Unpacking and Inspection
Inspect the outside of the shipping
container(s) for damage. If you see any
damage, contact your shipping carrier
immediately.
Remove the equipment from the shipping
box. Some parts are loose in the box, so check
the packing material carefully. Check o all
items on the packing list and inspect them for
damage.

6-Series Sonde
Quick Start Guide
Preparing Sonde for Use
To prepare the sonde for operation, you
will need to:
• Install a new membrane on the YSI 6562
DO Probe, if you are using this item.
• Install probes (sensors) into the connectors
on the sonde bulkhead.
• Provide power for the sonde through
batteries or line power.
• Connect a eld cable or PC communication
cable.
It is important to calibrate all
sensors prior to using the sonde for eld
measurements. Refer to Section 2.6.2 of the
6-Series User Manual.
Installing Membrane on
6562 DO Probe
(Skip to next section if you are not using
this probe)
e 6562 Rapid Pulse
™
Dissolved Oxygen
probe is shipped with a protective dry
membrane on the sensor tip. Remove the
O-ring and membrane. Handle the probe
with care. It is important not to scratch or
contaminate the sensor tip.
e DO sensor on the 600R/QS cannot
be removed.
Open the 6562 DO Probe Kit and follow these
steps:
1. Prepare the electrolyte solution as specied
on the bottle.
2. Put/keep the protective cap on the
connector end of the probe to protect it from
contamination.
3. Hold the probe in a vertical position and
apply a few drops of KCl solution to tip. e
uid should completely ll the small moat
around the electrodes—and create a large
meniscus on the probe face. Be sure no air
bubbles are stuck to the face of the sensor. If
necessary, shake o electrolyte and start over.
4. Secure a membrane between your le
thumb and the probe body. Touch membrane
only at the ends.
5. With the thumb and forenger of
your right hand, grasp the free end of the
membrane and gently stretch it up, over,
and down the other side of the sensor. e
membrane should be stretched below the
ridge where the O-ring seats so a good seal is
achieved.
6. Secure the end of the membrane under the
forenger of your le hand.
7. Roll the O-ring over the end of the probe,
being careful not to touch the membrane
surface with your ngers.
8. If bubbles or wrinkles are present, remove
the membrane and repeat steps 3-7.
9. Trim excess membrane with a razor blade.
Rinse o any excess KCl solution, but be
careful not to get any water in the connector.
Refer to Section 2.3 of the 6-Series User
Manual for complete instructions and photos.
Installing Probes
Before installing any probe into the
sonde bulkhead, be sure that the probe port
is free of moisture. Use a Kimwipe
™
or lint-
free cloth to dry.
1. Remove the calibration cup from your
sonde, if necessary.
2. Using the long end of the probe
installation tool supplied in the 6570
Maintenance Kit, remove the port plug from
the port.
3. Some probes can only be installed into
specic ports. Refer to Section 2.3 of the 6-
Series User Manual for port designations.
4. Apply a thin coat of lubricant (Krytox
™
)
to the O-rings on the connector side of the
probe.
Make sure there are NO contaminants
between the O-ring and the probe.
Contaminants will cause leaks when the
sonde is deployed.
When installing probes, be
careful not to cross-thread the
probe nuts. If you meet resistance
while nger-tightening, STOP,
back out, and begin again.

experienced user with the steps
required to make your YSI 6-Series
product operational.
For full instructions, please refer to
the 6-Series User Manual.
5. Optical probes (6025 chlorophyll, 6130
Rhodamine, 6131 phycocyanin blue-green
algae, 6132 phycoerythrin blue-green algae,
6136 turbidity, and 6150 ROX DO): Insert
the probe in the appropriate optical port,
seating the pins of the two connectors. Hand-
tighten the probe nut to the bulkhead. Finish
tightening the probe using the short end of the
installation tool. Do not over-tighten.
6. 6562 Rapid Pulse DO, 6560 conductivity/
temperature, 6561/6579 pH, or 6565/6569
pH/ORP probes: Insert the probe into the
appropriate port, seating the pins of the two
connectors. Push the probe inward so that it
seats into the port. Screw down the probe nut
by hand until it is nger tight. Use the long
end of the installation tool to tighten the probe
a quarter turn or until snug. Do not over-
tighten.
7. Ammonium, nitrate, and chloride ISE
probes do not have slip nuts and should be
installed without tools. Seat the probe body
directly on the sonde bulkhead. Use your
ngers to tighten.
