Safety

In order to comply with the requirements of safety standard EN 61010, the 

viscometer has a separable cord and plug, without a locking device, to mate 

with a socket outlet in the building.  If the user substitutes another cord, the 

cord should not exceed 3 meters (9'10") in length.

Any interruption of the protective earth conductor inside or outside the 

instrument, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal is likely to 

make the instrument dangerous under some fault conditions.  Intentional 

interruption is prohibited.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, 

the protection provided by the equipment might be impaired.  Whenever it 

is likely that protection has been impaired, the instrument should be made 

inoperative, and secured against accidental operation.  OFITE Technical 

Service should be contacted for advice.

Any service performed by removing the viscometer cover should only be 

performed by a knowledgeable operator.

There are no user-serviceable components inside the heat cup cover. The 

Heat Cup should only be serviced by a factory-authorized technician.
