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).
The ST-587 Series sensors can be connected to any device that accepts an isolated or non-isolated 4–20mA input or RS-485 Modbus input. The ST-587 Series sensor is a smart device. In addition to measuring PTSA, the ST-587 sensor has extra photo-electric components that measure the color and turbidity of the sample water.

2. Insert the ST-587 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-587 and the ST-001 Tee Assembly (mm) service@pyxis-lab.com | +1 (866) 203-8397 ST-587 Series User Manual...
The sensor can be held by a 1.75-inch pipe clamp or mounted to a panel with four ¼-inch / 28 bolts. See Figure 3 for ST-587SS dimensions. Figure 3 – Dimension of the ST-587SS (inch) service@pyxis-lab.com | +1 (866) 203-8397 ST-587 Series User Manual...
3. Wiring & Quick 4-20mA Startup The ST-587 Series provides passive 4-20mA outputs. They should not be connected to a loop powered input. If the power ground terminal and the negative 4–20mA terminal in the controller are internally connected (non- isolated 4–20mA input), it is unnecessary to connect the 4–20mA negative wire (gray) to the 4–20mA negative...

Tap the discovered ST-587 sensor to connect to the sensor. The uPyxis app will identify the sensor type if multiple Pyxis sensors are discovered in the scan. As shown in Figure 6, uPyxis will default to the Trend Chart page after connected to the sensor via the MA- CR Bluetooth adapter.
After completing the zero calibration, place the sensor into Pyxis PTSA-100 calibration standard solution and tap Slope CALIBRATION in the uPyxis app. Enter the PTSA concentration 100 in the dialog window as in Figure 9.
Two-point Turbidity calibration for the ST-587 requires deionized (DI) water and a Formazine standard solution. Turbidity calibration uses 100 NTU Formazine standard solution (see the Optional Accessories Section 1.4). *NOTE*: The ST-587 Series sensor should be calibrated in a completely light-proof environment by covering the beaker with a towel.
4.1.3 Adjusting the 4-20mA Span From the Pyxis factory, the 4–20mA output of the ST-587 and ST-587SS sensor is scaled as follows: ST-587 Sensor 4-20mA Scaling Unit of Measure 4mA Value 20mA Value PTSA 0 ppb 500 ppb Turbidity 0 NTU...
