3.2 6-SERIES SONDE SETUP
The 6-Series Sonde contains a powerful computer that allows the sonde to be configured for use
with the 6500 Monitor. It is important to remember that the sonde setup information and
calibration data are stored in the 6-Series Sonde and not in the 6500 Environmental Process
Monitor. With this in mind, the following sections are designed to assure proper setup of the 6-
Series Sonde software prior to deployment. This can be accomplished by two different methods:
1. Interface of the 6-Series Sonde with the 6500 Monitor via the matching MS-8
connectors on the sonde cable and the 6500 enclosure. To carry out this procedure,
the 6500 Environmental Process Monitor must be installed in its permanent location
with AC line power properly installed as described by local electrical codes.
2. Interface of the 6-Series Sonde with a laboratory computer or 610 display/logger. If
a computer is selected for setup, you must employ a YSI #6095B DB-9 to MS-8
adapter and a YSI #6038 external power supply with MS-4 connector that plugs into
any 110 VAC outlet. If your sonde does not have an integral cable, it will require a
#6067B calibration cable. All of these accessories are optional and must be ordered
separately. After using this method to calibrate the sonde, proceed to section 3.3,
6500 Monitor Setup, in this manual.
Method 2 (above) is recommended. However, either method will result in identical setup of the
6-Series software. Instructions for the sonde calibration in a laboratory set-up are found in the 6-
Series sonde manual. Choose only one of the two methods for calibration.
When installation of the 6500 Monitor is complete and power is supplied, connect the 6-Series
Sonde to the 6500 Monitor via the matching MS-8 connectors. When power is applied to the
