Effective Date: 1/26/2017
Page 1 of 8
INSTRUMENT:
Multiparameter Water Quality Instrument
MODEL:
-
Pro 1020 Meter (6051020)
-
Cable (6051020)
-
Probes: pH (605101), DO (605203)
MANUFACTURER:
Yellow Springs Instrument Co., Inc. (YSI)

PRECAUTIONS:

POTENTIAL INTERFERENCES
General –
-
Greatest accuracy is achieved if the actual samples to be measured are within 10 ˚C of the
Calibration solutions.
-
Longer cable lengths introduce more error into the readings.
Dissolved oxygen –
-
Chlorine, sulfur dioxide, nitric oxide, and nitrous oxide can affect readings by behaving like
oxygen at the membrane.
-
Static electricity may affect readings.
-
Gold Cathode - The gold cathode on the sensor must be textured properly. It may become
tarnished or plated with silver after extended periods of use.
-
Bubbles under the membrane cap will affect readings.
-
Excessive water in calibration/storage sleeve will affect calibration.

(YSI) PRECAUTIONS: POTENTIAL INTERFERENCES General – Greatest accuracy is achieved if the actual samples to be measured are within 10 ˚C of the calibration solutions.
  • Page 2 SAFETY No special precautions PROCEDURES: Configuration – The YSI Pro 1020 instrument is capable of simultaneous measurement of multiple water chemistry parameters including temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Instrument overview Meter – The YSI Pro 1020 handheld meter includes internal hardware and software for calculation of parameters, a display screen, and a keypad for data entry and screen navigation.
  • Page 3 Instrument software setup Press the Power key to turn the instrument on. The instrument will briefly display the splash screen with the YSI logo then go directly to the main run screen. Setup Sensors Press Menu button.
  • Page 4 IOP 019B.0 Effective Date: 1/26/2017 Page 4 of 8 Install the 1001 pH sensor in port 1 as follows: If an old sensor is installed, remove it by twisting counter-clockwise. Apply a dab of grease to the new sensor o-rings. Unscrew the cap from the sensor storage bottle to relieve tension on the o-ring and then remove the bottle.
  • Page 5 IOP 019B.0 Effective Date: 1/26/2017 Page 5 of 8 At least one of the calibration points must be done with pH 7 buffer. For auto buffer recognition to work properly with an older or dirty sensor, calibrate in pH 7 buffer first. For highest accuracy, use fresh, traceable pH buffers and ensure the sensor and calibration cup are clean.
  • Page 6 IOP 019B.0 Effective Date: 1/26/2017 Page 6 of 8 completely saturated and to allow the sensors to stabilize. Press and hold Cal for 3 seconds. Highlight Dissolved Oxygen and press enter to confirm. The meter will indicate Calibrating %DO on the display The instrument will use the internal barometer during calibration and will display this value in the bar at the bottom of the display.
