New YSI water quality meters 'designed'
by Users
Launching the new YSI Professional Plus hand-held water quality monitors, YSI says that the range has been developed specifically in response to customer requests for versatility and field worthiness
The hand-held monitor is 'universal', which means that customers can buy exactly the probes and cables that they need However, the flexibility extends much further; a docking station enables USB PC connection which opens up a wealth of new features

The latest water quality, level and flow monitoring instruments will be on display at the YSI booth (US Pavilion 6, stand 584) at this year's Pollutec Exhibition in Lyon, France
Submersible spectrometer for water quality use
YSI Hydrodata introduces a new range of scanning submersible spectrometers to the UK water quality measurement market, particularly for measuring nitrate levels without the need for reagents
The instruments can be set up from the PC with easy-to-use 'Data Manager' software and this is particularly helpful for those with more than one meter; a single configuration can be created on the PC and simply loaded onto multiple meters.
Similarly, site names can be stored in the PC so that data is automatically appended to individual site files through a smart recognition system.
Importantly, all QC/config data is stored with the data.
The new instruments offer multiple options in the choice of probes, accessories and cable lengths (1m, 4m, 10m, 20m or 30m).
Sensor options include ammonium, chloride, conductivity, DO, nitrate, ORP, pH, lab BOD, barometric pressure, total dissolved solids, salinity and temperature.
Readings can be taken at set intervals, as a single event or with real-time logging to a memory with 2,000 data set capacity and GLP file output.
With regard to field-worthiness, the instruments are so rugged that YSI is offering a 3-year instrument warranty and a 2-year field cable warranty.
Whilst there are numerous applications for the Professional Plus instrument, there is particular interest in the surface water, aquaculture, groundwater, and wastewater markets, as a result of the extensive feature set of the product line.
According to YSI Regional Director, Darren Hanson, "The Professional Series is fantastic news for anyone involved with field or lab water quality measurements.
We have built many new features into these new and relatively inexpensive meters, and we are extremely grateful to those customers that provided invaluable feedback to make that possible".
