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.

Danger

Warni n g

Caution

Protection categories are explained and separated by the following symbols.

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.

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 touch the running, inner parts.
Keep appendages and loose clothing
away from running, moving parts.

Do not operate in areas where explosive
gases or vapors may be present.

Caution

Fix object surely.
There is the possibility of damage.

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

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

Do not install in a high humidity
environment or near where water may be
present. Electric shock may occur if water
is encountered.
Never carry or move the FGS-VC with the
AC code.

There is the possibility of electric shock, a fire and
injury.

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.

Attention Safety

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.

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.

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.

5.3. Manual operation mode

The manual operation modes are MANU, JOG, SING and CONT.
The mode is selected by the measurement purpose and the usage.

MANU mode

5.3.1. MANU mode

This mode of operation is ideal for manually recording force measurements. The test stand will only operate
between the limits that are set by the test stand user. These are manually adjusted distance limits.
Contents
The test stand will move in the downward or upward direction when the respective PUSH or PULL button is
selected. The stand will continue to move in the selected direction until one of the following occurs: STOP
button is pushed, one of the limit stop switches is tripped or the emergency reset button is pushed.

JOG mode

SING mode

CONT mode

When pressing the PUSH (PULL) key, FGS-VC goes to PUSH (PULL)
limit switch position.
FGS-VC stops if reaching the limit position.

This mode of operation is identical to MANU, except that the movement
in any direction will only occur while either the PUSH or PULL key is
depressed.

Pressing PUSH or PULL keys, FGS-VC moves for one complete cycle
between mechanical distance limit stops.

Pressing PUSH or PULL keys, FGS-VC moves repeatedly up and down
between the mechanical distance limit stops.

5.4. Program operation mode

5.4.1. PROG mode

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
jump to next point operation.
