1. PRE-ORDER CHECKLIST
All Green Systems need to be linked together via cables. A cable from one of the end Boost Converters in each
Pod needs to be connected to a dedicated Inverter. The Inverter needs to be wired to your electrical panel by a
licensed electrician. This system only works with 220 volt AC grid power. Below is an illustration of Cardio Units, Boost
Converters, Inverter, and grid power connections in a simple Pod conguration.
Example Standard Layout:
Standard Cable Lengths:
-Inverter to rst Boost Converter (one 5m or
16’5” cable comes attached to Inverter)
-Individual Boost Converter cables (one 1.2m
or 47” cable comes with each Boost Converter)
Optional (Special Order)
-8m or 26’ 3” Inverter to Boost Converter cable (part #
100391021)
-5m or 16’ 5” Boost Converter cable (part # 145091090)
-Longer Boost Converter cables can be custom fabricated;
allow 2 weeks from time of order
-Y-Connectors are available for non-sequential Pod
congurations
*Note: Maximum total Boost Converter cable length for each Pod from the Inverter is 34m or 111’ 7” including a .3m
or 12” allowance for the internal length of each Booster Box in the Pod. See item 4 on page 5.

1. Select the number and type of Cardio Units desired.
2. Determine the number of Pods desired: 1 Inverter is required per Pod. Up to 10 Cardio Units can
be connected in a single Pod.

3. Construct a site plan by laying out desired equipment locations and assigned footprints on a scale
drawing. Include all Inverters, Cardio Units, and Boost Converter, plus Y-Connectors if needed. There
is a space planner application on our website that can be used to do this at: http://www.sportsartamerica.
com/SAF/space_planner.asp or you can ask your SportsArt Rep to provide site planning assistance.
4. Determine the Boost Converter cable lengths required. See page 4 for available lengths. Add up
all Boost Converter cable lengths plus 12” for each Boost Converter in the Pod and compare the
total with the maximum allowed length of 34m (111’ 7”).
5. Determine the number of raceways needed to cover exposed Boost Converter cables. Each
raceway is 1m or 39” long.*
*Note: Included in the standard order are four raceways for the Inverter and one for each Cardio Unit.
It is recommended that all of the exposed cables should be covered with the raceways to minimize trip
hazards.
Additional raceways and one custom length cable will be provided at no extra charge if specied at the
time of original order. All Y-Connectors, cables and raceways ordered after the original order will be
charged.
Cardio Units can be arranged in many topologies within a pod. These are some of the congurations possible:

2. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
1. Have a licensed and bonded electrician:
a. Examine facility electrical service panel(s) and establish location and type of dedicated 250V
15A circuit breaker to be assigned to each Inverter; order circuit breakers as needed.
b. Determine length, conductor sizes, and routing of 3-wire cables needed between each Inverter
and its dedicated circuit breaker; order required cables. Each cable is to be a home run between
the Inverter and its respective breaker. There are to be no shared lines
c. Review Pgs 13-15, Electrical Connections.
2. Prepare for installing Inverter Mounting Bracket(s) (Pgs 8-12) by coordinating best location with
electrician and reviewing with installers.
*It is recommended that the Inverter be mounted and wired to its respective circuit breaker
prior to installing the rest of the Green System. Upon request, the Inverter can be shipped in
advance.
3. Review Site Plan and Installation Procedures Overview (Section 3) with installers. Include
assembling recommended tools:
-Drill and 5/16” diameter bit for hanging Inverter Mounting Bracket(s)
-Hand tools for assembling the Cardio Units
-Phillips screwdriver for connecting Boost Converter cables between Boost Converters
-Miter Box for cutting plastic cable raceways to length

3. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES OVERVIEW (CONTINUED)
Please follow instructions (a) through (d) to install the mount bracket.
(a) Using a 5/16” drill bit, drill holes in the wall where the Inverter will be installed. Note that position specications
shown here are for reference only. (* Note: When mounted on the bracket, the Inverter display will be at a
height ~1 1/2” lower than the top mounting bracket screws. Mount at a height that will make the display easy
to read.)
(b) Insert one screw anchor (22) into each of the four holes. Secure screws (21) in the upper holes but leave at
least 8 mm of each screw exposed.
(c) Hang the mounting bracket (A3) onto the upper screws (21) as follows. First, hold the mounting bracket so
one screw is inserted through the enlarged part of the screw slot. Then slide the mounting bracket (A3) so the
other screw comes into place in its slot.
