Follow these instructions to prepare your new probe and install it in the Model 6000UPG.
NOTE: Instructions for preparation of use, maintenance and storage are included with each
electrode.
1. Note that the ammonium and nitrate probes consist of two
parts: A probe body and a membrane module which threads
into the end of the probe body.
2. Apply a very thin coat of O-ring lubricant (supplied in the
YSI 6040 Maintenance Kit) to the O-ring on membrane
module. Thread the membrane module into the end of the
probe body and tighten by hand until the units mesh
completely.
Do not over tighten and in no case ever use any tools such as pliers in this operation.
3.
Apply a very thin coat of O-ring lubricant (supplied in the YSI 6040 Maintenance Kit) to the
O-ring on the plastic shaft of the new electrode. Insert the electrode into the probe housing and hand
tighten.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
4.
Locate the plug which seals the port ISE-2 on the sonde. The ammonium
and nitrate sensors must be installed in this port.
Using the hex driver to assist you, remove the plug.
