Introduction
1.1 ProSwap Logger Overview
The ProSwap Logger is a multiparameter instrument that collects water quality data. The sonde collects the data with a single user-
replaceable sensor, plus an integral temperature sensor and pressure transducer. Each sensor measures its parameter via a variety
of electrochemical, optical, or physical detection methods. The 1-port bulkhead accepts any ProDSS sensor and automatically
recognizes its type. Depending upon user-defined settings, the ProSwap Logger will collect data and store it onboard the sonde,
transfer the data to a data collection platform (DCP), or relay data to the ProSwap/ProDSS Handheld or a PC using Kor Software.
See Section 6 for information specific to vented level sondes.
Users communicate with the ProSwap Logger via the ProSwap or ProDSS Handhelds or via Kor Software with a USB communications
adapter to a PC.

Introduction
1.3 ProSwap Logger Power Supply
There are two different versions of the ProSwap Logger – one with an internal, rechargeable lithium ion battery
and one without.
Internal Battery Version
Models:
• 610150-XX
• 610151-XX
• 610152-XX
This version includes a built-in, rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery, fully charged, will last at least 90 days at a 15 minute
log interval no matter which ProDSS Sensor is installed and may last longer depending on the sensor type.
Full recharge time may take up to 14 hours depending on the power source.
This battery can be recharged by connecting the cable to a handheld meter (ProSwap or ProDSS). The ProSwap Logger will drain
the battery of the handheld to charge its own battery. Plug the handheld’s USB connector into the AC power adapter or a computer
USB connector to maintain charging.
Alternatively, the battery can be charged using the USB adapter accessory (sold separately). Plug the USB cable into the AC power
adapter or a computer USB connector to enable charging.
Non-Battery Version
Models:
• 610153-XX
• 610154-XX
• 610155-XX
This version features no onboard power and therefore requires an external power supply. Options for external power include the
following:
• ProSwap or ProDSS Handheld – The handheld will power the logger as long as it is connected and powered on.
• ProSwap Logger AA Power Pack – The power pack utilizes six AA batteries to provide power to the logger for at least 90 days at
a 15 minute logging interval.
• USB Adapter – The USB Adapter will power the logger when connected to a PC USB port or AC adapter.
• Flying Lead Adapter – The flying lead adapter may be used to supply external power (9-16 V) and provide communication with
a data logger.

Setup
Sensor Installation
To use the ProSwap Logger with a ProDSS Sensor, proceed with the
following instructions:
1. Remove the port cover shipped with the cable.
2. Apply a thin coat of lubricant to the sensor o-rings.
3. Carefully align the sensor and bulkhead connectors by
inserting the sensor into the port then gently rotating the
sensor until the connectors align. Once aligned, push the
sensor toward the bulkhead until the sensor seats in the port.
4. Finger-tighten the retaining nut clockwise. If any resistance
is felt, loosen the retaining nut completely to prevent cross-
threading.
5. Use the sensor installation tool to tighten the retaining
nut clockwise until snug. Be careful not to over-tighten the
retaining nut.
6. Install the probe guard.
NOTICE: Incorrect installation or over-tightening can cause
damage to the sensor or bulkhead that is not
covered by the warranty.
Sensor Removal
Make sure the probe guard is removed first.
1. To remove a sensor, insert the sensor installation/removal
tool into the retaining nut, then rotate the retaining nut
counterclockwise to loosen.
2. After the retaining nut has been completely unscrewed from the
bulkhead, pull the sensor straight out of the port and place it on
a clean surface.
3. Use a lint-free cloth or compressed air to ensure that the port is
clean and dry. Be careful not to damage the connector pins.
4. Install a port plug if not reinstalling a sensor in the exposed port.
a. Apply a thin coat of o-ring lubricant to the o-rings on the plug
port.
b. Remove any excess lubricant from the o-rings and port plug
with a lint-free cloth.
c. Insert the port plug into the empty port and press until firmly
seated.
d. Finger-tighten the port plug clockwise to install. If necessary,
use the sensor installation tool to make sure that the plug is fully
seated into the port. The o-rings will not be visible if a port plug
is correctly installed. Do not over-tighten the port plug.
NOTICE: Exposure to water can cause
damage or corrosion to the
bulkhead connector not covered by
the warranty.
A port plug and a tube of o-ring
lubricant are included in the
maintenance kit that ships with all
ProSwap Loggers.

2.2 Sensor Guard Installation
A sensor guard must be installed in order to protect the ProDSS sensor being used with the ProSwap Logger. Damage resulting
from use without a sensor guard is not covered under warranty.
Carefully slide the sensor guard over the bulkhead and attached sensors/port plugs. Push the sensor guard toward the bulkhead
until the sensor guard threads align with the bulkhead threads. Then hand-tighten the sensor guard clockwise. If any resistance is
felt, loosen the sensor guard completely to prevent cross-threading. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the sensor guard or
bulkhead that is not covered by the warranty.
To help stabilize the sensors when profiling at deeper depths, a sensor guard weight is supplied with cable assemblies 4 meters and
longer. To attach the weight, carefully hand-tighten it clockwise on to the bottom of the sensor guard. If any resistance is felt, loosen
the sensor guard weight completely to prevent cross-threading. The bottom of the weight is threaded so that additional weights can
be added if needed. YSI recommends installing no more than 5 lbs of weight on the sensor guard.
