Test Stand

Important Safety Instructions

• Position test stand on a level, heavy-duty and vibration

free table

• Confirm 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

• Ensure that AC power is removed from test stand before

making any adjustments

• If LED indicates drive assembly has been overloaded,

immediately turn the power switch to the off position and

remove the overload condition (wait at least two minutes

before reapplying power to the test stand)

Mounting Shimpo Force Gauges

With the 5mm Allen wrench, remove the mounting plate from

the test stand. For the FGE/FGV series use four M4 x 8 mounting

screws (supplied with stand) when mounting force gauge to

mounting plate. When mounting DFS series use three M5 x 6

screws (supplied with stand) to mount force gauge to mounting

plate. Reinsert mounting plate to test stand.

NOTE: Nearly all manufacturers' gauges are compatible with

the FGS-50PXH and FGS-50PXL when used in conjunction with

the optional UNI-Plate.

Features and Benefits

Shimpo's FGS test stands are designed for a variety of tensile

and compression force testing (up to 110 pounds) and feature:

• All steel construction guarantees durability and stability

for production, laboratory and quality control applications

• Dual speed controls are optimally positioned to adjust test

and return travel rates of the drive assembly

• Drive assembly accepts an optional universal mounting

plate, enabling the interfacing of a large selection of force

gauge models (contact Shimpo for specific models)

• 4½ digit LED display indicates displacement or rate of

the drive assembly

• Analog output (labeled “Length Out”) is convenient for

data acquisition requirements

Set-Up

1. Plug in line cord and turn on power switch located on rear

of stand. All display segments and LEDs will execute a

power-up self test for two seconds. After the self test, the

4-digit display defaults to length which is displayed in

inches (0.00).

2. Metric units (mm) can be obtained by changing a dip

switch. The dip switches to control the measurement units

(switch #1) or the home position (switch #2) are located at

the top of the cutout for the cable ports in the side of the

stand (see page 2, display panel diagram, #27). It is possible

to raise and lower these switches using a small instrument

(such as a mini screwdriver). The stand must be reset

(turned off and on) whenever one of these switches is

changed.

NOTE: When dip switch #1 is in the up position, the stand will

display inches (0.00); when in the down position, it will display

millimeters (00.0). When dip switch #2 is in the down position

the upper manual limit switch is the home location. When in the

up position the lower manual limit switch is the home position.
