    Furthermore, additional advanced settings offer full control of all features of the transmitter (see chapter 4). Option C: The AquapHOx® Transmitter also features analog outputs (4-20mA or 0-5V). Configuration of the analog outputs, sample rate, as well as calibration of...
  • Page 5: Overview

    AquapHOx® Transmitter | Manual OVERVIEW The front of the AquapHOx® Transmitter provides the port for connecting optical sensors using the PyroScience SUB-connector, the fixed NTC temperature sensor for automatic temperature compensation, and a mounting thread for calibration caps or protective caps for deployment.
  • Page 6: Air Pressure Compensation

    AquapHOx® Transmitter | Manual offers a high-precision, fast responding NTC temperature sensor. This sensor is fixed to the housing, it cannot be removed. Air Pressure Compensation APHOX devices, the Pyro Workbench offers two ways to compensate for deviating ambient air pressure at the water surface. The ambient air pressure can either be entered in hPa as fixed pressure (measured at the water surface), or in approx.
  • Page 7: Option A: Operating The Transmitter With Pyro Workbench

    AquapHOx® Transmitter | Manual OPTION A: OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER WITH PYRO WORKBENCH The AquapHOx® Transmitter can be operated with the user-friendly software Pyro Workbench. This software offers comfortable settings and calibration wizards, as well as advanced logging features. Several transmitters can be operated in parallel within a single window.
  • Page 8: Option B: Operating The Transmitter With Pyro Developertool

    AquapHOx® Transmitter | Manual OPTION B: OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER WITH PYRO DEVELOPERTOOL The software Pyro DeveloperTool offers simple settings and calibration procedures, as well as basic logging features. Furthermore, additional advanced settings offer full control over all features of the module.
  • Page 9: Option C: Read-Out Using The Analog Outputs

    AquapHOx® Transmitter | Manual OPTION C: READ-OUT USING THE ANALOG OUTPUTS The AquapHOx® Transmitter offers read-out using analog outputs. This can be realized by adjusting the settings and performing sensor calibrations using the PyroScience software Pyro Workbench Pyro DeveloperTool. Analog Output...
  • Page 10: Option D: Rs485-Modbus-Interface

    All optical meters from PyroScience with firmware generation 4 (i.e., firmware version >= 4.0, introduced in 2020) comply to the so called PyroScience Unified Protocol (PSUP). All further details, especially the Modbus register map, can be found in the reference...
  • Page 11: Handling Instructions

    AquapHOx® Transmitter | Manual HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS This chapter provides general handling instructions, assuming that usage of a PyroScience software (refer to 3 or 4). For in-depth information especially on sensor settings and sensor calibration, please refer to the respective Analyte Sensor Manual for oxygen, pH or optical temperature sensors available at https://www.pyroscience.com/en/downloads/underwater-devices...
  • Page 12: Sensor Settings

    When using the calibration cap, it is possible to put wet paper tissues or a sponge onto the bottom of the calibration cap and screw it on the AquapHOx® device to perform a calibration at air with 100% relative humidity.
  • Page 13: Calibration Of Ph Sensors

    AquapHOx® Transmitter | Manual Calibration of pH Sensors • A one-point calibration is obligatory to start measurements. • A two-point calibration is highly recommended before every measurement. • A pH offset-adjustment is recommended only for advanced applications, e.g. measurements in complex media.
  • Page 14: Calibration Of Optical Temperature Sensors

    AquapHOx® Transmitter | Manual Calibration of Optical Temperature Sensors All AquapHOx® devices are capable of using PyroScience optical temperature fiber sensors. Calibration of these sensors can be performed by using the internal temperature sensor. • Click on Calibrate and follow the calibration instructions.
