1.3 Information concerning the CE sign
Thermo Scientific electrical equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use bears the CE marking.
The CE marking attests the compliance of the product with
the EC-Directives which are necessary to apply and con-
firms that the apparatus meets all relevant essential requi-
rements of the directive, the defined relevant protection
requirements.
The conformity assessment procedures were performed
following a defined methodology according to each appli-
cable directive.
The council decision 93/465/EEC shall be authoritative
concerning the modules of the various phases of the con-
formity assessment procedures and the rules for the affi-
xing and use of the CE marking, which are intended to be
used in the technical harmonization directives.
To confirm compliance with the EC-Directive 2004/108/EC
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) our product was te-
sted according to the EMC requirements for emission and
immunity for electrical equipment for measurement, con-
trol and laboratory use.
Compliance with the protection requirements areas (do-
mestic establishments and establishments directly con-
nected to a low voltage power supply network which sup-
plies buildings used for domestic purposes) and industrial
areas is ensured.
Our strict standards regarding operating quality and resul-
ting considerable amount of time and money spent on de-
velopment and testing reflect our commitment to guaran-
tee the high level of quality of our products even under ex-
treme electromagnetic conditions.
Practice however also shows that even electrical equip-
ment which bears the CE marking such as monitors or
analytical instruments can be affected if their manufactu-
res accept an interference (e.g. the flickering of a monitor)
as the minimum operating quality under electromagnetic
compatibility phenomena. For this reason we recommend
you to observe a minimum distance of approx. 1 m from
such equipment.

1.4 WEEE Compliance
This product is required to comply with the European
Union’s Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Directive 2002/96/EC. It is marked with the following sym-
bol:
Thermo Fisher Scientific has contracted with one or more
recycling/disposal companies in each EU Member State,
and this product should be disposed of or recycled

cess to certify that they are produced according to the
specifications as well as to monitor correct functioning and
to confirm that they are safe. The results are recorded for
future reference.
The “Final Test” label on the product is a sign that this unit
has fulfilled all requirements at the time of final manufacturing.
Please inform us if, despite our precautionary measures,
you should find any product defects. You can thus help us
to avoid such faults in future.

4. Warranty
For the warranty and any potential additional warranty, the
user shall have to ensure that the devices are serviced by
an expert at the following intervals:
The maintenance is required after approx. 2000 operating
hours, at the latest, however, twelve months after the in-
itial operation or the last maintenance, respectively.
Two thousand operating hours are achieved:
at an operating period of eight hours daily (five days
a week)
about once a year
at an operating period of more than eight to sixteen
hours daily
about every six months
at an operating period of more than sixteen hours
daily
about every three months
We recommend to have the maintenance carried out by
Thermo Fisher Scientific or by staff authorised by Thermo
Fisher Scientific as special knowledge and tools are requi-
red.
The maintenance and calibration work carried out has to
be recorded by certificates in conformity with ISO 9000 ff.

Safety Notes and Warnings

5. Safety Notes and Warnings
The Rheometer corresponds to the relevant safety regula-
tions. However you are solely responsible for the correct
handling and proper usage of the instrument.
This instrument exclusively determines the rheological behav-
ior of fluid and half-solid materials. These materials may not
be tested if people can be hurt or devices be damaged.
Do not lift or move the unit at the ends of the glass pane.
Do not measure / temperature control any materials that
may give off dangerous vapours or may be inflammable
within the working temperature range of the rheometer.
The device may not be operated if there are any doubts
regarding a safe operation due to the outer appearance
(e.g. damages).
A safe operation of the instrument cannot be guaran-
teed if the user does not comply with this instruction
manual.
Ensure that this instruction manual is made readily
available to every operator.
Do not bend connection and/or mains cable, do not
subject cables to stress or high temperatures (higher
than 70 C).
Check cables visually at regular intervals.
The operator must have an uninterrupted view of the
machine and its surroundings.
The rheometer must be fully visible from the PC con-
trol stand.
This unit should only be used for the applications it was
designed for.
The rheometer is designed for use with a rotor. All exist-
ing safety devices are based on the correct installation
of the rotor. Is the lift (of the measuring table) used with-
out a rotor installed injuries may occur when reaching in
the lift area.
Make sure that the unit has been switched off before you
connect or disconnect the cables. This is to avoid elec-
trostatic charging resulting in a defect of the electronic
circuit boards.
