YSI 3200 - Manual (Page 14)

Getting Started Section 2
5. Measurement
After setting up the 3200 instrument and cell as described above, the following basic steps should
be used to make measurements.
1. Immerse the cell (YSI 3200 series) in the solution to be measured. If using a YSI 3400
series cell, also place the temperature probe in the solution.
2. Gently tap the cell to remove any air bubbles and dip the cell in the solution 2 or 3 times
to ensure proper wetting. The cell electrodes must be submerged and the electrode
chamber must not contain any trapped air. If using a flow through or fill cell, be certain it
is completely full.
3. Allow time for the temperature to stabilize.
4. Read the display, send the reading to a computer or serial printer (see section 4.3 Send),
or store the reading in memory (see section 4.1 Store).
5. Remove the cell (and temperature probe, if used) from the sample solution and rinse with
distilled or deionized water.
