1.0 Features and Benefi ts
Shimpo’s FGS-100PVH (standard speed) and FGS-100PVL (low speed) Programmable Motorized
Test Stand offers:
All steel construction which guarantees durability and stability for production, laboratory
andquality control applications.
Programmable FORCE and Distance (length) limits.
Dual speed controls are optimally positioned to adjust test and return travel rates of the drive
assembly.
Drive assembly accepts a universal mounting plate, enabling the interfacing of a large
selection of force gauge models (contact Shimpo for specifi c models).
4½ digital LED display indicates displacement rate and distance of the drive assembly.
Analog output (10mV/mm) is convenient for data acquisition requirements.(used with)
FGS-ANALOG cable.

2.0 Important Safety Instructions
Read this section carefully before initial set up.
Position test stand on a level, heavy-duty table.
Confi rm that the test stand case is properly grounded to the AC line.
Keep hands, hair and jewelry away from stand when drive assembly is in motion.
Operate the membrane keypad with care. Do not use sharp objects that may puncture the
overlay.
Always wear eye protection when testing materials.
Do not store or use in oily, dusty, humid or wet areas.
Ensure that AC power is removed (off) from test stand before making any adjustments.
If ALARM LED indicates drive assembly has been overloaded, immediately switch the power
switch to the off position and correct the overload condition. Wait at least two minutes before
restarting the test stand.
3.0 Set up Procedures
1. Connect all the necessary cables and AC cord before applying power to the test stand.
IF communication between the force gauge and test stand is desired, using an FGV-X or
FGV-XY force gauge, use cable part number FGV-FGS250PV to connect the force gauge
to the test stand.
IF communication between the force gauge and test stand is desired, using a DFS force
gauge, use cable part number FGS-50PCABLE to connect the force gauge to the test
stand.
2. If communication between the force gauge and test stand is desired, turn on the force gauge
before turning on the test stand; this is necessary for the test stand to recognize the connected
Shimpo force gauge.
3. The power switch for the test stand is located on the rear of the unit. After power is applied, all
the segments and LED’s will execute a power up and self test. After the self test, the test stand will
display 0.00 (inches - English) or 0.0 (mm – metric).
NOTE: If after power up, the test stand takes longer to initialize and a “no_F” display is observed from the
display, check the (force gauge to test stand) cable, FGV-FGS250PV, and the baud rate setting for the FGV-X
or FGV-XY force gauge (19200 baud). (See your force gauge manual for baud rate communication and setup). The FGS-100PVH/100PVL test stands communicate at 19200 baud with the Shimpo FGV-X and FGV-XY
force gauges. As noted above, if using a Shimpo DFS force gauge, (9600 baud max) use cable part number
FGS-50PCABLE, which provides DFS to test stand and PC communication capability.
NOTE: The FGS-50PCABLE cable incorporates a segment of cable that attaches to the test stand and
another that attaches to a PC.

4. Units of Measure: English or Metric
To switch from English to metric units, push the “Speed” and “RST” buttons while turning the power on. To
return to English units turn the stand off and push the “SPEED” and “Time/>” buttons while turning the
power back on.
AC Power cord and AC plug for the
Force gauge, located on the back of
the rear of the test stand.
Emergency Stop button located on
the side of the test next to the column.
Turn the button Clockwise to release.
Optional Part number FGS-Length-H
(length meter) sold separately.
Mounting brackets provided.
To identify whether the stand is in metric or English units, turn the power on. (power switch is
located in the back of the unit), Metric units will show one decimal place (0.0), while English
units show two decimal places (0.00) To change to metric units, push “A/SPEED/B” and “RST/^”
switches while turning the power on. To change to English units, push “A/SPEED/B” and “TIME/<”
switches while turning the power on.
Caution warning holds important safety information.
REMINDER: holds important keep information for the product.

Adjustment
You can easily adjust the clearance (the distance between the force gauge adapter and test sample)
by adjusting the drive assembly in six 30mm increments.
1. Position the test stand on its side with the cable ports facing up.
2. Loosen the three slot bolts, but do not remove them (this helps in sliding the test
stand motor position easily).
3. Remove the set bolt (bolt insert on the column) and adjust the drive assembly to
the desired clearance. Reinsert the bolt and tighten all the four bolts.
4. Allen bolts hold the drive assembly in place, use the 5 mm Allen wrench for
adjustments.
