LaMotte 3586 WaterLink Spin Touch BC

BEFORE FIRST USE

Fully charge battery using the Spin Touch USB cable and adapter plug in AC outlet.
Ensure your Spin Touch has latest firmware. A USB connection to a Windows® PC is required:

Download and install WaterLink Connect 2 Application for Windows at http://softwarecenter.lamotte.com/. Select WaterLink Connect 2 Software for Windows FREE Download.
Plug meter into the computer with the provided USB cable and launch WaterLink Connect 2 Application from the Start Menu.
A prompt will appear if firmware updates are available. Select Update. Testing and data transfer will not be possible until firmware has been updated.

TESTING

Press and hold until the meter turns on.
Tap . Select a water source. Tap to confirm.
Tap .Select a disk series (found on disk packaging). Tap to confirm.
NOTE: Disk Series are limited by water source selection.
Remove a disk from the packaging.
Use the syringe (1189) to fill the disk with the water sample.
Insert the disk. Cover the disk with the Universal Disk Cover (1719). Close the lid.
Tap to start test. Tap to cancel the test. If the test is cancelled discard the disk.
The results will be displayed.
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.
Press and hold for 2 seconds to turn the meter off.

Allow the sample to cool to 85 °F (20 °C) or below before testing. Remove residue daily. Residue will damage the meter and cause inaccurate results. The blank well allows the readings to be corrected for small amounts of color and turbidity in the sample water. For samples with a large amount of solids, allow the solids to settle out and fill the syringe with the clear liquid above the solids for the best results.

DOS & DON’TS

Do not touch top or bottom of disk. Handle disk on edge. ¬ Hold syringe vertically when filling disks. ¬ Fill the disk on a dark surface to more easily see the sample water.
Do not fill disk while in the meter. Fill disk on clean, dry surface.
The disk should not contain any large air bubbles. Air bubbles will result in erroneous results.
Always use the disk cover.
Only the Universal Disk Cover (Code 1719) can be used with the WaterLink Spin Touch.
Empty syringe of previous sample before filling with next sample.
Remove filled disk from meter after testing. Do not travel with filled disks in meter. They may leak
Keep the chamber clean and dry. Gently swab LED and photodiode lenses located around the hub with a cotton swab dampened with streak-free window cleaner. Do not use alcohol. It will leave a thin film over the lenses when dry
Store disks at 70-80 °F/21-27 °C.
NOTICE! Colored or turbid water samples: The WaterLink Spin Touch uses the blank sample well in the disk to ratiometrically correct for normal levels of color and turbidity in clean samples. Scatter will increase in samples with elevated amounts of color or turbidity and the test results will not be accurate. The WaterLink Spin Touch is not recommended for analyzing samples that have medium to high color or medium to high levels of turbidity.

BLUETOOTH CONNECTION

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 5-0067). Other Bluetooth printers are not supported.
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 SolutionsTM 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 from iTunes (for iOS devices) and Google Play (for Android devices). For detailed information read the Spin Touch manual. Go to http://softwarecenter.lamotte.com/ to learn more about LaMotte software products.

FILLING

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.
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.
Do not under fill the disk. If the disk is under filled, the reagent chambers will not fill entirely and results will be inaccurate
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.
Wet disks should be dried thoroughly with a lint free wipe. The disk should be handled by the edges.
Disks should be filled and used within 10 minutes. They cannot be filled ahead of time.
