I ntr o ducti o n T his page left intenti o nally blank Thank you for purchasing the YSI Pro30, an instrument from the YSI Professional Series product family. The Pro30 measures conductivity and temperature in water. The Pro30 features an impact resistant and waterproof (IP-67) case, a rugged MS-8 (military-spec) cable connector, backlit display, user-selectable sensor options, 50 data set memory, internal barometer and a rubber over-mold case.
. Place the battery cover on the back of the instrument and tighten the four screws. Do not over-tighten. Figure 1. Pro30 with battery cover removed. Notice battery symbols indicating polarities. The waterproof instrument case is sealed at the factory and is not to be opened, except by authorized service technicians. Do not attempt to separate the two halves of the instrument case as this may damage the instrument, break the waterproof seal, and will void the warranty.
Backlight Once the instrument is powered on, pressing the power/backlight key will turn on the display backlight. The backlight will remain on until the key is pressed again or after two minutes of not pressing any key on the keypad. Powering Off To turn the instrument off, press and hold the power/backlight key three seconds. for Navigation Figure 3, Note the keyed connector. The up and down of the Pro30.
appropriate language then press enter to confirm (figure 5). If an incorrect language is selected, it may be changed in the System Setup menu. Select Language: English Français Español Deutsch Use to select Language Press to confirm Figure 5, Select language. After selecting a language, the Run screen will be displayed. The next time the instrument is powered up, the Run screen will display immediately after the splash screen.
Conductivity Units (Cond. Units) Highlight Cond. Units (Conductivity Units) and press enter to open a submenu that allows you to select the conductivity units to be displayed on the Run screen. Highlight a unit and press enter to enable or disable it. An enabled conductivity unit will have an ‘X’ in the box next to it. Highlight the ESC-Exit box along the bottom of the display and press enter to save any changes and to close the conductivity units submenu.
Specific Conductance Reference Temperature (SPC Ref. Temp.) SPC Ref. Temp. (Specific Conductance Reference Temperature) is the reference temperature used to calculate Specific Conductance. The reference temperature range is 15 and 25 °C. The default value is 25 °C. To change the reference temperature, highlight SPC Ref. Temp. and press enter to open the submenu. With the reference temperature highlighted, press enter to make the field adjustable.
Resetting the System Setup Menu to Factory Default To reset the Pro30 settings to factory default, press the down arrow key while in the System Setup menu until the Reset - box is highlighted, then press enter. The instrument will ask you to confirm the reset. Highlight Yes and press enter to continue with the reset or highlight No and press enter to cancel the reset. A Factory Reset will not affect data saved in the instrument’s memory.
Calibrating in Salinity 1. 2. 3. 4. Figure 7, solution above two holes near cable. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Turn the instrument on and allow the conductivity and temperature readings to stabilize. Press and hold the Cal key for 3 seconds. Highlight Conductivity and press enter. Next, highlight the desired calibration method, Sp. Conductance or Conductivity, and press enter. Highlight the units you wish to calibrate, either uS/cm or mS/cm, and press enter. 1 mS = 1,000 uS.
Saving Data i The Pro30 can not communicate to a PC via a Pro Series communications saddle. Connecting the Pro30 to a communication saddle may cause erratic instrument behavior. From the Run screen, use the up or down arrow keys to highlight the Save box and press enter to save the current readings. The instrument will indicate the data set is saved and display the saved data set’s number (figure 8). Figure 9, Data mode.
C are , M aintenance and S t o rage This section describes the proper procedures for care, maintenance and storage of the instrument. The goal is to maximize their lifetime and minimize downtime associated with improper instrument usage. General Maintenance General Maintenance - Gasket The instrument utilizes a gasket as a seal to prevent water from entering the battery compartment. Following the recommended procedures will help keep the instrument functioning properly.
Sensor Storage Symptom SHORT AND Long TERM STORAGE For both short and long term storage, the conductivity sensor should be stored clean and dry. Conductivity readings are inaccurate. 3. 4. Long Term Storage Temperature: -5 to 70°C (23 to 158°F) 5. T r o ublesh o o ting 6. Possible Solution Instrument will not turn on, a battery symbol appears, or “Critical Shutdown” displays on the screen. 1. 2. Temperature values display Over or Undr on Run screen. 1. 3. 2.
