time. The YSI 600 Sonde attaches to the Rain Gauge connector
on the 4210. Note that this connector must be a special, modified
connector with nine pins.
Note
4210 Flow Meters with 4-pin Rain Gauge connectors cannot
support the YSI 600. It is necessary to return the flow meter to
the factory for modifications if you wish to use a YSI 600
Sonde. In addition to the connector, significant internal modifi-
cations to the flow meter’s electronics and software are
required.
You can use both the YSI Sonde and a Rain Gauge on flow meters
that support the YSI with a special Y-connect cable. Note that
the YSI 600 Sonde differs from the previously-mentioned pH and
D.O. probes. The YSI 600 can measure pH and D.O. at the same
time, as well as temperature and conductivity.
If you are not using the YSI 600 sonde, select NO in the following
display and the flow meter will advance to the next step. Oth-
erwise, select YES.
• If you select NO, you will be unable to activate the YSI
Sonde later in the program.
If no communication has been confirmed, the following display
will appear:
NO is the default. If you select YES, the following display will
appear:
CAUTION
The reason you should not disconnect either the sonde or flow
meter power during a communications check is that the mem-
ory in the sonde can be damaged by a power failure during an
update.
If the communication check is bad, the following display will
appear:
