1.0 Features and Beneﬁ ts

Shimpo’s FGS-100PXH (standard speed) and FGS-100PXL (low speed) Programmable Motorized Test Stand offers:

All steel construction which guarantees durability and stability for production, laboratory and quality 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. T 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: I 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 set-up) The FGS-100PXH/100PXL 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 front plate. Turn the button Clockwise to release.

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.
