(RS-485) and dual analog (4-20mA) signal outputs, designed to simplify field installation, calibration and use of operations. The ST-712SS pH portion of the sensor is offers a flat-bubble sensor design which is optimally suited for increased fouling resistance. The sensor is designed with a large capacity salt bridge and integrated automatic temperature compensation ensuring a highly accurate, long-life sensor with dra- matically reduced field maintenance.
2 years † Life With Pyxis’s continuous improvement policy, these specifications are subject to change without notice. † Typical life is the sensor at 25 °C temperature under normal use conditions to measure clear water; harsh working conditions or water quality may shorten life.

4.1 Piping The provided ST-001 Tee Assembly can be connected to a pipe system through the 3/4” female ports, either socket or NPT threaded. To properly install the ST-712SS sensor into the ST-001 Tee Assembly, follow the steps below: 1. Insert the provided O-ring into the O-ring groove on the tee.
Internally connected to the power ground 4.3 Connecting via Bluetooth Connect and power the ST-712SS sensor with the Pyxis Bluetooth adapter (P/N: MA-CR) installed as shown in the following connection diagram. The power should be sourced from a 24 VDC power terminal of a controller.
5 Setup and Calibration with uPyxis® Mobile App 5.1 Download uPyxis® Mobile App Download uPyxis® Mobile App from Apple App Store Google Play. Figure 4. uPyxis® Mobile App installation ST-712SS User Manual service@pyxis-lab.com | +1 (866) 203-8397...
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-712SS and its Serial Number (SN) will be displayed (Figure 5). 4. Press on the ST-712SS sensor image.
5.3 Calibration Screen and Reading The ST-712SS pH/ORP sensor is rigorously calibrated before leaving the Pyxis factory. As such, users should not need to calibrate the sensor for a period of three months up to one year if the sensor is maintained in clean operable condition.
5.4 Diagnosis Screen From the Diagnosis screen, you can check the diagnosis condition. This feature may be used for technical support when communicating with service@pyxis-lab.com.

3. On uPyxis® Desktop App, click Device Connect via USB-Bluetooth (Figure 9). 4. If the connection is successful, the ST-712SS 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.

6.4 Calibration Screen The ST-712SS pH/ORP sensor is rigorously calibrated before leaving the Pyxis factory. As such, users should not need to calibrate the sensor for a period of three months up to one year if the sensor is maintained in clean operable condition.
– 20 mA = 1500 mV 7.2 Communication using Modbus RTU The ST-712SS sensor is configured as a Modbus slave device. In addition to the pH value and ORP mV value, many operational parameters, including warning and error messages, are available via a Modbus RTU connection.
Figure 14. Inline Probe Cleaning Solution Kit To clean the ST-712SS sensor, soak the lower half of the sensor in 100 mL inline sensor cleaning solution for 10–15 minutes. Rinse the ST-712SS sensor with distilled water. If the surface is not entirely clean, continue to soak the ST-712SS sensor for an additional 10–15 m inutes.
2. Make sure there is no water on the sensor. 3. Hold the ST-712SS main body with one hand and use the other hand to twist the stainless-steel locking ring connecting the black electrode counterclockwise, until the front end of the black electrode is completely unscrewed, as shown in Figure 15-2.
Figure 15. Replacing EH-711 — ORP Electrode Head 9 Troubleshooting If the ST-712SS sensor output signal is not stable and fluctuates significantly, make an additional ground connection — connect the black (shield, solution ground) wire to a conductor that contacts the sample wa- ter electrically such as a metal pipe adjacent to the ST-712SS tee.
