SETTING THE DATE AND TIME GETTING STARTED 1. 2. 3. Unpack the instrument and install (2) C size batteries in the back of the instrument. Tighten the four screws of the battery plate on to the back of the instrument. 4. If necessary, install the sensors into the cable assembly by inserting the sensors into the ports and then hand tightening them. Do not use a tool and do not over tighten. If using a 1010 cable, a sensor must be installed in port 1 for correct operation. If installing a pH/ORP combo sensor into a 1010 cable, ORP will not be measured. If using a 1020 cable, install a pH, ORP, pH/ORP, or an ISE sensor in port 1 and a DO sensor in port 2. If using a Quatro cable, install a pH, ORP, or ISE sensor in ports label 1 and 2. A sensor must be installed in port 1 for port 2 to operate correctly. If you install a pH/ORP combo sensor into port 1 or port 2, ORP will not be measure. Install the Dissolved Oxygen sensor in the port labeled DO. Install the Conductivity/Temperature sensor in the port labeled CT following the instructions included with the sensor. For ease of installation, YSI recommends that you install a sensor into port 1 first; followed by DO installation, then port 2, and lastly C/T. 5. 6. 7. Press the System key .

Highlight Sensor Type or Membrane and press Enter to modify these settings. to Press the left arrow key to return to the previous screen or press Esc return to the Run screen. Note: The DO sensor is shipped with a red protective cap to protect the electrode. A new membrane cap must be installed before the first use. 1. Prepare the O2 probe solution according to the instructions on the bottle. After mixing, allow the solution to sit for 1 hour. This will help prevent air bubbles from later developing under the membrane. 2. Remove, and discard or save the red protective cap. 3. Thoroughly rinse the sensor tip with distilled or deionized water. 4. Fill a new membrane cap with probe solution. Avoid touching the membrane portion of the cap. 5. Thread the membrane cap onto the sensor, moderately tight. A small amount of electrolyte will overflow. 6. Screw the probe sensor guard on moderately tight. Once changes to the Sensor menu have been completed, you must determine which units will be reported (i.e. %, mg/L, oC, oF, etc.). MENU FUNCTIONS BAROMETER CALIBRATION The Professional Plus has a menu-based interface. Press the “hot keys” to access the System, Sensor, Calibration, and File menus (from left to right at the top of the keypad). To navigate through the menus, use the up and down arrow keys to highlight a desired 1. 2. 3. 1. Select the Sensor hot key on the keypad, highlight Display, and press enter. Highlight the parameter you want to access and press the Enter. A submenu will open allowing you to select the reporting units. Some parameters can be reported in multiple units. For example, DO can be reported in DO%, DO mg/L, and DO ppm. Other parameters, for example temperature, can only be reported in one unit. Make selections from the submenu, and then press the left arrow key to return to the Display menu or to return to the Run screen. press Esc Determine your local barometric pressure (BP) in mmHg from a mercury barometer, an independent laboratory, or from a local weather service. If the BP reading has been corrected to sea level, use the following equation to determine the true BP in mmHg for your altitude: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. True BP = (Corrected BP in mmHG) – {2.5 * (Local Altitude in feet/100)} key. Press the Cal Highlight Barometer and press Enter. Use the arrow keys to highlight the desired units and press Enter to confirm. Highlight Calibration Value and press enter to adjust. Use the Alpha/Numeric screen to enter your True BP, then highlight <<<ENTER>>> and press enter. Highlight Accept Calibration and press enter to finish the calibration. 3. 4. 5. TAKING MEASUREMENTS AND STORING DATA 1. 2. 3. CONDUCTIVITY, PH, AND ORP CALIBRATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Press the Cal key. Highlight the parameter you wish to calibrate and press enter. For Conductivity, a second menu will offer the option of calibrating Specific Conductance, Conductivity, or Salinity. Calibrating one automatically calibrates the other two. An additional sub-menu will require you to select the calibration units. For pH, auto-buffer recognition will determine which buffer the sensor is in and it will allow you to calibrate up to 6 points. Place the correct amount of calibration standard into a clean, dry or pre-rinsed container. Immerse the probe into the solution, making sure the sensor and thermistor are adequately immersed. Allow at least one minute for temperature to stabilize. For any of parameters, enter the calibration solution value by highlighting Calibration Value, pressing enter, and then using the alpha/numeric keypad to enter the known value. Once you have entered the value of the calibration standard, highlight <<<ENTER>>> and press enter. Wait for the readings to stabilize, highlight Accept Calibration and press enter to calibrate. For pH, continue with the next point by placing the probe in a second buffer to complete the and following the on-screen instructions or press Cal calibration. 4. 5. 6. 7. 1. 2. Moisten the sponge in the cal/transport sleeve with a small amount of water and install it on the probe. The cal/transport sleeve ensures venting to the atmosphere. For dual port and Quatro cables, place a small amount of water (1/8 inch) in the calibration/transport cup and screw it on the probe. Disengage a thread or two to ensure atmospheric venting. Make sure the DO and temperature sensors are not immersed in the water. Turn the instrument on. If using a polarographic sensor, wait 10 minutes for the DO sensor to stabilize. Galvanic sensors do not require a warm up time. The instrument will be in Run mode when powered on. To take readings, insert the probe into the sample. Move the probe in the sample until the readings stabilize. This releases any air bubbles and provides movement if measuring DO. Log One Sample is already highlighted in Run mode. Press enter to open a submenu. Highlight Sites or Folders and press enter to select the site or folder to log the sample to. If necessary, use the keypad to create a new Site or Folder name. If Site List and Folder List are disabled in the System menu, you will not see these options when logging a sample. Once the Site and/or Folder name is selected, highlight Log Now and press enter. The instrument will confirm that the data point was logged successfully. If you would like to log at a specific interval vs. logging one sample at a time, key. Use the arrow keys to highlight Logging and press press the System enter. Enable Continuous Mode and adjust the time Interval if necessary. On the Run screen, the option to log will change from Log One Sample to Start Logging based on the time interval entered. During a continuous log, the Start Logging dialog box on the Run screen will change to Stop Logging. UPLOADING DATA TO A PC WITH DATA MANAGER 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. DO CALIBRATION The Pro Plus offers four options for calibrating dissolved oxygen. The first is an air calibration method in % saturation. The second and third calibrates in mg/L or ppm to a solution with a known DO concentration (usually determined by a Winkler Titration). Calibration of any option (% or mg/L and ppm) will automatically calibrate the other. The fourth option is a zero calibration. If performing a zero calibration, you must perform a % or mg/L calibration following the zero calibration. For both ease of use and accuracy, YSI recommends performing the following 1-point DO % calibration: key, highlight DO and press enter. Press the Cal Highlight DO%, then press Enter. Verify the barometric pressure and salinity displayed are accurate. Once DO and temperature are stable, highlight Accept Calibration and press enter. 6. 7.
