INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the EcoSense ODO200/ODO200M, a precise
handheld instrument that measures temperature and dissolved oxygen
in % and mg/L.The EcoSense ODO200/ODO200M measures dissolved
oxygen in water using optical, lifetime luminescence technology and
uses a digital signal to send information between the instrument and
probe. Key advantages of the EcoSense ODO200/ODO200M include
the elimination of sensor flow dependence (stirring) and sensor warm-
up time, greater stability, less frequent calibrations, and the elimination
of frequent membrane/electrolyte changes. This instrument uses one
9V battery.
Key differences between the YSI ODO200 and ODO200M include:
• ODO200 can store 50 data sets, while the ODO200M can store
250 data sets.
• A real-time clock is included on the ODO200M for date/time stamp
of saved data.
• The ODO200M features a waterproof USB port with cover that will
allow customers to download stored measurement data to a PC.
• A recal prompt on the ODO200M allows users to select a
recalibration interval.
For additional product specification information, please visit ysi.com

INITIAL INSPECTION
Carefully unpack the instrument and accessories and inspect for
damage. Compare received parts with items on the packing list. If any
parts are damaged or missing, contact YSI Customer Service at 800-
897-4151 ([phone]) or the authorized YSI distributor where
the instrument was purchased.
PRECAUTIONS
THE PROBE
Sensor caps last longer if stored in a moist environment and kept clean
and free of scratches in the paint layer. Erratic readings can result from
damaged or dirty caps. If unstable readings occur from large scratches
in the paint or dye layer, replace the sensor cap. See the Maintenance
and Troubleshooting section of this manual for information on how to
clean or replace the sensor cap. The average sensor cap replacement
interval is 12 to 18 months, although they may last longer.
Avoid substances that may damage probe materials such as
concentrated acid, caustics and strong solvents. Probe materials
include urethane (cable), Xenoy (probe body), acrylic (sensor cap) and
acetal and stainless steel (probe guard).
To prevent the sensor cap from drying out, store the probe in the gray
calibration/storage sleeve with a moistened, clean sponge. In the event
the sensor cap dries out, rehydrate it following the instructions in the
Maintenance and Troubleshooting section of this manual.
INITIAL SETUP
Throughout the manual, the term “probe” refers to the end of the cable
where the sensor is located, the term “sensor” refers to the Optical
Dissolved Oxygen sensing portion of the cable/probe assembly, and
the term “sensor cap” refers to the removable sensing cap that is
replaced about once per year (Figure 1).

PREPARING THE PROBE
Each sensor cap has unique calibration coefficients associated with it.
These coefficients are labeled on the instruction sheet included with
each EcoSense cable/probe assembly and replacement sensor cap.
Remove the probe/cable assembly from the shipping container and
locate the sensor cap instruction sheet. Be sure to save the instruction
sheet in case you need to reload these calibration coefficients.
New probe/cable assemblies have the sensor cap installed and
coefficients loaded into the probe at the factory. When a cable is
installed, the coefficients are automatically sent to the instrument.
Preparing the probe for the first time:
1. Remove the probe guard from the probe by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Remove the red storage cap which contains a moist sponge from
the end of the probe by pulling it straight off the sensor. Save this
to use later for long term storage.
3. Reinstall the probe guard by sliding it carefully over the sensor and
then threading it onto the cable/probe assembly with a clockwise
rotation (Figure 2).
4. Locate the gray calibration/storage sleeve that was shipped with
your probe/cable assembly. Moisten the sponge in the gray
calibration/storage with a small amount of clean water.
5. Slide the calibration/storage sleeve over the probe guard to keep
the probe in a moist environment for storage and calibration
(Figure 3). It is important to always keep your sensor in a moist
environment so the sensor cap does not dry out.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
To install (or replace) the battery, remove
the two battery cover screws and battery
cover. Replace the 9V battery. Replace the
battery cover and o-ring (be sure to align
the o-ring correctly to prevent a bad seal)
and fasten the two battery cover screws.
An initial display of “LOW BAT” on the
LCD indicates approximately one hour of
battery life for unit operation within specifications. Replace battery
when “LOW BAT” appears on the LCD.
Battery Disposal
This instrument is powered by a 9 volt battery, which the user must
remove and dispose of when the battery no longer powers the
instrument. Disposal requirements vary by country and region, and
users are expected to understand and follow the battery disposal
requirements for their specific locale.

CALIBRATION
TEMPERATURE
All cables have a built-in thermistor. Temperature calibration is not
available or required. To verify the temperature sensor, compare it to
a NIST traceable thermistor by touching the thermistors together and
observing the measurements.
DISSOLVED OXYGEN
The sensor is an optical luminescent sensor which has greater
stability and is less susceptible to calibration drift than traditional
606335REF-C-YSI-ODO200-ODO200M-User-Manual-English.indd 9 12/8/2017 8:37:11 AM

10
electrochemical sensors. This increased stability means the instrument
can hold its calibration for many months; however, calibration should
be verified regularly for highest data accuracy.
To verify the instrument’s calibration, place the sensor in its calibration
environment and check to see that the DO% is reading its calibration
value based on the barometric pressure. Refer to Appendix A for the
DO% calibration values based on barometric pressure.
Calibration Requirements:
• The approximate true barometric pressure in millbars (mBar) of the
location at the time of calibration.
True Barometric Pressure (mmHg) =
[Corrected BP mmHg] – [2.5 * (Local Altitude in ft. above sea level/100)]
mBar = mmHg *1.333
• The approximate salinity of the water to be analyzed. Fresh
water’s salinity value is approximate zero parts per thousand (ppt).
Seawater has an approximate salinity of 35 ppt.
1. Moisten the sponge in the gray storage sleeve with a small
amount of clean water. The moistened sponge creates a 100%
water-saturated air environment for the probe, which is ideal for
calibration, transport, and storage of the probe.
2. Make sure there are no water droplets on the sensor cap or
temperature sensor and then install the storage sleeve over the
guarded probe. Make sure the DO and temperature sensors are
not touching the sponge or immersed in water. Turn the instrument
on and wait approximately 5 to 10 minutes for the storage sleeve
to become completely saturated and to allow the temperature and
dissolved oxygen sensors to stabilize.
3. Press CAL.
4. The display prompts for the local, true barometric pressure in
mBar (millibars). Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to increase or
decrease the barometric pressure value, then press Enter.
5. The display will show the current dissolved oxygen measurement
on the main display and the calibration value in the lower right
corner. Wait for the DO measurement to stabilize, then press Enter.
6. The display prompts for the approximate salinity of the water
to be analyzed. Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to increase or
decrease the salinity compensation value to the salinity value of
your sample (between 0 to 40 parts per thousand [ppt]). When the
correct salinity displays, press Enter.
7. The unit holds calibration for several months, even when powered
off and on.

MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
SENSOR MAINTENANCE - DISSOLVED OXYGEN
CLEANING THE SENSOR CAP
The Sensor Cap should be kept clean since some types of fouling can
consume or produce oxygen or block the water sample from reaching
the sensor which could affect the dissolved oxygen measurements.
To clean the Sensor Cap, gently wipe away any fouling with a lens
cleaning tissue that has been moistened with water. Do not use organic
solvents to clean the Sensor Cap. Using an organic solvent to clean the
Sensor Cap may cause permanent damage to the cap. For example,
alcohol will dissolve the outer paint layer and other organic solvents
will likely dissolve the dye in the cap. Dissolving or scratching the paint
or dye layer will cause erratic dissolved oxygen measurements.
To disinfect the probe, soak the probe in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 15
to 30 minutes and then rinse it with clean water.
SENSOR CAP REPLACEMENT
The sensor cap should be replaced about once per year but may last
longer. It should also be replaced if it is cracked or damaged (see
Troubleshooting section for instructions on how to inspect the cap for
damage). The instruction sheet shipped with the replacement ODO
sensor cap includes the calibration coefficients specific to your sensor
cap.

The replacement ODO sensor cap is shipped in a humidified container.
The package should not be opened until ready for use. Once the sensor
cap has been installed on the sensor as described below, it is important
to keep the sensor in a 100% humid environment. Therefore, the
sensor should be stored in either the gray calibration/storage sleeve
with a moistened sponge or immersed in water, see Sensor Storage
for more information. If the sensor dries out, refer to the Rehydration
procedure in this manual.
Refer to Figure 7 below when following the instructions for replacing
the cap.
Figure 7
Caution: Avoid touching the sensing end of the sensor cap during the
following maintenance procedures.
1. Remove the old sensor cap assembly from the sensor by grasping
the probe body with one hand and then rotating the sensor cap
counterclockwise until it is completely free. Do not use any tools
for this procedure.
2. Inspect the o-ring on the probe for damage.If there is any indication
of damage, carefully remove the o-ring and replace it with the new
o-ring included with the replacement sensor cap. Do not use any
tools to remove the o-ring.
3. Ensure that the o-ring installed on the probe is clean. If necessary,
wipe clean with a lint free cloth or replace the o-ring as described
in the previous step.
4. Locate the o-ring lubricant included with the new sensor cap.
Apply a thin coat of o-ring lubricant to the installed o-ring. Remove
any excess o-ring lubricant from the o-ring and/or probe with a
lens cleaning tissue.
5. Remove the new sensor cap from its hydrated container and dry
the inside cavity of the sensor cap with lens cleaning tissue. Next,

clean the clear surface of the sensor on the end of the probe with
lens cleaning tissue.
6. Using clockwise motion, thread the new sensor cap onto the probe
assembly until it is finger-tight. The o-ring should be compressed
between the sensor cap and probe. Do not over-tighten the sensor
cap and do not use any tools for the installation process.
7. After installing the new sensor cap, store the sensor in the gray
calibration/storage sleeve with a moistened sponge.
8. Follow the procedures below for entering in the new sensor cap’s
coefficients into the EcoSense ODO200/ODO200M instrument.
ENTERING SENSOR CAP COEFFICIENTS INTO THE ECOSENSE
ODO200/ODO200M
After installing a new sensor cap, connect the probe/cable assembly to
the instrument and turn the instrument on. Locate the Calibration Code
Label at the top of the instruction sheet and note the six numbers which
are listed as K1 through K5 and KC. These six numbers contain the
calibration code for this particular sensor cap. Follow these instructions
to enter the new calibration coefficients into your instrument:
1. Press and hold the CAP key for 3 seconds. The CAP key is located
in the lower left corner of the keypad.
2. The instrument will prompt for K1 and show 8 alpha/numeric
values with the first value blinking.
3. Use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the first value to match
the first value of the new cap’s K1. Press the Enter key to accept.
4. Continue using the up and down arrow keys to adjust all 8 alpha/
numeric values for K1 pressing the Enter key to confirm each entry.
5. After confirming the last value for K1, the instrument will prompt
you for K2. Follow the instructions in step 3 and 4 to enter and
confirm the value for K2. Continue with K3, K4 and K5.
6. After confirming K5, the EcoSense ODO200/ODO200M will
prompt you for KC. KC has two values. Follow the instructions in
step 3 and 4 to enter the coefficients. After confirming KC, the
instrument will return to the measurement screen.
7. After entering the Sensor Cap Coefficients, perform a 1-point
calibration as described in the Calibration Section.
8. Press and hold the CAP key for 3 seconds at any time to exit and
cancel the cap coefficient update.
If errors are made in entering the Sensor Cap Coefficients, the
instrument will block the update and an error message will appear
on the display and the instrument will return to the K1 entry screen. If
