Battery Use and Battery Life
Charging the Battery Pack
ProSeries Digital handhelds use a rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery pack as a power source. The battery comes
pre-installed in the handheld and ships at less than 50% full capacity. Battery life depends on use, enabled parameters,
LCD brightness, and GPS use.
A new battery, that has been fully charged, is expected to last for the following durations at 25°C, with Sampling set to
Auto, Backlight set to Auto, and GPS enabled:
• ProDIGITAL handheld only - 48 hours
• ProDSS with fully loaded 4-port cable assembly and 25% LCD brightness - 20 hours
To increase battery life, enable manual sampling mode (Sampling). Manual sampling mode powers the sensor(s) on to
take a measurement and then powers down to conserve battery life.
As with all lithium-ion batteires, battery life will decline over time and use. This decay should be expected. For the long-
term health of the battery, a larger discharge is better than a small dishcarge between recharges.
A USB cable is included with the handheld to charge the
instrument battery pack and connect the instrument to a PC.
The battery pack can be charged from the AC power adapter,
directly from a computer USB connection or from an external,
portable USB battery pack (sold separately, see Accessories).
Plug the USB connector into the AC power adapter, computer
USB connector or external USB battery pack, then plug the
micro USB connector into the handheld (Figure 1).
A
WARNING: Charge the battery pack in an open area away from flammable materials, liquids, and surfaces.
Do not charge or handle a battery pack that is hot to the touch. Failure to follow the safety
warnings and precautions can result in personal injury and/or instrument damage not
covered under warranty. Read Rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack safety warnings and
precautions.
For the handheld to recognize that it is using AC power, you must start charging the handheld while it is turned on.
After the instrument recognizes it is being charged, it can be turned off to finish charging.

Introduction
1. Remove the battery pack cover by unscrewing (counter-clockwise) the four screws with a flat or Phillips head
screwdriver (Figure 2). The retaining screws are captured into the battery pack cover and are not removable.
2. If replacing an existing battery pack, remove the Li-Ion battery pack and rubber battery pack cradle. With two
fingers, grasp the battery pack connector and pull the connector straight up to disconnect and remove. Properly
dispose of the old battery pack (See Battery Disposal).
3. Inspect the replacement battery pack and battery pack cradle for damage. Contact YSI technical support if there
is any damage.
4. Correctly align and seat the battery pack cradle and battery pack into the instrument.
5. Align the battery pack connector wire terminals with the three instrument pins, then connect the battery pack
to the instrument. Make sure that the three wire terminal connectors and three instrument pins are correctly
aligned before connecting the battery pack connector. Incorrect installation can damage the battery pack con-
nectors or instrument pins.
6. Install the battery pack cover, then hand tighten the cover screws with a screwdriver. DO NOT use any power
tools. Make sure that the cover sealing surface is correctly aligned and free of any contamination or damage.
NOTICE: The battery cover does NOT need to make a compressed seal. Overtightening the cover screws can
damage the battery cover and the handheld.

6Introduction
The cable connectors are keyed for positive mating and to prevent connector damage (Figure 3). The handheld retains
its IP-67 waterproof rating when the cable is disconnected. However, the connectors are not wet-mateable and should
be clean and dry before connecting.
Align the keys on the cable connector with the slots on the handheld connector. Push together firmly, then twist the
outer ring clockwise until it locks into place.

Introduction
1.5 Sensor Installation/Removal
Probe assemblies like the ODO/CT, ODO/T, and ProOBOD feature integral sensors. These sensors cannot be removed
from the cable. Therefore, this section pertains only to the ProDSS 4-port cable.
ProDSS 4-port Cable
ProDSS 4-port cables feature user-replaceable sensors. The ports on the bulkhead are universal, meaning that you can
install any sensor into any port. A conductivity/temperature sensor must be installed for accurate measurement of all
parameters except turbidity and TSS.
Bulkhead ports are numbered (Figure 4), so if multiple sensors of the same type are installed, the port number will be
added to the Run screen display to clarify the measurement value of each sensor.
NOTICE: The bulkhead ports and sensor connectors are not wet-mateable. Make sure that the sensor
connectors and bulkhead ports are clean and dry before sensor installation.
Sensor Installation
1. Remove the port cover shipped with the 4-port cable. This cover can be kept to protect the bulkhead ports from
contamination during long-term storage.
2. Inspect each bulkhead port for contamination. If the port is dirty or wet, clean it with compressed air.
3. Apply a thin coat of o-ring lubricant to the sensor o-rings. Wipe off excess o-ring grease with a lint-free cloth.
4. Carefully align the sensor and bulkhead connectors by inserting the sensor into the port then gently rotating the
sensor until the connectors align. Once aligned, push the sensor toward the bulkhead until the sensor seats in
the port.

5. Carefully finger-tighten the retaining nut clockwise. If any resistance is felt, loosen the retaining nut completely
to prevent cross-threading.
6. Use the sensor installation/removal tool to tighten the retaining nut clockwise until snug, about a ¼ to ½
additional turn of the retaining nut. Be careful not to over-tighten the retaining nut.
NOTICE: Incorrect installation or over-tightening can cause damage to the sensor or bulkhead that is not
covered by the warranty.
Sensor Removal
To remove a sensor, insert the sensor installation/removal tool into the retaining nut, then rotate the retaining nut
counterclockwise to loosen. After the retaining nut has been completely unscrewed from the bulkhead, pull the sensor
straight out of the port and place it on a clean surface. Install a port plug if not reinstalling a sensor in the exposed port.
Exposure to water can cause damage or corrosion to the bulkhead connectors not covered by the warranty.
NOTICE: Do not submerge the bulkhead without a
sensor or port plug installed in all ports.
Installation
1. Apply a thin coat of o-ring lubricant to the o-rings
on the plug port.
2. Remove any excess lubricant from the o-rings and
port plug with a lint-free cloth.
3. Insert the port plug into the empty port and press
until firmly seated.
4. Finger-tighten the port plug clockwise to install. If
necessary, use the sensor installation tool to make
sure that the plug is fully seated into the port. The
o-rings will not be visible if a port plug is correctly
installed. Do not over-tighten the port plug.
Figure 5 Sensor port plugs and port
numbering (4-port cables)
Port plugs
Port plugs and a tube of o-ring lubricant are included in the
maintenance kit that ships with all 4-port cables.
Sensor Guard and Weight Installation
1. Carefully slide the sensor guard over the bulkhead and attached sensors/port plugs. Push the sensor guard
toward the bulkhead until the sensor guard threads align with the bulkhead threads.
2. Carefully hand-tighten the sensor guard clockwise. If any resistance is felt, loosen the sensor guard completely
to prevent cross-threading. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the sensor guard or bulkhead that is not
covered by the warranty.

Introduction
Sensor Guard and Weight Installation (continued)
Figure 6 Sensor guard and weight
installation on a 4-port cable assembly
Sensor Guard Weights
To help stabilize the sensors when profiling at deeper depths, a 1 lb. sensor guard weight is supplied with 4-port
assemblies 10 meters and longer. To attach the weight, carefully hand-tighten it clockwise on to the bottom of the
sensor guard (Figure 6). If any resistance is felt, loosen the sensor guard weight completely to prevent cross-threading.
The bottom of the weight is threaded so that additional weights can be added if needed. YSI recommends installing
no more than 5 lbs of weight on ProDIGITAL cables. See Accessories.
NOTE: Do not have any weights installed on the sensor guard when calibrating using the calibration cup.
