Note: This is a recommendation only. NEC (National Electric Code) guidelines or local region electric codes must be followed.
You should have received a power cable that meets your local electrical code requirements along with the equipment. Precor treadmills must be connected to a 20 amp individual branch circuit that can be shared only with one PVS. If you need additional help with the power connections contact your Precor authorized dealer.
Important: An individual branch circuit provides a hot conductor and neutral conductor to a receptacle. The conductors must not be looped, "daisy-chained", or connected to any other conductors. The circuit must be grounded according to NEC guidelines or local region electric codes.

Chapter 1
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.

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.

Precor recommends that you configure the P80 consoles in your facility by sharing setting files. Configure one P80 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.
For more information, refer to Manage Settings.
