2.4 TURNING THE INSTRUMENT ON
Turn the instrument on by pressing and releasing the ON/OFF button on the front of the
instrument. The instrument will activate all segments of the display for a few seconds, which will
be followed by a self test procedure that will last for several more seconds. During this power on
self test sequence, the instrument’s microprocessor is verifying that the instrument is working. If the
instrument were to detect a problem, a continuous error message would be displayed. See Section
6, Troubleshooting for error messages. If the instrument does not operate, consult Section 6,
Troubleshooting.
Because the probe has not yet been prepared, the data displayed on the screen is not accurate.
You may also want to take the instrument into a dark room and, with the instrument turned ON,
press the LIGHT key. The light key is at the top right of the keypad. The instrument back-light
should illuminate the LCD so that the display can be easily read. Pushing the LIGHT key again
will turn the back light off. The light will power off automatically after two minutes of non-use.
2.5 CHANGING THE TEMPERATURE UNITS
The YSI 550 DO Instrument can display the temperature units in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. To
change the units that are displayed, turn the instrument on. Pressing both the down arrow key and
the mode key at the same time will switch the units between C or F.
2.6 CALIBRATION/STORAGE CHAMBER
The YSI 550 DO Instrument has a convenient calibration/storage chamber that can be attached to
the instrument’s back. See Figure 3. The calibration chamber can be used from either side of the
instrument, by moving the rubber stopper to either end. This chamber provides an ideal storage area
for the probe during transport and extended non-use. If you look into the chamber, you should
notice a small round sponge in the bottom. Carefully put 3 to 6 drops of clean water into the sponge.
Turn the instrument over and allow any excess water to drain out of the chamber. The wet sponge
creates a 100% water saturated air environment for the probe that is ideal for dissolved oxygen
calibration.
