This Climb Mill is intended for commercial use. To ensure your safety
and protect the equipment, read all instructions before operating the
MATRIX Climb Mill.
When using an electrical product, basic precautions should always be
followed including the following:
• Anapplianceshouldneverbeleftunattendedwhenplugged
in. Unplugtheunitfromtheoutletwhennotinuseandbefore
puttingonortakingoffanyparts.
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 21021 and 210-23. Any alterations to the standard power cord provided could void all warranties of this product.
The 3x, 5x and 7xe
external power supply, the console’s start-up time may be delayed. Add-on TV’s and other console accessories will increase the time needed
for start-up. An external power supply will ensure power is provided to the console at all times and is recommended when add-on accessories
are used.
For units with an integrated TV (like the 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 (3x and 5x). For units with an add-on PCTV (3x and 5x), the TV power requirements are separate.
NOTE: ALL UNITS WITH VIRTUAL ACTIVE™ MUST BE POWERED!
Climbmills are designed to be self-powered and do not require an external power supply source to operate. Without an
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 bikes can be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per 15 A dedicated circuit.
Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.
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 bikes 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 equipment-grounding 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.
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.
North American power cord plugs shown.
Depending on your country, the plug type may vary.
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.

Fat burn - The Fat Burn program is a level based workout that is
designed to help users burn fat through various resistance changes.
tarGet Heart rate - The Matrix Climb Mill comes with
standard digital contact heart rate sensors and are POLAR telemetry
compatible. The heart rate control workout mode allows the user
to program their desired heart rate zone, and the Climb Mill will
automatically adjust the level based upon the user's heart rate. The
heart rate zone is calculated using the following equation: (220-Age)*% =
target heart rate zone. The user must wear a POLAR telemetric strap or
continually hold onto the contact heart rate grips for this workout.
Locate the metal sensors on the handlebars of the Climb Mill. Notice
that there are two separate pieces of metal on each grip. You must be
making contact with both pieces of each grip to get an accurate heart
rate reading. You can grab these sensors in any program to view your
current heart rate.
FITNESSTEST(WFI) - The WFI (Wellness Fitness Initiative)
protocol is a test used by firefighters in a series of intervals lasting a
maximum of 16 minutes, where the speed is increased every minute
until the Target Heart Rate is exceeded for 15 seconds. When the
test is complete, the display provides a summary of V)2max, Highest
SPM, Elapsed Time, and Target Heart Rate. The test requires constant
monitoring of the user's heart rate, so the use of a telemetric heart rate
strap is highly recommended.
FITNESSTEST(SUBMAXIMAL)- The Submaximal test
measures cardiovascular fitness and provides an estimated Sub-maximal
VO2 max result. This assessment is a 4 stage test lasting 3-5 minutes
