Sensor Installation - YSI ProDSS Manual

ProDSS Settings & Troubleshooting
Sensor, port plug, guard installation
Perform sensor/port plug installation in a clean,
dry environment; do not install in the field!
The ports on the ProDSS bulkhead are
universal; therefore, you can install any sensor
into any port. For highest accuracy, always
install a conductivity/temperature sensor to
compensate all measurement data for
temperature and dissolved oxygen data for
conductivity.
Before installing a sensor or port plug,
m ake sure that the sensor and bulkhead
connectors are clean and dry.

Equipment needed for sensor/port plug
installation:
• Sensor(s) and or port plug(s)
• Bulkhead
• Krytox or silicone o-ring lubricant
• Sensor installation/removal tool
• Lint-free cloth

Sensor Installation

1. Inspect the bulkhead port for contamination.
If the port is wet, carefully dry with a lint-
free cloth.
Field Procedures
2. Apply a thin coat of lubricant to the sensor
o-rings. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a
lint-free cloth.
3. Carefully align the sensor and bulkhead
connectors by inserting the sensor into the
port and then gently rotating the sensor
until the connectors align. Once aligned,
push the sensor toward the bulkhead until
the sensor seats in the port.
4. Carefully finger-tighten the retaining nut
clockwise. NOTE: If any resistance is felt,
loosen the retaining nut completely to
prevent cross-threading. Incorrect
installation may cause damage to the sensor
or bulkhead that is not covered by the
warranty.
5.
to tighten the retaining nut clockwise until
snug, about a ¼ to ½ additional turn of the
retaining nut. NOTE: Do not over-tighten
If there is an
the retaining nut. Over-tightening can cause
damage to the sensor or bulkhead not
covered by the warranty.
If there is an empty slot in the bulkhead, install
a port plug.
