Refers to unattended data capture, with the data stored in The HyQual probe Teleme- It means that you have connected the HyQual probe to a telemetry device, deployed the try Re- HyQual probe in the proper location in the water, and left the site.
Instead of using power from the underwater cable you could use the optional EBP external re- chargeable battery pack. This battery is ideal for HyQual 300 and 300 T due to its 75 mm (3 “) diameter. It also works fine with the 200 version, only it makes it look top heavy. Use the EBP external battery pack when you do not wish to have downtimes of charging the battery.
Barometric pressure is calculated with the use of the depth sensor therefore, you will need to add an optional depth sensor to any of your probes HyQual 200, HyQual 300 and HyQual 300T. When Absolute Pressure method is used (non-vented capacity) there...
Before starting to work, you have to check the functioning and integrity of the system. Check for visible defects on the HyQual probe multi-probe, this may or may not include any or all of the following: mounting facilities, connectors and connections, mechanical parts, internal or external com- munication devices, power supplies or power supply lines, etc.
“Logging” refers to unattended data capture, with the data stored in The HyQual probe. The data are tagged with time and date. Logging is useful if the HyQual probe needs to collect data for days or weeks at a remote location.
Activating Logging To initiate Logging, you must tell the HyQual probe that you want it to start logging. All of the user-in- terface versions have a Hot Button for turning Logging on, or off, on the Home Screen. Simply press the button to toggle between Logging ON and Logging OFF.
Unattended Logging means that you have set the HyQual probe into its Logging mode, deployed the HyQual probe in the proper location in the water, and left the site. The HyQual probe can run for weeks at a time with cable-supplied power or an optional HyQual Internal Lithium Battery Pack. You can, for instance, set the instrument to take a set of readings every half-hour, anchor it in an estuary, and return after two weeks to retrieve the instrument and download the data to a PC, laptop, tablet, or phone.
Please note that this battery ads several inches to the length of the probe and that it can also be used with the HyQual 200 only that its diameter would be larger than the HyQual 200’s diameter which will make the probe look top heavy but it will work...
If you will be using an Underwater Cable, you can run power to the HyQual probe from a surface power supply to provide power to HyQual – you don’t need a HyQual Battery Pack. Or, the surface power supply can power HyQual with the optional internal lithium battery pack, thus saving your batteries for emergencies such as the failure of the surface power supply.
Display and the HyQual probe. You can become a minor expert in just a few minutes. The HyQual probe never guesses parameter values, so you must calibrate it from time to time by simply telling the instrument what it should read in a calibration situation for which the correct parameter value is known.
SRF calculation, but the effect is the same). If your response is 80 μA, your SRF would be 80%. When you press the OK button to accept a calibration, the HyQual probe automatically accepts your calibration if the SRF is between 60% and 140%. If the SRF falls out- side that range, you will be cautioned to check your standard value, make sure the sensor is clean, make sure the reading has stabilized, etc.
7.3.4 Calibration Record (Cal Log) Every HyQual probe has a dedicated data file called CAL.LOG. The CAL.LOG records every calibration made to your instrument, whether you accepted the calibration or not. This file shows the time and date of the calibration, the parameter calibrated, the reading before the calibration was accepted, the read- ing after the calibration was accepted, the “raw”...

Take the lid off the jar and let the water stand for about five minutes so air bubbles float out. 4. Screw your calibration cup onto the HyQual probe housing and remove the cup lid. With the sensors pointed upward, fill the calibration cup until your aerated water covers the DO sensor by a centimeter or so.
1. Open the Calibration menu and select “SpCond µS/cm” or “SpCond mS/cm”, depending on your preference of units. 2. Screw your calibration cup onto the HyQual probe housing and remove the cup lid. Rinse your sensors several times with the standard you’ll use for calibration.
ORP is also known as Oxidation-Reduction Potential or Redox. The actual ORP sensor is the 1 mm plati- num dot you can see when looking down at the pH sensor – if The HyQual probe has ORP. Because plat- inum does not react with ions in the water, it won’t give or take any electrons from those ions unless they are very persuasive.
HyQuest Solutions’ Depth sensors are usually buried inside the instrument, with a small pressure port that can be seen on the outside of the HyQual probe bottom cap. They require no regular maintenance, but you might check occasionally to make sure the pressure port is not clogged. If it is, use something soft, like a toothpick, to clear the port of obstruction.
1. Open the Calibration menu and select “Turb NTU” of “Turb FNU” depending on your preference for measurement units. 2. Screw your calibration cup onto the HyQual probe housing and remove the cup lid. Rinse your sensors several times with the standard you’ll use for calibration.
(such as a PC or logger). When you first power-up the HyQual probe, a sequence of red and amber light flashes provides infor- mation about the voltage of the External Battery Pack (if any) and whether or not Logging is activated or not.
