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.

Getting Started 21

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.

Workout Limits

The Workout Limit settings give you control over how the equipment is used. Use these settings to create reasonable limitations for equipment usage including speed, incline, resistance, and duration.

In general, fitness equipment use is based on its popularity with users, and its availability during a site’s busiest times of day. Settings to enforce time limits will help locations restrict user usage during the busiest hours to provide more access to equipment for more users.

Workout Limit settings are not associated with or saved as part of a user profile and users do not have access to them. Both administrators and service technicians have view and modify access rights.

For more information, refer to Manage Settings.

Introducing Users to the P80 Console

The P80 console offers clear visuals and a touch-screen layout that encourages program exploration. Multiple preset workouts are designed to help individual users meet their fitness goals, and the console keys and durable motion controls are responsive and easy to use.

Important: Please review the following sections in this guide with your users before allowing them to use the fitness equipment:

 Important Safety Instructions  Using the Safety Clip (for treadmill only)  Educating Users

Changing the Default Language

The Welcome screen displays in a default language selected for your region.

To change the default language before beginning your workout:

1. On the Welcome screen, touch the language icon.

Figure 9: Language icon

2. On the Language screen, select your language choice and touch OK.

The screens will now display in your preferred language.

Using the Touch Heart Rate Feature

Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors. You may experience an erratic readout if your hands are dry, dirty, or oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially thick. Wearing hand lotion can also cause an erratic readout. In addition, make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

To use the touch heart rate feature, place the palm of your hands directly on the metal heart rate sensors on the equipment’s handlebars. To ensure an accurate heart rate readout, make sure you follow these tips:

 Both hands must grip the sensors for your heart rate to

register.

 It takes a number of consecutive heartbeats (15-20

seconds) for your heart rate to register.

 When gripping the sensors, do not grip tightly. Keep a

loose, cupping hold. Holding the grips tightly can affect the reading.

Introducing Users to the P80 Console 39

 As you work out, your perspiration will help transmit your

heart rate signal. If you have difficulty using the handheld grips to determine your heart rate, try the sensors again later in the workout to see if you can obtain a heart rate signal.

 If the touch heart rate feature does not work for you,

Precor recommends that you use a chest transmitter strap.

Figure 10: Heart rate target zones

CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is equal to 220 minus your age.

40 Operating and Maintaining the P80 Console

WARNING

Using a Chest Strap Transmitter

Signals used by the Chest Strap Transmitter (or heart rate strap) may interfere with pacemakers or other implanted devices. Consult your physician and the manufacturers of your Chest Strap Transmitter and implanted device before using a Chest Strap Transmitter.

Wearing a chest strap transmitter during your workout provides steady heart rate information. For the equipment to detect your heart rate, you must grip the touch heart rate sensors or wear a chest strap transmitter while exercising. In the presence of both touch and wireless data, the touch data takes precedence and will display.

Note: To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in direct contact with the skin on the lower sternum (just below the bust line for women).

To use a chest strap transmitter:

1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water.

Important: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.

2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap should feel snug, not restrictive.

3. Make sure that the chest strap is right-side-up, lies horizontally across, and is centered in the middle of your chest.

4. Test the chest strap placement by checking the heart rate function on the equipment. If a heart rate is registering, your chest strap placement is correct. If the equipment does not register a heart rate, readjust the strap and recheck the heart rate function.

Assembling the AMT 21

Threading the Cables

Depending on the model of console you are installing and the options it includes, you will need to install one or more of the following cables:

 Television (coaxial with F connectors)  Power  Ethernet

Precor recommends threading new cables from the top down, to take advantage of gravity. A fish tape (a thin metal strip with a hook or clasp on one end, available from professional hardware vendors) can be helpful during this procedure.

To thread new cables through the equipment:

1. Select the console power cable (red and black, individual

leads), the Ethernet cable (flat and black), or the television cable (round and black).

2. Thread the cable through the center column at the front

of the equipment.

3. Guide the end of the cable through the gap at the bottom

of the center column, then attach it to the appropriate connector on the jack panel. Refer to the following illustration and table for the position of each connector.

Important: Install coaxial cable using a torque wrench and torque to not exceed 8 lb-in. If a torque wrench is not available, install the coaxial cable using a wrench to “snug + ¼ turn.” It is permissible to use a wrench on the internal nut to aid the tightening process.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all three cables are

completely installed.

5. Insert all cables into the cable clips on the center frame

pillar just below the bottom of the center column. Use plastic ties to bind the cables together below the clips and to route them away from any moving parts.

Replacing Access Covers

After you install the console cables, you can return the access covers to their previous positions on the equipment.

To replace the access covers:

1. Snap the front cover back into place. Reinsert the two

buttonhead screws you removed with the front cover, then tighten them using a ⁵₃₂” hex wrench.

2. Position the top column cover between the handlebars

and the body of the AMT. Make sure that the sides of the top column cover extend over the upper edges of the body covers, then use the heel of your hand or a rubber mallet to tap the cover back into place.

Leveling the AMT

It is important that you level and stabilize the AMT properly every time you move it.

CAUTION: To eliminate movement, make sure the adjustable feet are in contact with the floor. Also, make sure that the unit sits on a flat surface. Adjusting the feet of the unit cannot compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.

Assembling the AMT 23

To level the AMT:

1. Gently rock the AMT while standing on one of its foot

plates and grabbing the opposite handlebar. First stand on the left foot plate and grab the right handlebar to rock the AMT, then repeat the step while standing on the right foot plate and holding the left handlebar. If there is any movement, ask your assistant to tip the unit on its side while you locate the adjustable feet.

2. Reposition the adjustable feet as needed.

Breaking in the Equipment

Precor equipment does not require an actual break-in period. However, moving components such as belts, gears, and bearings can settle while the equipment is being stored or shipped. This can cause the equipment to operate with a small amount of roughness or noise when it starts up for the first time.

The equipment usually returns to smooth operation after a day or two of normal use. If it does not, contact your dealer for assistance. For more information, refer to Obtaining Service.

Installing the Console

To make installation easier, all Precor Experience Series consoles use the same mounting hardware and connector locations whenever possible. The installation sequence for any of them is as follows:

 Threading the cable assembly  Connecting cables  Completing the installation (tightening the mounting

screws and attaching the back cover)

The following sections describe how to perform these tasks.

Chapter 2

Threading the Cable Assembly (P80)

Earlier in the installation, you threaded the necessary cables through the frame of the base unit and out the passthrough opening in the console mount. As you line up the back plate on the console with the console mount, you must make sure that the cable assembly passes correctly through the openings in both components.

26 Assembling and Maintaining AMT 800-Series Adaptive Motion Trainers
