Wetted parts are those pieces of the sampler that come in direct contact with the sample liquid. The main components of the wetted parts for the Manning Model YB8 are the intake hose and strainer, the pump tubing, the discharge tubing, the bottle full sensor (in single bottle units) the distribution assembly (in multiple bottle units) and the sample bottles.
Page 16
Since the strainer is also weighted, it keeps the hose inlet at the desired level in the source liquid. Pump Tubing The pump tubing Manning Environmental Inc. supplies for the Model YB8 is medical grade silicone rubber. Figure 8 - Pump Tubing Discharge Tubing The 3/8"...

After finishing the Configuration Mode, the sampler will return to the Sampler Ready prompt and the current time will be displayed.
Failure to calibrate the unit could lead to potentially inaccurate sample volumes that can adversely affect the accuracy of the analysis. The YB8 should be calibrated any time parameters that could affect the performance and accuracy of the unit are changed. This includes changing the pump tubing, varying the intake hose length, changing the sampling location, etc.

T hese limits can refer to flow or level depending on the program. The limits are important because of the Analog to Digital converter in the YB8. The converter allows an analog signal to be divided into 256 (0 to 255) divisions which digitizes the signal.
At 12 mA the voltage drop is .012x250 = 3.00 volts. The three volts is converted into a digital value 127. When a three volt signal is placed across the analog input terminals it generates a current flow according to ohms law of I = 3/250 = .012 mA. April 1999/Manning Environmental Inc. QhtrÃ7!...

Maintenance Suggested Maintenance Schedule The YB8 sampler requires only minimal maintenance to ensure proper and reliable operation. T he following is a listed of suggested maintenance items and estimated times for accomplishing those tasks. Your actual times and needs may differ.
3 to 5 years Peristaltic Pump The peristaltic pump used in the Manning Environmental Inc. YB8 is designed for long life and trouble free service. T he following is a list of routine maintenance items: Clean around inside of pump to remove particulate matter which can decrease pump tube life April 1999/Manning Environmental Inc.
Failure to do so may lead to serious injury. The peristaltic pump used on the Manning Environmental Inc. Model YB8 has been designed to facilitate the changing of pump tubing. The unit is mounted in a vertical position. The unit also employs a clear plastic face plate to allow the user not only to see how the tubing should lie within the pump but also to aid in tubing alignment and to allow the user to visually verify that the pump is operating correctly.
