PC CONNECTION
When the WaterLink Spin Touch is connected to
a computer via USB, the onboard touchscreen becomes disabled
and operation of the lab is performed using the WaterLink Connect
2 application for Windows. This application is available for free at
softwarecenter.lamotte.com
. Via the WaterLink Connect 2 desktop
application, results from the Spin Touch can be transferred to a water
analysis program such as WaterLink Solutions
™
.
DEVICE CONNECTION
The WaterLink Spin Touch supports connections to a
Windows based PC (over USB) and to Android and iOS mobile devices (via
Bluetooth).
CONNECTING VIA USB
Using the provided USB cable, the WaterLink Spin Touch
can be connected to a Windows based PC. Before connecting a meter via USB,
download and install the free WaterLink Connect 2 Windows application from
softwarecenter.lamotte.com
. When the WaterLink Spin Touch is connected to the
PC via USB, the onboard touch screen controls will be disabled and operation of
the meter is performed using the WaterLink Connect 2 application. LaMotte offers
robust water analysis programs as well, such as WaterLink Solutions, to collect test
results and offer detailed treatment recommendations. Learn more about LaMotte
software products at
softwarecenter.lamotte.com
.
CONNECTING VIA BLUETOOTH
The WaterLink Spin Touch is capable of
connecting to a Bluetooth enabled device, such as a phone or tablet. The Spin Touch
is also compatible with a BLE Mobile Printer [Code 5-0067]. Other Bluetooth printers
are not supported. It is not necessary to pair the Spin Touch to the Bluetooth enabled
device. Barriers to wireless signals can reduce the range of wireless devices. The
WaterLink Spin Touch will work best if there are no walls between it and the receiving
devices.
Transferring results over Bluetooth to a mobile device requires that a mobile app is
installed on the device and an active account for the associated software program.
For example, with an active WaterLink Solutions account and the WaterLink
Solutions mobile app on a phone or tablet, results can be transferred from the meter
into the application. Mobile apps for LaMotte software products are available on
iTunes® (iOS® devices) and Google Play (for Android
TM
devices). Learn more about
LaMotte software products at
softwarecenter.lamotte.com
.
To transfer results from the WaterLink
Spin Touch to a LaMotte software product
mobile app:
1. Log into the LaMotte software product mobile app.
2. Search for a customer or Site record. You may need to create one before you can
begin testing.
3. Start a Water Test in the mobile app.
4. Perform a water test from the Spin Touch onboard touchscreen normally. The
Spin Touch and the Bluetooth enabled mobile device will connect automatically.
5. When the connection is available the
will light on the touch screen. When the
is dim, the meter and device are not connected. Tap the
to transfer results
to the mobile app.
Whenever the
appears on the touch screen the Spin Touch is capable of
connecting to the BLE Mobile Printer (5-0067). The
button will be highlighted
when connected and dim when not connected.
The Spin Touch cannot connect to both mobile device and the printer at one time.

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
fill the disk. Hold the syringe vertically and insert
the tip into the fill hole in the disk. Press the plunger
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.

FILLING: Multiple-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
fill the disk. Hold the syringe vertically and insert
the tip into the fill hole in the disk. Press the plunger
slowly and smoothly to fill the disk. Sections do not
have to be filled in order. The meter will detect which
section was most recently filled.
1. Fill any unused section of the disk using slow, even
pressure. Add the sample water until the Blank
Chamber is full and the Over Flow Chamber is
partially filled.

2. Do not overfill the disk. If the disk is overfilled,
sample water will flow out of the vent hole in the
center of the disk. If this happens sample water
may flow into a reagent chamber prematurely and
results will not be accurate. Begin a new test in
the next chamber.
