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.

The 1x cycles are designed to be self-powered and do not require an external power supply source to
operate. Without an 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 (1xe), the TV power requirements are included in the unit. An RG6

quad shield coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression ttings 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, the TV power requirements are separate.

NOTE: All units with Virtual Active™ must be powered.

110 V UNITS

All Matrix 1x 110 V cycles 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 conguration as the plug. No adapter should
be used with this product. These cycles 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 1x 220 V cycles 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 conguration as the plug. No adapter should
be used with this product. These cycles 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.

ENERGY SAVING / LOW-POWER MODE

All units are congured with the ability to enter into an energy saving / low­power mode when the unit has not been in use for a specied 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

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. 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 conguration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this
product. An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression ttings will need
to be connected between the video source and each add-on PCTV unit.

ADD-ON DIGITAL TV

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

plug provided with the product. If it will

not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied 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.

Failure to follow these specications can cause damage to your product and can void the warranty:

• All video and power outlets must be functional the day of delivery / assembly of the product. The

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

LOCATION OF THE UNIT

Place the equipment on a level and stable surface away from direct sunlight.
The intense UV light can cause discoloration on the plastics. Locate your
equipment in an area with cool temperatures and low humidity. Please
leave a clear zone on both sides of the equipment that is at least 24”
(600 mm). This zone must be clear of any obstruction and provide the
user a clear exit path from the machine. Do not place the equipment in
any area that will block any vent or air openings. The equipment should
not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors.

LEVELING THE EQUIPMENT

The equipment should be level for optimum use. Once you have
placed the equipment where you intend to use it, raise or lower one
or both of the adjustable levelers located on the bottom of the frame.
Use 6mm hex key through the access hole (shown below).

A carpenter’s level is recommended.
NOTE: There are only two levelers on the equipment.

WARNING!

Our equipment is heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when
moving. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.

POWER

If the equipment is powered by a power supply, the power must be plugged
into the power jack, which is located in the front of the equipment near the
stabilizer tube. Some equipment has a power switch, located next to the power
jack. Make sure it is in the ON position. Unplug cord when not in use.

PROPER USAGE

To determine proper seat position, sit on the seat
and position the ball of your foot on the center of the
pedal. Your knee should bend slightly at the furthest
pedal position. You should be able to pedal without
locking your knees or shifting your weight from side
to side. Adjust pedal straps to deisired tightness.

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device.
While heart rate grips can provide a relative estimation of
your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when
accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including
those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an
alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist
strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may
affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate
reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.

PULSE GRIPS

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars.
Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. It

takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate

to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly.

Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep

a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if
consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean
the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER

When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate
can be transmitted wirelessly to the unit and displayed on the console.

Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber
electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and
properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose,
or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.

WARNING!

Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in
serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.
