YSI 6000UPG - Manual (Page 6)

1-2
The RS-232C and SDI-12 interfaces provide maximum versatility for system networking and real
time data collection. Several 6000
UPG units are easily installed in a vertical string providing
valuable water quality data at a variety of depths. For real time results, the 6000 UPG can interface to
radio telemetry systems and satellite, telephone, or cellular phone data collection platforms. In
addition, the unit can be used with our 610-D or 610-DM display/logger for profiling or spot
sampling applications. The 6000
UPG is equipped with sensor and communication circuitry to
eliminate ground loop interference.
When the 6000 UPG is factory configured for internal power, it operates using eight C-size alkaline
batteries. These batteries are easily replaced in the field, without disassembly of the unit. The
minimal power requirements of the Rapid Pulse Dissolved Oxygen Sensor combined with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits and software can provide up to 90 days of battery life during
normal use, depending on the activated sensor configuration.
The 6000
UPG
comes standard with 256 kilobytes of memory; this is enough to store 150,000
individual parameter readings for a typical deployment.
Optional cables are available for interfacing the 6000 UPG with a computer, terminal, or
display/logger. These cables are waterproof at the sonde connection and can be used in the lab or
field.
