A New Spin on Precision Water Analysis Code 3576 Go to www.lamotte.
OVERVIEW The WaterLink® Spin photometer measures 12 important pool and spa important test factors such as Free Chlorine, Total Chlorine, Bromine, Total Alkalinity, pH, Calcium Hardness, Copper, Iron, Cyanuric Acid, Borate, Biguanide, and Biguanide Shock. This innovative photometer is easy-to-use with a disk reagent system that holds the precise amount of reagents needed to run the tests.

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES METER When a filled disk is placed in the chamber and the lid is closed, the meter spins at high speed to distribute the sample to all 11 wells and to ensure that the water empties from the center chamber. Next the meter slows to maximize the pumping action of the stainless steel mixing beads as the reagents mix with the sample water. Each reaction is then read at the proper time and wavelength for that reagent system.
Calcium Hardness, High Range CHLORINE/BROMINE DISK: Free Chlorine/ Bromine Total Chlorine Total Alkalinity pH Calcium Hardness Copper Iron Calcium Hardness, High Range Cyanuric Acid Borate Total Chlorine Calcium Hardness Total Alkalinity Copper Iron Free Chlorine/ Bromine Borate Cyanuric Acid pH NOTE: Samples suspected of having high levels of chlorine, Blank above 15 ppm, should be pretested with a Wide Range pH/Total Chlorine Test Strip (2987-G).
Do not under fill the disk. If the disk is underfilled, the reagent chambers will not fill entirely and results will be inaccurate. Under Filled Wet disks should be dried thoroughly with a lint free wipe. Disks should be filled and used within 10 minutes. They cannot be filled ahead of time. Under Filled For filling and troubleshooting tips go to: www.lamotte.com/spin Handling The disk should be handled only by the edges. Avoid touching the top or bottom of the disk.
USB CABLE AC ADAPTER The AC Adapter supplies power to the WaterLink Spin from an AC outlet. SET UP SOFTWARE Follow the installation instructions included with the software CD. METER 1. Remove the photometer, AC Adapter and USB cable from the box. Save this box for shipping purposes if needed in the future. 2. 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 2 port on the computer. 3.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING The optical system of the Waterlink Spin must be kept clean and dry for optimal performance. Dry the disk with a lint-free wipe before placing it into the chamber to avoid introducing moisture. For best results store the instrument in an area that is dry and free from aggressive chemical vapors. Clean the exterior housing with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not allow water to enter the light chamber or any other parts of the meter.
DISK DISPOSAL The disks cannot be reused for new tests. Over time, the water in reacted disks will evaporate. Disks may be placed in a recycling bin. Warning: Recyclers should check with the local authorities since some states may require that no chemical residue remains on the plastic.
TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Reason Solution Connection Error Could not connect to water analysis program. Adjust program settings. Be sure program is running. USB 2 port required. Lid Open Error Lid open. Close lid and begin again. Test Series Cancelled Error Lid open, meter not connected. Close lid. Reestablish connection. Unexpected results Did not use disk cover. Retest. Use disk cover.
temperatures above the range they may read low. » pH Purple - As noted under High Chlorine/Bromine above, sanitizer levels beyond 10 ppm can turn the pH reaction purple. » Low Hardness - High Copper, low pH and salt can significantly reduce the expected hardness results. For precise Hardness results in sample water containing salt choose the Chlorine Generator product from the Sanitizer drop down bar in the wate analysis program. Go to www.lamotte.
