INSTALLING THE TURBIDITY, CHLOROPHYLL, RHODAMINE WT , BGA-PHYCOCYANIN, BGA-
PHYCOERYTHRIN, AND ROX OPTICAL DISSOLVED OXYGEN PROBES
If you are using any of optical probes listed, it is recommended that the optical sensors be installed first. If
you are not installing one of these probes, do not remove the port plug, and go on to the next probe
installation.

All optical probes, 6136 turbidity, 6025 chlorophyll, 6130
Rhodamine WT, 6131 Phycocyanin Blue-green algae, 6132
Phycoerythrin-Blue-green algae, and 6150 ROX Optical
DO are installed in the same way. Install the probe into the
center port, seating the pins of the two connectors before
you begin to tighten. Tighten the probe nut to the bulkhead
using the short extended end of the tool supplied with the
probe. Do not over-tighten.
CAUTION
: Be careful not to cross-thread the probe nut.
The YSI 6820V2-1 and 6920V2-1 sondes can accept a single turbidity, chlorophyll, Rhodamine WT, BGA-
PC, BGA-PE, or ROX DO probe. The 6600V2-2, 6600EDS V2-2, 6820V2-2, and 6920V2-2 sondes can
accept and utilize two of the six optical sensors at the same time. The two optical ports of these sondes are
labeled “T” and “C” on the sonde bulkhead. Each port can accept any of the six sensors so be sure to
remember which sensor was installed in which port so that you will later be able to set up the sonde
software correctly. The 6600V2-4 sonde can accept and utilize four of the six optical sensors at the same
time. The four optical ports of this sonde are labeled “T” , “C”, “B”, and “O” on the sonde bulkhead. Each
port can accept any of the six sensors so be sure to remember which sensor was installed in which port so
that you will later be able to set up the sonde software correctly.
INSTALLING THE 6562 RAPID PULSE DISSOLVED OXYGEN PROBE, CONDUCTIVITY/TEMP AND
pH/ORP PROBES
Figure 27
Insert the probe into the correct port and gently rotate the
probe until the two connectors align.
The probes have slip nuts that require a small probe
installation tool to tighten the probe. With the connectors
aligned, screw down the probe nut using the long extended
end of the probe installation tool. Do not over-tighten.
CAUTION
: Do not cross thread the probe nut.
