INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the YSI Professional Optical Dissolved Oxygen (Pro
ODO) instrument. The YSI ProODO™ measures dissolved oxygen in water using
lifetime luminescence technology and uses a digital signal to send information
between the instrument and probe. Key advantages of the new ProODO include
the elimination of sensor flow dependence and sensor warm-up time, greater
stability, the ability to zero the sensor for more accurate measurements at low
dissolved oxygen levels, and the elimination of frequent membrane/electrolyte
changes. The ProODO also features a waterproof (IP-67) case, a rugged MS-8
cable connector, backlit display and keypad, user-selectable cable lengths, USB
connectivity, large memory with extensive site list capabilities, and a rugged,
rubber over-molded case. For product specification information, please visit
www.ysi.com or contact Technical Support at 800-897-4151 (+1 937 767-7241).
Reading the entire manual before use is recommended for an overall
understanding of the instrument’s features.
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 ProODO uses 2 alkaline C-cell batteries. Battery life depends on sampling
mode and usage. When used in Manual Sampling mode, under normal
conditions, battery life is approximately 80 hours at room temperature. The
use of Automatic Sampling mode may slightly reduce the battery life. See the
System section of this manual for more information on Sampling Modes.

polarities.

To install or replace the batteries:
Turn the instrument over to view the battery cover on the back. 1.
Unscrew the four captive battery cover screws. 2.
Remove the battery cover and install the new batteries, ensuring correct 3.
polarity alignment on the instrument or the removed cover (Figure 1).
Replace the battery cover on the back of the instrument and tighten the four 4.
screws. Do NOT over-tighten.

InItIal setup
Throughout the manual, the term “probe” refers to the end of the cable where
the sensor is located, the term “sensor” refers to the Optical Dissolved Oxygen
sensing portion of the cable/probe assembly, and the term “sensor cap” refers to
the removable sensing cap that is replaced about once per year (Figure 3).

UNPACKING THE ODO PROBE
Each ProODO cable/probe assembly and replacement ODO

information unique and specific to each individual sensing cap.
Reinstall the probe guard by sliding it carefully over the sensor and then 3.
threading it onto the cable/probe assembly with a clockwise rotation (Figure

cable assembly. Moisten the sponge in the grey calibration/storage with a
small amount of clean water.
Slide the calibration/storage sleeve over the probe guard to keep the probe 5.
in a moist atmosphere for storage or calibration (Figure 5). It is important
to always keep your sensor in a moist environment so the sensor cap does
not dry out. (See Care, Maintenance, and Storage for more information.)
Figure 4 Figure 5
CONNECTING THE PROBE/CABLE ASSEMBLY TO THE
INSTRUMENT
Remove the cable/probe assembly from the shipping container and locate
the instruction sheet included with your assembly. This instruction sheet is
important because it includes the calibration coefficients for your sensor cap.
After using this sheet for general probe setup, be sure to store it in a safe place in
case you need to reload these calibration coefficients in the unlikely event that
they are ever deleted from the probe.

are preloaded into the probe at the factory.
To connect the 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 6). This MS-8 (Military Spec) connection is waterproof.
Figure 6. Note the keyed connector. The cable and instrument
connectors can only be mated once the keyed sections are properly
aligned. When disconnected, the cable connector and the
connector on the instrument maintain an IP-67 rating.

Press and hold the Power key for two seconds to turn the instrument
on. The instrument will briefly display two splash screens then go directly
to the main run mode screen. The first time the instrument is powered
up, you will need to set the date and time. Follow the instructions under
the Setup | System | Date/Time section of this manual.
The display at the left shows the run mode
(main display) with temperature in °C,
barometric pressure in mmHg, DO in % and
mg/L as the reported parameters. The date,
time and battery level are indicated at the
bottom of the screen. The logging preference
of Log One Sample at a time is indicated at
the top of the screen.

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 instrument will overwrite the oldest record
i
Several calibration parameters are saved for each calibration 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.
In addition, there will be information specific to the Dissolved Oxygen or
Barometer calibration record. A Dissolved Oxygen calibration record will
contain the following calibration specific parameters:
DO
Sensor - Serial Number of the Sensor
Calibration Method - Zero, %, or mg/L
Cal Value
Sensor Value - Tangent of the angle between reference and signal LED, must be
within 0.2 of the default value in the sensor, typically between
-0.53 and -2.17
Salinity Mode - Always manual
Salinity Value - Value entered by the user
Barometer - Barometric Pressure during calibration
Temperature - Temperature during calibration
Calibrate Status - Calibrated
A Barometer calibration record will contain the following calibration specific
parameters:
Barometer
Barometer - Calibrate value in kPa
Calibrate Status - Calibrated
once 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.
