Sensor Maintenance and Precaution
The ST-772/T sensor is designed to provide reliable and continuous dissolved oxygen readings even when
installed in moderately contaminated industrial waters. Although the optics are compensated for the ef-
fects of moderate fouling, heavy fouling will prevent the light from reaching the sensor, resulting in low
readings and the potential for product overfeed if the ST-772/T sensor is used as part of an automated con-
trol system. When used to control product dosing, it is suggested that the automation system be configured
to provide backup to limit potential product overfeed, for example by limiting pump size or duration, or by
alarming if the pumping rate exceeds a desired maximum limit.
The ST-772/T sensor is designed to be easily removed, inspected, and cleaned if required. It is suggested
that the ST-772/T sensor be checked for fouling and cleaned/calibrated on a monthly basis. Heavily con-
taminated waters may require more frequent cleanings. Cleaner water sources with less contamination
may not require cleaning for several months. The need to clean the ST-772/T sensor can be determined by

Methods to Cleaning the ST-772/T
Any equipment in contact with industrial cooling systems is subject to many potential foulants and con-
taminants. Our inline sensor cleaning solutions below have been shown to remove most common foulants
and contaminants. The surface of the DCC-1 Dissolved Oxygen Membrane Cap can be cleaned with a cot-
ton swab. Please do not use sharp instruments to clean the membrane cap. In addition, the Pyxis Inline
Probe Cleaning Solution Kit may also be used to removal of heavy deposits, especially inorganics, and can
be purchased at our online E-Store
