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).
1 Introduction The ST-500W is an inline PTSA Pyxis smart sensor uniquely designed to be directly inserted into the Walchem® (pH & conductivity) and/or Turner Designs (Little Dipper-2®) inline tee assemblies. The 304SS machined stainless steel body design allows users to directly insert the sensor into existing inline tee assemblies without the need for plumbing modifications of equipment already in use.
Remove the instrument and accessories from the shipping container and inspect each item for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Verify that all accessory items are included. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact Pyxis Lab Customer Service at service@pyxis-lab.com. ST-500W Inline PTSA Sensor service@pyxis-lab.com...
3.1 Standard Accessories Included with ST-500W Each ST-500W Package (P/N 58802) will include the following standard accessories. • One ST-500W Inline PTSA Sensor One Universal NUT (P/N 23133) for sensor install with Walchem -or- Turner Designs Tee Assemblies • One O-ring for sensor use with the Walchem Tee (P/N 21501) •...
One O-ring for use with Turner Tee Assembly The ST-500W can be installed in a vertical or horizontal flow path with the existing Walchem or Turner Tee in place. When installed in a horizontal flow path, a downstream valve is always suggested to allow users to mitigate any potential for air bubble interference.

4. On uPyxis® Desktop App, click Device → Connect via USB-Bluetooth (Figure 15). 5. If the connection is successful, the ST-500W and its Serial Number (S/N) 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.
2) Connect a USB Type-C cable to the port at the bottom of the MA-CR and to the USB port of the laptop or computer. This will provide power the MA-WB from the laptop/computer. Connect the MA-CR to the ST-500W sensor. The MA-CR Bluetooth adapter will boost the 5V of the regular USB to 24V to power the sensor for use with uPyxis Desktop App.
