6504 – BREAKOUT BOX
The 6504 Breakout Box is required when deploying
more than one sonde from the 6500 Monitor (see
Figures 8 & 9). The Breakout Box has two MS-8
connectors for connection to the sonde cables and one
conduit fitting for connection with the YSI #6508
Junction Box. For direct connection to the 6500
Monitor, a #6507 Patch Cable and Gland Fitting (YSI
064007) are required.

The Breakout Box may be mounted on a wall or to a
vertical pipe or handrail that is 1 to 1½ inches in

location of the 6504 Breakout Box should be elevated
and in a dry place above potential flood level. The
Breakout Box should be easily accessible for an
operator or technician to have convenient access to
the unit.
