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.

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.

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

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.
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

TROUBLESHOOTING WITH THE METER CHECK DISK
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 during the meter check
procedure.
Range Check Procedure
The Meter Check Disk is used to verify the performance of a meter. It is not used to
recalibrate the meter. Meters are calibrated at the time of manufacture. The meter is
performing satisfactorily if readings using the Meter Check Disk are within the ranges
provided on the Meter Check Disk pouch. 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.

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.
¬Always use the disk cover.
¬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.
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
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.
