INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the YSI Pro30, an instrument from the YSI Professional
Series product family. The Pro30 measures conductivity and temperature in
water. The Pro30 features an impact resistant and waterproof (IP-67) case, a
rugged MS-8 (military-spec) cable connector, backlit display, user-selectable
sensor options, 50 data set memory, internal barometer and a rubber over-mold
case.
The Pro30 provides valuable instructions and prompts near the bottom of the
display that will guide you through operation and use. However, reading the
entire manual is recommended for a better understanding of the instrument’s
features.
The Pro30 cannot communicate to a PC via a Pro Series communications
i
saddle. Connecting the Pro30 to a communication saddle may cause
erratic instrument behavior.
GETTING STARTED
INITIAL INSPECTION
Carefully unpack the instrument and accessories and inspect for damage.
Compare received parts with items on the packing list. If any parts or materials
are damaged or missing, contact YSI Customer Service at 800-897-4151 (+1 937
767-7241) or the authorized YSI distributor from whom the instrument was
purchased.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The instrument requires 2 alkaline C-cell batteries. Under normal conditions,
the average battery life is 425 hours at room temperature without using the back
light. A battery symbol will blink in the lower, left corner of the display
to indicate low batteries when approximately 1 hour of battery life remains.
To install or replace the batteries:
Turn the instrument off and flip over to view the battery cover on the 1.
back.
Unscrew the four captive battery cover screws. 2.
Remove the battery cover and remove the old batteries if necessary. 3.
Install the new batteries, ensuring correct polarity alignment (figure 4.
1).

Place the battery cover on the back of the instrument and tighten the 5.
four screws. Do not over-tighten.
Figure 1. Pro30 with battery cover removed. Notice
battery symbols indicating polarities.
The waterproof instrument case is sealed at the factory and is not to
be opened, except by authorized service technicians. Do not attempt to
separate the two halves of the instrument case as this may damage the
instrument, break the waterproof seal, and will void the warranty.

The conductivity and temperature sensors are integral to the cable assembly;
therefore, they cannot be removed from the cable.
To connect the cable, align the keys on the cable connector to the slots on the
instrument connector. Push together firmly and then twist the outer ring until it
locks into place (figure 3). This connection is water-proof.
