  • Page 14: Safety Notes And Warnings

    • This instrument and all of its accessories must only be used for the applications it was designed for. CAUTION The HAAKE Viscotester iQ is designed for use with a rotor. All existing safety devices are based on the correct installation of the rotor. In case the lift used without a rotor installed, injuries may occur when reaching in the lift area.
  • Page 15 • After a repair the instruments safety must be inspected thoroughly by qualified personnel. • Have the instrument serviced by specialists at regular intervals. • The pressure of the compressed air supply for the HAAKE Viscotester iQ Air must not exceed 3 bar. A higher pressure will damage the air bearing permanently.

  • Page 16: Contacting Us

    Preface CAUTION • The HAAKE Viscotester iQ is designed for the determination of the rheological behavior of fluid and semi-solid materials. These materials must not be measured with the HAAKE Viscotester iQ in case the operator (or other people) can be injured or the device can be damaged.

Space Requirements For good working conditions an area with a width of 0.5 m and a depth of 0.6 m on a (laboratory) bench is needed, when using the Viscotester iQ in stand-alone mode (that is without a PC).

  • Page 37: Compressed Air Supply

    Plant (or shop) air systems generally apply small amounts of oil to the compressed air to prevent rust in the piping. Compressed air from such installations can not be used directly for air-bearing of the HAAKE Viscotester iQ Air, the use of special oil filters that reduce the amount of oil to the above specification is obligatory.

  • Page 38: Ambient Conditions According To En 61010

    The communication between the HAAKE Viscotester iQ instrument and the HAAKE RheoWin software uses an Ethernet network connection. To be able to use the HAAKE Viscotester iQ with the computer must have at least one free Ethernet network connection port (a standard RJ45, 8P8C port).
