1 Overview
1.1 Structure and function
Structure
Automatic sensor
recognition
The sensor electronics with the stored sensor data is in the connecting head.
The data include, among other things, the sensor type and series number.
With each calibration, the calibration data is written in the sensor and the
calibration history is recorded. The data is recalled by the meter when the
sensor is connected and is used for measurement and for measured value
documentation. Storing the calibration data in the sensor ensures that the
correct cell constant is automatically used if the sensor is operated with
several meters.
The digital transmission technique guarantees the failure-free
communication with the meter even with long connection cables. If the sensor
firmware is enhanced by YSI, it can be updated via the meter.

Measuring / Operation 4310(W)
4ba76139d02 10/2017
Due to the use of high performance PEEK material for the connection
technology 4310 has an improved chemical resistance, especially in acid
media (eg. As electroplating baths).
NOTE
Concentrated or strong oxidizing acids and organic solvents can
damage or destroy the sensor.

Commissioning Connect the electrode to the meter.
2.2 Opening and closing the IDS plug connection (4310W)
This section only applies to the IDS plug variant, 4310W.
4310 – via the sensor cable to a free IDS connec-
tor on the meter
4310W – via a connecting cable (accessory) to a
free IDS connector on the meter
or
– wireless via an IDS WA-S adapter (acces-
sory) to a WA-capable meter
Accessories for the connection of the 4310W
sensor to the meter: See chapter 6 WEAR
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES.
Opening and closing the IDS plug connection,
see section 2.2 OPENING AND CLOSING THE
IDS PLUG CONNECTION (4310W).

4310(W) Cleaning
5
ba76139d02 10/2017
Opening the plug
connection
If necessary, clean the plug connection
Open the locking device (step 1)
Use your thumb and index finger to press the clips of the connector
together, and pull the connector out of the plug (step 2).
Closing the plug
connection
Make sure that the plug connection is completely dry and clean.
Align the guidance of the connector with the groove in the plug and insert
the connector in the unlocked plug until it catches (step 3).
Close the locking device (step 4).
3 Cleaning
NOTE
Prior to cleaning, disconnect the sensor from the meter.
Outside cleaning We recommend to clean the sensor thoroughly, especially before measuring
low conductivity values.

What to do if... 4310(W)
6ba76139d02 10/2017
After cleaning, thoroughly rinse with deionized water and recalibrate if
necessary.
Aging of the
conductivity
measuring cell
Normally, the conductivity measuring cell does not age. Special measuring
media (e.g. strong acids and bases, organic solvents) or temperatures that
are too high may considerably reduce its lifetime or lead to damage. The
warranty does not cover failure caused by measuring conditions and
mechanical damage.
Disposal We recommend to dispose of the measuring cell as electronic waste.
4 What to do if...
Contamination Cleaning procedure
Lime sediments Immerse in acetic acid for 5 minutes (volume
share = 10 %)
Fat/oil Clean with warm water that contains wash-
ing-up liquid
Error symptom Cause Remedy
No temperature or conductivity
display
– No connection between meter
and conductivity measuring
cell
– Cable defective
– Establish connection
between meter and
conductivity measuring
cell
Measurement delivers implausi-
ble conductivity values
– Measuring range exceeded
– Contamination in the area of
the electrodes
– Electrodes damaged
– Make sure the correct
sensor is being used for
the application
– Clean the conductivity
measuring cell (see
section 3).
– Return the sensor
Incorrect temperature display – The temperature sensor is not
immersed deep enough in the
measuring solution
– Temperature sensor
defective
– Observe the minimum
immersion depth
– Return the conductivity
measuring cell
