1. General Description
Model 5000 Features
The Model 5000 is a microprocessor based, menu-driven, dissolved oxygen meter designed to
perform laboratory measurement of dissolved oxygen and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD).
The instrument’s menu system makes it simple to use.
The Model 5000 has a new case design which facilitates laboratory measurement. The angled
profile makes these instruments both functional and attractive. A large graphical display provides
on-screen menus, and large data fields for ease of operation and readability. The angle and
position of the keypad make operation of the 5000 comfortable. The tactile and audio response
from each key stroke give you the confidence that every command has been received.
The Model 5000 is compatible with all existing YSI dissolved oxygen probes when used with the
YSI Model 5011 adapter. The new YSI Model 5010 self-stirring BOD Probe allows you to
operate the probe from the instrument’s power supply, eliminating the need for a separate power
cable for the probe.
Internal memory for storing up to 100 sets of data, and an RS232 port allow you to upload data
from the Model 5000 directly to your computer. Or you can use your Model 5000 with YSI BOD
Analyst software.
