1. Introduction
Thank you for acquiring the ADVANCE rotational viscometer model from Fungilab.
The ADVANCE is a rotational viscometer, based on the torque measurement of a rotating spindle in the
sample at a specified velocity. Three different models (type L, R and H), as well as various accessories, allow
it to cover a wide range of viscosity measurement.
2. Safety Instructions
It is not the purpose of this manual to outline all of the safety instructions recommended for the
use of the rotational viscometer, its accessories and samples. It is the user’s responsibility to
establish health and safety practices and to determine the application’s limits before use.
Fungilab guarantees the satisfactory operation of the viscometers and its accessories if there has
not been any unauthorized adjustment to the mechanical pieces, the electronic components and
the software.
The operator should follow all the instructions and warnings of this manual to ensure the safe and
proper operation of the equipment.
Do not use the equipment for any other purpose than those described in this manual.
Do not use any accessory that is not supplied or approved by Fungilab.
Do not use the viscometer or its accessories if there is any suspicion of malfunction. Do not use the
equipment in situations or conditions that can cause personal injuries or material damage.
The rotational viscometer is not a flameproof or an intrinsically safe (ATEX) instrument. Therefore, it should
not be used in areas where there is an explosion risk.
Before using the viscometer, read and observe carefully the following precautions:
Not following these instructions may cause serious harm or personal injuries.
To avoid an electric shock:
The socket by which the viscometer will be connected should have a ground. Verify that the voltage
and the frequency match with the specifications of the power supply. Before switching on the
equipment, 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.
