Getting Started
The P80 console offers administrators and users the ability to
set default settings that meet their specific needs. To
accomplish this, the console supports settings for different
classes of users depending on their administrative rights.
A guest user exercises on a piece of equipment without
signing in or creating a user profile.
A registered user uses a sign-in password or Preva™
Pass and creates a user profile.
A registered service technician uses a sign-in password
or Preva™ Pass with extra permissions to administer
console settings.
An administrator is always registered, uses a sign-in
password or Preva™ Pass, and has full access to the
console settings.
Changes to the Personal Information and Preference settings
are saved to a registered user’s profile. An unregistered user
can change preference settings; however, because they lack a
user profile, those changes are not saved, and apply only to
their current workout.

Treadmill Auto Stop™ (Automatic Stop) Function
Important: The default setting for this feature is ON. An
administrator can turn off this feature in the System Settings;
however, Precor recommends it remain ON.
The Auto Stop™ (Automatic Stop) feature is designed to
bring the treadmill to a gradual stop when it is not in use. This
might occur if a user steps off the treadmill before the end of
a workout and leaves the treadmill running.
Sixty seconds after a treadmill workout starts or resumes, the
equipment begins Auto Stop monitoring. If a user is detected,
then no message appears, and the selected workout
continues.
If no user is detected after an additional 30 seconds, the
console displays the message NO USER DETECTED,
STOPPING IN 10 SECONDS as notification of the pending
stop. During the display of this message, a ten second
countdown begins. If a user does not override the countdown,
the belt comes to a gradual stop after the countdown is
complete.
Note: Users weighing more than 90 pounds (41 kg) are
detected within the speed and position limits of the feature.
Users weighing 50 pounds (22.7 kg) to 89 pounds (40.5 kg)
may not be detected depending on their speed and location.
Always be aware of and follow the console’s instructions for
proper operation.

console by hand for each type of fitness equipment. For
example, configure one treadmill console, one EFX console,
one AMT console, and so on.
Once you have done this, you can export the settings for that
type of equipment onto a USB drive and then import those
settings into other P80 consoles installed on equipment of
that type.
