  • Page 4: Introducing The Pyxis Lt-635 Sensor

    The instrument is virtually maintenance-free, and the self-cleaning capability of the sensor prevents deviations caused by air bubbles and sludge particulate. The LT-635 can be powered by a 24 VDC/6W power supply and offers fully integrated 4-20 mA and RS-485 Modbus output signals for connection to any controller, PLC or DCS network.

    1.4 Standard Accessories The following accessories are included in the LT-635 sensor package (as shown in Error! Reference source not found.): • One LT-635 sensor with bulkhead terminated cable w/8-Pin Female Adapter (33 feet / 10m) • One MA-1.5CR Flying Lead Cable w/8-Pin Male Adapter/Flying Lead (4.9 feet / 1.5m) •...
  • Page 7: Quick 4-20Ma Start

    2 Quick 4-20mA Start Follow the wiring table below to connect the LT-635 sensor to a controller or PLC. *NOTE* All Pyxis sensors provide a passive 4-20mA output signal, they are NOT LOOP POWERED. 24VDC+ power supply and 4- 20mA+ signal are independent of each other in all Pyxis Lab sensors.
  • Page 8: Installation

    Figure 2 and 2A. For installation, the MA-120-C bracket should permanently mounted in a fixed position for easy access to the LT-635 sensor and piping. For sensor replacement and maintenance, users only need to lift (vertically/upwards) the sliding block and conduit with the mounted sensor from MA-120-C bracket.
  • Page 9 This method of installation enables use of the LT-635 in clarifier or thickener sludge bed depth profiling. Users may mark measurement increments on the user provided lifting chain/cable and the LT-635 sensor may be slowly lowered into the clarifier/thickener.

    Be sure to turn on Bluetooth in the mobile device (please do not pair the device Bluetooth to any Pyxis device, the uPyxis APP will do the pairing). Open the uPyxis APP in the mobile device. Finger swipe the screen downward to refresh the screen and scan for the available Pyxis Bluetooth devices. The discovered devices will be listed (see Figure 6).

    Figure 6 Figure 7 Tap the discovered LT-635 series sensor to connect to it via Bluetooth. The uPyxis APP can identify the sensor type if multiple Pyxis sensors are discovered in the scan. As shown in Figure7, when connected via the MA-CR Bluetooth adapter, the uPyxis calibration page will display the current suspended solids concentration value being measured by the LT-635 sensor connected.
