Temperature Sensor
To ensure optimal performance, it is important to keep the temperature sensor free of any deposits. Rinse the
thermistor after each use. If deposits have formed, use mild soapy water and a soft bristle cleaning brush. The sensor
can be stored wet or dry.

Maintenance and Storage
The depth sensor on 4-port ProDSS cables should be flushed after each
use. Fill the syringe (included with the maintenance kit) with clean water
and gently push water through the ports located on the bulkhead. Flush
until clean water flows from the opposite depth port
The sensor can be stored wet or dry. For long-term storage, YSI
recommends storing the sensor dry.
NOTICE: Do not insert objects into the depth ports. Damage to
the depth transducer from incorrect cleaning is not
covered by the warranty.
The conductivity channels should be cleaned after each use. Dip the
sensor's cleaning brush (included with the maintenance kit) in clean water,
insert the brush at the top of the channels, and sweep the channels 15 to
20 times
(Figure
65).
If deposits have formed on the electrodes, use a mild solution of dish
soap and water to brush the channels. For heavy deposits, soak the
sensor in white vinegar, then scrub with the cleaning brush. Rinse the
channels with clean water following the sweepings or soak.
The sensor can be stored wet or dry. For long-term storage, YSI
recommends storing the sensor dry.
