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 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.
For the most accurate results, store and use disks at room temperature (68–75 °F/20–24 °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 firmly press the disk cover down onto the hub. The test will be
aborted if the disk cover is not used. Do not store the disk cover on the hub.
METER CHECK DISK The Meter Check Disk (Code 1705) is used to check the alignment of the hub
and disk and set the brightness of the individual LEDs. It is then used to calibrate the meter if the
calibration check fails.
IMPORTANT!! Do not attempt to separate the components of the Meter Check Disk (Code
1705). The Meter Check Disk consists of a disk with a permanently 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.
