Product Spotlight: YSI Professional Series

The recent line of YSI Professional Series handheld instruments are designed specifically for water professionals, and they were developed based heavily on customer feedback

“The Professional Series is an important new line for YSI,” said YSI Environmental Product Manager Tim Grooms. “We now focus all of our efforts on developing products our customers tell us they want.”

The new field-rugged YSI Professional Plus handheld instrument is the flagship of the Pro Series and the most flexible. It provides measurement possibilities for a variety of water parameter combinations, including sensor options for dissolved oxygen, conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, resistivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, ORP, pH/ORP combination, ammonium, nitrate, chloride, and temperature.

It’s possible to use lab or field probes with the Pro Plus and quickly switch between the two. This instrument can function as a lab BOD instrument with a self-stirring BOD probe.

A variety of cable and probe options are available, and cable options include 1m, 4m, 10m, 20m, and 30m choices, and lengths up to 100m are possible for DO-only cables.

The Pro Plus instrument is rated to IP-67 standards even without the battery cover on. Other tough features include a three-year display warranty, Mil-spec connectors, rubber over molded case, and a two-year cable warranty. In-house testing procedures also include 1m drop tests from all angles to ensure expected field-durability.

The Pro Plus’ features include: password protection, backlit display and keypad, graphic display with detailed Help functionality, recal prompts, user defined fields, detailed GLP, auto stable, Hold All Readings function, Data Manager software for the desktop, USB connection, auto buffer recognition, and flexible folders and site lists for logging data. The included Data Manager Software allows users to download data, configure instruments, and conduct real-time studies.

In addition to the versatile Pro Plus, other meters in the series include the ProODO optical dissolved oxygen meter, Pro20 polarographic/galvanic dissolved oxygen meter, Pro2030 dissolved oxygen & conductivity meter.
