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).
Fluorescein in the range of 10 to 60 ppb for standard range sensors or 250-500ppb for high range sensors can be used for the calibration of the ST-525 series. The calibration standard may also be the water sample itself if the Fluorescein concentration of the sample is measured and validated by a calibrated offline fluorometer.

2. Insert the ST-525 sensor into the tee. 3. Tighten the tee nut onto the tee to form a water-tight, compression seal. Figure 2. Dimension of the ST-525 and the ST-001 Tee Assembly (mm) ST-525 Series User Manual service@pyxis-lab.com | +1 (866) 203-8397...
°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...
4.3 Wiring Follow the wiring tables below to connect the ST-525 Series probe to a receiving controller. *IMPORTANT NOTE* there are two wiring tables below based on model and serial #. The Green and White wires (4- 20mA values) are different between each table. Listed above each table the specific serial # roll in representing when this change occurred.
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 for the Standard Range and 250-500ppb for the High Range sensors.
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 9.

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 for the Standard Range and 250-500ppb for the High Range sensors.
Connect via USB-RS485 (Fig- ure 13). 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.
4-20mA Sp an. The screen also displays the reading of the de vice. The reading refresh rate is every 4 seconds. Follow the screen instructions for each calibration step. Figure 15. 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 16.
Figure 18. 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 19. 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.
