  • Page 4: Getting Started

    1. Getting Started Battery Installation The ProQuatro requires (2) alkaline C-cell batteries which are included with the purchase of a new instrument. Battery life depends on parameters and usage. Under normal conditions, battery life is approximately 80 hours for continuous use at room temperature.
  • Page 5 Field Cables and Sensors Most field cables have at least one sensor port in which a sensor must be installed. Ports on these cables are sensor-specific, so it is important to ensure the correct sensor is installed in each port. Available field cables are listed in the table below: YSI Item # Description 605790-1, 4, 10, 20, or 30...

  • Page 16 Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Sensor Setup (continued) There are two compatible sensors for use with a field cable: • Polarographic – This sensor has a black sensor body and is engraved with the model number 2003. • Galvanic – This sensor has a grey sensor body and is engraved with the model number 2002. In terms of physical configuration, membrane material, and general performance, YSI Professional Series Galvanic dissolved oxygen sensors are exactly like the Professional Series Polarographic sensors.
  • Page 17 Conductivity Sensor Setup (continued) %/°C (Percent per Degree Celsius) is the temperature coefficient used to calculate temperature compensated Specific Conductance.

  • Page 22: Conductivity Calibration

    Conductivity Calibration A 16 oz nalgene bottle is included with all 6051030 ISE/conductivity cables. This bottle can be used to calibrate the conductivity sensor with an ISE sensor installed. A ring-stand should be used to support this container during calibration. YSI recommends calibrating conductivity first, as the salinity reading from the conductivity sensor is a variable used to determine the dissolved oxygen mg/L measurement.

  • Page 23: Dissolved Oxygen Calibration

    Dissolved Oxygen Calibration 03/03/20 10:34:42 AM 100% The instrument offers three options for calibrating dissolved oxygen: DO% in Calibrate DO water-saturated air, DO mg/L (ppm) in a solution of known dissolved oxygen DO % determined by a Winkler Titration, and a Zero point. If performing a zero point DO mg/L (ppm) calibration, you must also perform a DO% or DO mg/L (ppm) calibration following Zero...

  • Page 25: Ph Calibration

    pH Calibration Observe the pH mV readings during calibration to understand the condition and response of the pH sensor. In buffer 7, pH mV values should be between -50 and +50. In pH 4 buffer, the mV reading should be 165 to 185 mV higher than the reading in pH 7 buffer.

    Ammonium, Nitrate, and Chloride Calibration Exposure to the high ionic content of pH buffers and some conductivity standards can cause a significant, but temporary, drift in the ammonium, nitrate, and chloride ISE sensors. Therefore, when calibrating the pH sensor, YSI recommends that you use one of the following methods to minimize errors in the subsequent readings: •...

  • Page 28: Barometer Calibration

    Chilled Third Calibration Point The chilled 3-point calibration is recommended if there is a large temperature variation during sampling or when the temperature of the media cannot be anticipated. The highest concentration solution and one of the lower concentration solutions should be at ambient temperature.

    Taking Measurements For the highest accuracy, calibrate the sensor(s) before taking measurements. Some recommendations when preparing to record data are Under Probe g Setup, configure the DO, Conductivity, and ISE channels for the sensors that will actually be connected to the instrument.

  • Page 35: Care, Maintenance, And Storage

    3. Care, Maintenance, and Storage This section describes the proper procedures for care, maintenance and storage of the sensors. The goal is to maximize their lifetime and minimize down-time associated with improper sensor usage. General Maintenance O-Rings The instrument utilizes o-rings as seals to prevent water from entering the battery compartment and sensor ports. Following the recommended procedures will help keep your instrument functioning properly.
  • Page 36 To re-install the o-rings: Place a small amount of o-ring grease between your thumb and index finger. More grease is NOT BETTER! Draw the o-ring through the grease while pressing the fingers together to place a very light covering of grease to the o-ring. Place the o-ring into its groove making sure that it does not twist or roll.

  • Page 37: Sensor Maintenance

    Sensor Maintenance Dissolved Oxygen Sensor Maintenance Membrane Cap Installation The DO sensor (Polarographic and Galvanic) is shipped with a dry, protective red cap that will need to be removed before using. Remove the protective cap or used membrane cap and replace it with a new membrane cap following these instructions: Remove the sensor guard to access the sensor tip.
  • Page 38 Polarographic Sensors (continued) Next, with your free hand, hold the sensor in a vertical position, tip down. Place the sensor tip directly down on the sanding disk and twist it in a circular motion to sand the gold cathode. The goal is to sand off any build-up and to lightly scratch the cathode to provide a larger surface area for the O2 solution under the membrane.
  • Page 39 Galvanic Sensors We recommend that the Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution and the membrane cap be changed at least once every 60 days during regular use. In addition, the NaCl solution and membrane should be changed if (a) bubbles are visible under the membrane; (b) significant deposits of dried electrolyte are visible around the membrane;...

  • Page 40: Conductivity Sensor Maintenance

    Conductivity Sensor Maintenance The openings that allow sample access to the conductivity electrodes should be cleaned regularly. The small cleaning brush included in the Maintenance Kit is ideal for this purpose. Dip the brush in clean water and insert it into each hole 10 to 12 times. In the event that deposits have formed on the electrodes, it may be necessary to use a mild detergent (laboratory grade soap or bathroom foaming tile cleaner) with the brush.

  • Page 41: Chloride Sensor Maintenance

    pH, ORP, and pH/ORP Sensor Maintenance (continued) If biological contamination of the reference junction is suspected or if good response is not restored by the above procedures, perform the following additional cleaning step: Soak the sensor for approximately 1 hour in a 1:1 dilution of commercially-available chlorine bleach. Rinse the sensor in clean water and then soak for at least 1 hour in clean water with occasional stirring to remove residual bleach from the junction.

  • Page 42: Sensor Storage

    Sensor Storage Short-Term Storage – All Sensors The cable assembly is supplied with a sensor storage container, or sleeve, that attaches to the cable. The container is used for short- term storage (less than 30 days). Be sure to keep a small amount of moisture (tap water) in the container during storage. This is done to maintain a 100% saturated air environment which is ideal for short-term sensor storage.
  • Page 43 pH Sensor Long-term Storage The key to pH sensor storage, short or long-term, is to make certain that the sensor does not dry out. Sensors which have been allowed to dry out due to improper storage procedures may be irreparably damaged by the dehydration and will require replacement.
