Pyxis ST-525 Inline Fluorescein Sensor
Inline fluorescein tracer sensor (0-60ppb). 4-20mA + RS-485, 7-pin.
Pyxis ST-525 Inline Fluorescein Sensor
The Pyxis ST-525 is an inline sensor that measures dye-tagged (fluorescein) treatment chemical dosing, supporting treatment chemical feed. It reports concentration across a 0-60ppb range and communicates via 4-20mA analog output and RS-485 Modbus through a 7-pin connector.
Description
The Pyxis ST-525 is an inline fluorescein tracer sensor designed to track dye-tagged treatment chemical dosing directly within a process water line. By continuously reading dye concentration, it gives water treatment operators a real-time way to confirm that fluorescein-tagged chemical feed is reaching the target dose, rather than relying on periodic manual sampling.
The sensor measures across a 0-60ppb range and communicates results through both a 4-20mA analog output and RS-485 Modbus, wired through a single 7-pin connector. This dual-output design lets it feed readings into a PLC, chart recorder, or SCADA/BMS system for automated feed control and trend logging.
It suits treatment providers and plant operators who need continuous, unattended verification of dye-tagged chemical dosing in boiler, cooling, or process water systems.
Why Use This
Continuous tracer monitoring
Measures dye-tagged (fluorescein) treatment chemical dosing in real time across a 0-60ppb range, giving operators direct visibility into treatment chemical performance.
Easy control system integration
Dual 4-20mA analog and RS-485 Modbus outputs through a 7-pin connector let the sensor feed data straight into existing SCADA or controller setups.
Applications
- Treatment chemical feed verification — confirms dye-tagged chemical is dosing at the intended rate
- Boiler and process water treatment — continuous inline monitoring of treatment chemistries
- Control system integration — feeds real-time tracer data into PLC/SCADA via 4-20mA or RS-485 Modbus
- Low-concentration dosing programs — suited to trace-level fluorescein tracking at 0-60ppb
FAQ
What does the ST-525 measure?
It measures the concentration of dye-tagged (fluorescein) treatment chemical in a process water stream, reporting results on a 0-60ppb scale.
How is the sensor installed?
The ST-525 is an inline sensor that mounts directly into the process water line for continuous, in-line monitoring.
How does it connect to my control system?
It provides a 4-20mA analog signal and an RS-485 Modbus digital output through a 7-pin connector, so it can feed data into most standard control and monitoring equipment.
Is this sensor suited to low-concentration tracking?
Yes, its 0-60ppb range is calibrated for tracking treatment chemical levels at low, trace concentrations typical of dye-tagged feed programs.
