STANDARD PRO SERIES SENSOR INSTALLATION
Throughout the manual, the term “sensor” refers to the removable portion or
electrode sensing portion of the cable assembly. For example, the DO sensor or
pH sensor is the part that can be removed from a field cable and replaced with a
new sensor. The conductivity sensor is not removable from a non-Quatro cable
but still refers to the “sensing” portion and will be referred to as a sensor. This
section covers most of the sensor installations on a Professional Series cable
bulkhead including the following sensors:
2003 - Polarographic
DO (black)
2002 - Galvanic
DO (gray)
See the next section of this manual for installation instructions for the Quatro
cable’s Conductivity/Temperature sensor.
1001 - pH 1003 - pH/ORP 1005 - Chloride
1002 - ORP 1004 - Ammonium 1006 - Nitrate
**Cable 605790 will be referred to as a Quatro cable throughout this manual.
All cables come in standard lengths of 1, 4, 10, 20, and 30-meters (3.28, 13,
32.8, 65.6, and 98.4-feet) with options for special order lengths up to 100-meters
(328-feet) on the 60520-x cables. Contact YSI or your local representative for
additional information.
In addition there are several cable options with built in sensors for the
measurement of pH and ORP that are not considered field-rugged (nonreplaceable sensors, less rugged single-junction sensors). These cables are

If using a 605103 pH/ORP combination probe on a
6051020 or 6051030 cable you can report both pH
and ORP. However, it is recommended to set ISE1 as
pH and ISE2 as ORP in the Sensor Setup menu.
The Quatro cable bulkheads are labeled
1, 2, DO, and CT, see figure to the left. All
sensors except the Conductivity/Temperature
sensor can be installed following the Standard
Pro Series Sensor Installation instructions.
Conductivity/Temperature sensor installation
is described in the next section. For ease of
installation, YSI recommends that you install
a sensor into port 1 first; followed by DO
installation, then port 2, and lastly C/T.
First, ensure both the sensor connector and sensor port on the cable are
clean and dry. To connect the sensor, grasp the sensor with one hand and the
sensor connection end of the cable (bulkhead) in the other. Push the sensor
into the connector on the cable until it is properly seated and only one o-ring
is visible. Failure to properly seat the probe may result in damage. Twist the
sensor clockwise to engage threads and finger tighten (Figure 2). Do not use a
tool. This connection is waterproof. Please refer to the sensor installation sheet
that is included with each sensor for detailed instructions.

Figure 2. The image on the left shows a clean, dry sensor being
aligned with the bulkhead. On the right, the sensor has been
pushed into the bulkhead and is being screwed into place.
Figure 3. The sensor(s) will install directly
in the cable bulkhead. Once installed, the
sensor guard will protect the sensor during
sampling (DO cap membrane not shown).
Align the connectors of the new sensor and the port. With connectors 3.
aligned, push the sensor in towards the bulkhead until you feel the sensor
seat in its port. You will experience some resistance as you push the sensor
inward, this is normal
Once you feel the sensor seat into the port, gently rotate the stainless steel 4.
sensor nut clockwise with your fingers, Do not use the tool.
The nut must be screwed in by hand. If the nut is difficult to turn, STOP, as 5.
this may indicate cross threading. If you feel resistance or cross threading
at any point, unscrew the nut and try again until you are able to screw the
nut down completely without feeling any resistance. Damage to your cable/
sensor may occur if you force the parts together.
Once completely installed, the nut will seat flat against the bulkhead. At 6.
this point, use the tool that was included with the sensor to turn the nut an
additional ¼ to ½ turn so it cannot come loose (figure 4). DO NOT over
tighten.
Do not cross thread the sensor nut. Seat nut on

CONDUCTIVITY/TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION IN A
QUATRO CABLE
As mentioned, the installation of the Conductivity/Temperature sensor (model
5560) in a Quatro cable is different from all other Pro Series sensor installations.
Follow these instructions when installing a conductivity/temperature sensor in
a Quatro cable:
Locate the C/T port and, if replacing, remove the old sensor using the 1.
installation tool to loosen the stainless steel retaining nut. Once the stainless
steel retaining nut has been completely unscrewed from the bulkhead,
remove the old sensor from the bulkhead by pulling the sensor straight out
of the bulkhead.
Apply a thin coat of o-ring lubricant (supplied with the sensor) to the o-rings 2.
on the connector side of the new sensor.
i
Visually inspect the port for moisture. If moisture is found,
it must be completely dried prior to sensor installation.
Figure 4. Installation tool used to
tighten stainless steel retaining nut of
5560 conductivity/temperature sensor.
INSTALLING PORT PLUGS IN UNUSED PORTS
As necessary, install a port plug into any port that does not have an installed
sensor. This will protect the bulkhead from water damage. Port plugs and a
tube of o-ring lubricant are included with all Quatro cables. These items can be
ordered separately if needed. To install a port plug, apply a thin coat of o-ring
lubricant to the two o-rings on the port plug. After application, there should
be a thin coat of o-ring lubricant on the o-rings. Remove any excess o-ring
lubricant from the o-ring and/or port plug with a lens cleaning tissue. Next,
insert the plug into an empty port on the bulkhead and press firmly until seated.
Then, turn the plug clockwise to engage the threads and finger-tighten until the
plug is installed completely. Do not use a tool to tighten the plug.

CONNECTING THE CABLE TO AN INSTRUMENT
To connect a cable, align the keys on the cable connector to the slots on the
instrument connector. Push together firmly, then twist the outer ring until it
locks into place (figure 5). This connection is water-proof.
Keypad

Figure 5. Note the keyed connector. The cable and instrument
connectors can only be mated once the keys are properly aligned.
When a sensor is not installed, the sensor and cable sensor
connectors are NOT water-proof. Do not submerge the cable
without a sensor or port plug installed in all available ports.
i
When the cable is disconnected, the cable’s instrument connector
and the connector on the instrument maintain an IP-67 rating.
SENSOR STORAGE
The cable assembly is supplied with a storage container, or sleeve, that installs
on to the cable. The container is used for short-term storage (less than 30 days).
Be sure to keep a small amount of moisture (tap water) in the container during
storage. This is done to maintain a 100% saturated air environment which is
ideal for short-term sensor storage (see Care, Maintenance, and Storage for more
detailed information). Do not submerge the sensors in an aqueous solution.
The intent is to create a humid air storage environment.

Glp
The GLP or ‘Good Laboratory Practice’ file saves detailed information
about calibrations. It also includes diagnostic information about the sensors.
Calibrations are logged into a file, the GLP, for later review as needed. A single
GLP file is utilized to store all calibration records and is capable of storing 500
records. Once the GLP file is full, the instrument will begin to overwrite the
oldest record with each new calibration record.
In order to keep all of your GLP records, periodically download
the GLP to Data Manager and export it to another program.
Otherwise, the unit will overwrite the oldest record once
i
Several calibration parameters are saved for each calibration record including
optional ones that can be enabled by the user. Standard parameters include
date/time stamp, calibration method, and sensor information. Optional, user
selectable parameters include User ID, Probe ID, and User Fields 1 and 2.
The sensor specific information that is saved with each calibration point is
different for each sensor. The sensor specific values saved are:
the memory is full. Also, since Data Manager saves GLP
files under the Unit ID, you must periodically export and
rename the GLP file on your PC or it will be overwritten
each time you upload the GLP file from the instrument.
