YSI 6500 Environmental Process

Monitor

The YSI 6500 monitor combined with the YSI 6-series multi pa-

rameter sondes is intended for use in water quality monitoring ap-

plications. The sondes are able to measure up to 15 different pa-

rameters. The sensors are all located in the submersible sonde that

also contains signal circuitry and communications circuitry that

transmit sensor readings via SDI-12 protocol to the 6500.

For installing the monitor more than 25’ and up to 250’ from the

sonde, use an optional YSI breakout box and patch cable with user-

supplied wire. For using the monitor with more than one sonde, use

the YSI # 6508 Junction Box. See Appendix D of the 6500 Opera-

tions Manual for installation details.
