4220 Flow Meter

Section 2 Programming

2-27

These devices require periodic calibration for accurate sensing.
See Section 5 for more information about the dissolved oxygen
probe.

If you are not using the D. O. probe, you would select NOT MEA-
SURED for this step.

Selection of PPM or MG/L will keep references to pH from
showing up on subsequent menus.

This step sets up measurement of the temperature of the flow
stream. You must have an Isco Temperature Probe (or approved
equivalent) attached to the flow meter's Parameter Port. The
temperature probe contains a thermistor and needs no further
calibration. Measurement is in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahr-
enheit. If you are not using the temperature probe, you would
select NOT MEASURED for this step.

Note that if you are using either the pH or D. O. probe, temper-
ature must be measured; the NOT MEASURED option will not
even appear.

YSI Sonde – The following series of menus concerns the use of
the YSI 600 Multi-Parameter Sonde. This probe allows you to
measure several different characteristics of a flow stream at the
same time. The YSI 600 Sonde attaches to the Rain Gauge con-
nector on the 4220. This connector must be a special, modified
connector with nine pins.

Note

4220 Flow Meters with 4-pin Rain Gauge connectors cannot
support the YSI 600. It is necessary to return the flow meter to
the factory for modifications if you wish to use a YSI 600
Sonde. In addition to the connector, there are significant inter-
nal modifications to the flow meter’s electronics and software.

You can use both the YSI Sonde and a Rain Gauge on flow meters
that support the YSI with a special Y-connect cable. Note that
the YSI 600 Sonde differs from the previously-mentioned pH and
D.O. probes. The YSI 600 can measure pH and D.O. at the same
time, as well as temperature and conductivity. If you are not
using the YSI 600 sonde, select NO in the following display and
the flow meter will advance to the next step. Otherwise, select
YES.

• If you select NO, you will be unable to activate the YSI

Sonde later in the program.

If no communication has been confirmed, the following display
will appear:
