DATA CABLE
Large Data Cable
The large data cable carries the communication between
the lower board and the upper board. The large data
cable has 8 pins (wires)
• 1 PWM
• 1 RPM/Sensor
• 1 Down Elevation
• 1 Up Elevation
• 1 Vcc (+5)
• 2 Grounds
• 1 Elevation Potentiometer signal
Small Data Cable
The small data cable carries power (11 volts) from the
lower board to the upper board. This is the only function
for the small data cable. The small data cable has 6 pins
(wires)
• 3 Power
• 3 Grounds
Always make sure your 11V or CNS LED is lit on the
lower board. The 11V or CNS LED is indication that the
lower board is sending power to the small data cable.
Have a spare set of data cables at all times: Damaged or defective data cables are the #1 cause of treadmill
failure. DATA CABLE DAMAGE IS NOT ALWAYS VISIBLE.
To properly test data cable:
1. Connect new data cable to the upper board.
2. Connect data cable to the lower board without pulling through mast.
3. Test the treadmill
DEFECTIVE DATA CABLE SYMPTOMS
Large Data Cable Symptoms
1. E5
2. E6
3. E9
4. No Elevation or speed function
5. No Elevation
6. No Speed
7. Deck goes to max at start
8. Run away speed
Small Data Cable symptoms
1. No power to the upper board
2. Loss of power to the upper board, intermittent shutdown
To troubleshoot a bad large data cable for most models - Enter engineering mode (see engineering mode for specific
treadmill). If the elevation window in calibrations reads 000 in Px there no signal from the lower board to the upper
console.

ERROR MESSAGE CODES
If an error occurs during auto-calibration of new console, an override of the error may be necessary. Cycle power,
press “STOP”, then, on the speed key numeric press “5”, “9”, then “3”.
E4 Incline position is outside the tolerances
E5 Elevation stall condition
E6 Signal from elevation is lost
E7 Speed time out error
E9 Signal from speed sensor is lost
If the wrong product is selected during initial set up a console reset can be done by holding down the “9” speed key
for 10 seconds.
