more about LaMotte software products at http://softwarecenter.lamotte.com.

CONNECTING VIA BLUETOOTH

The Waterlink Spin Touch is capable of connecting to a Bluetooth enabled device, such as

a phone or tablet. The Spin Touch is also compatible with a BLE Mobile Printer (5-0067).

Other Bluetooth printers are not supported. It is not necessary to pair the Spin Touch to

the Bluetooth enabled device. Barriers to wireless signals can reduce the range of wireless

devices. The Waterlink Spin Touch will work best if there are no walls between it and the

receiving devices.

Transferring results over Bluetooth to a mobile device requires that a mobile app is

installed on the device and an active account for the associated software program. For

example, with an active WaterLink Solutions account and the WaterLink Solutions mobile

app on a phone or tablet, results can be transferred from the meter into the application.

Mobile apps for LaMotte software products are available on iTunes® (iOS® devices) and

Google Play (for AndroidTM devices). Learn more about LaMotte software products at

http://softwarecenter.lamotte.com.

To transfer results from the Waterlink Spin Touch to a LaMotte software product mobile

app:

1. Log into the LaMotte software product mobile app.

2. Search for a customer or Site record. You may need to create one before you can

begin testing.

3. Start a Water Test in the mobile app.

DEVICE CONNECTION

FILLING

When the syringe is placed in the water sample, and the plunger

is pulled all the way up, the syringe will hold more than enough

sample water to adequately ﬁll the disk. The syringe is held

vertically and the tip is inserted into the ﬁll hole on the disk. The

plunger is pressed slowly and smoothly to ﬁll the disk.

1. Fill the disk using slow, even pressure. The

sample water will ﬁll the spaces between

the baﬄes in a counterclockwise order.

Each space will ﬁll from the bottom to the

top. Sample water should be added until the

sample water in the fourth chamber ﬁlls to the

top of the chamber slightly past the embossed

ﬁll line. It is OK to ﬁll slightly past the ﬁll line.

Correct Fill

(Fill line)

2. Do not overﬁll the disk. If the disk is overﬁlled,

sample water will ﬂow out of the overﬂow

hole in the center of the disk. The disk is not

leaking. Dry the disk and run the test.

Overﬁlled

(Dry SpinDisk before placing in meter)

3. Do not under ﬁll the disk. If the disk is under

ﬁlled, the reagent chambers will not ﬁll entirely

and results will be inaccurate.

Underﬁlled

4. Do not introduce air bubbles into the disk.

The reagent chambers will not ﬁll entirely

and results will be inaccurate. As soon as a

bubble starts to form, pull back on the plunger

to draw the bubble out of the disk. Begin the

ﬁlling process again.

Air

Bubble

5. Wet disks should be dried thoroughly with a

lint free wipe. The disk should be handled by

the edges.

6. Disks should be ﬁlled and used within 10

minutes. They cannot be ﬁlled ahead of time.

For ﬁlling and troubleshooting tips go to: www.lamotte.com/spin_support/

NOTICE! Colored or turbid water samples: The WaterLink Spin Touch uses the blank sample well in

the disk to ratiometrically correct for normal levels of color and turbidity in clean samples. Scatter

will increase in samples with elevated amounts of color or turbidity and the test results will not be

FILLING

accurate. The WaterLink Spin Touch is not recommended for analyzing samples that have medium to

high color or medium to high levels of turbidity.

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

METER

When a ﬁlled disk is placed in the chamber and the lid is closed, the meter spins at high

speed to distribute the sample to the test wells. Next the meter slows to maximize the

pumping action of the stainless steel mixing beads as the reagents mix with the sample

water. Each reaction is then read at the proper time and wavelength for that reagent

system.

The button located in the lower center of the top of the meter turns the

instrument on and oﬀ.

The Blue indicator light of the on/oﬀ button indicates the status of the instrument.

Steady blue light – the blue LED will remain steady to indicate that the meter is on and

ready to run a test.

Blinking blue light (three blinks/second) – a test is in progress and the disk is spinning. Do

not open the lid when the disk is spinning.

Care should be taken when closing the lid. Do not slam the lid. Wiring between the lid and

the body of the photometer passes through the hinge. The meter will not run with the lid

open.

TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY

When the button is pressed to turn the meter on, the Test Screen will be displayed.

with the selected records.

Print or Send Results to a Bluetooth Phone or Tablet

The Spin Touch can print to the Mobile Bluetooth Printer or send test results to a

Bluetooth-enabled device such as a phone or a tablet. The highlighted or will show

which function is active. The Spin Touch cannot connect to the printer and connect to a

phone or tablet at the same time.

There are two modes of operation for connecting to the printer and a phone or tablet – Fast

Printer Connect ON and Fast Printer Connect OFF. The default mode is Fast Printer Connect

ON. Fast Printer Connect can be turned on or oﬀ from the Bluetooth Menu that is located in

the Settings Menu.

If Fast Printer Connect is ON, the meter will connect immediately to the printer upon

recognizing it. It will also connect to a phone or tablet but priority is given to the printer

connection. The printer will start printing immediately when is tapped. The will dim

in intensity while the printer is printing. Fast Printer Connect should be ON if results will

be printed more frequently than results will be sent to a phone or tablet. It can remain

selected if results will only be sent to a phone or tablet. If Fast Print Connect is ON, and the

printer is on, the printer will have to be turned oﬀ before results can be sent to a phone or

tablet.

If Fast Printer Connect is OFF, the meter has the opportunity to connect to a phone or

tablet at all times other than when the printer is actually printing a test. The meter will

connect to the printer only after has been tapped so printing will be delayed a few

seconds while the connection to the printer is being established. The will dim in

intensity while the printer is printing. After printing, the meter will automatically reconnect

to the phone or tablet. Fast Printer Connect should be OFF if results will be sent to a phone

or tablet most frequently and printed less often.

SYRINGE

A plastic 3 mL syringe (Code 1189) is used to ﬁll the disks. A

precision tip on the syringe ﬁts into the ﬁll hole on the disk. The

syringe tip should not be removed from the syringe. Syringes should

be cleaned between water samples. Pump air in and out of the

syringe a few times to clear the previous sample or rinse the syringe

with a small amount of the next water sample before ﬁlling it with the

next sample. Replace the syringes when the tips become worn, or the

plungers don’t move smoothly. See Accessories and Replacement

Parts.

REAGENT DISK

The Waterlink Spin Touch uses a SpinDisk™reagent system. The dried

reagents are packaged in single test amounts in a sealed, polystyrene

disk. Stainless steel mixing beads in the reaction chambers mix the

sample water and the dried reagents. Tests for all factors in the series

are performed at one time. It is not possible to isolate the well for a

single factor and perform a test for one test factor only. Single-use

disks contain reagents for a single series. Disks should not be ﬁlled in

the meter chamber.

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

DISK HANDLING

The disk should be handled only by the edges. Avoid touching the

top or bottom of the disk. The light passes through the non-frosted

areas of the disk so these areas must be kept free of smudges and

ﬁngerprints. Wet disks should never be placed in the meter. Wet

disks should be dried with a lint free cloth before placing them into

the chamber.

The disk is positioned in the chamber by aligning the D-shaped hole

in the center of the disk over the D-shaped hub in the photometer

chamber. The disk should be placed gently on the hub. There is no

need to ﬁrmly press the disk down onto the hub.

DISK STORAGE

Disks are sensitive to moisture. Avoid opening more packs

than are needed. Disks have a limited shelf life and should not

be exposed to the humidity in the air more than necessary.

For the most accurate results, store and use disks at room

temperature (68 – 75 °F/20 – 24 °C)..

DISK COVER

The black disk cover is placed over the disk in the photometer

chamber to reduce interference from stray light. The disk cover

is positioned over the disk by aligning the D-shaped hole in the

center of the disk over the D-shaped hub in the photometer

chamber. The disk cover should be placed gently on the hub.

There is no need to ﬁrmly press the disk cover down onto the hub.

The test will be aborted if the disk cover is not used. Do not store

the disk cover on the hub.

METER CHECK DISK

The Meter Check Disk (Code 1705/1705-EU) is used to evaluate the meter calibration and

calibrate the meter if the calibration check fails.

IMPORTANT!!

Do not attempt to separate the components of the Meter Check Disk (Code 1705/1705-

EU). The Meter Check Disk consists of a disk with a permanently attached cover. Do not

ﬁll the Meter Check Disk with water. Water is not used in the Meter Check Disk.

For use of the Meter Check Disk see TROUBLESHOOTING WITH THE METER CHECK DISK.

USB CABLE

A USB cable connects the Waterlink Spin Touch to a Windows-based PC. When used with

the AC Power Adapter, it connects the meter to an AC outlet.

WARNING: only use the USB cable and wall adapter that are supplied with the kit. Make no

substitutions.

BATTERY

A fully charged battery will last for approximately 150 tests under average conditions. The

battery life will vary based on usage patterns. The meter should be turned oﬀ after testing

to prolong the battery life. The standard life cycle of a lithium ion battery is 500 cycles. The
