The meter may be interfaced with any Windows-based 64 bit computer by
using the LaMotte WaterLink Connect program and a USB cable. The program
will store test information and results in a local database, and allow for
exporting this data to a comma separated value (CSV) fi le. The meter will
send the following data: time/date stamp, name of test, sample value, sample
units, meter name, and location. T
BATTERY
BATTERY/AC OPERATION
The colorimeter may be operated on battery power using a USB wall adapter
or USB computer connection. If using the meter as a bench top unit, use the
wall adapter if possible to extend the battery life. The meter will remain on
when the USB adapter is used.
To charge the battery with the wall adapter, plug the smaller end of the USB
cable (USB mini B connector) into the meter and the larger end of the USB
cable (USB type A connector) into the wall adapter. Plug the wall adapter into
an AC outlet. Reinsert the rubber USB port plug after charging. To charge the
battery from a computer, plug the smaller end of the USB cable (USB mini B
connector) into the meter and the larger end of the USB cable (USB Type A
connector) into a USB port on a computer. The battery icon will show no bars
and fl ash when the unit fi rst turns on. Then the indicator will indicate the
battery status by showing 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 bars.
It will take 6 hours to fully charge a low battery. The battery icon will fl ash
when the battery is charging. The battery icon will show four bars and stop
fl ashing when it is fully charged. The charging circuit will automatically switch
to a fl oat charge when the battery is fully charged. The charger may remain
connected. Some computers will NOT supply power to their USB ports during
standby operation. The wall adapter will charge the unit continuously.
Storing the meter above ambient room temperature will decrease the battery
charge more quickly than storage at room temperature. If the meter does
not turn on, it means that the battery is at a very low charge. Charging the
battery with the wall adapter in this state may take up to 10 hours. At low
temperatures, approaching 0 °C, the battery will charge more slowly. It will not
charge at all below 0 °C. The battery icon will show no bars and continuously
fl ash if the battery is getting low but the unit will still operate normally. A
