• Solid all steel construction contributes to precision
movement
• English and metric units of measure ensure
adaptability to all testing requirements
Always wear eye protection when testing
materials.
Do not store in oily, dusty, humid or wet areas.
Position test stand on a level, heavy-duty 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 ALARM LED indicates drive assembly has been
overloaded, immediately press the emergency
stop switch. Reset the emergency stop switch,
reverse the direction of travel and turn the
power switch to the “off” position. Wait at
least two minutes before reapplying a load and
turning the power back on.
When programming forces in the continuous
mode, ensure that the force values are
programmed correctly (example: -5; Hi limit is
greater than -25; Low limit).

Set-Up
Connect all cables and power cords before applying
power to the test stand and force gauge. Apply power
to the force gauge before applying power to the test
stand; this is necessary so that the test stand will
recognize which Shimpo force gauge is being used.
To identify whether the stand is in metric or English units,
turn the power on (power SW is located in the back of
the unit); metric units will display one decimal place (0.0),
while English units display two decimal places (0.00).
To switch from English to metric units, push “SPEED” and
“RST/!” switches while turning the power on. To return
to English units, turn the test stand off, then push
“SPEED” and “TIME/$” switches while turning the power
back on.

Operation
There are five modes of operation: MANU (Manual),
JOG (Jog), SING (Single). CONT (Continuous) or
PROG (Program). The user can select one of these
modes by pressing the “MODE” button until the desired
mode of operation is illuminated.
It is possible to restrict the range of travel with manual
limits. To manually adjust distance limits, loosen each of
the two set screws holding the limit switch brackets; these
set screws/brackets prevent the force gauge or load cell
platform from traveling by activating internal limit
switches. Adjust the top set screw/bracket to set the
upper distance limit and the bottom set screw/bracket
to set the lower distance limit.
Setting a Force Limit
It is possible to set one force limit when using a Shimpo
DFS, DRI or FGV force gauge with the appropriate cable
and operating the test stand in the manual, jog, single,
and program mode. To program a force limit (when in
one of these modes), press the “SET” button on the front
panel display. Note that the display “No” box shows
“Fv”. The “F” and the two arrows inform the user that
he will be programming a force limit. Use the “TIME/#”
to change digit position and “RST/!” to increment each
digit until the desired limit force is displayed. Press the
“TIME/#” button until no digits are blinking. This allows
the user to select a negative sign by pressing the “RST/!”
button. With no negative sign displayed, the test stand
force limit is programmed as a compression force limit;
with the negative sign displayed, the test stand force
limit is programmed as a tension force limit. Press “SET”
to store the force limit in memory.
The manual, jog, and single modes share the same
programmed force limit.
Two force limits can be set when operating in the
continuous mode. The instructions for programming
two force limits are located in the Operation section under
CONT (Continuous) on page 7.
MANU (Manual)
Press “MODE” button until “MANU” LED is illuminated.
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 limits can be either manually adjusted (distance
limits) or programmed with force limits when a Shimpo
force gauge is used (see the “Setting a Force Limit” section
above for force limit programming details).
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: the
“STOP” button is pushed, one of the manual limit switches
is tripped, the emergency reset button is pushed or the
force limit is reached.
In this mode of operation the user can display length or
speed. Display length by pressing the “LENGTH/SPEED”
button until the LED adjacent “LENGTH” is illuminated.
To display speed, push the “LENGTH/SPEED” button until
the LED adjacent “SPEED” is illuminated.
NOTE: In this mode of operation, no RS232C output is
produced.
JOG (Jog)
Press MODE button until “JOG” LED is illuminated.
This mode of operation is identical to “MANU”, except
that the movement in any direction will only occur while
either the “PUSH” or “PULL” button is depressed.
See the “Setting a Force Limit” section (left) for force
limit programming details.
NOTE: In this mode of operation, no RS232C output is
produced.
SING (Single)
Press MODE button until “SING” LED is illuminated.
This mode of operation is ideal for completing one cycle
between manual distance limits and/or force limit. The
initial starting direction can be either in the tension or
compression direction depending on whether the “PULL”
or “PUSH” buttons are pressed.
See the “Setting a Force Limit” section (left) for force
limit programming details.
The test stand will move downward or upward after
automatically zeroing the force value of the Shimpo gauge
when the respective “PUSH” or “PULL” button is selected.
The stand will continue to move until one of the following
events occurs: the “STOP” button is pushed, one of the
manual limit switches is tripped, the emergency reset
button is pushed or the force limit is reached. If the stand
is stopped for any of these reasons, the gauge’s value will
be reset to zero once either the “PUSH” or “PULL” button
is pushed again to resume movement.
In this mode of operation, the user can display length,
speed or cycle count. Display length by pressing the
“LENGTH/SPEED/CYCLE” button until the LED adjacent
“LENGTH” is illuminated. To display speed, push the
“LENGTH/SPEED/CYCLE” button until the LED adjacent
“SPEED” is illuminated. Finally, to display cycle count,
press the “LENGTH/SPEED/CYCLE” button until there are
no LED’s illuminated. When the stand platform is moving
in the “down” direction, the LED next to “SPEED B” is
active; when the stand is moving in the “up” direction,
the LED next to “SPEED A” is active.
NOTE: An RS232C output is produced when using this
mode of operation; refer to “RS232C Output Format” on
page 9 for details.

7
CONT (Continuous)
Press “MODE” button until “CONT” LED is illuminated.
This mode of operation is ideal if the user wants the test
stand to repeatedly cycle up and down continuously or
for a user-programmed number of times. The stand will
start in either direction depending on whether “PUSH”
or “PULL” is selected.
To begin programming the test stand, press the “SET”
key; the display will indicate a “C” in the “No” box. The
“C” designates that the digits programmed into the
adjacent LED’s will determine the number of cycles (number
of times) a program will run. Using the “TIME/#” and
the “RST/!” buttons, select the number of cycles you
want the program to complete (0001-9999) or select four
“0’s” if you want the program to run continuously; press
“SET” to store the number of cycles.
The letter “Ft“ appears in the LED’s in the “No” box; this
informs the user that the upper force limit should be
programmed. Use the “TIME/#” and “RST/!” buttons to
select the desired force limit. Use “TIME/#” to change
digit position and “RST/!” to increment each digit until
the desired limit force is displayed. NOTE: Pressing the
“TIME/#” button until no digits are blinking allows the
user to select a negative sign by pressing the “RST/!”
button. With no negative sign displayed, the test stand
platform is programmed to move downward (this denotes
compression). With the negative sign displayed, the test
stand platform will move upward (this (-) denotes tension).
Press “SET” to store the upper force limit in memory. The
down arrow LED (Fu) will light indicating that the test
stand is ready to have its lower force limit programmed.
Program the force limit using the “TIME/#” and “RST/!”
buttons. Use “TIME/#” to change digit position and
“RST/!” to increment each digit until the desired limit
force is displayed. NOTE: The upper limit must be greater
than the lower limit (Fupper>Flower ; -5>-20). Again press
“SET” to store the lower force limit into memory.
You may delay the time between upward and downward
movements by selecting 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 seconds using
the “TIME/#” button. You may view distance traveled
by pressing “LENGTH/SPEED/CYCLE” until the LED
adjacent “LENGTH” is lit. Speed can be displayed by
pressing “LENGTH/SPEED/CYCLE” until the LED adjacent
“SPEED” is lit. Finally, the number of cycles completed
can be displayed by pressing “LENGTH/SPEED/CYCLE” until
no LED’s are lit.
The test stand will move downward or upward after
automatically zeroing the force value of a Shimpo gauge
when the respective “PUSH” or “PULL” button is selected.
The stand will continue to move until one of the following
events occurs: the “STOP” button is pushed, one of the
manual limit switches is tripped, the emergency reset
button is pushed or the force limit is reached. If the
stand is stopped for any of these reasons the gauge’s
value will be reset to zero once either the “PUSH” or
“PULL” button is pushed again to resume movement.
Length, speed or cycle count can be displayed as
described in the “SING (Single)” section on page 6.
NOTE: An RS232C output is produced when using this mode
of operation, refer to “RS232C Output Format” on page
8 for details.
PROG (Program Operation)
Press the “MODE” key until the LED adjacent to “PROG”
is lit.
NOTE: An RS232C output is produced when using this
mode of operation, see “RS232C Output” section on
page 9 for details.
Before programming the stand, it is best to get the two
speed levels set appropriately. One should be set for the
speed the user wants their test performed at and the
other should be set at the highest acceptable level to have
the stand moving when not performing the actual force
test (this is usually at the maximum the stand will allow).
To begin programming the test stand, press the “SET”
key; the display will indicate a “C” in the “No” box. The
“C” designates that the digits programmed into the
adjacent LED’s will determine the number of cycles
(number of times) a program will run. Using the “TIME/#”
and the “RST/!” buttons, select the number of cycles
you want the program to complete (0001-9999) or select
four “0’s” if you want the program to run continuously.
Press “SET” to go to the next step.
See the “Setting a Force Limit” section on page 6 for
force limit programming details.
The display in “No” box now shows “H”; the “H”
designates the home position. Select the “PUSH” or
“PULL” button to set the HOME position; press “SET”.
The test stand platform will automatically move to the
appropriate (manually set) distance limit position.
The display in “No” box now shows “F”; the “F” designates
the auto zero function. This function is only available
when using the FGV or DRI Shimpo force gauges. Use
the “TIME/#” and “RST/!” buttons to program the “zero”
force.
NOTE: The recommended minimum zero force that the
user should program into the test stand is 0.2% of the
full scale (rating of the force gauge), i.e. if the
programmer is using an FGV-200H force gauge, the
programmed “zero” force should be 0.4 lb (0.002 X 200
= 0.4). If no force is programmed in this step and the
display reads all zeros, the test stand will not zero the
distance and this feature is inoperative. Press the “SET”
button to move on to the next step. This very useful
function allows the operator to reset the distance display
and RS232 output data to zero once the force gauge
senses a force measurement.

8
The display in the “No” box now shows “t”, which
designates the tare function at “0” position. Select “on”
or “off” by pressing “RST/!” and press “SET”. The tare
function allows the use of fixtures/grips on the force
gauge and then setting the force gauge display to zero.
This function is useful as some fixtures/grips weigh more
than others and this function sets the display to zero
provided that fixture/grip does not weigh more than
50%* of the gauge’s capacity.
*NOTE: Shimpo recommends only taring approximately
20% of the gauge’s rated capacity; this guarantees that
the gauge’s full capacity will still be available for measuring.
The display in the “No” box shows “0”, and the “LENGTH/
SPEED/CYCLE” display shows “----”. The “0” designates
that the test stand begins each cycle from this position.
Using the “PUSH” or “PULL” buttons, adjust the test stand
to the position from which the force gauge will begin
force/distance tests. Select speed “A” or “B” (using the
“SPEED” button) at which the stand should return to
this zero position. A time delay (pause) up to 5 seconds
can be programmed between programmed points. Use
the “TIME/$” button to cycle through “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”,
“4”, “5” or “P”. If “P” is selected, the user must press
“PROG START” to restart the test stand program. Position
“0” is called the set point zero position; the test stand
will return to this position at the beginning of each
programmed cycle. The force gauge will also tell the
test stand to stop and return to set point 0 if a
programmed force limit is reached. If the force gauge
never reaches a programmed force limit, the test stand
will execute an entire cycle and return to the set point
zero position and then begin the next cycle. (To delete
an unwanted position press “RST/!”. Press the “SET”
key to move on to the next programming step.)
The display in the “No” box shows “1” and the “LENGTH/
SPEED/CYCLE” display shows “----”. The “1” designates the
next position of a cycle that the test stand will move to;
this position is defined as set point 1. Using the “PUSH” or
“PULL” buttons, move the force gauge to position 1. Ensure
that the correct LED adjacent the “SPEED A” or “SPEED B” is
illuminated so that the test stand will travel at the intended
speed. NOTE: If the programmed force limit is detected by
the force gauge, the test stand will not move through the
entire programmed distance and the force gauge will return
to set point zero. Press the “SET” key.
The display in the “No” box shows “2, and the “LENGTH/
SPEED/CYCLE” display shows “----”. The “2” designates
the next position of a cycle that the test stand will move
to; this position is defined as set point 2. Using the “PUSH”
or “PULL” buttons, move the force gauge to position 2.
Ensure that the correct LED adjacent the “SPEED A” or
“SPEED B” is illuminated so that the test stand will travel
at the intended speed. NOTE: If the programmed force
limit is detected by the force gauge, the test stand will
not move the entire programmed distance and the force
gauge will return to set point zero. Press the “SET” key.
The display in “No” box shows “3” and the “LENGTH/
SPEED/CYCLE” display shows “----”. Repeat these steps
outlined in the above paragraph up to a maximum of 5
points. If no additional steps are desired, press the
“SET” key while the “LENGTH/SPEED/CYCLE” display
shows “----” to store the program.
Run the program by pressing “PROG START” on the display
panel.
To reset the program memory, press and hold “RST/!”
and then press “SET”. The display will read “CCCC”.
Length, speed or cycle count can be displayed as
described in the SING (Single) mode of operation section,
page 6.
