  • Page 43: Depth Sensor

    Depth Sensor All ProSwap Loggers have a built-in depth sensor. There are three depth options: • Shallow vented (0-10 meters) • Shallow non-vented (0-10 meters) • Medium non-vented (0-100 meters) Depth is calculated from the pressure exerted by the water column minus atmospheric pressure. Factors influencing depth measurement include barometric pressure, water density, and temperature.
  • Page 44 Conductivity The conductivity/temperature sensor can measure and calculate conductivity, specific conductance (temperature compensated conductivity), salinity, non-linear function (nLF) conductivity, TDS, resistivity, and density. Calibration is only available for specific conductance, conductivity, and salinity. Calibrating one of these options automatically calibrates the other conductivity/temperature parameters listed above.
  • Page 45: Conductivity Sensor

    Conductivity Calibration Select the appropriate calibration standard for the conductivity of the sampling environment. Standards at least 1 mS/cm (1000 s/cm) are recommended for the greatest stability. For fresh water applications, calibrate to 1,000. For saltwater applications, calibrate to 50,000 S.’ Make sure the conductivity sensor is clean prior to calibration.
  • Page 46: Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

    Dissolved Oxygen The principle of operation of the ProDSS optical dissolved oxygen sensor is based on the well-documented concept that dissolved oxygen quenches both the intensity and the lifetime of the luminescence associated with a carefully chosen chemical dye. The DO sensor operates by shining a blue light of the proper wavelength on this luminescent dye which is immobilized in a matrix and formed into a disk.

  • Page 48 Dissolved Oxygen Calibration Optical Dissolved Oxygen (ODO) calibration requires the current “true” barometric pressure. Make sure that the barometer is read- ing accurately prior to ODO calibration (See 3.X Barometer). Calibrating DO% automatically calibrates the mg/L and vice versa; there is no reason to calibrate both parameters. For both ease of use and accuracy, YSI typically recommends calibrating DO%.
  • Page 49 ODO Zero Point Calibration Place the ODO and Temperature sensors in a solution of zero DO. NOTE: A zero DO solution can be made by dissolving approximately 8-10 grams of sodium sulfite into 500 mL of tap water. Mix the solution thoroughly.
  • Page 50 Long-term Storage: • Method 1: Submerge the sensing end of the sensor in a container of distilled or deionized water. Periodically check the level of the water to make sure that it does not evaporate. • Method 2: Wet the sponge located in the cap originally included with the ODO sensor, then install on sensing end of the ODO sensor.
  • Page 51 ODO Sensor Cap Optical DO sensor caps are warrantied for 12 months: • ProDSS ODO Sensor Cap [SKU: 626890] = 12 months Depending on usage and storage practices, the cap may last longer than its warranty period. As the ODO sensor caps ages, deterioration of the dye layer can reduce measurement stability and response time. Periodically inspect the sensor cap for damage and large scratches in the dye layer.
  • Page 52 Updating the ODO Sensor Cap Coefficients After installing a new sensor cap, connect the probe to the handheld and turn the instrument on. Locate the Calibration Code Label on the ODO Sensor Cap Instruction Sheet. This contains the calibration codes for this particular sensor cap. Follow the procedures below to enter the new calibration coefficients into the instrument.
  • Page 53 pH/ORP Users can choose between a pH sensor or a combination pH/ORP sensor to measure these parameters. pH describes the acid and base characteristics of water. A pH of 7.0 is neutral; values below 7 are acidic; values above 7 are alkaline. The ProSwap Logger measures pH with two electrodes combined in the same probe: one for hydrogen ions and one as a reference.
  • Page 54 ORP designates the oxidizing-reducing potential of a water sample and is useful for water which contains a high concentration of redox-active species, such as the salts of many metals and strong oxidizing (chlorine) and reducing (sulfite ion) agents. However, ORP is a non-specific measurement—the measured potential is reflective of a combination of the effects of all the dissolved species in the medium.
  • Page 55 pH Calibration 3-Point Always start the calibration with pH 7 buffer. Fill the graduated cylinder to the appropriate level with pH 7 buffer solution. With the probe guard installed, carefully immerse the probe into the buffer solution. Make sure both the pH sensor and temperature sensor are submerged.
  • Page 56 ORP Calibration Obtain a premixed standard solution that is approved for use with Ag/ AgCl ORP sensors or prepare a standard with a known oxidation reduction potential (ORP) value. Zobell solution is recommended. With the probe guard installed, carefully immerse the probe into the standard solution.
  • Page 57 Advanced Cleaning For moderate contamination or slow response after advanced rinsing, remove the sensor from the bulkhead and perform the following steps: Remove any foreign matter from the sensor tip. If necessary, use a moistened cotton swab to carefully remove foreign material from the glass bulb and junction.
  • Page 58 Short-term Storage: When in regular field use, the pH-pH/ORP sensors should remain on the bulkhead with the calibration/storage sleeve installed. Place a small amount of tap or surface water in the cup prior to storage or transport. The probes should be kept in this water-saturated air chamber between uses;...

  • Page 62 ISE Calibration YSI recommends a 2-point calibration for ISEs. For best results, use standards that differ by 2 orders of magnitude: • 1 mg/L and 100 mg/L for Ammonium and Nitrate • 10 mg/L and 1,000 mg/L for Chloride Fill the graduated cylinder to the appropriate level standard for calibration point #1.
  • Page 63 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.
  • Page 64 Ammonium Standards (continued) 1 mg/L Standard Accurately measure 10.0 mL of the above 100 mg/L standard solution into a 1000 mL volumetric flask. Add 2.6 g of lithium acetate dihydrate to the flask. Add approximately 500 mL of distilled or deionized water. Swirl to dissolve the solid reagents and then dilute to the volumetric mark with water.

  • Page 66 Short-term Storage: When in regular field use, the sensor should remain installed on the sonde in an environment of water-saturated air such as a storage sleeve with a wet sponge. Long-term Storage: Users should remove the sensors from the sonde and place them in their dry storage bottle (installed on the sensor during shipping) to protect the sensor tip.
  • Page 67: Turbidity Sensor

    Turbidity Sensor Turbidity is the indirect measurement of the suspended solid concentration in water and is typically determined by shining a light beam into the sample solution and then measuring the light that is scattered off of the suspended particles. Turbidity is an important water quality parameter and is a fundamental tool for monitoring environmental changes due to events like weather-induced runoff or illicit discharges.
  • Page 68 Fouling Precaution Turbidity measurements are vulnerable to both biofouling and non-biological fouling. This is because of the high sensitivity and resolution of measurements, which can be affected by any changes to the sensor face that light must pass through. Any obstruction of that light path will affect measurements, and even bubbles on the sensor’s face can affect measurements.
  • Page 69 Turbidity Calibration 2-Point NOTE: The ProDSS Turbidity Sensor must be used with the Extended Sensor Guard [Item# 626740] which is sold separately. Turbidity calibrations, more than most other parameters, are susceptible to interference from contamination. It is critical for calibrations to be performed with very clean sensors, guards, and cups.
  • Page 70: Total Algae Sensors

    4.10 Total Algae Sensors YSI offers two Total Algae (TAL) sensor options. Both are dual-channel fluorescence sensors. The channels on the TAL-PC sensor refer to two independent data sets: one results from a blue excitation beam that excites the chlorophyll a (Chl) molecule and the second results from an orange excitation beam that excites the phycocyanin (PC) accessory pigment.
  • Page 71 Fouling Precaution Fluorescence-based measurements are vulnerable to both biofouling and non-biological fouling. This is because of the high sensitivity and resolution of measurements, which can be affected by any changes to the sensor face that light must pass through. Any obstruction of that light path will affect measurements, and even bubbles on the sensor’s face can affect measurements. Without any active anti-fouling, users may find limited applications where Total Algae monitoring with the ProSwap Logger can be effective.
  • Page 72 Calibration Standards Rhodamine WT dye solution must be used when completing a 2-point calibration. Purchase Rhodamine WT as a 2.5% solution to follow the procedure below. Kingscote Chemicals (Miamisburg, OH, 1-800-394-0678) has historically had a 2.5% solution (item #106023) that works well with this procedure. Note that there are many types of Rhodamine—make sure Rhodamine WT is selected. If a 2.5% solution cannot be obtained commercially, prepare it from a solid or from another concentration of a liquid solution to a 2.5% final concentration, or adjust the dilutions below accordingly.

  • Page 74 PE, PC and Chlorophyll Calibration 2-Point Each channel of the sensor must be calibrated independently. Calibration of the chlorophyll channel does not set the calibration for the PC channel or the PE channel. In addition, calibrating in RFU for a channel does not automatically calibrate the µg/L measurement for the same channel.
  • Page 75 TAL Sensor Maintenance Clean the sensing window with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. If necessary, use mild soapy water. The sensor can be stored wet or dry. For long-term storage, YSI recommends storing the sensor dry. Install the shipping cap or sensor guard to prevent scratches or damage to the optical sensing window.
  • Page 76 4.11 Barometer The ProSwap and ProDSS handhelds have a built-in barometer. The barometer is factory calibrated and should rarely need to be recalibrated.
