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

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.

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

10
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

TROUBLESHOOTING WITH THE METER CHECK DISK
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.
CALIBRATION OPERATIONS
The Meter Check Disk (MCD) is used to perform two calibration operations – Check
Calibration and Start Calibration. The Start Calibration procedure should only be performed
if the meter fails the Check Calibration procedure.
Check Calibration
Meters are calibrated at the time of manufacture. However, it is possible for the calibration
settings to be lost due to power anomalies or other circumstances. The Meter Check Disk
is used in the Check Calibration procedure to determine whether the alignment of the hub
and disk are correct. For some meters, it also evaluates the brightness of the individual
LEDs.
1. Follow the CLEANING procedure to clean the light chamber and optic lenses.
2. From the main test page, tap to select Settings.
3. Tap Calibration.
4. Tap Check Calibration.
5. Remove the Meter Check Disk (Code 1705/1705-EU) from the foil pouch. DO NOT
remove the black cover from the disk. Insert the Meter Check Disk (MCD) into the
meter and close the lid.
6. Tap Start.
7. The meter will briefly spin. When it is complete, six channel values will be displayed.
Compare the displayed channel values to those printed on the MCD pouch. If the
displayed channel values are within the ranges provided on the Meter Check Disk
pouch, the meter is calibrated and performing normally. If the displayed channel
values are not within the ranges provided on the Meter Check Disk pouch, perform the
Start Calibration procedure.
NOTE: Range specifications are specific to the disk identified by the serial number
on the pouch. The range specifications will vary from disk to disk. The exact readings
from a specific disk may vary from meter to meter.
8. Tap to return to the test screen.
9. Remove the MCD from the meter and return to the foil pouch for storage.

18
Start Calibration
The Start Calibration procedure calibrates the alignment of the hub and disk for all meters
and sets the brightness of the individual LEDs for compatible meters. Before performing
this calibration procedure, run the Check Calibration procedure to determine whether the
meter is calibrated and operating normally. The Start Calibration procedure should only be
completed if the meter fails the Check Calibration procedure.
1. Follow the CLEANING procedure to clean the light chamber and optic lenses.
2. From the main test screen, tap to select Settings.
3. Tap Calibration.
4. Tap Start Calibration.
5. Remove the Meter Check Disk (Code 1705) from the foil pouch. DO NOT remove the
black cover from the disk. Insert the Meter Check Disk. Close the lid.
6. Tap Start.
7. When the calibration is complete the message “Angle Calibration Successful” will
appear. Meters that can also perform an LED calibration will display “LED Calibration
Successful”.
8. Tap to return to the test screen.
Angle Calibration checks the alignment of the hub and disk. The LED Calibration sets
the brightness of the individual LEDs. The results are reported as pass or fail. If the
measurements pass, the settings will be saved, and the meter is calibrated. If the analysis
fails, contact Support.

HELPFUL HINTS
¬Do not touch top or bottom of disk. Handle disk by the edge.
¬Do not fill disk while in the meter. Fill disk on clean, dry surface.
¬Fill the disk on a dark surface to more easily see the sample water.
¬The disk should not contain any large air bubbles. Air bubbles will result in erroneous
results.
¬Only the Universal Disk Cover (Code 1719) can be used with the Waterlink Spin
Touch.
¬Empty syringe of old sample before filling with next sample.
¬Remove filled disk from meter after testing. Do not travel with filled disks in meter.
They may leak.
¬Keep the chamber clean and dry. Gently swab LED and photodiode lenses located
around the hub with a cotton swab dampened with streak-free window cleaner. Do
not use alcohol. It will leave a thin film over the lenses when dry.
¬Hold syringe vertically when filling disks.
¬Store disks at 70°-80°F/21°-27°C.
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

19
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
streak-free window cleaner to gently swab the LED and photodiode lenses. Do not use
alcohol; it will leave a thin residue over the optics when dry.
Remove smudges due to routine use from the touchscreen with the Cloth Wipe (Code
3580-WIPE). Use a cloth dampened with alcohol for more thorough cleaning when
necessary. Do not use Windex®window cleaner, or similar cleaners, on the touchscreen.
