Professional Plus (Pro Plus) Multiparameter Instrument

5 Reasons to Upgrade from Pro Plus to ProQuatro

Since 2006, the Professional Plus has set the industry standard for water quality sampling, but the time has come for us to say farewell and move toward the future. Now, as the 2021 field season approaches, we are excited to crown the ProQuatro, YSI’s latest handheld in the Professional Series line, as the new successor to the Pro Plus throne.

The YSI Professional Plus handheld has been discontinued as of March 31, 2021. The direct replacement is the ProQuatro multiparameter handheld. See the FAQ tab below or visit the ProQuatro page for more information.

The Pro Plus multiparameter meter provides extreme flexibility for the measurement of a variety of combinations for dissolved oxygen, conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, resistivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, ORP, pH/ORP combination, ammonium (ammonia), nitrate, chloride and temperature. Also a very powerful lab instrument for BODs, pH and ORP.

EPA approved for drinking water and wastewater compliance reporting.

Instrument Only.  Cables, probes/sensors, and accessories sold separately.

  • Overview

    Learn more about ProQuatro, the replacement to Pro Plus.

    The Quatro cable attached to the Pro Plus allows you to utilize 4-ports to measure temperature/conductivity, DO, and any two ISEs among pH, ORP, ammonium, chloride, or nitrate creating an extremely powerful handheld multiparameter instrument.

    Toughest
    The Pro Plus instrument meets the demands of true field work. The instrument is rated to IP-67 standards even without the battery cover on. Other tough features include a 3-year warranty, Mil-spec connectors, rubber overmolded case, and a 2-year cable warranty. In-house testing procedures also include 1-meter drop tests from all angles to ensure expected field-durability.

    Tough, Field Durability Features Include:

    • Easy-to-install cable weights; can be daisy-chained for additional weight*
    • Rubber, over-molded IP-67 waterproof case (even without the battery cover)*
    • 3-year instrument warranty
    • 2-year cable warranty*
    • Rugged cables, sensors, and military-spec connectors*
    • Drop-tested 1 meter at all angles*
    • Scratch-resistant lens; viewable with polarized glasses

  • FAQs

    Pro Plus Discontinuation FAQ

    1.  Why are you discontinuing the Professional Plus?

    The Professional Plus, or as most call it the Pro Plus, has been an industry leading multiparameter meter for over 10 years. Since that time, technology has changed for the better and while the Pro Plus was able to keep up, some of the components that go into the meter have become obsolete. Instead of sourcing rare components and raising prices, we decided it was time for an upgrade. Goodbye Pro Plus, hello ProQuatro.

    2.  I just purchased a Pro Plus, should I return it?

    No, the Pro Plus is still a fantastic instrument! There is nothing wrong with the Pro Plus but, as stated above, it’s simply not sustainable to keep manufacturing them. You will still be able to collect the highest quality data and endure the toughest conditions with your Pro Plus. And you can continue to buy cables, sensors, and consumable parts.

    3.  Can I still have my Pro Plus serviced?

    Yes you can. We will continue to support Pro Plus instruments until March 2026. This includes service and repair parts. We will also be honoring all warranties so we’ve got your back for 3 years after the purchase date.

    4.  Is there a direct replacement for the Pro Plus?

    The ProQuatro was released last year as a replacement for the Pro Plus. For the most part, the two instruments are the same. They accept the same cables and sensors and are built to the same level of quality and robustness. ProQuatro also has many of the loved features the Pro Plus had including:

    • 5,000 data set memory
    • Interval or single-event logging
    • Backlit display AND keypad
    • Rubber, over-molded IP-67 waterproof case (even without the battery cover)
    • Rugged cables, sensors, and military-spec connectors

    As well as many more that cant be listed here. See the ProQuatro Product page for more information.

    5.  Do my old cables and sensors work with ProQuatro?

    Absolutely! We want to make the transition from Pro Plus to ProQuatro as smooth as possible so the ProQuatro was been to designed to work with all Pro Series cables and sensors just like the Pro Plus. If you are replacing your handheld with a ProQuatro, you don’t need to replace anything else in your setup if it’s still in good working order.

    6.  What makes the ProQuatro different from the Pro Plus?

    ProQuatro and the Pro Plus are very similar by design, however there are a few key differences:

    • New microUSB port allows for on-the-go data transfer directly to a flash drive
    • Removal of the onscreen "Help" feature
    • "Data ID" replaces the "Site Folder"

    The addition of the USB port makes the ProQuatro one of the smartest instruments in the Pro Series. Now users can simply upload their data directly to a flash drive for easy access in the field or the lab.

    7.  Can I still use the Data Manager?

    You can still use the Data Manager software with a Pro Plus instrument. The new ProQuatro will not ship with this software and is not designed to interface with it. Instead, data is downloaded to a flash drive (included with purchase) via the USB port.
