3. Do not under fill the disk. If the disk is under filled,
the blank chamber will not be full. The reagent
chambers will not fill entirely and results will be
inaccurate.

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.

5. Wet disks should be dried thoroughly with a lint
free wipe. Handle the disk by the edges. Between
tests store the disk on a flat surface. Do not
agitate a partially filled disk to avoid leaking and
contamination. Partially used disks should be
discarded at the end of the day.
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.
The display screen is touch-activated. To make a selection, tap the icon or word on
the screen with a fingertip, fingernail, pencil eraser, or stylus.
¬
Gently wipe smudges from the screen with the Cloth Wipe (3580-WIPE).
¬
Do not touch the screen with a sharp object.
¬
Do not place objects on the screen that will scratch or damage it.
¬
Avoid touching the screen with wet fingers.
TESTING
1. Press
and hold until
the meter turns on.
2. Tap . Select a sanitizer
type. Tap to confirm.
3. Tap . Select a disk
series (found on disk
packaging). Tap to
confirm.
NOTE: Disk Series are
limited by Sanitizer
selection or Water Source
selection.
4. Remove a disk from the
packaging.
5. Use the syringe (1189) to
fill the disk with the pool
or spa water sample.
6. Insert the disk. Cover the
disk with the Universal Disk Cover (1719). Close the lid.
7. Tap
to start test. Tap
to cancel the test. If the test is cancelled discard
the disk.
8. The results will be displayed.
9. Choose an option.
¬
Tap
to add a tag.
¬
Tap the highlighted to save the test results to the test log if Auto Save is
not enabled.
¬
Tap the hightlighted
to send the results to the enabled Mobile Bluetooth
Printer.
¬
Tap the highlighted
to send the results to a Bluetooth enabled device.
¬
Tap to return to the Test Screen.
10. REMOVE THE DISK FROM THE CHAMBER. DISPOSE OF THE DISK. Disks left in the
chamber can leak and damage the device. Do not store the disk cover on the
hub.
11. Press and hold
for 2 seconds to turn the meter off.
NOTE: For water samples over 100 °F (38 °C) subtract 0.1 from pH result or, for the
most accurate result, wait until water sample is below 90 °F (32 °C) to test.
SAVE, PRINT, AND SEND TEST RESULTS
Test results can be saved, transferred to
the WaterLink Connect 2 mobile app via
Bluetooth, and sent to the BLE Mobile Printer
(Code 5-0067).
Test History Settings
The WaterLink Spin
Touch can log test results for 250 water
samples in the Test History. The results for
the most recent sample will be located at
the top of the list. All results can be logged
automatically or results for an individual
sample can be logged after the sample has
been tested.
To turn on automatic logging, tap
on the
Test Screen. Tap . Select Auto-Save Tests.
Tap
and to return to the test screen. When Auto Save is selected will not be
highlighted on the Test Results screen.
To manually log results for one sample at a time, Auto-Save Tests must be disabled.
If Auto-Save Tests is disabled will be highlighted on the Test Results screen. After
the test has been run, tap to save the results for that water sample to the Test
History.
A user defined identification tag can be assigned to an individual sample result.
To enable tagging, tap on the Test Screen. Tap
. Select Enable tags. Tap
and to return to the test screen. The tag can be up to 4 hexadecimal characters.
It cannot begin with a zero. To tag a test result, tap
on the bottom of the Test
Results screen and use the buttons to enter up to four characters. Tap
to erase
a character. Tap
to save the tag and return to the Test Results screen. Tap
to return to the Test Results screen without saving the tag. The tagged result
will appear on the Test Results screen and the Test History screen. The tag will be
preceded by “T-“.
Logged results are viewed in Test History. Controls for viewing and managing single
or multiple test records are located on the Test History screen. Tap the checkbox
next to a test record to select it, then tap one of the buttons along the bottom to
perform an action with the selected records.
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. Replace 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
