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-773 series uses the latest USGS equation to convert the oxygen partial pressure to DO in units of ppm or mg/L. Through setup using the uPyxis® Mobile of Desktop App, the ST-773 series sensor can output the measured oxygen partial pressure in other units such as percentage of oxygen saturation.
1.1 Main Features The ST-773 sensor includes the following features: • 0.004–20.0 mg/L measurement range • Built-in temperature sensor with automatic compensation • Accurate and stable measurement with ultra-low drift • Built-in transmitter without preamplifier or meter head • Dual Outputs both 4-20mA isolated signal or RS-485 Modbus (7-Pin Format) •...

1-inch FNPT. (Please note the ST773 outer diameter is 3/4 - inch NPT. A 3/4 to 1-inch NPT bushing is required for installation) The ST-773 dissolved oxygen sensor needs to be installed as shown in Figure 2. 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.
Mounting Bracket and probe adapter coupler in 1-inch FNPT. (Please note the ST773 outer diameter is 3/4 - inch NPT. A 3/4 to 1-inch NPT bushing is required for installation) The ST-773 dissolved oxygen sensor needs to be installed as shown in Figure 3. 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.
4.3 Pipeline Installation The ST-773 may be installed in a pressurized inline flow application as high as 75 psi (5Bar) using optional accessories (Pyxis ST-001/Collar Kit or ST-771 1-inch Threaded Adapter Kit). Pyxis recommends installation in a vertical flow format from bottom up to reduce the impact of air bubbles. Install the probe collar on the sensor and then install the sensor into the ST-001 tee assembly and ensure the DCC-6 membrane cap is in the direction of water flow as shown in Figure 4.
4.5 Connecting via Bluetooth A Bluetooth adapter (P/N: MA-WB) can be used to connect a ST-773 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.

Figure 16. 7.3 Communication using Modbus RTU The ST-773 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 con- nection.
ST-773 sensor is used as part of an automated 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 17. Inline Probe Cleaning Solution Kit To clean the ST-773 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.
