III.2 Signal Output
The signal output option includes parallel printer interface and analog voltage using a 25 pin, Type
D (male) connector (Brookfield Part No. KU-1C) as follows:
0 - 5 Volt DC Analog Voltage:
Gram output: 4 mV/gram
KU output: 20 mV/KU
Range, KU: 0 - 144
Range, gm: 0 - 1,095
Resolution, KU: 1
Resolution, gm: 5
Interface pin outs: pin 18 voltage
pin 19 ground (earth)

25 GND
The printer will print the Krebs Units or grams depending on the position of the selector switch (e.g. “96
KU” or “745 gm”). A series of dashes (“- - - KU”) indicates an overrange condition.
The output connector is located on the left side of the viscometer cover.
III.3 Paste Spindle
The paste spindle is similar to the Krebs paddle-type spindle. The design consists
of offset rod-type vanes, approximately 2 mm diameter x 19 mm long. This
spindle is suitable for use with high consistency materials such as roller mill
pastes. Do not use this spindle to report normal Krebs Unit measurements.
