Lubrication
Use only synthetic lubricants such as Mobile 1 Synthetic grease or Super Lube with Teflon.
Use of unapproved lubricants, cleaners, or solvents may void the bike warranty.
CAUTION: Do not apply any lubricants or wax to the deck and belt. Do not use Wax
Blast, silicon sprays, or other applied lubricants. The use of these lubricants will quickly
degrade the low-friction surface of the deck.
CAUTION: Do not use petroleum based lubricants on mechanical components such
as the lift, as this may result in degradation of nylon gearing mechanisms. Use only synthetic lubricants such as "Super Lube with Teflon" or "Mobile One Synthetic" grease
(RED).
Use of unapproved lubricants, cleaners, or solvents may void the treadmill warranty.
Cleaning Solutions
Wipe down equipment with recommended cleaning solution. Use dry cloth to remove residue
solution.
l General: 1 oz. mild soap (Simple Green) to 30 oz. water.
l Console and PVS: a diluted solution of one part 91% Isopropyl alcohol to one part
water.
CAUTION: Do not use acidic cleaners and do not spray directly onto the equipment
It is required that the treadmill be connected to and operated on a dedicated 20 amp AC
branch circuit. A Dedicated Branch Circuit is defined as a circuit fed by a single circuit breaker
feeding a single load, with a single non-shared neutral providing a return line. A treadmill operating from a non-dedicated branch circuit or a circuit breaker of less than 20 amps capacity will
not have the necessary power to operate normally under higher load conditions.
120 Vac Systems
120 VAC distribution systems utilize a single pole circuit breaker (power lead) and a neutral
lead connected to a common neutral (ground) bar. The AC. safety ground (green wire) is connected to a separate ground bar in the distribution system.
If it is determined that any of the above electrical conditions are in question, please consult with
a qualified electrician to make appropriate circuit changes.
CAUTION: The treadmill requires a 20-amp individual branch circuit grounded per
NEC (National Electric Code) guidelines or local region electric code.
IMPORTANT: If the AC circuit feeding a treadmill is found to be a non-dedicated
branch circuit or a circuit equipped with a capacity of less than 20 amps, the AC circuit
must be corrected before any reliable Troubleshooting can be performed. More
importantly, a non-dedicated branch circuit may constitute a safety hazard to the treadmill operator .
Input Power
Nominal 120 VAC models
l Operating voltage: 90 VAC to 132 VAC.
l Frequency: 47 65 Hz
Nominal 240 AC Models
l Rated Operating voltage: 180 VAC - 264 VAC.
NOTE: An Internal operating voltage range of 180 – 275 VAC with reduced per-
formance is allowed.
l Frequency: 47-65 Hz
Frame Ground
For operator safety and to minimize electrostatic discharge conditions the AC frame ground
continuity must also be verified to be a low resistance connection to the AC distribution ground
bar.
WARNING: Only Precor certified servicers and technicians are permitted to service
Precor products. Personal injury can result from electrical shock and/or mechanical
moving parts.
Safety guideline you need to know and follow:
l Read and follow all Warning notices to protect yourself from personal injury.
l Read and follow all Caution notices to prevent damage to the equipment.
l Read the owner’s manual and follow all operating instructions.
l Operate the equipment on a solid, level surface.
l Visually check the equipment before beginning service or maintenance operations. If it
is not completely assembled or is damaged in anyway, do not attempt to operate the
equipment.
l Never place liquids on any part of the equipment while performing service.
l To prevent electrical shock, keep all electrical components away from water and other
liquids.
l Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer.
Non-OEM accessories can cause injuries.
l Do not stand or climb on the handlebars, display enclosure or cover.
l On 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.
l On ATM units when the stairarms are in motion; the generator will operate and produce
potentially hazardous voltages even when the battery is disconnected.
l On AMT units with Cardio Theater PVS units will have external power supply and
coaxial cable routed through the bottom of the unit to the top of the display console.
Cord management must be maintained
l On ATM units, a pinching hazard exists when the unit is operated. It is possible to ser-
iously pinch a finger. The AMT can be mechanically locked by inserting a screwdriver
through the primary sheave and frame.
l On treadmills, removing the hood exposes high voltage components and potentially dan-
gerous machinery. Exercise extreme caution when you perform maintenance procedures with the hood removed.
When servicing the equipment:
l During service operations you will be very close to moving machinery and voltage bear-

The Lift Motor calibration should be verified anytime the Lift Motor circuit breaker fails or is
replaced or any incline system component is replaced.
Procedure
Review entire procedure before starting.
1. Toggle the treadmill circuit breaker from OFF to ON. The treadmill will begin to autoreset the running deck incline to the 0% incline level "Home" position (This is the Lift
Motor calibration reference position).
WARNING:Be aware that switching power ON will cause the Lift Motor actuator to
auto-reset moving the incline actuator and platform. Keep clear of incline system
components.
2. Set the treadmill circuit breaker to OFF and disconnect the power cord.
3. Access the Lift Motor actuator tube in one of the following methods:
a. From the bottom by carefully laying the treadmill on its side
b. From the front by connecting power and raising the treadmill to maximum incline
and resting the frame base onto blocks securely placed under the front corners of
the frame (removes weight from the incline platform and Lift Motor actuator tube).
Switch power OFF and unplug the power cord.
4. Disconnect the actuator tube from the incline platform mounting bracket by removing
the hitch pin and clevis pin.
5. Set the actuator reference gap (distance between the top of the actuator tube (or nut) to
the bottom of the Lift Motor housing) to [[[Undefined variable General.TRM10ActuatorRefGap]]]. Firmly hold the jack screw from turning and rotate the
actuator tube to adjust the reference distance.
6. Re-Install the actuator tube into the incline platform mounting bracket. It may be necessary to slightly rotate the actuator tube to align the clevis pin mounting holes. Choose
the adjustment direction that will minimize the change to the actuator tube reference distance. Hold the jack screw from turning while adjusting the actuator tube.
7. Return the treadmill to the upright position or remove support blocks.
8. Level the Treadmill.
9. Install the hood.
10. Connect the power cord and set the treadmill circuit breaker to ON.

This section contains troubleshooting information to help you identify, isolate, and resolve component and system issues.
Troubleshooting issues is an investigative process that utilizes audio/visual cues, error code
information (if available), system/component troubleshooting procedures, and experience to
fix the problem.
Start by reviewing the “Introduction to Troubleshooting” topic which will give you a systematic
approach to resolving an issue.
Information to help troubleshoot issues
l System and Component Troubleshooting procedures
l Error Codes (see “Error Code Troubleshooting Guide”)
l Service Bulletins
IMPORTANT: Error Code description and Troubleshooting information is contained in
the
Error Code Troubleshooting Guide
, see Error Code Guide.pdf.
However, not all system issues will create an error code event. For these types of issues you
will use audible and visual indicators in conjunction with the Diagnostic Tests to troubleshoot
and resolve the issue.
Introduction to Treadmill Troubleshooting
Validate a customer reported issue:
Always validate and confirm a customer reported failed condition. The failure that is reported
may differ from your observations as a trained technician. Many reported failure are not true
failures and can be fixed without a customer visit. Make sure the unit power is connected and
switched ON. Question the customer about the issue for other possible simple solutions. After
confirming this is a real failure, continue with
fix the issue.
Basic Steps
Troubleshooting Basic Steps
to troubleshoot and
Review the entire
Troubleshooting Basic Steps
information before starting the troubleshooting
process. These steps are intended to help you systematically troubleshoot and fix treadmill failures.
l Verify input Power; always begin by verifying the input power is connected and
switched "ON". Also make sure the input power is within the specified power limits
("General Information" on page3). Poor quality, intermittent, or out-of-spec input power
will cause operational failures.
If the treadmill does not switch ON or trips the circuit breaker, see .Troubleshooting Tripped Breakers),
o
If the console does not power up, see Troubleshooting Console Power.
l Verify that the console is operating correctly. Run the Display, and Keypad diagnostic
tests (see "Hardware Validation - Diagnostic Tests (51765761)" on page13). Note any
failures.
NOTE:Keep in mind that if a key on the keypad does not function, the lower control
module will not receive a user initiated request for action. In this case the cause for
the failure would not be in the lower portion of the unit, and no errors will be logged.
l Check the Error Log ("Information Display (65)" on page18) to learn about any current
or past logged error code events. The error log history will often provide vital information
that will lead to the source causing the issue. Record all listed error log code information
and odometer reading. Then clear the error log by pressing and holding the "Quick
Start" key.
NOTE:Not all failures trigger an error code event. You will need to use the Diagnostic
Tests and audio/visual observation to identify the cause (component or system) of the
issue. Review the list of troubleshooting procedures for possible related issues and
troubleshooting information.
l Verify the issue. Run the unit in normal user mode to verify if the reported failure reoc-
curs, is a repeatable or intermittent type failure. Make note of any additional observations (noises, vibrations, etc.) that occur at the time of the failure.
NOTE: It is important to keep in mind that some issues are weight (load) related. You
may need to increase the exerciser weight to reproduce the failure.
l Verify the running belt speed and incline operation. Run the Belt, Incline, and Auto Stop
diagnostic tests, (see "Hardware Validation - Diagnostic Tests (51765761)" on
page13). Note any failures.
l Verify that the Club Settings are not causing the issue. If a failure is observed in user
mode but passes the hardware validation diagnostic tests, this could be an indication
that one of the club parameters has been incorrectly set.
l Return to the error log to verify all current error codes. This will verify if the original error
codes are reoccurring and if there are any new error code issues. Do not disregard the
original recorded error code/odometer information that was previously cleared. The
issue may be mileage related, review the odometer history to verify if the error event is
related to mileage intervals.
NOTE:If there is no logged error codes and the issue persists, you will need to use
observable and audible indicators to identify the source of the failure. Browse the list
of available troubleshooting procedures for related troubleshooting information.
l Verify if there are any related service bulletins that may fix this issue. If no service bul-
letin exists for this issue, continue with the troubleshooting steps for the system that is
failing (Power & Control, Drive Motor System, Incline System, Communication, Belt &
Deck, Auto Stop, or Heart Rate).
There is a set of standard error codes implemented across Precor exercise equipment. Error
codes are system generated error codes designed to detect and report fault conditions. Each
error code is associated with a particular system or component fault condition. The maintenance software monitors error code event conditions, when a fault is detected, the error
code is stored in the Error Log along with the event mileage, hours, and motor current.
Error code numbers range from 01 to 99. There are also a small number of alpha and alphanumeric codes. Most error codes are grouped into numeric ranges to help easily identify common system issues. However not all error codes follow these guideline. Refer to the Error
Code Troubleshooting Guide for a complete list of error codes and troubleshooting inform-
ation.
IMPORTANT: Error Code description and Troubleshooting information is contained in
the
Error codes are viewed in the service software Information Display Error Log (see "Error Log"
on page73). There are 2 methods to access the Error Codes:
l :"Error Log" on page73: Access the Information Display (6,5) and select Error Log.
l Quick Access: Press and hold the Reset/Pause key for a minimum of 6 seconds will
directly access the Error Log and show any stored error codes. If there are no stored
error codes, the STUCK KEY message will be shown.

This procedure will provide troubleshooting steps for the Auto Stop feature
Related Error Codes
Auto Stop error codes: 60, 61.
Refer to the Error Code Troubleshooting Guide for error code description and troubleshooting
information.
Procedure:
1. If the Console message is "Temporarily Out of Order" on the P80 console or "Please
use another Treadmill" on the P10, P20, or P30 console go
Tests
below.
2. Check the treadmill to ensure the Auto Stop hardware is installed.
l If the Auto Stop hardware is not installed, contact Precor customer support to see
if your treadmill is compatible for the Auto Stop or arrange the installation of the
Auto Stop hardware.
Run Hardware Validation
3. Verify that the Auto Stop cable is plugged into the correct port in the console. The connector for the Auto Stop is the same number of pins as the connector for the heart rate
grips, and you need to make sure that they were not reversed.
a. If the cables were reversed, swap the connectors and re-test.
b. If the cables were correctly connected, continue
4. If the Auto Stop hardware is installed, access the club settings and check if the Auto
Stop feature is enabled. If it is not enabled, enable the feature, see "Club Parameter -
Settings (5651565)" on page15.
Run Hardware Validation Tests
5. Access the service access software Hardware Validation Tests (see "Hardware Val-
idation - Diagnostic Tests (51765761)" on page13 and select the Auto Stop test. If the
feature is enabled the P80 Auto Stop sensor test will count the number of times the magnet crosses the sensor. The P10, P20, or P30 consoles will display USER DETECTED
if motion is detected from the running deck or NO USER DETECTED if no motion is
detected from the running deck. If the unit passes this test or a USER DETECTED message is displayed and the Auto Stop feature does not function contact Precor Customer
Support. If the Auto Stop did not pass the test continue troubleshooting.
CAUTION: Do not place the Auto Stop Magnet on or near a steel structure. If the
magnet assembly comes in contact with a steel structure and then pulled away from
the steel structure, the magnet can become dislodged from the magnet assembly
housing. Contact PRECOR customer service for repair or replacement.
6. The Auto Stop system consists of a magnet holder mounted to the right front corner of
the deck and a Hall Effect sensor mounted to the drive roller bracket of the frame.
Check the alignment and gap (3/16") between the Auto Stop magnet holder and the
Auto Stop sensor. If the alignment and gap are not correct, it may be necessary to
loosen the deck and adjust so that the magnet is gapped and positioned properly relative to the sensor. Reference Procedure, Replacing the Auto Stop Magnet. If the alignment and the gap between the Auto Stop magnet holder and the Auto Stop sensor are
correct continue with step 9.
7. The Auto Stop sensor will display a green blinking LED visible next to the connector,
indicating that power is being applied to the sensor board. The LED does not tell you if
the voltage is correct, just that it is present. If the LED is not lit or if LED is lit continue
with the next step.
8. The connector has 3 wires (red, black, and green), which can be metered for
troubleshooting. Unplug the Auto Stop connector from the Auto Stop Sensor.
9. Place the meter red lead to the red wire and black lead to the black wire of the Auto Stop
connector. The meter should indicate 5 volts +/- 0.1 volt. If 5 volts is present continue
with the next step.
10. If the 5 volts is not present of significantly low temporarily replace the Auto Stop cable
with a known good cable and repeat step 10. If the 5 volts is not present or the voltage is
still significantly low replace the console or upper PCA. If 5 volts is present permanently
replace the Auto Stop cable.
NOTE: The running belt does not need to be moving for this test.
11. With the Auto Stop connector plugged into the Auto Stop sensor place the meter red
lead to the green wire and black lead to the black wire. The meter should indicate 5 volts
+/- 0.1volt. While monitoring this voltage, have someone step onto the deck and bounce
up and down. The voltage between the black and green wires should fluctuate between
bounces. If the voltage does not change, replace the Auto Stop Sensor.
12. If you have completed all the previous steps and Auto Stop will still not function correctly, contact Precor Customer Support.
Troubleshooting a tripped treadmill ON/OF circuit breaker or facility outlet circuit breaker.
Review the electrical requirements, see "General Information" on page3.
It is extremely important to know whether it is the treadmill circuit breaker or the facility wall outlet circuit breaker that trips. It is also extremely important to know when the breaker trip occurs,
choose one of the following trip events:
l Immediately on power up
l After the belt starts but before the exerciser walks onto the belt
l After the exerciser walks onto the belt.
If the facility outlet circuit breaker trips
l Measure the facility wall outlet voltage. If the is approximately 0 VAV, the wall breaker
has tripped.
l Inspect the power cord, if damaged, replace the line cord. If the line cord is not damaged
continue with the following steps.
l Verify whether there is more than one treadmill on the same outlet circuit breaker. This
will be especially evident if two or more treadmills shutdown at the same time. To verify
if multiple treadmills are sharing the same wall breaker, manually switched OFF the wall
breaker. If more than one treadmill loses power, the treadmills are on the same breaker.
o
If YES, advise the customer to have their facility wiring upgraded per Precor specifications.
o
If NO, continue troubleshooting.
IMPORTANT: If the AC circuit feeding a treadmill is found to be a non-dedicated
branch circuit or a circuit equipped with a capacity of less than 20 amps, the AC circuit
must be corrected before any reliable Troubleshooting can be performed. More
importantly, a non-dedicated branch circuit may constitute a safety hazard to the treadmill operator .
l Verify the wall outlets do not share neutral wiring and that each wall outlet is on an indi-
vidual branch circuit. An individual branch circuit will have its own load line, neutral line
and ground line. To verify that the treadmill is not on an individual branch circuit use an
AC voltmeter measure from the hot contact of one AC receptacle to the neutral contact
of another AC receptacle. If AC line voltage is present then the treadmills are sharing
neutral lines.
o
If YES, advise customer to have their facility wiring upgraded per Precor specifications, and then continue to step 5.
o
If NO, continue troubleshooting
CAUTION: The treadmill requires a 20-amp individual branch circuit grounded per
NEC (National Electric Code) guidelines or local region electric code.
l Measure the AC input voltage with the treadmill unloaded (running belt moving, with no
one walking on the running belt) and then again while loaded (someone walking/running on the belt). The difference between the two states should be no more than
If the voltage variance is more than 6 volts RMS, the distance the branch circuit
wire are runs maybe very long or may have used smaller diameter wire. Recommend to the club that they should consult with an electrician if this is suspected.
o
If NO, continue troubleshooting.
l Weight overloading is the most frequent cause of treadmill shutting down. Overloading
is most often caused by excess deck/belt friction, but can be made worse by line voltage
conditions. This condition happens more often with heavier runners, but never walkers.
In high exerciser clubs (10 hours or more of use per day), the decks/belts will wear out
much faster than at other locations, sometimes in months rather than years. It is often
accompanied by error codes 27, 28, or 29, see "Troubleshooting the 3 Phase AC Drive
Motor System."
If the Treadmill ON/OFF circuit breaker is tripped:
l Verify the wall outlets do not share neutral wiring and that each wall outlet is on an indi-
vidual branch circuit. An individual branch circuit will have its own load line, neutral line
and ground line. To verify that the treadmill is not on an individual branch circuit use an
AC voltmeter measure from the hot contact of one AC receptacle to the neutral contact
of another AC receptacle. If AC line voltage is present then the treadmills are sharing
neutral lines.
o
If YES, advise customer to have their facility wiring upgraded per Precor specifications, and then continue with step 2.
o
If NO, continue troubleshooting.
CAUTION: The treadmill requires a 20-amp individual branch circuit grounded per
NEC (National Electric Code) guidelines or local region electric code.
l Verified that a long distance branch run has inadequate gauge wire.
o
If YES, advise customer to have their facility wiring upgraded per Precor specifications.
o
If NO, continue troubleshooting.
l Verify the input line voltage; Low line voltage for the U.S. is any voltage below 108VAC,
measured while the treadmill circuit breaker is switched "ON" and the running belt is
stopped. For international, low line voltage is anything below 200 VAC while the treadmill circuit breaker is switched "ON" and the running belt is stopped. Measure the line
voltage with the treadmill circuit breaker is switched "ON", and the running belt is
stopped. Record the voltage. Then measure the voltage again using the instantaneous
voltage drop using the min/max function on your volt meter while someone is running on
the treadmill at 7.0 MPH or higher.
o
If any measurement is below 108VAC (US) or 200 VAC (International), advise
the customer to have their facility wiring inspected by an electrician.
o
If the measurements are at or above 108VAC (US) or 200VAC (International),
continue troubleshooting.
l Does the treadmill trip its breaker immediately on power up?
If YES, it is likely that there is a shorted component (line filter, lower control module) or
faulty/shorted wiring.
o
If NO, continue with the following steps.
l Does the treadmill power up, but trips the breaker after the motor is started?
o
If YES, it is likely that there is a bad roller or bad drive motor.
o
If NO, continue with the following steps.
l Does the drive motor start up fine, but trips the breaker after an exerciser walks/runs on
the running belt?
o
If YES, Overloading is the most frequent cause of treadmill shutting down. Overloading is most often caused by excess deck/belt friction, but can be made worse
by line voltage conditions. The overloading condition happens more often with
heavier runners, but never walkers. In high exerciser clubs (10 hours or more of
use per day), the decks/belts will wear much faster than at other locations, sometimes in months rather than years. It is often accompanied by error codes 27, 28,
or 29. Perform an amp draw test in the "Running Belt and Deck Troubleshooting"
This procedure only applies to treadmill powered consoles.
1. Verify that the treadmill input power is correct, see "Tripped Circuit Breaker" on
page93.
2. Remove the treadmill hood and measure the AC voltage at the input side of the line filter. Verify that line voltage is present when the breaker switch is turned on.
a. If NO, replace the breaker switch.
b. If Yes, continue troubleshooting.
3. Measure the AC voltage at the output side of the line filter. Verify that line voltage is
present when the breaker switch is turned on.
a. If NO, Replace the line filter.
b. If Yes, continue troubleshooting.
4. Use a known good console and communication cable. Plug the test console and test
communications cable into the suspect treadmill lower control module (IFT drive). Does
the test console power up?
a. If NO, replace the lower control module (IFT drive).
b. If Yes, continue troubleshooting.
4. If the test console powered up, re-connect the test communications cable from the test
console to the original console. Does the original console power up?
a. If Yes, replace the Communications Cable.
b. If No, replace the upper PCA.
CAUTION: Swapping a lower control module from a good unit into a bad unit could
damage the lower control module from the good unit. If the control module that is
being swapped may have a defect and could damage components in the good unit.
Occasionally, there may be issues with the proper operation of the drive system that do not
generate error codes. This troubleshooting procedure is intended troubleshoot the 3-phase
Drive Motor System.
If there is a drive motor system Error code from 20 through 29 in the error log, go to the Error
Code Troubleshooting Guide, see the Error Code Troubleshooting Guide, for troubleshooting
information.
If there are no errors in the error log, yet the drive system appears to have an issue (such as jittery motion) then continue the troubleshooting procedure.

Procedure
Lower Control Module OUTPUT power Check
NOTE:When taking voltage readings of the AC drive motor, the readings may not
seem accurate because of the frequencies being used, however, they are indicative
of the presence of drive motor voltage and relative frequency changes.
1. If the drive motor starts when you force the running belt to move and the drive motor
runs rough, jump to the
will not start, continue with the next step.
2. If the drive motor does not start, the lower control module will only apply voltage for a
couple of seconds before it shuts down. Therefore the voltage readings in the following
step must be taken within the first couple of seconds after the treadmill is instructed to
start the running belt. (A multi-meter with a hold feature is recommended)
3. Connect an AC voltmeter between terminals 4 (red) & 5 (white) of the OUTPUT connector on the lower control module. Set the treadmill ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
Press the QUICK START key. If the lower control module is supplying output, you will
momentarily read some value of AC voltage. Make a note of the voltage and set the
treadmill ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
4. Set the treadmill ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. Repeat the previous AC voltage
measurement between terminals 4 (red) & 6 (black) of the OUTPUT connector as the
previous step. Voltage should read the same value as the OUTPUT pins 4 and 5. Set
the treadmill ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
Drive Motor Winding Check
procedure below. If the drive motor
5. Set the treadmill ON/OFF switch to the OFF repeat the previous AC voltage measurement between terminals 5 (white) & 6 (black) of the OUTPUT connector on the
lower control module. The voltage should read the same value as the OUTPUT pins 4
and 5. Set the treadmill’s ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
6. If one or more of the previous OUTPUT voltage readings are not present, replace the
lower control module. If the voltage readings are present, continue with the next step.
Drive Motor Winding Check
CAUTION: All resistance measurements must be performed with power removed
from the machine. Performing the resistance measurements with voltage applied
tho the circuit can damage the muftimeter.
7. Set the treadmill’s ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. Disconnect the drive motor connector from the OUTPUT connector on the power control module. With an ohmmeter,
measure between terminals 4 (red) & 5 (white), 4 (red) & 6 (black) and 5 (white) & 6
(black) of the drive motor connector. Each reading should be approximately 2.5 ohms. If
any of the readings are significantly high or open, replace the drive motor.
8. If the ohm readings are correct, inspect the female terminals of the drive motor connector. Verify that they are not spread beyond the point of making good connection with
the male pins on the OUTPUT connector on the power control module. If proper connection is not being achieved, replace the drive motor connector.
9. If you have performed all of the procedures above and have been unable to correct the
problem, call Precor customer support.
The error 37 is generated by the upper PCA in the console when the lower control module
gets into an E-Stop state and the upper PCA in the console did not know about it. The system
uses pin 8 of the data cable to communicate E-Stop states between the console and the lower
control module.

information.
Procedure
Refer to the Error Code Troubleshooting Guide for error code description and troubleshooting
information.
1. Place your hands on the HHHR (Hand Held Heart Rate) contacts, making full contact
with both top and bottom contacts for at least 15 seconds.
a. If the unit displays a heart rate, no problem exists.
b. If the unit does not display a heart rate value within this time, continue with next
step.
2. Set the ON/OFFswitch to the OFF position, wait 10 seconds, then set the ON/OFF
switch to the on position and repeat step 1.
a. If the HHHR functions correctly, then the processor on the HR board was in a
"latched-up" condition, and cycling the power cleared the condition.
b. If the HHHR does not function correctly, continue with step 3.
3. Verify that the HHHR board has the correct operating voltage. Connect a voltmeter to
VCC and Ground on the Power/Signal connector. The voltage should read between 4.5
and 5 Vdc.
4. Verify the wiring of the HHHR contacts (top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right) go to
the proper pin on the Grip/Contact connector, that none of the lines are shorted,
a. If NO, Correct the wiring error.
b. If Yes, Continue.
5. Verify that the grip connections are free of corrosion.
a. If NO, replace the corroded HHHR grips.
b. If Yes, continue.
6. Verify that there is a ferrite bead around the cable from the HHHR board to the upper
PCA. (GEN-06 treadmill only)
7. Verify that the unit does not display a heart rate with only one hand on a grip. This would
indicate static damage, and require replacement of the heart rate board.
8. If the above procedures do not correct the problem, replace the heart rate board.
1. Verify wireless heart rate with a known good chest strap transmitter or test transmitter.
If the heart rate reading is erratic, incorrect, or absent, continue.
NOTE: It may be necessary to lean in closer to the console at first to allow receiver to
begin to acquire a heart rate signal.
2. Verify that the HHHR board has the correct operating voltage. Connect a voltmeter to
VCC and Ground on the Power/Signal connector. The voltage should read between 4.5
and 5.5 Vdc.
3. Identify other sources of wireless interference signals in close proximity to the unit (such
as Wi-Fi networks, cordless phones, etc.).
NOTE: Wi-Fi network is transmitting in close proximity to the treadmill the heart rate
system MAY pick it up. Using an ohmmeter, verify that upper and lower PCAs have a
good electrical path to chassis ground.
4. If the preceding procedures do not correct the problem, replace the heart rate board.
5. Possible sources of interference signals include, but not limited to:
The incline system consists of an AC line voltage driven lift motor (120VAC or 240VAC), and
an internal 1 K W (Ohms) potentiometer for lift position monitoring. It is important when you
start to troubleshoot the lift system to determine if the problem is due to an inability to move the
lift, or an inability to monitor the lift position.
Related Error Codes
Incline system error codes: 40 through 45.
Refer to the Error Code Troubleshooting Guide for error code description and troubleshooting
information.
Procedure
Determine whether you need to troubleshoot the AC voltages going to the motor windings, or
if you need to troubleshoot the DC voltages and/or ohm readings from the potentiometer. The
error log will help determine which is causing the issue.
Check the error log for INCLINE system error codes, press and hold the reset key for at least 6
seconds to access the error log.
If there is an error code for a lift system error logged (Error 40 through 45), go to the Error
Code Troubleshooting Guide and follow the troubleshooting information.
CAUTION: All resistance measurements must be performed with power removed
from the machine. Performing the resistance measurements with voltage applied
tho the circuit can damage the muftimeter.
Operation of lift motor for testing:
Most Precor treadmills require the running belt to be moving to operate the lift. For this reason
it is recommended that the servicer use the "Hardware Validation" - Machine Tests (see "Hard-
ware Validation - Diagnostic Tests (51765761)" on page13) to verify lift operation.
Errors in this section cover either input power (error 15 & 16) conditions, Console controls
(error 5 & 80-83), or processor/memory (error 9 & 11) conditions. These are errors that
although they are valid to the proper function of the machine, are not part of a specific treadmill
base system (lift system, drive system, deck & belt system, etc…). Follow the steps for error
code 5, 9, 12, 15, 16, 80, 81, 82, or 83 on the following pages.

This procedure is to be used to determine the condition of the running belt and running deck
combination.
A clamp-on ammeter will be used to measure the treadmill’s AC input current under load. The
AC input current is a direct indication of the load being placed on the treadmill. Treadmill loading consists of several factors, the user’s weight, treadmill speed and condition of the running
belt and running deck.
The AC input current measurements should be performed at 7-8mph. and 0% incline.
Because the loading varies with the user’s weight, you should perform the AC input current
measurement test on a new running belt and deck combination. That will provide you with a
benchmark reading to account for your individual weight.
Because the AC input current reading will pulse between a high value (during foot plant) and a
low reading (between foot plants) we suggest the use of an analog clamp-on ammeter. An
analog ammeter makes it very easy to see the AC current pulses. The refresh rate on digital
ammeters may make it difficult to see the rapid current peaks unless the digital ammeter is
equipped with a peak hold feature.
Procedure
1. Remove the treadmill’s motor cover and place the A.C clamp-on ammeter on the brown
wire from the A.C. input module (or A.C. power cord) to the circuit breaker (ON/OFF
switch). See the illustration below.
2. Set the treadmill’s speed at 7-8 mph and the incline at 0%. Walk on the treadmill and
observe the average A.C. current reading. Typical average A.C. current reading on a
new running belt and deck should average between 8 to 12 amperes. Note that a digital
meter could measure peak amps as high as 20 amps, even on a new belt and deck.
3. If the average current reading approaches 20 amperes, the running belt should be
replaced. The running deck should be flipped or replaced if the running deck has been
previously flipped. See Procedure, Running Belt and/or Deck Replacement (on page
101) for running belt and running deck replacement.
4. If the average AC current readings are greater than on a new running belt and deck
combination but not approaching 20 amperes, the reading will give you an indication of
the running belt and deck combination’s general condition.
NOTE: Repeat the amp draw test after replacing a running belt and deck. Damage to
the lower control module can occur if the unit had been run in an overload/high current
condition for prolonged periods of time. This type of damage would not generate an
error code, but would cause the breaker to trip intermittently. An amp draw test will
catch this condition.
