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 warranty set forth is exclusive and no other warranty, whether written or oral, is expressed or implied.
This device is Bluetooth® 5.0 enabled for data log transfer, firmware updates and screen customization via the uPyxis® mobile and desktop app. *NOTE* The SP-208 allows users to expand its functions by purchasing a Pyxis pH & ORP Module (P/N 50315), see section 5.0 for more details.

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 items listed on the packing slip are included. If any items are missing or damaged, please contact Pyxis Customer Service at service@pyxis-lab.com.
4 Installation 4.1 Battery Installation The SP-208 is powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries. The 4 AA alkaline batteries will last sufficient for approximately 10,000 measurements. When the battery capacity is critically low, the SP-208 will display a LOW BATTERY warning for 5 seconds and then automatically turn off.
Order a replacement pH/ORP module (P/N: 50315) from Pyxis at order@pyxis-lab.com. If the module is turned on for 20 minutes a day, the module battery can last for about a year. The module indicator light will flash red if the module battery is low. Each replacement pH/ORP module will be shipped with a COC (Certificate of Calibration).
4.4 pH/ORP Module Battery Installation The new pH/ORP module has a lithium thionyl chloride battery (3.7V-ER14250) installed. When the battery capacity is critically low and the main module displays a LOW BATTERY warning, replace the ER14250 battery. Use the following procedure to install a new battery: Unsnap the pH/ORP module from the top of the main module.
It may be discarded if desired, but pH/ORP Storage Solution must be maintained in the unit cell at all times during non-use. Please fill the pH/ORP cell with 1 mL of Pyxis pH/ORP Storage Solution (P/N: 63900) at all times when not using the pH/ORP cell.
6 Measurement 6.1 Switch Measurement Mode The SP-208 only has one measurement mode when it leaves Pyxis factory (i.e., DPD free and total Chlorine mode). However, the measurement mode of SP-208 can be expanded with the purchase of a pH&ORP module. *Note* The pH&ORP mode is disabled by default, refer to section 8.0...
6.2 DPD Free and Total Chlorine Measurement 6.2.1 Supported Methods The SP-208 OXIGO™ is a unique pocket colorimeter specifically designed for measurement of free and total chlorine at low and high ranges (0.02–2.2ppm LR; 0.1–10.0ppm HR) in both Industrial & Municipal water treatment applications. Method Name Description Range...
6.3 pH/ORP Measurement 6.3.1 Measurement Procedure *Precondition* when first using pH&ORP module, please enable and pair the pH/ORP module, refer to 8.0 section section. Once completed, follow the steps below for pH&ORP measurements Press pH/ORP ( ) to switch to the pH/ORP measurement mode. This will automatically power on the pH/ORP module.
6.3.2 Erroneous Values An erroneous pH value could be obtained if the module has been stored dry without the protection of pH/ORP Storage Solution for a long period of time. In this case, please fill the module cell with pH/ORP Storage Solution to wet the electrode and allow it to soak for 30 minutes before use.
6.3.4 ORP Measurement Principle The SP-208 pH/ORP module measures the sample ORP with the platinum electrode and the Ag/AgCl reference electrode in the pH/ORP cell. The pH measurement and the ORP measurement share the same reference electrode. Reporting an ORP value without specifying the reference scale has no meaning.
7 Calibration Free & Total Chlorine Calibration The method has been calibrated prior to shipping, there is no need to calibrate unless a calibration check indicates that the method needs a calibration. The following steps are used to calibrate a method: Each method has been calibrated prior to shipping, there is no need to calibrate unless a calibration check indicates that the method needs a calibration.
pH Calibration The SP-208 is designed to provide a flexible calibration procedure. The user can start with the one-point pH7 calibration and progressively add a two- and three-point calibration with the pH4 and pH10 buffers. This allows the user to choose a procedure based on the need of measurement accuracy and the target pH range.
7.2.1 One-Point Calibration Rinse the pH/ORP sample cell three times with the pH7 buffer. Fill the sample cell with the pH7 buffer. Allow 5–10 seconds for the pH measurement to stabilize and the padlock ( ) to appear. Press pH7 ( ) to start a one-point calibration.
7.2.3 Three-Point Calibration Use the remaining buffer (either the pH4 or pH10) for a three-point calibration. Rinse the pH/ORP sample cell three times with the remaining buffer. Fill the sample cell with the remaining buffer. Allow 5–10 seconds for the pH measurement to stabilize and the padlock ( ) to appear.
ORP Calibration The ORP scale of the SP-208 depends on the ORP scale of the calibration standard. For example, if the value of 220 mV for the common Zobell’s standard at 25 °C is entered in the above calibration, the ORP value reported by the SP-208 after calibration is referenced to the Ag/AgCl(3M KCl) scale.
