NTRODUCTION

The YSI Model 5905/5010 BOD (Biochemical Oxygen
Demand) probe is used for measuring dissolved oxygen in all
popular size BOD bottles. This probe features self stirring, an
easily replaced membrane cap, and a refurbishable electrode
system.

The 5905 probe is designed for use with all YSI dissolved
oxygen meters, except for the Model 55 or Model 95. It must
be used with an adapter (5011) in order to be used on the
Model 5000 and 5100.

The 5010 probe is specifically designed for use with the Model
5000 and 5100 only.

This manual also applies to probes 5905-J, 5905-K, 5905-L,
5905-W (Appendix A), and probes 5010-J, 5010-K, 5010-L,
and 5010-W (Appendix A)

IMPORTANT

Intended Use

The 5905/5010 probe is intended for laboratory use, not field
use. It is not waterproof and should never be immersed past
the taper on the stem of the probe.
