Section One - Things you Should Know

Right, Left, Front, and Back Conventions

In this manual, right, left, front, and back are from the perspective of a user standing on the C576i facing the display enclosure.

General System Information

 The generator performs three functions in the EFX. First, by controlling the amount of electrical load applied to

internal battery. Lastly, one of the generators six phase output windings is monitored to determine when the unit is in use and when it is idle. This system also determines the stride rate by determining the operating speed (output frequency) of the monitored generator winding.

Warning and Caution Statements and General Safety Guidelines

Warning statements indicate a particularly dangerous activity. Warning statements you will find in this manual include:

 If the EFX has been in recent use, the load resistors and load resistor mounting bracket may be extremely hot.

 Because this is a self powered unit, it will either be necessary to either equip the unit with the optional external

power supply or have an assistant pedal on the unit while voltage measurements are being taken. Because of the danger of working on the unit while it is in motion using the optional external power supply is strongly recommended.

 When the unit is used, stairarms are in motion; the generator will operate and produce potentially hazardous

voltages even when the battery is disconnected.

 To remove power from the EFX, the optional external power supply (when equipped) must be disconnected

from the wall outlet and the red (positive) lead must be disconnected from the battery. Always ensure that the EFX external power supply is unplugged from the wall outlet and the red (positive) lead is removed from the battery when you inspect or adjust the EFX, or when you isolate, remove, or replace an EFX component.

 Removing the covers exposes high voltage components and potentially dangerous machinery. Exercise extreme

caution when you perform maintenance procedures with the cover(s) removed.

 During service operations you will be very close to moving machinery and voltage bearing components. When

you perform maintenance procedures with the covers removed, remove jewelry (especially from ears and neck), tie up long hair, remove neck ties, and do not wear loose clothing.

 Exercise caution when touching any wire or electrical component during EFX operation.

Page 2

EFX 885, 835, 825 Service Manual 20039-166

 A pinching hazard exists when the unit is operated by turning the crankarms by hand. It is possible to seriously

pinch a finger between the crankarm and stairarm. The stairarms should be removed before operating the crankarms by hand. Caution statements are intended to prevent damage to the EFX as a result of the current activity. Caution statements included in this manual are listed below.

 When it is necessary to lift or move the EFX, ensure that the EFX has adequate support and that you use proper

lifting techniques.

Safety guidelines you should know and follow include:

 manual and follow all operating instructions.

 Operate the EFX on a solid, level surface. Visually check the EFX before beginning service or maintenance

operations. If it is not completely assembled or is damaged in any way, exercise extreme caution while operating and checking the EFX.

 When operating the EFX, do not wear loose clothing. Do not wear shoes with heels or leather soles. Check the

soles of your shoes and remove any embedded stones. Tie long hair back.

 Do not rock the unit. Do not stand or climb on the handlebars, display enclosure, or cover.

 Do not set anything on the handlebars, display enclosure, or cover. Never place liquids on any part of the EFX,

while performing service.

 To prevent electrical shock, keep all electrical components away from water and other liquids.

 Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer-such attachments might

cause injuries.

Troubleshooting 3.20- P80 - Black Screen TV Only

Description

The console interface and the fitness equipment operates normally when using workout programs, but TV channels only display as a black screen and audio is not present.

Possible Causes

1. There is no TV signal to the console a. External jumper cable is damaged or disconnected b. Coax cables inside the unit are damaged or disconnected c. All cables are good and connected but there is no signal at the drop

2. TV channel is not being received or is not a valid channel

3. USB cable connecting tuner to screen is loose or plugged in incorrectly

4. Media player has failed (software) a. Watchdog may or may not be recovering the media player automatically

5. There may be a software mismatch between the CPA and the MFE.

6. Tuner has failed (hardware).

Diagram 3.20.1

Page 37

EFX 885, 835, 825 Service Manual 20039-166

Possible Remedies

1. Check for video signal to the tuner a. Inspect jumper cables connecting fitness equipment to the video drop. If it is visibly damaged or

disconnected, replace or reconnect. If it passes visual inspection, swap with a known good. If TV channel now appears, the cable is the cause. Replace the jumper cable. If the channel does not appear, perform the same check on the F connectors.

b. Inspect the cable that runs from the patch panel at the bottom of the machine to the console. If this is

disconnected or damaged, reconnect or replace. If the cable passes visual inspection, use a known good cable to bypass this cable. If the TV channel appears, replace the coax cable running through the machine.

c. Connect the machine to a known good A/V drop. If the TV channel now appears on the console, verify

the drop is good. If not, have the customer contact their A/V service technician to repair the drop. Getting a signal strength reading can assist in diagnosing the video problem.

2. Verify on other machines that this is a valid channel. If a channel would appear as total snow or static (as on a

channel that is has no signal), then the console will display this as a black screen for that channel. If no

changed or something may be wrong with their head end.

a. If the lineup has changed, rescan to pick up the correct channel lineup. If other units in the facility also

have the incorrect lineup, you will need to export this new scan information to the other units.

3. Inspect the black USB cable running from the left side of the tuner to the USB jacks on the right side of the

console. The tuner cable must be plugged into the correct jack. If it is not plugged into the outermost jack (the one closest to you when looking at the back of the console) plug it into the correct jack. See Diagram 3.20.1

4. If the signal to the console is good and the TV screen has been black for more than 5-10 minutes, then the

watchdog is not able to recover the media player. If it is less than 5 minutes or so, the watchdog may still be trying to automatically recover the system.

a. This can be verified by looking in the Event Log. Messages that indicate a media reboot include:

Rebooting the meda , The mediaapp restart is near, i2c timeout, or The OMAP board was rebooted because the mpaqtapp was not running, though this is not inclusive of all possible messages.

b. Rebooting the machine will force the media player to reboot. If the TV channel appears after rebooting,

the issue was the media player. Verify all channels and operation of unit. If the channel is still black, then verify all other components are operational.

5. Some older versions of software can experience a bug where only one component reverts back to a different

image. If the old image is of a much older version of software, this could cause some communications problems between the CPA and the MFE. Open the Settings menu and select Reflashing. Check the version numbers in the CPA Reflashing and the MFE Reflashing menus to make sure they are the correct version numbers. If they are not or say <UNKNOWN>, then this bug may have occurred. Try rebooting the unit to see if it resolves the issue. If not, use the appropriate Reflashing menu to boot that component to the other boot image. Verify that the new image contains the correct software versions.

6. If the video signal can be verified up to the tuner, connect a known good signal directly into the mini-coax on the

tuner. If the channel lineup on the console has been confirmed correct, the signal is good, the unit has been rebooted, the software is correct on all components, and the screen is still black, the tuner has likely failed. Replace the entire console.

Troubleshooting 3.21- P80 - Black Screen Full Console

Description

Console displays only a black screen. Machine is unusable.

Possible Causes

1. Console has frozen

2. Console is attempting to boot to an image that has corrupted

3. Touch screen has failed

Possible Remedies

1. Reboot the machine to resolve any software freezing issues.

2. If the console is attempting to boot to a corrupted software image, when a reboot is performed, the CPA version number will scroll across the display of the machine controls, but the screen will remain black and will never reach the Precor splash screen. Perform a 7 Power Cycle (See Boot Screen Procedure below) to force the machine to revert to the backup image. When the unit boots successfully, reflash the unit with the correct software to ensure that the old, corrupted image has a usable image installed.

3. If the touch screen has failed, the entire console will need to be replaced.

Boot Screen Procedure

1. Turn the power off then back on. On treadmills, turn the on/off switch to the off position then back to the on position. On self powered units, disconnect the power source connected to the P80 console and then reconnect the power source.

2. Wait 15 seconds. It is critical that the timing be no less than 15 seconds and no greater than 45 seconds for the procedure to be successful.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for 6 additional power Off and On cycles.

4. On the last or 7th cycle leave the power connected or the power switch turned to the On position allowing the P80 console to boot up completely.

5. If the P80 console boot up to the Welcome screen was successful, go to step 6. If the P80 console still will not boot to the Welcome screen contact PRECOR customer support.

6. Reprogram the P80 console with the most current software package available. See Procedure 3.5, P80 Updating Software, for instructions on how to reprogram the P80 console.

Description

Television signal is present, but picture quality is consistently or inconsistently poor across all available channels.

Possible Causes

1. Loose or damaged coaxial cable

2. Poor television signal to the machine

3. Incorrect region setting in channel settings

Possible Remedies

1. Check for good video signal to the tuner. a. Inspect jumper cable connecting fitness equipment to the video drop. If it is visibly damaged or

disconnected, replace or reconnect. If it passes visual inspection, swap with a known good jumper cable. If a TV channel now appears, the cable is the cause. Replace the jumper cable. If the channel does not appear, perform the same check on the F connectors.

b. Inspect the cable that runs from the patch panel at the bottom of the machine to the console. If this is

disconnected or damaged, reconnect or replace. If the cable passes visual inspection, use a known good cable to bypass this cable. If the TV channel appears, replace the coax cable running through the machine.

c. Connect the machine to a known good A/V drop. If the TV channel now appears on the console, verify

the drop is good. If not, have the customer contact their A/V service technician to repair the drop.

d. Verify signal strength with signal meter.

Troubleshooting 3.24 - P80 Poor Quality Video One Channel(s) or Limited Channels

Description

One or a limited number channels on a unit has poor reception or no reception.

Possible Causes

1. Loose or damaged coaxial cable.

2. Poor television signal to the machine.

3. Incorrect channel scan lineup.

Possible Remedies

1. Check for good video signal to the tuner. a. Inspect jumper cable connecting fitness equipment to the video drop. If it is visibly damaged or

disconnected, replace or reconnect. If it passes visual inspection, swap with a known good jumper cable. If the TV channel now appears, the cable is the cause. Replace the jumper cable. If the channel does not appear, perform the same check on the F connectors.

b. Inspect the cable that runs from the patch panel at the bottom of the machine to the console. If this is

disconnected or damaged, reconnect or replace. If the cable passes visual inspection, use a known good cable to bypass this cable. If the TV channel appears, replace the coax cable running through the machine.

c. Connect the machine to a known good A/V drop. If the TV channel now appears on the console, verify

the drop is good. If not, have the customer contact their A/V service technician to repair the drop.

d. Verify signal strength with signal meter.

2. As above, verify condition and connections of coax cables as well as verify quality of signal to that drop. Verify

signal strength using a signal meter.

3. Rescan channels on that unit. This is less likely to be the problem if the channel is coming in poorly since if the

console is looking at the wrong channel number entirely, this should manifest as a black TV screen rather than poor video quality.

Troubleshooting 3.30 - P80 Poor Audio Quality All Channels, One/Limited Units

Description

While video signal is good to one or a few machines, the sound is of poor quality.

Possible Causes

1. Bad or damaged headphone jack

2. Bad or damaged headphone jack cable

3. Poor television signal to the machine

Possible Remedies

1. Remove and inspect headphone jack for damage. If jack passes visual inspection, swap headphone jack with known good.

2. Inspect cables from console to headphone jack. Verify that they are not damaged. If they are, these are not field-replaceable. Console will need to be swapped.

3. Check for good video signal to the tuner. Generally, however, if the issue is a cabling issue, the video will be bad along with the sound. However, if there is an issue with how the amplifier in the head end is configured, this could result in good video, but poor sound, though this is likely to be an issue across all units rather than a subset of the entire facility.

Troubleshooting 3.36 - P80 Unit reboots of its own volition

Description

Console fully reboots without any outside input, either during the boot process or while in operation.

Possible Causes

1. Power connections outside fitness equipment are loose or bad

2. Power connections inside fitness equipment are loose or bad

3. Faulty power supply

4. Facility power is not configured correctly.

5. Faulty console

Possible Remedies

1. Inspect power cord from wall plate to power supply (if non-Treadmill) or patch panel (if Treadmill). Verify all connections are tight and that there is no damage. Swap with known good cable, if appropriate. Inspect connections from power supply to patch panel (if non-Treadmill). Reconnect or replace all cables as needed.

2. Open the machine and inspect the power cord running from patch panel to console (if non-Treadmill) or from patch panel to power supply (if Treadmill). Swap with known good to test, if needed. On Treads, also check from power supply to console. Again, swap with known good to test.

3. Inspect power supply for damage. Swap with known good power supply to test. Replace, if needed.

4. Ensure that facility has configured their power correctly. About 8 non treadmill units can be connected through one dedicated circuit. Each treadmill must be on a dedicated, branch circuit. Neutrals and Hot Leads must not be shared among treadmills. If the power supplied to the machines is not up to specification, the customer will need to contact an electrician to make the needed repairs.

5. If the power, power supply, and power cabling are all good and securely connected, the console will need to be replaced.

Troubleshooting 5.12 P30 Troubleshooting Handheld Heart Rate

Circuit Description

The hand held heart rate system is actually a dual system, that is, it can accept a heart rate signal from either the hand

for hand held priority. That is, if both a chest strap and hand heart rate signal are being received, the system will accept the hand held signal and ignore the chest strap signal. If a hand held signal is not being received, the system will accept the chest strap signal.

Note:

There are four typical failure modes for the hand held/chest strap heart rate system. They are: hand held is normal no chest strap reading; no hand held reading - chest strap normal; no hand held or chest strap reading or constant or intermittent readings when neither hand held or chest strap are in use.

Diagram 5.12.1 - Hand held/chest strap heart rate PCA

Normal hand held reading - No chest strap reading

1. Access the diagnostic program (Procedure 5.1). Advance to the heart rate display portion of the diagnostic program. Verify that a chest strap signal is not being accepted with either a Polar heart rate test transmitter or a known good chest strap transmitter. If this reading is good, skip to step 3.

2. Using a known good Polar heart rate chest strap, verify that the heart rate operates with the known good chest strap. If the known good Polar chest strap does correct the problem, replace the original chest strap transmitter.

3. If the above procedures did not correct the problem, replace the heart rate PCA.

Page 88

EFX 885, 835, 825 Service Manual 20039-166

No hand held reading - Normal chest strap reading

4. Access the diagnostic program (Procedure 5.1). Advance to the heart rate display portion of the diagnostic program. Verify that a hand held signal is not being accepted by firmly grasping both the right and left hand held contacts on the handlebars. Cover as much of the top and bottom contact surface area with your hands as possible (without moving your hands), you should receive a heart rate reading within ten seconds.

5. If the hand held signal is now being accepted, something in the near vicinity is radiating RF (radio frequency) energy that is being received by the chest strap portion of the heart rate PCA.

6. If a hand held signal still not being accepted, skip to step 8.

7. Replace the heart rate PCA with a 300812-101 (or higher) heart rate PCA. 300812-101 and higher versions of heart rate PCA are less susceptible to radiated RF energy.

8. Access the diagnostic program (Procedure 5.1). Advance to the heart rate display portion of the diagnostic program. Verify that a hand held signal is not being accepted by firmly grasping both the right and left hand held contacts with the opposite hands, right hand on the left handlebar contacts and left hand on the right handlebar contacts. Cover as much of the top an bottom contact surface area with your hands as possible, you should receive a heart rate reading within ten seconds. If a hand held signal is still not being accepted, skip to step 10.

9. If a hand held signal was accepted in step 8, the hand held contact wiring is reversed. The harness that connects to the hand held contacts in the handlebar is segregated into two groups. One group has blue shrink wrap around it and the other group has black shrink wrap around it. The blue group must go to the right hand contacts and the black group must go to the left hand contacts. If necessary, rewire the hand held contacts as described above and test as described in step 4.

10. If the wiring is correct, refer to Diagram 5.12.1 for the following measurements. With an ohmmeter measure between the lower right contact pin on the J1 connector and the lower right hand held heart rate contact on the handlebar. The reading should be 1  or less. Measure between the upper right contact pin on the J1 connector and the upper right hand held heart rate contact on the handlebar. The reading should be 1  or less. Measure between the upper left contact pin on the J1 connector and the upper left hand held heart rate contact on the handlebar. The reading should be 1  or less. Measure between the lower left contact pin on the J1 connector and the lower left hand held heart rate contact on the handlebar. The reading should be 1  or less. If any of the above readings are greater than 1 , replace the heart rate PCA to handlebar wire harness.

Page 89

EFX 885, 835, 825 Service Manual 20039-166

No hand held reading - No chest strap reading

11. Access the diagnostic program (Procedure 5.1). Advance to the heart rate display portion of the diagnostic program. Verify that neither a chest strap signal or a hand held signal is being accepted with either a heart rate test transmitter or a chest strap transmitter.

12. Check the plug/connector connections on both the heart rate PCA (J4), and upper PCA (J1).

13. If neither a chest strap signal or a hand held signal is being accepted, measure between the ground and 5 Vdc pins on J4 for 5 Vdc. If 5 Vdc is present, replace the heart rate PCA.

14. If 5 Vdc is not present, remove the connector from J4 of the heart rate PCA. Measure between the ground and 5 Vdc pins of the connector (just removed from the heart rate PCA) for 5 Vdc. If 5 Vdc is present, replace the heart rate PCA. If the 5 Vdc is not present, measure between the corresponding pins of J1 on the upper PCA (red and black wires). If 5 Vdc is not present replace the upper PCA. If 5 Vdc is present, replace the upper PCA to heart rate PCA cable.

Constant or intermittent readings when neither the hand held or chest strap is in use.

1. Verify that a ferrite core is clamped around the heart rate PCA to upper PCA cable. Constant or intermittent heart rate readings when neither heart rate system is in use is caused by something in the near vicinity radiating RF energy that is being received by the chest strap portion of the heart rate PCA. Replace the heart rate PCA with a 300812-101 (or higher) heart rate PCA. 300812-101 and higher versions of heart rate PCA are less susceptible to radiated RF energy.

Troubleshooting 5.13 Upper Display does not Illuminate

1. Because this is self powered unit, the display will not illuminate until it is used or the optional external power supply is equipped. If the optional external power supply is equipped, the display should be constantly illuminated. If the optional external power supply is not equipped, the unit must be used at a stride rate of 20 strides per minute or higher for the display to illuminate.

2. If the optional external power supply is not equipped, skip to step 5.

3. Disconnect the optional external power supply from the EFX and measure between the inner and outer sleeves

4. If the voltage measured in step 3 was significantly low, replace the optional external power supply. If the voltage measured in step 3 was 0 Vdc, disconnect external power supply from its AC outlet and measure the voltage at the AC outlet. If the AC outlet voltage is normal replace the optional external power supply. If the AC outlet voltage is significantly low or 0 Vdc, the AC system must be inspected by an electrician.

5. Troubleshoot the generator per Procedure 9.2.

6. If the generator was found to be good, the problem will be in either the lower PCA, upper PCA or the upper to lower PCA interconnect cables.

Warning

Because this is a self powered unit, it will either be necessary to either equip the unit with the optional external power supply or have an assistant pedal on the unit while voltage measurements are being taken. Because of the danger of working on the unit while it is in motion using the optional external power supply is strongly recommended.

7. Remove the rear cover and disconnect the interconnect cable from the J2 connector of the lower PCA.

8. The following voltage reading must be taken while the unit is in motion. Extreme care must be taken to keep meter leads, hands, etc. clear of all moving parts. Using a DC voltmeter, measure the voltage between TP13 (+5D) and TP4 (DGND). Refer to Diagram 5.13.1. The voltage measured should be approximately 5 Vdc. If the voltage is significantly low, replace the lower PCA. Additionally, the DS1 LED should illuminate.

9. Reconnect the interconnect cable to the J2 connector of the lower PCA and repeat the voltage measurement in step 8. The voltage measured should be approximately 5 Vdc. If the voltage is significantly low, the problem is in the upper PCA or the upper to lower PCA interconnect cables.
