Operating and Maintaining the P20 Console

Chapter 1

Getting Started

The P20 console offers administrators and members the ability to set defaults that meet their specific needs.

Activating the Console for Self-Powered Equipment

Precor equipment is either self-powered or externally powered using an optional power adapter. Self-powered equipment requires the user exercise to initialize the console. This section provides more detail about powering equipment.

Activating the Console for Self-Powered Equipment

On self-powered equipment, when a user starts exercising, the console initializes and displays the Welcome banner. A minimum rate of motion must be maintained for the Welcome banner to appear. The words PEDAL FASTER (or the equivalent message depending on the equipment type) appear in the display when the rate of motion drops below the minimum requirements.

The equipment saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode. If the user does not maintain the minimum rate of motion, a 30-second shutdown process begins.

In this mode, the console displays a countdown indicator and ignores all keypresses. If no movement is detected or the rate of motion remains below the minimum, the indicator changes as the countdown continues.

Note: The user can resume exercising before the countdown period elapses and the program will continue from the point at which it was paused.

14

Operating and Maintaining the P20 Console

Optional Use of the Power Adapter

An optional AC power adapter provides sustained power to the equipment. This adapter allows you to change settings without having to pedal the equipment. To purchase the power adapter, contact your dealer.

If you purchase the optional power adapter, you must also purchase the internal cable kit. The kit supplies the cable, bracket, and fasteners that connect the power adapter to the lower electronics board.

CAUTION: The internal cable kit must be installed by authorized service personnel. Do not attempt installation on your own as you could void the Precor Limited Warranty. For more information, refer to Obtaining Service.

Important: If this equipment includes a P80 console, the optional power adapter and the internal cable kit must still be installed to provide continuous power to the base unit and support its internal battery.

Once the internal cable kit is installed, you can plug the optional power adapter into the equipment. Plug the opposite end into the appropriate power source for your equipment (120 V or 240 V). Review the safety instructions found at the beginning of this manual before using the power adapter.

CAUTION: When the optional power adapter is in use, make sure that the power supply cord does not create a safety hazard. Keep it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the power supply cord or power conversion module is damaged, it must be replaced.

The control console functions differently when the power adapter is connected. Because the power adapter provides a constant source of power, a user can pause for brief periods without initiating shutdown procedures. When the pause time limit expires and the user has not resumed exercising, the console returns to the Welcome screen. The default pause time is 30 seconds for all fitness equipment. Refer to the manual for your control console for instructions on setting or changing the pause time limit.

Chapter 2

Setting Up the Console

Use the System mode to configure settings in ways that benefit your users and your facility. The System menu is visible only to administrators and registered service technicians. Changes made to these settings are saved to the fitness equipment.

Chapter 3

Introducing Users to the P20 Console

CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician for a thorough physical examination. Seek advice from your physician to learn the target heart rate appropriate for your fitness level.

The P20 console offers an easy-to-follow display and multiple programs to help people meet their exercise needs. The sensitive keypad lets them select data and control their workout session and SmartRate® provides a visual aid that monitors heart rate and workout intensity at a glance.

Important: Please review the following sections in this guide with your users before allowing them to use the fitness equipment:

Important Safety Instructions

Getting Started

Using the Safety Clip (for treadmill only)

Using the Touch Heart Rate Feature

Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors. You may experience an erratic readout if your hands are dry, dirty, or oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially thick. Wearing hand lotion can also cause an erratic readout. In addition, make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

Operating and Maintaining the P20 Console

To use the touch heart rate feature, place the palm of your hands directly on the metal heart rate sensors on the equipment’s handlebars. To ensure a more accurate heart rate readout, make sure you follow these tips:

Both hands must grip the sensors for your heart rate to register.

It takes a number of consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register.

When gripping the sensors, do not grip tightly. Keep a loose, cupping hold. Holding the grips tightly can affect the reading.

As you work out, your perspiration will help transmit your heart rate signal. If you have difficulty using the handheld grips to determine your heart rate, try the sensors again later in the workout to see if you can obtain a heart rate signal.

If the touch heart rate feature does not work for you, Precor recommends that you use a chest transmitter strap.

Figure 5: Heart rate target zones

CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is equal to 220 minus your age.
