I.6 Safety Symbols and Precautions
Safety Symbols
The following explains safety symbols which may be found in this operating manual.
Indicates hazardous voltages may be present.
Refer to the manual for specic warning or caution information to avoid personal
injury or damage to the instrument.
Precautions
If this instrument is used in a manner not specied by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the instrument may be impaired.
This instrument is not intended for use in a potentially hazardous environment.
In case of emergency, turn off the instrument and then disconnect the electrical cord
from the wall outlet
The user should ensure that the substances placed under test do not release poisonous,
toxic or ammable gases at the temperatures to which they are subjected to during the
testing.
I.7 Printer Connection
The KU-2 is equipped with a parallel printer port located on the side of the instrument allowing
printing with a parallel printer. A standard parallel printer cable (25 pin, Type D Centronics, avail-
able from Brookeld as part number CAP-86) is
used to connect the viscometer to the printer.
When connected to a printer, the KU-2 will print
one line of data each time the "Hold Reading"
switch is moved to the down position.
The data line includes the viscosity (in Krebs
Units and centipoise) and the associated weight
(in grams):
xxxxgm xxxxxKU xxxxcP
51gm 46.6KU 120cP
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 - - - - cP
When connecting the cable to the KU-2, THE PRINTER POWER (AC mains) SHOULD
BE "OFF"!
