5.1 MANU (Manual Mode)
The MANU (Manual 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 may
be manually adjusted distance limits or programmed Force Limits when using a Shimpo FGV-X or
FGV-XY force gauge. (If using a Shimpo model DFS force gauge, see DFS Force Limit instructions
below)
Note: In this mode of operation, when using either a Shimpo “FGV-X” or “FGV-XY” or Shimpo
“DFS” force gauge, no RS232C output is produced.
MANU (Manual Mode): The test stand can display Length or Speed. You may display Length
by pressing the “LENGTH/SPEED” button until the LED adjacent to the indicator “LENGTH” is
illuminated. To display Speed, push the “LENGTH/SPEED” button until the LED adjacent to the
indicator “SPEED” is illuminated.
Distance Limits: Manual
To manually adjust distance limits, partially unscrew each of the two knobs on the metal plates that
control the test stand (force gauge) platform movement from side to side. IMPORTANT: Adjust the
right knob to set the left distance limit and the left knob to set the right distance limit. Tighten the
knobs after the limits are set.
Limit switch knobs
located on the side of
the drive assembly.
Make sure the correct limit knobs are set for right and left distance limits. The distance limit switches
engage and stop the test stand (force gauge platform) when the left distance limit is set with the RIGHT knob
and the right distance limit is set with the LEFT knob.
