CHAPTER 4: TROUBLESHOOTING
4.1 Troubleshooting – No Power to the Console
Symptom：The power switch is in the on position, but the console will not turn on.
Reason：
1. The outlet is not providing the correct power, or the power cord / switch is defective.
2. The power receptacle or power wiring to the MCB is defective.
3. The MCB is defective.
4. The console cable or console is defective.
Solution：
1. Check to see if the power switch is lit. If it is not, try a different outlet.
a. If the power switch still does not light up with a known good outlet, replace the power switch.
2. Check to see if the MCB has power. There is a red power LED on the MCB that should be lit.
3. If the MCB does not have power, check the connection of the power wiring from the power receptacle to the MCB.
a. Use a multi-meter to measure voltage at AC1 & AC2, AC voltage should be the same as local standard voltage
(110V-240V).
b. If the AC voltage value is standard, replace the MCB as it is defective.
This LED should
be lit if the MCB
has power.

CHAPTER 4: TROUBLESHOOTING
4.1 Troubleshooting – No Power to the Console – Continued
4. If the MCB does have power, check the connection of the console cable wire at the MCB and UCB.
a. Remove the console cable from the MCB, and use a multi-meter to measure the DC voltage between the “GND pin”
(Pins 4 & 5) and the “+ 15V Pin” (Pins 7 & 8). DC output is normally around 15VDC. If there is no output, replace the
MCB.
b. If output is around 15VDC, check the console cable for pinches or kinks. If any damage is found, replace the console
cable. Disconnect the console cable at the UCB and measure the DC voltage between the “GND pin” (Pins 4 & 5) and
the “+ 15V Pin” (Pins 7 & 8). DC output is normally around 15VDC. If there is no output, replace the console cable.
c. If the console cable connections and voltage are all good, replace the UCB.

CHAPTER 4: TROUBLESHOOTING
4.2 Troubleshooting – Keypads Not Responding
Symptom：The keypads are not responding when pressed.
Reason：
1. The keypads are defective.
2. The console is defective.
Solution：
1. Press the SPEED UP and INCLINE DOWN keys together for 3 seconds to enter Engineering Mode.
a. Use the LEVEL UP or DOWN key to scroll to ENG0, and press ENTER.
b. Test each of the keypads using Display Test. The console should chime as each key is pressed.
2. If any keypads are not chiming during Step 1, check the connection of the keypad ribbon cable at the UCB.
a. Even if the connection appears good, detach the ribbon cable from the UCB, and then re-attach and
retest.
b. Replace the keypads as needed.
3. If the keypads do not resolve the issue, replace the console.

CHAPTER 4: TROUBLESHOOTING
4.3 Troubleshooting – No Console Response
Symptom：The power is on and the console lights up, but the treadmill does not run when keys are pressed. .
Reason：
1. The keypads are defective.
2. The console is defective.
3. The drive motor is defective.
4. The speed sensor is defective.
5. The MCB is defective.
Solution：
1. Check if the console beeps when all keys are pressed. If not, troubleshoot the keypads as outlined in Section 4.2.
2. Enter Engineering Mode (See Section 2.1), and scroll to ENG 1 (Hardware Test). Press the ENTER key and then
the START key.
a. Press the SPEED UP and DOWN keys, if the data in windows TIME and DISTANCE changes, the console is ok.
If the data does not change, replace the UCB.
3. Turn off the power switch, and open the upper motor cover. Remove the red & black wires coming from the motor
to the MCB, and use a multi-meter to measure the resistance of the drive motor wire.
a. If the resistance is higher than 10 Ω, the drive motor is defective. Replace the drive motor.
If the resistance is lower than 10 Ω, the drive motor is ok.
4. Check the connection of the speed sensor (encoder disk group) at the MCB.
a. Remove the speed sensor from the motor and clean it, then re-test.
b. If the speed sensor is clean and has a good connection but still will not operate, replace the speed
sensor.
5. Replace the MCB as the last step if the unit still does not run after taking the above actions.

CHAPTER 4: TROUBLESHOOTING
4.4 Troubleshooting – Incline Motor Issues
Symptom：Incline motor issues.
Reason：
1. The MCB is defective.
2. The incline motor is defective.
Solution：
1. Enter Engineering Mode (See Section 2.1), and scroll to ENG 1 (Hardware Test). Press the ENTER key and
then the START key.
a. Press the INCLINE UP and DOWN keys.
b. You should be able to hear beeps from the two relays on the MCB as the incline motor engages. If these
relays can be heard, the MCB is ok. If the relays cannot be heard, replace the MCB.
2. Check the connection of the incline motor at the MCB. Unplug and re-plug the connector. If this does not resolve
the issue, replace the incline motor.
These MCB relays should
click when the incline
motor is engaged.
