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.
Store disks at 70-80 °F/21-27 °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 fi rmly press the disk cover down onto the hub.
The test will be aborted if the disk cover is not used.
METER CHECK DISK
The Meter Check Disk (1705) serves two purposes:
¬
When the Meter Check Disk (MCD) is run as an option from the Disk Series menu, the
values on the display are compared to the values on the chart on the Meter Check
Disk package to determine whether the meter is reporting results in the expected
ranges.
¬
If the Meter Check Disk is inserted in the meter and Rotary Calibration is chosen from
the Settings Menu, the alignment of the hub and disk is evaluated. The results are
analyzed and reported as Pass or Fail.
For use of the Meter Check Disk see page 16.
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 10-12 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 fl ash 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 suffi
cient voltage. While
charging, the charging battery icon will be displayed. The meter should remain plugged in
