PREPARING FOR SAMPLING: 

 
1.

 

Turn on the meter by pushing the power 

key

.  (To turn off the meter, hold down 

the power key for 1.5 seconds.)  If the meter 
does not turn on, inform the team leader and 
see the “Settings and Troubleshooting” 
section under “Battery Troubleshooting”. 

2.

 

The main display, or “Run” screen, will 
appear.  Take note of the battery charge at 
the top right, displayed as a percentage. If 
the charge is low, inform your team leader. 

Charging the Internal Li-Ion Battery Pack 

Use YSI designated charging equipment only! 
  If the battery is not charged, the meter must be 
charged from the AC power adapter 

(strongest 

charge source)

, directly from a computer USB 

connection, or from an external, portable USB 
battery pack.  When using the AC adapter, turn 
the unit on first so it recognizes the AC adapter. 
Once the charging signal appears on the screen, 
it can be turned off.  It takes approximately 14 
hours to charge the ProDSS battery with the unit 
turned off.  For maximum battery life, if practical, 
don’t charge until the battery is ≤40%, and bring 
the battery back up to ≥80%. 
  Expected battery life: 
•  20 hours at 25% (default) LCD brightness 
•  14 hours at 100% LCD brightness 

Study the main “Run” screen.  Confirm the 
following: 

 

The battery charge is >10%.  If not, inform 
your team leader. 

 

The date and time are correct: 
The date and time should be displayed at 
the top of the screen; if not, refer to the 
“Settings and Troubleshooting” section 
under “Date/Time”. 

 

Logging is correct: 
At the top of the screen in the green bar, 
it should read “Log One Sample”; if not, 
refer to the “Settings and 
Troubleshooting” section under “Logging 
Data”. 

 

Individual parameter units are correct: 
temperature - °C 
barometric pressure – inHg 
dissolved oxygen concentration –DO mg/L 
specific conductivity (at 25 °C)–SPC µS/cm 
salinity – SAL ppt 
pH 
turbidity – FNU 

 

If any parameters shown above are not 
displayed or do not match the units on the 
Run screen (see photo below), notify your 
team leader and refer to the “Settings and 
Troubleshooting” section under “Sensor 
Display Details”.
