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 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. Multiple-use disks contain reagents for
repetitions of a series. Disks should not be filled 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
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.
Between tests store multiple-use disks flat. Do not agitate a partially filled disk. It
could leak or contaminate unused sections of the disk. Multiple-use disks that are
partially used should be discarded at the end of the day. Do not transport the meter
with a disk in the chamber.
For the most accurate results, store and use disks at room temperature (68 – 75
°F/20 – 24 °C).
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.
Only the Universal Disk Cover (Code 1719) that is included with the WaterLink
®
Spin
Touch
®
can be used with the multi-use disks.
Note: Do not store the Disk Cover on the Hub.
METER CHECK DISK
The Meter Check Disk (Code 1705/1705-EU) is used to
evaluate the meter calibration and calibrate the meter if the calibration check fails.
IMPORTANT!! 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
perman’ently attached cover. Do not fill the Meter Check Disk with water. Water is
not used in the Meter Check Disk.
For use of the Meter Check Disk see TROUBLESHOOTING WITH THE METER CHECK
DISK.
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 6 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 will indicate when the battery charge is full, partial, low, empty or charging. The
empty battery icon will flash 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 sufficient 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.
