INSTALLING BATTERIES INTO THE YSI 600XLM OR 600 OMS V2-1 SONDES
Figure 33
To install 4 AA-size alkaline batteries into the sonde, refer to
the following directions and Figure 33.
Grasp the cylindrical battery cover and unscrew by hand.
Then slide the battery lid up and over the bulkhead
connector. Insert batteries, paying special attention to
polarity. Labeling on the battery compartment posts
describes the orientation. It is usually easiest to insert the
negative end of battery first and then “pop” the positive
terminal into place.
Figure 34
Check the O-ring and sealing surfaces for any contaminants
that could interfere with the O-ring
seal of the battery chamber.
CAUTION: Make sure that there are NO contaminants
between the O-ring and the sonde. Contaminants that
are present under the O-ring may cause the O-ring to
leak when the sonde is deployed.
Lightly lubricate the o-ring on the outside of the battery
cover. DO NOT lubricate the internal o-ring.
Return the battery lid and tighten by hand.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
