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. To clean the light
chamber and optic lenses, point a can of compressed air into the light
chamber and the lid and blow the pressurized air into the light chamber and
lid. Focus the pressurized air around the LEDs which are the small round
lenses positioned at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, 9:00 in the lid. The photodiodes are
located on the bottom of the chamber around the hub. This area must be kept
clean and dry. Use a Q-tip dampened with Windex ® window cleaner to gently
swab the LED and photodiode lenses. Do not use alcohol; it will leave a thin
residue over the optics when dry.
 REPAIRS
Should it be necessary to return the meter for repair or servicing, pack the
meter carefully in a suitable container with adequate packing material. A return
authorization number must be obtained from LaMotte Company by calling 800-
344-3100, ext. 2 (US only) or 410-778-3100, ext. 2, faxing 410-778-6394, or
emailing [email protected]. Often a problem can be resolved over the phone
or by email. If a return of the meter is necessary, attach a letter with the return
authorization number, meter serial number, a brief description of problem and
contact information including phone and FAX numbers to the shipping carton.
This information will enable the service department to make the required
repairs more effi ciently.
