SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION The 6500 Environmental Process Monitor is designed for configuration with YSI 6-Series sonde(s) to measure up to fifteen water quality parameters. All sensors that perform the parameter measurements are located on the 6-Series sonde, which is submersed and secured in the medium. Conversion of the sensor signals from analog to digital is performed by microprocessor based electronics located in the 6-Series sonde interior.
Introduction Section 1 With the optional Breakout Box (YSI #6504), the 6500 Environmental Process Monitor can be used with multiple sondes. The 6500 Monitor is designed for indoor or outdoor use, and features a watertight enclosure. An optional weather shield (YSI # 6505) is also available. Other optional accessories include several different mounting kits for the sondes and 6500 Monitor. See Appendix D, Accessories, for more information. 1.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Inspect the outside of the shipping carton for damage. If damage is detected, contact the carrier immediately. Remove the instrument from the shipping container. Be careful not to discard any parts or supplies. Confirm that all items on the packing list are present. Inspect all assemblies and components for damage. The basic 6500 Environmental Process Monitor is shipped with the following major components.
Installation Section 2 Two major components make up the 6500 Environmental Monitoring System: the 6500 Monitor and the 6-Series Sonde that contains the sensors. The sonde is a multi-parameter sensor device that must be placed in a representative sampling location to monitor desired water quality parameters in the flow stream.
Installation Section 2 Figure 1 Sonde orientation Not drawn to scale. Sonde Stream If the sonde is to be utilized in monitoring for results of chemical feeds and resulting chemical reactions, sufficient downstream mixing and reaction time should be provided prior to insertion of the sonde for monitoring. If pH adjustment is necessary, the sonde location should provide for sufficient mixing and reaction time upstream of the location.
Installation Section 2 Note: The 6500 Monitor is provided with a weatherproof enclosure that will withstand most environmental conditions with no compromise to system performance. An optional Weather Shield (YSI #6505) is available for added protection from the elements.

Installation Section 2 2.5.2 AC POWER INPUT WIRING The 6500 Monitor has a switching power supply and can operate on 100 to 240 VAC power. When you remove the front panel of the 6500 Monitor, take care not to drop the cover since it is not hinged to the Monitor. Refer to figure 8 for power installation. Connect AC power to TB1-1, L1 and L2. Connect ground wire to one of the three 10-32 grounding screws using a lug (not provided).
Installation Section 2 Use the following precautions from UL 508 as a guide to safety for personnel and property. ¾ AC connections and grounding must be in compliance with UL 508 and/or local electrical codes. ¾ The metal stiffener provides support and proper electrical continuity between conduit fittings. ¾ This type 4/4X enclosure requires a conduit hub or equivalent that provides watertight connection, REF UL 508-26.10.
Installation Section 2 2.5.4 GROUNDING INFORMATION This section contains important installation information regarding grounding of the 6500 Monitor and 6-Series Sonde. The sonde is powered by the 6500 Monitor or by batteries (depending on which sonde you have chosen) and will be operated with a “floating” ground reference. This requires that the sonde not be individually grounded. Grounding the sonde individually will cause a “ground loop”; i.e.
Installation Section 2 mode suppression and nanosecond reaction time. Surge suppressors should be internally fused to remove the load if the unit is overloaded or the internal protection fails. Signal line suppressors protect 4-20 mA DC current loops, low voltage signals and relay outputs from damage due to electrical transients induced in the signal lines from lightning discharges or nearby electrical devices. Signal line suppressors should be installed at each end of an analog loop.
Installation Section 2 channel before inserting the screws. When securing the screws, take care not to cross thread. The screws are stainless steel, and the receiving threads are brass. Do not over-tighten! IMPORTANT! Anytime the 6500 cover is removed, replace the desiccant packs with new packs. Anytime the 6500 front panel is removed, place it on top of the 6500 Monitor or secure it so that the blue ribbon cable does not bear the weight of the cover. 2.

SECTION 4 CALIBRATION In this section, you will learn how to calibrate the 6-Series Sonde sensors using the 6500 Monitor (field calibration) as the interface device. You will also learn how to view your data on a computer display. MULTIPLE SONDE CALIBRATION If you are using multiple sondes with the 6500 Monitor, each sonde must be calibrated separately. To calibrate each sonde, first make sure that the name of the sonde is highlighted, as in the figure below.
Laboratory and Field Calibration Section 4 CONTAINERS NEEDED TO CALIBRATE A SONDE The calibration cup that comes with your sonde serves as a calibration chamber for all calibrations. You need to visually observe the turbidity calibration to insure that no air bubbles are trapped near the optics and that standards are homogeneous. If you are using the 6026 “wiping” turbidity probe, you should visually verify proper movement of the wiper mechanism.
Laboratory and Field Calibration Section 4 6. You do not need to remove the probe guard to rinse and dry the probes between calibration solutions. The inaccuracy resulting from simply rinsing the probe compartment and drying the outside of the sonde is minimal. 7. For the 600R, 600XL and 600XLM, remove the stainless steel weight from the bottom of the sonde by turning the weight counterclockwise.

SECTION 5 PROPER USE AND CARE OF THE 6500 SYSTEM You are now ready to use your system to monitor the water quality of your stream by simultaneously measuring key parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and pH. Within this section are tips, precautions and protocol for quality assurance. 5.
Proper Use and Care of the 6500 Section 5 IMPLEMENTATION OF MODBUS SYSTEM The 6500 Modbus system can be implemented if your application requires digital data management of one or many parameters on a single data channel. This system involves a simple interface between the 6500 Monitor and a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Configuration of the PLC should be done only by programmers and engineers with PLC experience.
Proper Use and Care of the 6500 Section 5 The following table shows the register areas defined in the 6500: Address 1-128 129-143 Read/Write Read/Write 144-256 257-271 Read only 272-384 385-414 Read only 415-640 YSI Incorporated Description Unused Parameter type The PLC must write to this area to tell the 6500 what parameters it wants. Up to 15 parameters can be written here. After the last parameter the PLC must write a “0”.
Proper Use and Care of the 6500 641-655 Read only Section 5 Scaled integer parameter data The PLC should only read data from the 6500 using this method if it cannot handle floating point data. Most PLCs can manipulate floating point values, so you should try to avoid reading scaled integer values. The value in register 641 corresponds to the parameter type in register 129 and so on. The values are scaled according to a fixed table in the 6500. The scaled data is in an unsigned integer format.
Proper Use and Care of the 6500 Section 5 MODBUS SETUP MENU This menu is accessed from the main menu under “Modbus setup”. Menu item Enable Modbus Address Hardware Format Baud rate Data bits Stop bits Parity Valid Messages Param peek Item description This item must be “checked” to enable Modbus. Note: this item must be off in order to update the code on a 6500. The effective Modbus address is the value you set here plus the sonde address.
Proper Use and Care of the 6500 Section 5 The following sections are designed to help you in these important areas by providing maintenance tips for the overall sonde deployment, help in implementing a quality assurance protocol, and suggested service methods and intervals for the sonde sensors. 5.2.
Proper Use and Care of the 6500 Section 5 The sensors associated with the 6-Series Sonde are of high quality and should exhibit excellent performance in your application in excess of the warranty period. However, the dissolved oxygen, pH, and conductivity sensors will inevitably show some drift during deployment due to natural chemical changes to the reagents in the probes, physical changes of the electrodes, minor fouling of the sensor surfaces, or all of these factors.
Proper Use and Care of the 6500 Section 5 7. Replace the sonde guard. 8. Place the sonde in enough pH 7 buffer to immerse the pH probes. Wait about 3 minutes for the sensor to stabilize in the new medium and record the reading shown on the 6500 Monitor display. The deviation from pH 7 will reflect the sensor drift during the deployment period. 9.
Proper Use and Care of the 6500 Section 5 shown on the 6500 display with those taken by recently-calibrated single parameter instruments. For dissolved oxygen, the probe of a handheld DO instrument similar to the YSI Model 55 can be placed in the stream near the 6-Series Sonde and the reading recorded.
Proper Use and Care of the 6500 5.2.5 Section 5 RECOMMENDED CLEANING OF THE 6500 MONITOR AND ACCESSORIES Clean the 6500 Monitor and accessories as needed. Dampen a cloth with warm water and wipe the outside of the unit. You may use mild detergent with water, if necessary. Do not use acid-based, alkali-based or organic solvent-based solvents (e.g., acetone, alcohol, etc.).
SECTION 6 TROUBLESHOOTING The following section is designed to identify and correct the most common problems that you might encounter when using your 6500/6-Series system in a stream.
Troubleshooting Section 6 front cover and reapply AC power to the unit. If a display still does not appear, turn off the power and consult authorized service for advice. Symptom: No sensor display appears when the 6-Series Sonde is connected to the 6500 Monitor -- only the message “No sonde on line” is present at the bottom of the screen. Possible Cause and Suggested Action: The sonde communication software may not be configured correctly.
Troubleshooting Section 6 unique address. A conflicting address will cause the described communication errors between the 6500 monitor and the conflicting sondes. This problem is characterized by repeated alarm sounds and loss of 6500 Monitor functionality. If this error condition occurs, disconnect all sondes from the 6500 Monitor and proceed as outlined below. It is possible to remedy this problem by changing a conflicting SDI-12 addresss.
Troubleshooting Section 6 6.3 CALIBRATION ERROR MESSAGES Symptom: When attempting to confirm a dissolved oxygen sensor calibration, an error message appears which indicates “High DO Charge”. Possible Cause and Suggested Action: This message indicates a malfunction in the DO sensor that is generally due to the roughness of the electrodes on the surface of the probe face. The charge associated with the DO sensor must be in the range 25 to 100 or the error message will appear when calibration is attempted.
Troubleshooting Section 6 Possible Cause and Suggested Action: The individual pH and conductivity sensors (not just the sonde guard) may have been extensively fouled with debris. Remove the sonde from the stream. Clean the pH glass and reference electrodes by carefully wiping with moist lens cleaning tissue and then rinse with clean water. Clean out the conductivity sensor ports with the brush supplied with the 6-Series Sonde and then rinse with clean water. Inspect the dissolved oxygen probe face.
Troubleshooting Section 6 6.6 4-20 MA CURRENT LOOP OUTPUT PROBLEMS Symptom: 4-20 mA output values at the SCADA or recorder are suspicious or inconsistent with the scale you have set in the 6500 setup menu. Possible Cause and Suggested Action: The problem may be related to the 6500 circuitry, the wiring and/or the SCADA controller. Use the diagnostics menu in the 6500 Monitor to check the outputs of the 4-20 mA outputs. Start checking at the SCADA and work back to the 6500 Monitor.
