In the following section, you will be provided with step-by-step instructions on how to get your
6000
UPG
up and running. We recommend following the steps in the order listed. However,
depending on your sonde configuration and the optional sensors which you have purchased, some
of the steps may not apply to your setup. If so, simply skip to the next step in the protocol which is
relevant to your application.
STEP 1. INSTALL YSI 6030 DO/COND/TEMP PROBE
Follow these instructions to prepare your new probe
and install it in the Model 6000
UPG .
1. Open the membrane kit and prepare the electrolyte.
Dissolve the KCl crystals in the dropper bottle by
filling it to the neck with distilled water and shaking
until the solid is dissolved. Insure that the crystals are
fully dissolved before use.
2. Remove the two protective caps and the dry
membrane from the 6030 probe.
NOTE: Your probe is shipped with a protective dry
membrane on the dissolved oxygen sensor tip. It is
very important not to scratch or contaminate the sensor
tip. Handle the new probe with care. Avoid touching or
accidentally hitting the sensor tip.
