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 disk 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/

FILLING

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.

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

Logged results are viewed in Test History. Controls for viewing and managing single or

multiple test records are located on the Test History screen. Tap the checkbox next to a

test record to select it, then tap one of the buttons along the bottom to perform an action

with the selected records.

Print or Send Results to a Bluetooth Phone or Tablet

The WaterLink 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.

REAGENT DISK

The WaterLink®Spin Touch®uses a disk 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.

Store disks at 70-80 °F/21-27 °C. Do not transport the

meter with a disk in the chamber.

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.

METER CHECK DISK

The Meter Check Disk (1705/1705-EU) serves two purposes:

¬When the Meter Check Disk (MCD) is run as an option from the Disk Series menu, the

values on the display are compared to the values on the chart on the Meter Check

Disk package to determine whether the meter is reporting results in the expected

ranges.

¬If the Meter Check Disk is inserted in the meter and Rotary Calibration is chosen from

the Settings Menu, the alignment of the hub and disk is evaluated. The results are

analyzed and reported as Pass or Fail.

For use of the Meter Check Disk see page 17.

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
