Installing Probe Guard
The probe guard protects probes during
deployment and some calibration procedures.
Once the probes are installed, screw on the
guard by aligning it with the threads on the
bulkhead and turn the guard clockwise until
secure. Be careful not to bump the 6562 probe
membrane when installing the probe guard.
Installing Calibration Cup
Installing the calibration cup is performed
in the same manner as installing the probe
guard. The calibration/storage cup is used
for calibration procedures as well as sonde
storage when not in use.
It is important to calibrate all
sensors prior to using the sonde for field
measurements. Refer to Section 2.6.2 of the 6-
Series User Manual.
Power
• External power is required for the YSI
600R, 600QS, 600XL, 600XL V2, 6820 V2,
and non-battery versions of 600OMS V2 and
600LS sondes.
• Internal batteries power the YSI 6920 V2,
6920DW, 6600 V2, 6600EDS V2, 600XLM,
600XLM V2, 600DW, and battery versions
of 600OMS V2 and 600LS sondes. These can
also run on external power.
• If you have a YSI 650 MDS display or other
datalogger, attaching your sonde to it will
power the sonde when “power sonde” is
enabled.
• For lab calibration, a YSI 6067 or 6095
calibration cable and YSI 6038 (110 VAC) or
6037 (220 VAC) power supply is required for
sondes without internal batteries. (6095 cable
must be used with a field cable.)
• Connect the 6038 or 6037 power supply to
the 6067 or 6095 cable. After attaching the
four-pin connector from the power supply
to the pigtail, plug the power supply into the
appropriate AC outlet.
• When using the sonde’s internal batteries,
install batteries prior to test and calibration.
• When using the 650 as the interface for
sondes with internal power, disable the
“sonde power” feature. Conversely, when
using the 650 for sondes without batteries,
enable the “sonde power” feature.
• Expected power supply outputs are:
6VDC = 4AA
12VDC = 8AA
12VDC = 8C
If you see significantly differing values from
these outputs, the batteries may not have a
full charge or may be installed incorrectly.
(You can find outputs in “Status” in the sonde
menu; see next page.)
Refer to Section 2.2 of the 6-Series User
Manual for complete details.
Communication
Communication to the sonde is started with
EcoWatch
®
for Windows
®
, the 650 display/
logger, or any terminal emulator.
1. Place the EcoWatch compact disk in
your computer’s CD drive. An Installshield
Wizard will automatically start on most
computers. Follow the prompts to complete
the installation.
2. Select the EcoWatch icon on your
desktop or from the Windows Program
Menu and open the application.
3. Select the sonde icon in the toolbar,
and then select the proper Comm port to
which your sonde is connected. Refer to the
diagram above for Communication Settings.
Click “OK” to open a terminal window.
4. The terminal window is white. Type
“Menu” after the # sign, press Enter, and the
sonde Main menu will be displayed.
5. This software is menu-driven. Select
functions by typing their corresponding
numbers. You do not need to press Enter
after choosing a selection. Type the 0 or Esc
key to return to the previous menu.

6. After establishing connection with
EcoWatch, you can configure sonde settings
including date/time, sensors, logging, setup,
and access stored files.
Refer to Section 4 of the 6-Series User Manual
or the Help section of the software.
Menu
Run = set up sonde for discrete or unattended
logging applications
Calibrate = access sensors for calibration
File = view logged files including the
calibration record (.glp file)

time, battery voltage and estimated life,
amount of free memory, and logging status
System = access sonde communication
settings and instrument identification
Report = choose parameters to log and units
of measurement
Sensor = enable sensors and assign probes to
ports
Advanced = view calibration constants,
choose Auto Sleep configuration, adjust TDS
constant and other sonde settings. Refer to
Sections 2.5 and 2.9.8 of the 6-Series User
Manual before making any changes to the
settings in the Advanced Menu.
