Options to Fit Your Applications!

• Battery Options – e unit is powered by alkaline batteries or an
optional rechargeable battery pack with quick-charge feature.

• Optional Barometer – Internal barometer can be user-calibrated
and displayed along with other data, used in dissolved oxygen cali­brations, and logged to memory for tracking changes in barometric
pressure. (Choose 556-02)

• Optional Flow Cell - e 5083 ow cell can be used for ground
water applications or anytime water is pumped for sampling.

• Carrying Case – e instrument comes standard with YSI 5061,
a so-sided carrying case with enough space for the 556, a 20-meter
cable, and calibrating supplies. An optional 5080 hard-sided carrying
case is also available.

• Condence Solution® - Quality assurance ensured. Quickly check
conductivity, pH, and ORP readings with one solution.
