Safety Precautions
Before Installation, Operation or Maintenance, be sure to read carefully this Operation Manual and use the
equipment as directed. Use the equipment after carefully reading all the caution items, safety information, and
other discriminations. In this User’s Manual, the Safety Awareness Items are divided into three different
categories: “Danger”, “Warning” and “Caution”.
Follow these precautions.
This symbol indicates if you ignore the contents mentioned and improperly
operate, it may lead to serious injury from a potential fire.
This symbol indicates a potential dangerous situation that could produce a
Serious injury if improperly handled.
This symbol indicates a potential situation that could produce a minor injury or
Damage to material if it is improperly handled. However, depending upon
the situation, there could be a possibility that it may cause more serious
results.
Prote ction categories are expla ined and sepa r a ted by the following s ymbols.
Proceed with Caution.
Not Allowed-Prohibited.
Mandatory-Must Follow
Warning
Heavy! Take sufficient care while
handling.
Ensure stand is placed on a flat, level,
stable surface that can support the unit.
Do not operate in areas where explosive
gases or vapors may be present.
Do not touch the running, inner parts.
Keep appendages and loose clothing
away from running, moving parts.
Caution
Fix object surely.
There is the possibility of damage.
Do not install in a high humidity
environment or near where water may be
present. Electric shock may occur if water
is encountered.
Hold power plug while removing the
power cord. Do not pull or put tension on
the cord. Doing so could result in cord
damage and electric shock
Never carry or move the FGS-VC with the
AC code.
There is the possibility of electric shock, a fire and
injury.
Danger
Warning
Caution
Warning
Disconnect from the AC outlet during any maintenance of the stand. Also, unplug when not
using for long periods of time.
May cause electric shock, a fire and injury.
Attention before using FGS-VC
Avoid the following.
Place where water, oil, or medicine may splash
Dusty locations
Places where condensation occurs
Places where explosive gases or ignition sources
are present.
Place where high vibration may occur
Places outside of operating temperature range.
32-104°F (0-40°C)
Cleaning with thinner and gasoline, etc.
Make sure the cable is not stuck in the stand.
Install the force gauge after turning off the power
switch.
Adjust the limit switches when the motor stops.
When digital force gauge FGV series is installed
Set "ovEr" in the F06 parameter, which is the parameter of Output Type.
If "ovEr" is not set, FGS-VC does not stop by the overload of the force gauge.
Confirm that the power supply is the
same voltage rating as the displayed
voltage rating on the unit
Do not plug AC connector with wet hand.
There is the possibility of electric shock.

This mode of operation is ideal if user wants to operate the test stand with complex programmed movements.
Even if the user does not know the length of the object, the accurate measurement is possible because the
function to detect the object to be measured is provided.
Contents
The programmed data consists of a condition setting, starting point, a method of detection of the object, five
measurement points and a method of return.
The test stand will start to move when START button is pressed.
The stand will continue to move until one of the following events occurs: the STOP button is pushed, one of the
mechanical limit switches is tripped, the emergency reset button is pushed or the overload of the force gauge
is detected. If the force limit of the condition setting is detected, the present operation is interrupted and it will
