Introduction

The Pyxis ST-730 Series sensor a pre-scaled inline sensor that measures turbidity in water using a white LED
as the excitation light source and by measuring the scattered light at a 90-degree angle with respect to the
excitation beam. The fluidic and optical arrangement of the ST-730 Series sensor is designed to overcome
many shortcomings associated with other inline turbidimeters. It can be easily inserted into the custom-
made tee with a compression fitting port designed to ensure correct vertical positioning of the ST-730 Series
sensor in the fluid stream. The ST-730 Series sensor custom mounting tee has two ¾ inch female NPT ports
for plumbing into an existing ¾ inch sample water line. The ST-730 Series sensor can be connected to any
device that accepts an isolated or non-isolated 4–20mA input or RS-485 Modbus input. The ST-730 Series
sensor has a short fluidic channel that can be easily cleaned and calibrated using the MA-WB Bluetooth
adapter and

uPyxis®

Mobile or Desktop App.
