ST-774 Description The Pyxis ST-774 is an ultra-low range dissolved oxygen (DO) sensor with a lower limit of detection 0.1 ppb (μg/L). It is design is based on the principle of fluorescence quenching to determine the partial pressure of the dissolved oxygen in water and incorporates Pyxis' advanced technology in the field of fluorescence detection.

3. UC-50 TERMINAL BOARD WIRING DIAGRAM Please refer to the wiring terminal diagram below for the UC-50 display/data logger. *NOTE* – the UC- 50 terminal board provides two prewired pigtail cables with adapters. The 7-Pin output pigtail offers a male adapter. This pigtail cable is designed to be connected to the loose flying lead cable with female adapte and open wires that is provided with the panel.

Ultrapure nitrogen gas (Pyxis DCC-3 P/N 42059) may be used for the zero calibration. The slope calibration requires 0.02% to 0.1% (or 200 to 1000 ppm) oxygen in nitrogen gas (Pyxis DCC-4 P/N 42060). Portable standard calibration gas cylinders can be purchased from Pyxis if desired in the United States only, or are commonly available on the open market.

5. UC-50 Operation 5.1.Main Screen The UC-50 is configured to read and display measurement data from the Pyxis ST-774 dissolved oxygen probe. The system time, ST-774 DO ppb reading and the sample temperature measured by the ST-774 are displayed on the main screen. The green dot on the upper right of the screen indicates that the controller is operating normally.

2. MANUAL RELAY MODE When setting [Manual] mode, you need to press to move the cursor to the button, then press OK to turn on the relay manually. You will note the “Turn OFF” button activated at bottom of page when in Manual Mode with a GREEN color-coded button to left indicating the relay is currently ON.
Page 15
4. ALARM (LL) or ALARM (HL) MODES The Turn ON and Turn OFF threshold values are constantly compared with the primary measurement of the sensor. In the case of ST-774-UC-50-Porta-Panel, the primary measurement is disolved oxygen(DO). Security time is used to set the activation time of the relay in a range of 0 ~ 99999 seconds. If user does not want to limit the activation time of the relay, the security time should be set to “...

7) Place sensor in upright position with calibration cap at the bottom. 8) Select Probe Calibration from the Settings menu. Then select Zero cal as shown in Figure 14. Figure 14. Zero Calibration 9) Select button and press OK to start the zero calibration on the UC-50. Zero Cal *IMPORTANT NOTE* - Allow the sensor with calibration cap / sulfite solution stand for up to 12 hours for best results.
