  • Long-life lithium-ion battery; ensures reliability and minimizes waste
  • 3 year instrument warranty; 2 year cable warranty (sensor warranties vary)

Overview
The YSI Pro Digital Sampling System (ProDSS) is a revolutionary handheld instrument for water quality spot sampling and profiling in the most demanding field conditions. The ProDSS is the most advanced handheld instrument available and can measure a wide range of parameters.

Digital Sampling System - Smart and Easy-to-Use
Any sensor (not included with meter purchase) can be installed in any of the 4 sensor ports, allowing for measurement of any combination of parameters. The ProDSS handheld features a menu-driven user interface and an onboard help key/function.

Advanced Features and Durable Design
The ProDSS features a graphic, backlit color display and a backlit keypad for visibility and easy menu navigation in all lighting conditions. The YSI ProDSS utilizes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack.

Customizable
The ProDSS handheld cable (cable management kit included with 10, 20, and 30-meter cables) and sensors are sold separately to provide many options when “building” a ProDSS system. The handheld features optional built-in GPS capability, while the cables (up to 100 meters) have an optional depth sensor. GPS coordinates can be stored with measurement data for geo-mapping in the provided PC data management software, KorDSS.

Download Data to PC or Transfer to USB Stick
The ProDSS features a built-in micro USB On-The-Go port for connection to a PC or USB stick. KorDSS software, a powerful PC data management program for the ProDSS, is included with each instrument. The ProDSS internal memory allows for logging > 100,000 data sets, plus 100 sites, 100 Data IDs and 400 GLP records.

Additional Features:

  • Single cable design features universal ports which can accept any 4 sensors (not included with purchase) plus depth.
  • The menu-driven instrument allows for easy operation and quick calibration
  • >100,000 data-set memory; KorDSS PC data software included
  • GLP compliant; detailed GLP information is available to view, download or print.

Questions & Answers
What is the battery life of the ProDSS?
The ProDSS uses a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack that lasts 48 hours with the instrument alone and about 20 hours with the instrument and fully loaded cable assembly.
How does the ProDSS compare to the ProQuatro in terms of parameters?
The ProDSS, like the ProQuatro, is a multi-parameter meter. The advantage of the ProDSS is that it can measure turbidity and optical dissolved oxygen, whereas the ProQuatro does not support turbidity and uses electrochemical dissolved oxygen. The ProDSS also has optional depth and GPS.
What is a “Smart” Sensor?
The “Smart” Sensor holds the calibration in the sensor, so it can be moved from meter to meter without needing to recalibrate.
Does the YSI ProDSS arrive calibrated?
When ordered from Fondriest Environmental, all YSI sampling equipment is assembled and calibrated prior to shipment at no cost and includes a calibration report.
What software is available for the YSI ProDSS?
The ProDSS includes a USB memory stick containing Kor Software and PDF manual. Kor Software is an easy-to-use platform full of features for managing YSI instrumentation and water quality data. View live or recorded data, calibrate sensors, setup long-term deployments, and ensure equipment is operating at peak performance.
Do probes come with the ProDSS handheld meter?
No, cable assemblies and sensors are sold separately. See the Accessories drop-down for a full list of available ProDSS cable assemblies, sensors, and accessories.
Can the ProDSS meter accommodate the ProSwap 1-port cable assemblies?
Yes. Connect the ProSwap cable to a ProSwap or ProDSS handheld meter via the twist-lock MS connector.
Can multiple cable lengths be used with the ProDSS?
While multiple cable lengths can be used on the ProDSS, the user must keep in mind that the sensor bulkhead is not removable from the cable; therefore, the sensors will also need to be moved over to the new cable assembly when making this change. A re-calibration is not needed since the calibrations are stored in each individual sensor.
What is the purpose of the optional GPS on the ProDSS meter?
The integrated GPS allows the latitude and longitude to be displayed and logged with the water quality readings for geo-referenced data. The GPS can also be turned off when not in use to save on battery life.
What is the warranty on the ProDSS and what is the process to obtain warranty service?
The warranty period varies - 3-year instrument; 2-year bulkhead, cable assembly, and sensors; 1-year pH and pH/ORP sensor modules, ODO (optical DO) sensor caps, and Li-Ion battery pack; 6-months ammonium, nitrate, and chloride sensor modules. If warranty or non-warranty repairs are needed, customers can fill out our Service Request Form and ship it in for a no-cost evaluation.
What measures can be taken to ensure high quality data collection with the YSI ProDSS meter?
The ProDSS stores the calibration record in a GLP (good laboratory practice) found in the File menu. It is good practice to perform pre- and post-calibration checks, using the YSI 5580 Confidence Solution or aerated tap water. Additionally, follow all recommended maintenance including probe cleaning and storage.
