Quick Start Guide
Item #605183
This Quick Start Guide is meant to serve as a quick reference in calibrating and
operating the Pro1030. It is not intended to replace the information found in the User
Manual.
Installing the pH or ORP Sensor
Prior to use, install either a Pro Series pH, pH-amplified or ORP sensor. Failure to install
a pH or ORP sensor may cause permanent damage to the cable not covered under
warranty.
1. Remove the temporary plastic plug from the cable’s port by pulling it straight
out of the port. This can be discarded.
2. Remove the plastic plug from the sensor’s connector by pulling it straight off the
sensor. This can be discarded.
3. Ensure both the sensor connector and cable connector are clean and dry.
4. Grasp the sensor with one hand and the cable bulkhead in the other.
5. Push the sensor into the connector on the cable until it is firmly seated and only
1 o-ring is visible. Failure to properly seat the sensor may result in damage.
6. Twist the sensor clockwise to engage the threads and finger tighten. Do NOT
use a tool. This connection is water-tight.
7. You may remove the shipping storage vessel from the sensing end of the
sensor. This can be saved for later use when storing the sensor for long periods
of time. For short term storage (<30 days), place the probe in the grey storage
sleeve with a sponge moistened with tap water.
pH Calibration
The Pro1030 pH sensor can be calibrated by performing a 1, 2 or 3-point calibration. At
least one of the calibration points must be done with pH buffer 7 or 6.86. For highest
accuracy, perform at least a 2-point calibration.
1 Point Calibration
1. Place the sensor in pH buffer 7 or 6.86 and allow the temperature and pH
readings to stabilize.
2. Press and hold Cal for three seconds.
3. Highlight pH and press Enter. If pH is not listed as an option, check the System
Setup menu to ensure pH is enabled in the ISE Sensor Type menu.

4. Highlight 1 point and press Enter.
5. If necessary, use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the pH buffer value.
6. Press Enter to complete the calibration or press Cal to cancel.
7. ‘Calibration Successful’ will display for a few seconds to indicate a successful
calibration and then the instrument will return to the Run screen.
8. If the calibration is unsuccessful, an error message will display on the screen.
Press the Cal key to exit the calibration error message and return to the Run
screen. Refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual for a possible
solution or contact YSI Technical Supportelectrolyte will overflow.
2 or 3-Point Calibration
1. Place the sensor in pH buffer 7 or 6.86 and allow the temperature and pH
readings to stabilize.
2. Press and hold Cal for three seconds.
3. Highlight pH and press Enter. If pH is not listed as an option, check the System
Setup menu to ensure pH is enabled in the ISE Sensor Type menu.
4. Highlight 2 point or 3 point and press enter.
5. If necessary, use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the pH buffer value.
6. Press Enter to continue to second point.
7. Rinse the sensor and place it in the second pH buffer (4/4.01 or 10/9.18). If
necessary, use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the pH buffer value.
8. Wait approximately 30 to 60 seconds for the pH sensor to stabilize and for the
temperature reading to stabilize.
9. Press Enter to either complete the 2-point calibration or to continue with the 3rd
calibration point. Or, press Cal to cancel.
10. If continuing on with a 3rd calibration point, rinse the sensor and place it in the
third pH buffer (4/4.01 or 10/9.18). If necessary, use the up and down arrow keys
to adjust the pH buffer value.
11. Wait approximately 30 to 60 seconds for the pH sensor to stabilize and for the
temperature reading to stabilize.
12. Press Enter to complete the 3-point calibration. Or, press Cal to cancel.
13. ‘Calibration Successful’ will display for a few seconds to indicate a successful
calibration and then the instrument will return to the Run screen.
14. If the calibration is unsuccessful, an error message will display on the screen.
Press the Cal key to exit the calibration error message and return to the Run
screen.

Conductivity Calibration
The Pro1030 can be calibrated in conductivity, specific conductance or salinity.
Calibration of any option will automatically calibrate the others. YSI recommends
calibrating specific conductance for both ease and accuracy. The following procedure
outlines the specific conductance calibration.
1. Fill a clean container with conductivity calibration solution and place the sensor
into the solution. The solution must cover the holes of the conductivity sensor
that are closest to the cable. Ensure the entire conductivity sensor is submerged
in the solution or the instrument will read approximately half the expected
value. Gently agitate the probe to remove any air bubbles from the conductivity
sensor.
2. Turn the instrument on and allow the conductivity and temperature readings
to stabilize. Press the Cal key. Highlight Conductivity and press Enter. Next,
highlight Sp. Conductance and press Enter.
3. Highlight the units you wish to calibrate, either uS/cm or mS/cm, and press
Enter. 1 mS = 1,000 uS. Next, use the up or down arrow key to enter the value
of the conductivity solution as it is listed for 25°C. Most conductivity solution is
labeled with a value at 25°C. Depressing either the up or down arrow key for 5
seconds will move the changing digit one place to the left.
4. Press Enter to complete the calibration. Or, press Cal to cancel the calibration
and return to the Run screen.
5. ‘Calibration Successful’ will display for a few seconds to indicate a successful
calibration and then the instrument will return to the Run screen.
ORP Calibration
1. Place the clean sensor in ORP calibration solution. Wait for the ORP and
temperature readings to stabilize.
2. Press and hold Cal for three seconds.
3. Highlight ORP and press Enter. If ORP is not listed as an option, check the
System Setup menu to ensure ORP is enabled in the ISE Sensor Type menu.
4. Use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the ORP calibration solution value.
5. Wait for the temperature reading to stabilize, then press Enter to complete the
calibration or press Cal to cancel.
6. ‘Calibration Successful’ will display for a few seconds to indicate a successful
calibration and then the instrument will return to the Run screen.
7. If the calibration is unsuccessful, an error message will display on the screen.
Press the Cal key to exit the calibration error message and return to the Run
screen. Refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual for a possible
solution or contact YSI Technical Support.

6. If the calibration is unsuccessful, an error message will display on the screen.
Press the Cal key to exit the calibration error message and return to the Run
screen. Refer to the troubleshooting section of the manual for a possible

Taking Measurements
1. Before taking measurements, be sure the instrument has been calibrated to
ensure the most accurate readings.
2. Turn the instrument on, install the sensor guard and then insert the sensors into
the sample.
3. Ensure the conductivity sensor is completely submerged in the sample. The two
holes near the cable should be covered by the sample for accurate conductivity
readings.
4. Wait for the readings to stabilize.
5. Highlight Save and press Enter to store the reading.
