FILLING: Single-Use Disks

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 water
sample to adequately fi ll the disk. Hold the syringe vertically and
insert the tip into the fi ll hole in the disk. Press the plunger slowly

FILLING

and smoothly to fi ll the disk.

1. Fill the disk using slow, even pressure. The
sample water will fi ll the spaces between
the baffl es in a counterclockwise order.
Each space will fi ll from the bottom to the
top. Sample water should be added until the
sample water in the fourth chamber fi lls to the
top of the chamber slightly past the embossed
fi ll line. It is OK to fi ll slightly past the fi ll line.

2. Do not overfi ll the disk. If the disk is overfi lled,
sample water will fl ow out of the overfl ow
hole in the center of the disk. The disk is not
leaking. Dry the disk and run the test.

3. Do not under fi ll the disk. If the disk is under
fi lled, the reagent chambers will not fi ll entirely
and results will be inaccurate.

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

METER

When a fi lled 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.

SYRINGE

A plastic 3 mL syringe (Code 1189) is used to fi ll the disks. A
precision tip on the syringe fi ts into the fi ll 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 fi lling 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 fi lled 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
fi ngerprints. 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.

8

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

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 fi rmly 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 fi rmly 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 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 13.

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

9

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

will indicate when the battery charge is full, partial, low, empty or charging. The empty
battery icon will fl ash 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 suffi cient 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;

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.
