EDIKUN Foot Switch FS2 Series Quick Start Guide for Windows

A. Introduction

(1) The FS2 series of EDIKUN foot switch that is developed, manufactured, and

marketed by Japan Ergonomics Inc. was developed in Japan. EDIKUN is our former company

name, but it will be used as the brand name for our foot switches and other products.

This foot switch can output keyboard keys, mouse clicks and pointer movement, and various

combinations of keyboard and mouse outputs. What is output when each pedal is pressed can

be set via an application (application software) running on a PC, and the settings are stored

in the memory in the foot switch.

The FS2 series includes five types, from type FS2P1 with one pedal to type FS2P5 with five

pedals.

(2) Each pedal is factory set to the following outputs. FS2P1 has the left mouse click.

FS2P2 has the Enter key on the left pedal and the left mouse click on the right pedal. FS2P3

has the Enter key on the left pedal, the left mouse click on the center pedal and the right mouse

click on the right pedal. FS2P4 has, from left to right, left arrow key, Enter key, left mouse

click, and right mouse click. FS2P5 has, from left to right, left arrow key, Enter key, left mouse

click, right mouse click, and right arrow key.

If you do not need to change these output contents, the following steps are not necessary.

Connect the foot switch to an appropriate USB port on your computer. After a short time, the

PC will recognize it and you can start using it.

Note that the standard driver (HID) in the PC is used, so there is no need to install a new

driver.

(3) Settings (programming) for each pedal can be done on Windows or Mac computers.

There are two types of settings: standard settings and advanced settings; an application for

Windows (application software) allows both standard and advanced settings.

The Mac app can be used up to standard settings, so a foot switch set in the Windows app can

be used on the Mac. Also, foot switches set in the Mac app can be used in Windows.

(4) This guide explains up to standard settings. For advanced settings, please refer to the

instruction manual below.
