For non-decline units: The state of the level switch will be displayed in the profile window. A zero “0” displayed in
the profile window shows the level switch in the closed position. As the unit is inclined the zero “0” displayed should
disappear to indicate that the level switch is functioning.
For decline units: The state of the level and negative incline switches will be displayed in the profile window. A zero
“0” displayed in the profile window shows the level switch in the closed position. As the unit is declined the zero “0”
displayed should disappear and a “–4” should appear in the profile window. This verifies that the negative switch is
functioning (the “–4” will only appear in incline manual mode).

DIAGNOSTICS: SYSTEM TEST – BELT / DECK MODE
This test allows the user to test the belt and deck condition. This test acts as a wattage meter. It will give the user
the percentage of power, wattage, bus voltage, and temperature readings.
The following messages will scroll:
The initial information displayed will be:
Where XXX will indicate real values.
PERCENT is the percentage of available power. It will range from 0 to 100%.
WATT is the wattage measured by the motor controller to move the belt ranging from 340 to 1200 watts.
By pressing the ‘COOL-DOWN’ key, the display will toggle to the information displayed below.
Where XXX will indicate real values.
VOLTAGE is the bus voltage of the motor controller. It is not the input line voltage.
TEMP is the temperature measure of the motor controller heat sink in Celsius.
The display will lock on the current information if the ‘PAUSE’ key is pressed.
The speed system and incline systems can be activated in this test. However, the display will only show the target
speed or incline for two seconds while the speed/incline keys are being pressed. It will then return to showing the
belt/deck information.
To test if the belt and deck need replacement: Using the ‘SPEED’ Up Arrow Key, walk on the unit at 3.5 mph for
a minimum of 1 minute. Then run on the unit at 7.0 mph for a minimum of 1 minute. If the voltage is higher than
1100 watts, replace the belt and either flip or replace the deck.

DIAGNOSTICS: SYSTEM TEST – LIFEPULSE™ MODE
Upon initial entry to this test, a message concerning the configuration of the LifePulse™ system On/Off will occur.
This test will allow the user to test the LifePulse™ heart rate system.
Following this message, the LifePulse™ system can be manually tested. A heart will be in the profile window.
The system will show when the user has placed their hands on the LifePulse™ sensors. When the left sensor
detects hands on condition, a ‘L’ will be placed in the profile window with the heart. When the right sensor detects
hands on condition, a ‘R’ will be placed in the profile window with the heart.
A timer will start counting from the time when a both left and right hands on condition occurs to when the
LifePulse™ system can give the user their heart rate. This timer will stop when the heart rate is given.
The gain value of the heart rate signal is shown. The confidence level of the heart rate value is displayed. The
value ranges from 0 to 9. A value of 9 is considered to be high confidence. A value of 0 is considered to be low
confidence.
The speed system and incline systems can be activated in this test. However, the display will only show the target
speed or incline for two seconds while the speed/incline keys are being pressed. It will then return to showing the
LifePulse™ information.
