Modbus RTU con- nection.
ST-525 Series sensor is used as part of an auto- mated control system. When used to control product dosing, it is suggested that the automation system 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.
Figure 18. Inline Probe Cleaning Solution Kit To clean the ST-525 Series sensor, soak the lower half of the sensor in 100 mL inline sensor cleaning solution for 30 minutes. Rinse the ST-525 Series sensor with distilled water and then check for the flashing blue light inside the ST-525 Series sensor quartz tube.
