2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Inspect the outside of the shipping carton(s) for damage. If damage is detected, contact the
carrier immediately. Remove the instrument from the shipping container. Be careful not to
discard any parts or supplies. Confirm that all items on the packing list are present. Inspect all
assemblies and components for damage. The basic 6200 DAS is shipped with the following
major components. Some differences may occur based on the configuration you ordered.
❑ Data Collection Platform with barometer, communication and power accessories installed
❑ Battery for powering remote station (packed separately)
❑ Meteorological Suite (WS, WD, RH, AT) with 4.6 m cable, or 13.7 m cable
❑ Pyranometer (3 m cable) or Pyranometer with CE approval (3 m cable)
❑ Rain Gauge, ISCO 674 (4.6 m cable) or Rain Gauge with heating element (4.6 m cable)
❑ Sonde with appropriate sensors, cables, adapters and reagents
❑ Antennas (if applicable)
❑ Radio Base Station (if applicable)
If you ordered a sonde with reagents, the reagents may be shipped separately. See Appendix D

If any parts are damaged or missing, contact your factory representative immediately. If you do
not know from which dealer your 6200 DAS was purchased, contact YSI/Massachusetts. See
phone/fax information below in the footer.
Save the original packing cartons and packing materials. Carriers typically require proof of
damage due to mishandling. Also, if it is necessary to return any parts, you should pack the
equipment in the same manner it was received. Maintaining original cartons and packing
material is less critical once the system is installed and working
If the 6200 DAS components match the packing list and the components appear to be in

The 6200 Data Acquisition System with EcoWatch DCP
ä is an integrated hardware and
software package. Most of the hardware will be installed in the field. We will refer to this as the
“field” location. The “base” location will refer to the site where the radio base station or modem
connects to the computer loaded with EcoWatch DCP. We strongly recommend that you
assemble the system “in-house” and functionally test it prior to beginning the field
