Failure to do so may cause premature electronic failure.

CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. READ OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE USE.

DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO

A “Dedicated Circuit” means that each outlet you plug into should not have anything else running on that same circuit. The easiest way to verify this is to locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a time. Once a breaker has been turned off, the only thing that should not have power to it are the units in question. No lamps, vending machines, fans, sound systems, or any other item should lose power when you perform this test.

Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must have an individual neutral/ground connection coming from it, and terminating at an approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

For your safety and to ensure good unit performance, the ground on this circuit must be non-looped (isolated). Please refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Any alterations to the standard power cord provided could void all warranties of this product.

For units with an integrated TV (7xe and 7xi), the TV power requirements are included in the unit. An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings on each end will need to be connected to the cardio unit and the video source. Additional power requirements are not needed for the add-on digital TV. For units with an add-on PCTV (5x), the TV power requirements are separate.

110 V UNITS

All Matrix 3x, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 110 V Climbmills require the use of a 100-125 V, 60 Hz and a 15 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 5-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. These Climbmills can be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per 15 A dedicated circuit. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The unit must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The unit is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If the user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could void the Matrix limited warranty.

220 V UNITS

All Matrix 3x, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 220 V Climbmills require the use of a 216-250 V, 50 Hz and a 15 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 6-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. These Climbmills can be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per dedicated 15 A circuit. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.

ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL INFO

In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet that will have the maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from the circuit breaker box to each outlet, is 100 ft (30.5 m) or less, then 12 gauge wire should be used. For distances greater than 100 ft (30.5 m) from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, a 10 gauge wire should be used.

ENERGY SAVING / LOW-POWER MODE

All units are configured with the ability to enter into an energy saving / low-power mode when the unit has not been in use for a specified period of time. Additional time may be required to fully reactivate this unit once it has entered the low-power mode. This energy saving feature may be enabled or disabled from within the ‘Manager Mode’ or ‘Engineering Mode.’

ADD-ON PCTV (3X & 5X)

A 15 A or 20 A “Dedicated Circuit” with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground is required. Each PCTV requires at least

1.2 A of current (either from 110 V or 220 V). No more than 12 PCTVs should be used for each 15 A circuit and no more than 16 PCTVs should be used for each 20 A circuit. The power outlet should have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings will need to be connected between the video source and each add-on PCTV unit.

ADD-ON DIGITAL TV (3X & 5X)

Additional power requirements are not needed for the add-on digital TV. An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings will need to be connected between the video source and each add-on digital TV unit.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING

Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.

Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working properly. Never operate any product if it appears damaged, or has been immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for replacement or repair.

WARNING:

 All video and power outlets must be functional the day of delivery / assembly of the product. The client is responsible

for any additional installation charges associated with return visits.

 Electrical supply may fluctuate in your area. To ensure stable performance of the product, use the proper gauge wire.

Failure to follow these specifications can cause damage to your product and can void the warranty.

CLIMBMILL ASSEMBLY

WARNING

There are several areas during the assembly process that special attention must be paid. It is very important to follow the assembly instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are firmly tightened.
