only after
has been tapped so printing will be delayed a few seconds while the connection
to the printer is being established. The
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 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. Multiple-use disks contain reagents for repetitions of a
series. Disks should not be filled in the meter chamber.
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.
Between tests store multiple-use disks flat. Do not agitate a partially filled disk. It could leak or
contaminate unused sections of the disk. Multiple-use disks that are partially used should be
discarded at the end of the day. Do not transport the meter with a disk in the chamber.
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.
Only the Universal Disk Cover (Code 1719) that is included with the WaterLink
used with the multi-use disks.
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 perman'ently 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 battery
will fully charge in approximately 6 hours. The battery is designed to be charged overnight and
should be charged indoors only. The battery is rated at 12 V and 8.1 AH capacity. Power the meter
from the battery pack or from AC power. The USB cable and AC adapter are used to plug the
meter into an AC outlet. WARNING: only use the AC adapter supplied with this equipment. Do not
substitute.
