Printer Connection

The KU-1+ is equipped with a parallel printer
port located on the side of the instrument allow-
ing printing with a parallel printer. A standard
parallel printer cable (25 pin, Type D Centronics,
available from Brookfield as part number CAP-
86) is used to connect the viscometer to the
printer.

When connected to a printer, the KU-1+ will
print one line of data each time the "Hold Read-
ing" switch is moved to the down position.

The data line includes the viscosity (in Krebs
Units) and the associated weight (in grams):

715g

125.9KU

Dashes in the printout indicate an "over-range"
condition or that the handle has risen to the top position (i.e. the spindle is not rotating):

- - - - g

- - - . - KU

Note:

When connecting the ca ble to the KU-1+, THE PRINTER POWER (AC mains) SHOULD
BE "OFF"!
