*NOTE*: The 24V power ground (black) and the 4-20 mA- return (green) are internally connected. If an insufficient wattage is available from the connected controller (i.e. 2W), Pyxis recommends the PowerPACK Series Auxiliary Power & Bluetooth Communication Adapters highlighted in the Optional Accessories section of this manual.
The concentration of PTSA in the sample water can be determined by using a Pyxis SP-380 (P/N: 50208), or similar offline fluorometer or calculated from the concentration of any measurable species in the sample water such as polymer, phosphate, or molybdate.
This may take up to one minute. Tap the discovered ST-500SS-T 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-WB Bluetooth adapter.
Users can tap Slope CALIBRATION and enter the handheld measured PTSA value, then hit confirm. *NOTE* If the sensor is dirty, it must be removed for proper optical channel cleaning with the Pyxis Probe Cleaning Solution (P/N SER-01) prior to conducting sensor calibration. Confirmation of sensor cleanliness with the uPyxis 2.0 APP Cleanliness Check Function is required before proceeding to sensor calibration.
5.3 Adjusting the 4-20mA Span via uPyxis 2.0 Mobile App From the Pyxis factory, the 4–20mA output of the ST-500SS-T sensor is scaled as follows: Sensor Name 4mA Value 20mA Value ST-500SS-T 0 ppb 500 ppb Users may alter the output scale using 4-20mA Span to change the PTSA value corresponding to the 20mA output (Figure 9).

Figure 18. 7.3 Communication using Modbus RTU The ST-500SS-T Series sensor is configured as a Modbus slave device. In addition to the ppb PTSA value, many operational parameters, including warning and error messages, are available via a Modbus RTU connection. Contact Pyxis Lab Customer Service (service@pyxis-lab.com) for more information.
The need to clean the ST-500SS-T sensor can be determined by the Cleanliness Check using either the uPyxis®2.0 Mobile App (see the Mobile Diagnosis Screen section) or the uPyxis® Desktop App (see the Desktop Diagnosis Screen section).
