2. GETTING STARTED
This section is designed to quickly familiarize you with the hardware and software components of
the 6000
UPG sonde and its accessories. You will then proceed to sensor installations, cable
connections, software installation and finally basic communication with the 6000 UPG Sonde.
Diagrams, menu flow charts and basic written instructions will guide you through basic hardware
and software setup. For the first time user, we encourage the use a personal computer with PC6000
software during this initial setup procedure.
By the end of Section 2 you will have...
❏ Installed sensors in your sonde
❏ Installed PC6000 software in your PC
❏ Established communication between the sonde software and PC software
❏ Enabled appropriate sensors
❏ Assigned appropriate report parameters and units
Successful completion of the above list is essential for you to continue on to Section 3 which
focuses on performing calibrations and making measurements.
2.1 UNPACKING
Remove the instrument from the shipping container. Be careful not to discard any parts or supplies.
Check off all items on the packing list and inspect all assemblies and components for damage. If
any parts are damaged or missing, contact your representative immediately. If you do not know
from which dealer your 6000
UPG was purchased, refer to Appendix C for contact information.
NOTE: Reagents for the 6000 UPG are not packaged in the same carton as the instrument. These
materials must be ordered separately and will arrive in a separate package.
2.2 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
There are a number of ways in which you may configure the 6000 UPG Sonde with various
computers, terminals, and data collection devices. You should think about your particular
application needs and then make certain that you have all of the components you need to make
your system work. Below is a list of possible configurations that may be of interest to you. Each
is depicted in diagrammatic sketches on the next 3 pages.
