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 top to bottom.
IMPORTANT:
Limit switch knobs are located on the side of the drive assembly. The distance limit switches engage and stop
the test stand (force gauge platform) when the upper distance limit is set with the lower knob and the lower
distance limit is set with the upper knob.
