YSI 3100 - Manual (Page 8)

Cell Connection
The connector for the cell is a 7-pin mini DIN connector and is marked with an arrow to show
proper alignment. Be sure to align the arrows when plugging in the cell.
YSI 3200 series cells utilize a mini DIN connector that plugs directly into the 3100. If, however,
you have a YSI 3400 series cell, the YSI 3232 cell adapter will be required. The YSI 3232
adapter mounts on the post on the rear of the 3100. It has a 7-pin mini-DIN connector and two
binding posts. The mini-DIN connector plugs into the 3100 cell socket and a YSI 3400 series cell
(or equivalent) connects to the binding posts.
YSI 3200 series cells contain an internal temperature sensor for temperature measurement,
temperature compensation and salinity. YSI 3400 series cells do not contain an internal
temperature sensor, therefore, when using a 3400 series cell, temperature measurement,
temperature compensation or salinity measurement is not possible.
