Section 1 - Introduction
Section

© Precor Incorporated, Unauthorized Reproduction and Distribution Prohibited by Law Page 7
Cables connecting the P80 should be routed in a very specific order and in a very specific path to avoid
damage to the cables. This section is a systematic process on how the cables should be routed through
the P80 console. Functionality issues could occur if the cables have been routed in a manner other than
described in this section. If you have a functionality problem with a P80 console, verifying that these
cables were routed correctly prior to any other troubleshooting could save you time and frustration.
Equipment Base Cabling
For cable routing through the specific equipment base, refer to the installation guide shipped with the
specific equipment base type (TRM, EFX, AMT, RBK, and UBK).
P80 Power Requirements
To operate the P80 requires a separate 12Vdc power supply. The 12Vdc power supply will be mounted to
the inside of the frame of the treadmill using Velcro strips.
For ALL other units (because they are self powered) the 12Vdc power supply must be outside of the
equipment covers, typically in a cable management "Tee" connector or other customer supplied cable
management. Except for the TRM, make sure the power supply cable’s ground lug is grounded to the
equipment frame.
Treadmill Specific Concerns
The cables entering the display support column should be routed from the side above the stop switch
assembly, not through the hole at the bottom of the display support column. The cables should then be
arranged in the clips in the display support column as shown below.
The ends of the cables should be routed through the display support column, behind the console mounting
plate, and out through the hole in the center of the weldment. There should be a total of 7 cables (8
cables if you consider that the heart rate cable is physically 2 cables going into one connector) exiting the
center hole in the console mounting plate.
Cables not routed in this manner can be pinched and/or damaged during installation.

Proper Installation

Cable Routing Through the P80 Armor
In the back of the P80 console is a large black steel support, called the Armor. At the bottom of the unit’s
mounting plate there is a hook that holds the console in place, leaving your hands free to perform the
cable routing steps. Remove the 4 console mounting screws and tilt the console forward, allowing the
hook to support the console. Verify the cable routing against the following steps. Cables should be routed
through the center of the armor and out specific side openings in the armor. The specific order and path
that these cables are routed allow them to be attached to their respective connectors without being
pinched and/or damaged.
Cable Routing Order
1 Stop Switch Cable
2 RF Coax Cable
3 Ethernet Cable
4 Data Cable
5 Auto-Stop Cable
6 Power Cable
7 Heart Rate Cable

1-Stop Switch Cable Routing
The Stop Switch assembly cable (treadmill only) should be routed through the lower right corner of the
armor, and connected to the 6 pin flat connector on the CPA board. The cable will go through the center
of the armor, out the bottom right side opening, then up to the connector. Be sure to get the connector
onto the six pins correctly or the treadmill will not work.
Figure 3: Stop Cable Routing (Treadmill Only)

2-RF Coax Cable Routing
a) The RF Coax cable should be routed down below the tuner, and out the right bottom side of the
armor. This is easier if you straighten the cable and gently push it through the center of the armor,
in the direction as shown. Use your finger to guide the cable out the bottom right side opening and
feed about 10 inches through.
Figure 4: Coax Cable Starting Path
b) The RF Coax cable should reach up and over the top of the armor connecting it to the flexible cable
attached to the tuner.
When connecting to the flexible cable, take care to not damage the cable. Being
flexible, it is also fragile and can become damaged if handled roughly.

Figure 5: Coax Cable Ending Path
c) The RF Coax connector should be secured in place with the zip tie provided with the console. It is
important that the connection be tied to the frame in this location to prevent the cable being
pinched and possibly causing rattling noises during use. If the zip tie is missing, locate one and
secure the connection. Be sure to get the zip tie on the connector and not on the cable.

3-Ethernet Cable Routing
The Ethernet cable should be routed through the center of the armor, and then through the opening in the
upper right side of the armor. The Ethernet cable connects to the upper RJ45 type connector. The
Ethernet cable will always be black and round.
Figure 7: Ethernet Cable Routing

4-Data Cable Routing
The Data cable should be routed through the center of the armor, and then through the opening in the
upper right side of the armor. The Data cable attaches to the lower RJ45 type connector. The data cable
will always be grey and flat.
Figure 8: Data Cable Routing

5-Auto-Stop Cable Routing
The Auto Stop cable (treadmill only) should be routed through the center of the armor, and then through
the upper left corner of the weldment. The connector will be a four pin keyed connector.
Figure 9: Auto Stop Cable Routing

6-Power Cable Routing
The Power cable should be routed through the center of the armor, and then through the upper left corner
of the weldment. If the P80 is hardware version 1, It is possible that when you are dressing the cables to
pull this connector back inside the weldment. Leave the connector on the side of the P80 as shown, as it
might be necessary to access it for troubleshooting. Version 1.5 hardware will connect to the power supply
board.

7-Heart Rate Cable Routing
The Heart Rate cable should be routed through the center of the armor, and then through the upper left
corner of the weldment. Route any excess Heart Rate cable into the rectangular center section of the dash
assembly.

Mounting the P80 Console
1 Double check that all cables are fully and securely connected, and that cables are tied back properly.
Make sure any extra cabling is pulled down through the neck.
NOTE:
***For treadmill installations, make sure that the cables from the upright to the
mounting neck are routed along the front of the dash (using the attached flex ties),
making sure the cables are routed through the plastic guides inside the neck. ***
Figure 13: Dash Cable Routing
2 Tilt the control console back onto the mounting plate until the tab on the top edge of the armor slides
along the top edge of the mounting plate and the screw holes align properly.
3 Secure the console to the plate using the four flat head 5/8 inch long screws in the hardware kit. Use
the 5/8 inch long screws that come in the hardware kit, as they are a custom length for this location. If
you need additional screws (part number MCCN025-031) contact Precor. ½ inch screws are too short
to provide the proper grounding required by the P80 and ¾ inch are too long and can damage wires.
