printer will start printing immediately when
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
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 the 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.
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.
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.
METER CHECK DISK The Meter Check Disk (Code 1705/1705-EU) is used to check the alignment
of the hub and disk and set the brightness of the individual LEDs. It is then used to 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 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
