Nidec FGS-VC Series User manual

FGS-VC Series Motorized Stand
Operation Manual
Read Manual thoroughly prior to operation.
Use instrument only after reading the complete manual.
Follow all safety precautions.
364-23-099-1

Safety Precautions
Be sure to read the entire instruction manual thoroughly before initial set-up, operation and maintenance.
The instruction manual provides three grades of safety precautions: ”Danger”, “Warning” and “Caution”.
Follow these precautions.
“Danger” marking indicates possible death, severe injury or fire
if the user disregarded.
“Warning” marking indicates possibility of a serious injury
if the user does not follow the instruction.
“Caution” marking indicates possibility of severe bodily or object damage
if operated improperly.
The mark indicates warning.
The mark indicates a prohibited operation.
When FGS-VC falls on your foot, it leads to
serious injury.
Execute this warning.

Heavy! Pay close attention to operation.
May cause electric shock, a fire and injury.
Avoid humid and place where water
splashed directly.
May cause damage or noisy.
Fix object surely.
May cause electric shock, a fire.
Do not use except AC 230V.
May cause damage or injury.
Keep hands, hair and jewelry away from
stand when drive assembly is in motion.
May cause electric shock, a fire and injury.
Do not pull out the AC outlet pulling the
code.
May cause electric shock, a fire and injury.
Never do carrying and the movement of
FGS-VC with the AC code.
May cause electric shock.
Do not plug AC connector into outlet by a
wet hand.
May cause damage or injury.
Never put fingers or insert stick, etc. in
drive assembly at measuring or adjusting.
Never use in oils and fats and the flammability
gas atmosphere, etc. with the ignition and the
explosion hazard.
Do not use in atmosphere with the ignition
and the explosion hazard.

Warning
Attention before using FGS-VC
May cause electric shock, a fire and injury.
Place where water, oil, and medicine splash
Dusty locations
Place where dewfall is generated
Place with ignition and explosion hazard
Place where vibration such as machines is received
Operate without 32-104°F (0-40°C)
Cleaning with thinner and gasoline, etc.
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.

No Name Description
Emergency switch
Emergency stops when pushing.
Push the switch when FGS-VC becomes abnormality or hazardous situation at
measuring.
Release the emergency stop to restart operation.
2 Speed key (up)
The moving speed becomes the maximum while pushing. The speed returns to
previous speed when releasing the key. The key is available at Manual and Jog.
4 MAX key
The moving speed is increase or decrease when pushing Up or Down key. If the
key keeps to push, the speed increases/ decreases continuously.

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.
