3.

   

Grasp the probe in your left hand (or right for left-
handers). When preparing the YSI 5739 probe, the 
pressure compensating vent should be to the right. 
(A left-handed operator may choose to reverse 
hands and vent direction.) Successively fill the 
sensor body with electrolyte, then pump the 
diaphragm with the eraser end of a pencil or with 
some similar soft, blunt tool. Continue filling and 
pumping until no more air bubbles appear. (With practice, you can hold the probe and pump 
the diaphragm with one hand while simultaneously pouring electrolyte into the sensor body 
with the other.)

Secure a membrane between your left thumb and 
the probe body.  Always handle the membrane 
with care, touching it only at the ends. 

 
5.

   

With the thumb and forefinger of your right 
hand, grasp the free end of the membrane.  With 
one continuous motion, gently stretch it up, over, 
and down the other side of the sensor.  The 
membrane should conform to the face of the 
sensor. 

 

6.

   

Secure the end of the membrane under the 
forefinger of your left hand. 

 

7.

   

Roll the O-ring over the end of the probe, being 
careful not to touch the membrane surface with 
your fingers.  There should be no wrinkles or 
trapped air bubbles.  Small wrinkles may be 
removed by lightly tugging on the edges of the 
membrane.  If bubbles are present, remove the 
membrane and repeat steps 3-8. 

 

8. 

Trim off any excess membrane with a sharp knife 
or scissors. Rinse off any excess KCl solution, 
but be careful not to get any water in the 
connector. 

 

9. 

Shake off excess electrolyte and reinstall the sensor guard. 

 

10. 

A plastic bottle without a bottom is provided with the YSI Field probes for convenient 
calibration and probe storage. Place a small piece of moist towel or sponge in the bottle and 
insert the probe into the open end. This ensures 100% humidity for accurate calibration and 
helps protect the probe against drying out in storage. The YSI 5905 and 5750 probes can be 
stored in a BOD bottle containing about 1” of water.
