Pull out the AC outlet for maintenance and check or unusing a long time.
Do not plug AC connector into outlet by a wet hand.
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.
When digital force gauge FGP/FGPX series is installed
Avoid the following. Note drawing the cable so that the force gauge
cable should not narrow in the slide.
Install the force gauge after turning off the power
switch.
Adjust the limit switches when the motor stops.

4.2. Connection to the force gauge and the stand
The connection and confirmation between FGS-VC and a force gauge is the following procedure.
Set the following parameters.
Measurement polarity: +
RS232C baud rate: 19,200 bps
Refer to the manual of the force gauge.
Display of FGS-VC as follows:
1. Indicate "FGS-100VC" or "FGS-250VC".
2. Indicate "MANU"(Manual Mode)
If the connection is wrong,
Indicate "NO FORCE GAUGE" in 3 seconds, then
indicate "MANU".
Connect the force gauge to FGS-VC by the
attached cable.
Turn on the power of the force gauge.
Next, turn on FGS-VC in the power switch of back.
If the connection is wrong, check:
Is the parameters setting of the force gauge correct?
Is the sequence of power on correct?
Is the cable correct?
If no problem, please ask to our technical support.
