Rugged, reliable and waterproof, the YSI 556 MPS (Multiprobe System) combines the versatility of an easy-to-use, easy-to-read handheld unit with all the functionality of a multiparameter system.
Featuring a waterproof IP-67, impact-resistant case, the YSI 556MPS simultaneously measures dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, temperature, and ORP. Or, simply purchase the cable to measure DO, conductivity, and temperature if needed. The YSI 556 MPS conforms to GLP standards.
Key Features
- Powered by alkaline batteries or an optional rechargeable battery pack with fast charge feature
- Internal barometer can be user-calibrated and displayed along with other data, used in dissolved oxygen calibrations, and logged to memory for tracking changes in barometric pressure
- Comes standard with a soft-sided carrying case with enough space for the YSI 556 MPS, a 20-meter cable, and calibrating supplies
- Field-replaceable DO, pH, and pH/ORP probes
- RS-232 and compatible with EcowatchTM for WindowsTM data analysis software
- Easy-to-use, screw-on cap DO membranes
- User-upgradable software from YSI website
In order to ensure data quality be sure to use the 5580 Confidence Solution with the 556 . Quickly check pH, ORP, and conductivity values to guarantee probe accuracy during important field studies.
The 556 also features menu-driven operation with multiple languages including Spanish, French, Italian, German, Norwegian, and English.
Data management is simple with EcoWatch™ desktop software for tabular and graphical data representations.
