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,
