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.

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).

The Pro30 cannot communicate to a PC via a Pro Series communications

saddle. Connecting the Pro30 to a communication saddle may cause

erratic instrument behavior.
