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.

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. Multiple-use disks contain
reagents for repetitions of a series. Disks should not be filled in the
meter chamber.
GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

11
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.
Store disks at 70-80 °F/21-27 °C. Disks with Salt reagent should be
stored and used at room temperature (68-74 °F/20-23 °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®Spin Touch®can be used with the multi-use disks.
METER CHECK DISK
The Meter Check Disk 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 14.
GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

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 10-12 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.
The battery charge status is indicated by the battery icon on the display. The
battery icon will indicate when the battery charge is full, partial, low, empty or
charging. The empty battery icon will flash to indicate that meter should be
connected to AC power source. If the meter continues to be used at low battery
power without connecting it an AC power source, the meter will go into an auto-
shutdown mode. In this mode the meter will be locked until meter is connected
to an AC source and the battery is charged to a sufficient voltage.
While charging, the charging battery icon will be displayed. The meter should
remain plugged in until the battery is fully charged. When the battery is
completely charged, the charging icon will change to the full battery icon.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The optical system of the WaterLink®Spin Touch®must be kept clean and dry for optimal
performance. Dry the disk with a lint-free wipe before placing it into the chamber to avoid
introducing moisture. For best results, store the instrument in an area that is dry and free
from aggressive chemical vapors. Clean the exterior housing with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Do not allow water to enter the light chamber or any other parts of the meter. To clean the
light chamber and optic lenses, point a can of compressed air into the light chamber and
the lid and blow the pressurized air into the light chamber and lid. Focus the pressurized
air around the LEDs which are the small round lenses positioned at 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00,
10:00 and 12:00 in the lid. The photodiodes are located on the bottom of the chamber
around the hub. This area must be kept clean and dry. Use a cotton swab dampened with
Windex®window cleaner to gently swab the LED and photodiode lenses. Do not use alcohol;
