STEP 4. ATTACH CABLE
Remove the waterproof cap from the
sonde connector and set it aside for later
reassembly. Connect a PC interface cable
to the sonde connector. A built-in key will
ensure proper pin alignment. Rotate the
cable connector gently until the key
engages and then tighten the connectors
together by rotating clockwise. Note that
the attachment is by hand only! No tools
are required nor should they be used.
Attach the strain relief connector to the
sonde handle. Rotate the strain relief
connector nut to close the connector's
opening.
The other end of the cable is a military-
style 8-pin connector. This connector
plugs directly into the 610-D and 610-DM
display loggers. Most other applications
will require the use of an adapter. For example, to connect the 6000
UPG
to a computer, use a YSI
6095b MS-8 to DB-9 adapter.
STEP 5. REVIEW POWER OPTIONS
Some type of external power supply can be used to power the 6000
UPG
sonde in lieu of batteries.
For laboratory setup and calibration with the sonde interfaced to a computer, the YSI 6038 (110
VAC) or 6037 (220 VAC) can be employed. Most adapters include a short pigtail for power that
plugs into the power supply. After attaching the three pin connector on the power supply to the
pigtail, simply plug the power supply into the appropriate outlet. If you have purchased a 610-series
display/logger for use with your 6000
UPG
, attachment of the cable to the 610 will allow your sonde
to be powered from the batteries in the display/logger or from the 610 power supply if the 610
internal batteries are not fully charged. However, the 6000
UPG
circuitry will place a substantial
current draw on the 610 batteries resulting in less usable battery life than for other YSI instruments
such as the 600, 600XL, and 6000
UPG
. For this reason, we recommend that batteries be installed in
the 6000
UPG
if a 610 is used as the terminal.
See pages 2-2 to 2-4 for specific information on cables, adapters and power supplies required for
connecting your 6000
UPG
to various devices.
