IK-73X PLUS Series Auto-Brushing Turbidity Analyzer
Brand: Pyxis
Website: www.pyxis-lab.com
Product Description
The IK-73X-PLUS series are single parameter inline turbidity analyzers specifically designed as a 'Turn-Key' monitoring solution for both industrial and potable water applications, including drinking, cooling, process, influent, and wastewater effluent. The IK-73X-PLUS series offers auto-brushing, highly accurate, real-time measurement, display, and data-logging of turbidity utilizing proprietary Pyxis Lab smart sensor technology. It is coupled with the FS-100 ultrasonic flow sensor, a motorized flow regulating valve, and the Pyxis touch screen display-data logging terminal. The IK-73X-PLUS series is offered in a convenient and easy-to-integrate panel-mounted format for rapid installation and simple maintenance.
The IK-73X-PLUS series analyzer integrates the LT-739 and LT-736 ultra-low turbidity sensor platforms installed in the FT-100-PLUS auto-brushing flow tee. The LT-73X series sensor features a unique flat surface distal end in a quartz glass plate, allowing for rapid in-line auto-cleaning and prevention of air bubble interference. With a detection range of 0.000 to 40 NTU (LT-739) and 0.000 – 1,000 NTU (LT-736), and an industry-low resolution of 0.002 NTU, the LT-73X series turbidity sensors are designed for optimal accuracy and repeatability with minimal sensor drift. The LT-73X series sensors use a 90° surface scatter configuration in Warm White Light (LED) and are EPA-180.1 wavelength compliant. Infrared (ISO-7027 compliant) versions are also available upon request.
The IK-73X-PLUS series analyzers require a small installation footprint and offer simple operation and maintenance. They are specifically designed for use in commercial, industrial, and domestic/drinking water applications. The analyzer is also available with an optional Pyxis CloudLink™ 4G remote gateway, which can upload on-site analyzer data to a cloud server in real-time and allow for additional sensor/device inputs for cloud access.
Typical Applications

- Raw Surface Water
- Wastewater Effluent
- Domestic & Drinking Water
- Secondary Water Supply
- Sanitary Water
Features
- Pyxis Lab advanced research and development sensor technologies to achieve highly accurate and stable measurement of Turbidity with ultra-low resolution.
- Pyxis LT-739 and LT-736 ultra-low resolution turbidity sensors offer a detection light source using warm white LED in a 90-degree surface scatter format, in accordance with USEPA 180.1 wavelength standards. The turbidity sensor is mounted in the unique Pyxis FT-100-PLUS auto-brushing flow reservoir with motorized mechanical cleaning of the sensor optical lens, enabling the highest resolution possible of 0.002NTU with unmatched stability. The LT-739 and LT-736 both offer simple calibration via the Pyxis L-CAL Portable Turbidity Calibration Kit.
- The LT-73X series turbidity sensors feature a flat optical lens design, making them easy to maintain and clean while effectively mitigating the impacts of air bubble entrainment on turbidity readings.
- Simple sensor removal and replacement. The LT-73X sensor is connected to the display/data logger via RS-485 Modbus (RTU), allowing for integrated sensor calibration interface and diagnostics within the display screen.
- Convenient, simple-to-install back-panel for rapid and easy installation. A 'plumb and power to go' platform with intense factory setup, testing, and sensor calibration prior to shipment.
- For NSF Certified Applications, the IK-73X-PLUS discharge flow of approximately 100-2,000mL/minute may be sent to a sanitary drain or returned to the inlet of the pretreatment system.
Key Components
FS-100 Ultrasonic Flow Meter
The Pyxis FS-100 is a state-of-the-art ultrasonic flowmeter that operates on the principle of transit time difference. It features a measurement range of 0 - 3,000 mL/min and a resolution of 1mL. The sensor's advanced PCB design includes built-in temperature compensation to eliminate the effect of temperature on instantaneous and accumulated sample water flow, supporting live display, motor valve flow regulation, data logging, and alarm on no-flow conditions.

UC-100 Display Data Logging Terminal
A 7-inch touch screen display/data logger interface with integrated sensor calibration. The display/data logger offers 2x 4-20mA I/O and RS-485 for signal passthrough to any PLC or DCS network. A Pyxis CloudLink™ 4G Gateway version is available.

FT-100-PLUS Flow Reservoir
The FT-100-PLUS is a motorized auto-brushing flow tee assembly that provides user-programmable mechanical cleaning cycles for the LT-73X series inline ultra-low turbidity sensor. This unique flow tee design ensures trouble-free operation of the Pyxis inline sensor in a wide variety of water quality applications by automatically brushing the sensor's optical lens to maintain optimum turbidity measurement, repeatability, and accuracy. Programming is simple via the UC-100A touch screen display interface, allowing users to set desired cycle frequency and duration. The minimum inlet pressure for the FT-100-PLUS flow tee is 7.5 psi (0.05 MPa), making it suitable for end-of-pipe networks.
