Thank you for purchasing the YSI Professional Optical Dissolved Oxygen (Pro
ODO) instrument. The YSI ProODO ™ measures dissolved oxygen in water using
lifetime luminescence technology and uses a digital signal to send information
between the instrument and probe. Key advantages of the new ProODO include
the elimination of sensor flow dependence and sensor warm-up time, greater
stability, the ability to zero the sensor for more accurate measurements at low
dissolved oxygen levels, and the elimination of frequent membrane/electrolyte
changes. The ProODO also features a waterproof (IP-67) case, a rugged MS-8
cable connector, backlit display and keypad, user-selectable cable lengths, USB
connectivity, large memory with extensive site list capabilities, and a rugged,
rubber over-molded case. For product specification information, please visit
www.ysi.com or contact Technical Support at 800-897-4151 (+1 937 767-7241).
Reading the entire manual before use is recommended for an overall
understanding of the instrument’s features.

Battery InstallatIon
The ProODO uses 2 alkaline C-cell batteries. Battery life depends on sampling
mode and usage. When used in Manual Sampling mode, under normal
conditions, battery life is approximately 80 hours at room temperature. The
use of Automatic Sampling mode may slightly reduce the battery life. See the
System section of this manual for more information on Sampling Modes.
