Pyxis EM-500SS Inline Stainless Steel Chlorophyll-A Sensor
Stainless steel inline chlorophyll-a sensor (0-50ppb). 4-20mA + RS-485 + Bluetooth.
Pyxis EM-500SS Inline Stainless Steel Chlorophyll-A Sensor
The Pyxis EM-500SS is a stainless steel inline sensor that uses fluorescence detection to monitor algae concentration as chlorophyll-a in real time, without reagents. It measures across a 0-50ppb range and communicates via 4-20mA analog, RS-485 Modbus, and Bluetooth for flexible monitoring and data access.
Description
The Pyxis EM-500SS is an inline sensor that monitors algae concentration in real time by measuring chlorophyll-a through fluorescence detection, without the need for reagents. Its stainless steel body is built for durability under continuous inline exposure, and it covers a 0-50ppb chlorophyll-a range.
The sensor communicates via 4-20mA analog, RS-485 Modbus, and Bluetooth, giving operators multiple ways to pull data — from hardwired control integration to local wireless access for spot checks and configuration.
It suits water bodies and process streams where ongoing algae tracking is needed, offering continuous readings without the labor and consumables of manual reagent-based testing.
Why Use This
Reagent-Free Operation
Fluorescence detection monitors chlorophyll-a in real time without consumable reagents, reducing maintenance.
Durable Build
Stainless steel body is designed for continuous inline deployment.
Flexible Connectivity
4-20mA, RS-485 Modbus, and Bluetooth outputs support both wired control systems and wireless access.
Applications
- Algae monitoring — real-time, reagent-free chlorophyll-a tracking in process or source water
- Water quality management — continuous algae concentration data to support treatment decisions
- Remote/wireless monitoring — Bluetooth output supports local data access without hardwiring
