Introduction

The sampler is controlled by a microprocessor that can execute a wide variety of time and flow sampling

sequences called Modes. Entries are made through a keypad with prompts displayed on a 2 line by 20

character backlighted LCD (Liquid Crystal Display).

Sampler Configuration

For the sampler to function properly, it must be set-up fo r t he specific application in which it will be used. T he

*99 Function configures the sampler. Configuration defines multiple variables that do not usually change

between different applications. These are such things as the type of sampler (single bottle, multiple bottle, or

storm water), the number of bottles, and other factors like draw time, and purge time. Instructions for

configuration of the sampler begin on page 2-5.

Sampling Modes

The sampler has two basic Modes: Time and Flow. (NOTE: While referred to as Flow Mode, the sampler

can actuate based on signals from any external device. What device or why the device is supplying the closure

is transparent to the sampler. The sampler simply registers a contact closure, so actuation can occur based on

pH, ORP, Level, Flow, or other parameters. T ime mode is based o n a preset t ime period t hat must pass

before a sample is taken. Flow mode has two variants. The standard controller (contact closure option)

allows sampling based on contact closures from an external device. The analog controller (4-20mA option)

allows sampling based on an analog signal totalized by the sampler’s controller. All programs (or Modes)

available for t he Model YB8 are based on either Time or Flow. I nstructions for programming the different

Modes begin on page 2-14.

Multi-Bottle Sampling Modes

All of t he programs or Modes can be used with multiple bottle samplers.
