connection! Verify that the voltage and the frequency match with the specifications for the
viscometer. Before turning on the machine, let it sit for some time so that it acclimates to the
surrounding temperature in order to avoid a short-circuit caused by condensation. The fluctuations
of the power source should not surpass ±10 % of the nominal voltage
