Electrical Recommendations: 120 V and
240 V Treadmills
Note: This is a recommendation only. NEC (National Electric
Code) guidelines or local region electric codes must be
followed.
You should have received a power cable that meets your local
electrical code requirements along with the equipment.
Precor treadmills must be connected to a 20 amp individual
branch circuit that can be shared only with one PVS. If you
need additional help with the power connections contact your
Precor authorized dealer.
Important: An individual branch circuit provides a hot conductor
and neutral conductor to a receptacle. The conductors must not be
looped, "daisy-chained", or connected to any other conductors.
The circuit must be grounded according to NEC guidelines or local
region electric codes.

For equipment fitted with a P80 console or Personal Viewing
System (PVS) screen a separate power connection is
required. For a 20 amp branch circuit up to 10 screens can be
connected. If the branch circuit has any other devices plugged
into the circuit the number of screens must be reduced by the
wattage of the other devices.
Note: The typical splitter power cords that have IEC-320 C13
and C14 plugs have a recommended maximum capacity of
five screens.

Chapter
1
Getting Started
The P30 console offers administrators the ability to set
default values that meet their specific needs. These settings
include items like language, units of measure, and setting a
maximum allowed workout time for each piece of equipment.
Activating the Console for Self-Powered
Equipment
Precor equipment is either self-powered or externally
powered using an optional power adapter. Self-powered
equipment requires the user exercise to initialize the console.
This section provides more detail about powering equipment.
Activating the Console for Self-Powered Equipment
On self-powered equipment, when a user starts exercising,
the console initializes and displays the Welcome banner. A
minimum rate of motion must be maintained for the
Welcome banner to appear. The words PEDAL FASTER (or
the equivalent message depending on the equipment type)
appear in the display when the rate of motion drops below the
minimum requirements.
The equipment saves its battery charge by moving into a
shutdown mode. If the user does not maintain the minimum
rate of motion, a 30-second shutdown process begins.
In this mode, the console displays a countdown indicator and
ignores all keypresses. If no movement is detected or the rate
of motion remains below the minimum, the indicator changes
as the countdown continues.
Note: The user can resume exercising before the countdown
period elapses and the program will continue from the point
at which it was paused.

Operating and Maintaining the P30 Console
Optional Use of the Power Adapter
An optional AC power adapter provides sustained power to
the equipment. This adapter allows you to change settings
without having to pedal the equipment. To purchase the
power adapter, contact your dealer.
If you purchase the optional power adapter, you must also
purchase the internal cable kit. The kit supplies the cable,
bracket, and fasteners that connect the power adapter to the
lower electronics board.
CAUTION: The internal cable kit must be installed by authorized
service personnel. Do not attempt installation on your own as you
could void the Precor Limited Warranty. For more information,
Important: If this equipment includes a P80 console, the optional
power adapter and the internal cable kit must still be installed to
provide continuous power to the base unit and support its internal
battery.
Once the internal cable kit is installed, you can plug the
optional power adapter into the equipment. Plug the opposite
end into the appropriate power source for your equipment
(120 V or 240 V). Review the safety instructions found at the
beginning of this manual before using the power adapter.
CAUTION: When the optional power adapter is in use, make sure
that the power supply cord does not create a safety hazard. Keep
it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the power supply
cord or power conversion module is damaged, it must be replaced.
The control console functions differently when the power
adapter is connected. Because the power adapter provides a
constant source of power, a user can pause for brief periods
without initiating shutdown procedures. When the pause time
limit expires and the user has not resumed exercising, the
console returns to the Welcome screen. The default pause
time is 30 seconds for all fitness equipment. Refer to the
manual for your control console for instructions on setting or
changing the pause time limit.

Introducing Users to the P30
Console
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see your
physician for a thorough physical examination. Seek advice from
your physician to learn the target heart rate appropriate for your
fitness level.
The P30 console offers an easy-to-follow display and multiple
programs to help people meet their exercise needs.
Important: Please review the following sections in this guide with
your users before allowing them to use the fitness equipment:
Important Safety Instructions
Getting Started
Using the Safety Clip (for treadmill only)
Using the Touch Heart Rate Feature
Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on a
user’s physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors. You
may experience an erratic readout if your hands are dry, dirty,
or oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially thick. Wearing
hand lotion can also cause an erratic readout. In addition,
make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure proper contact
can be maintained.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
32
Operating and Maintaining the P30 Console
To use the touch heart rate feature, place the palm of your
hands directly on the metal heart rate sensors on the
equipment’s handlebars. To ensure a more accurate heart
rate readout, make sure you follow these tips:
Both hands must grip the sensors for your heart rate to
register.
It takes a number of consecutive heart beats (15-20
seconds) for your heart rate to register.
When gripping the sensors, do not grip tightly. Keep a
loose, cupping hold. Holding the grips tightly can affect
the reading.
As you work out, your perspiration will help transmit your
heart rate signal. If you have difficulty using the handheld
grips to determine your heart rate, try the sensors again
later in the workout to see if you can obtain a heart rate
signal.
If the touch heart rate feature does not work for you,
Precor recommends that you use a chest transmitter
strap.
Figure 5: Heart rate target zones
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is equal to
220 minus your age.

Introducing Users to the P30 Console
33
Using a Chest Strap Transmitter
Signals used by the Chest Strap Transmitter (or
WARNING
heart rate strap) may interfere with pacemakers
or other implanted devices. Consult your
physician and the manufacturers of your Chest
Strap Transmitter and implanted device before
using a Chest Strap Transmitter.
Wearing a chest strap transmitter during your workout
provides steady heart rate information. For the equipment to
detect your heart rate, you must grip the touch heart rate
sensors or wear a chest strap transmitter while exercising. In
the presence of both touch and wireless data, the touch data
takes precedence and will display.
Note: To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in
direct contact with the skin on the lower sternum (just below
the bust line for women).
To use a chest strap transmitter:
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water.
Important: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the
proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.
2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The
strap should feel snug, not restrictive.
3. Make sure that the chest strap is right-side-up, lies
horizontally across, and is centered in the middle of your
chest.
4. Test the chest strap placement by checking the heart rate
function on the equipment. If a heart rate is registering,
your chest strap placement is correct. If the equipment
does not register a heart rate, readjust the strap and
recheck the heart rate function.

Treadmill Auto Stop™ (Automatic Stop)
Function
Important: The default setting for this feature is ON. An
administrator can turn off this feature in the System Settings;
however, Precor recommends it remain ON.
The Auto Stop™ (Automatic Stop) feature is designed to
bring the treadmill to a gradual stop when it is not in use. This
might occur if a user steps off the treadmill before the end of
a workout and leaves the treadmill running.
Sixty seconds after a treadmill workout starts or resumes, the
equipment begins Auto Stop monitoring. If a user is detected,
then no message appears, and the selected workout
continues.
If no user is detected after an additional 30 seconds, the
console displays the message NO USER DETECTED,
STOPPING IN 10 SECONDS as notification of the pending
stop. During the display of this message, a ten second
countdown begins. If a user does not override the countdown,
the belt comes to a gradual stop after the countdown is
complete.
Note: Users weighing more than 90 pounds (41 kg) are
detected within the speed and position limits of the feature.
Users weighing 50 pounds (22.7 kg) to 89 pounds (40.5 kg)
may not be detected depending on their speed and location.

Operating and Maintaining the P30 Console
Pausing and Resuming an Exercise Session
When you interrupt a workout, the equipment responds in
one of two ways, depending on how it is powered.
Paused (Externally Powered Equipment)
When the session is paused, the belt speed is slowly reduced
to zero, or the resistance is slowly reduced to the minimum.
The lift motor is turned off leaving the incline or crossramp at
its current position. Data entry is canceled.
When you press Pause on all non-treadmill equipment, it
displays the summary screen with your workout metrics.
After displaying the summary, it returns to the Welcome
screen.
Pending Shutdown (Self-Powered Equipment)
On self-powered machines, the paused state is equivalent to
the pending shutdown state. When you stop working out, the
equipment begins a 30 second countdown.
The accumulated metrics (e.g., time, strides, distance,
calories) hold their current values and do not change. Data
entry may not be started.
To restart the program, begin working out again. The
resistance is reset to what it was when the program was
paused.
If the equipment remains inactive for more than 30 seconds,
the power is lost and the equipment bypasses the workout
summary screen.

Starting a Workout
41
Ending a Session
Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout because
it helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting
excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. In addition, a
three to five minute cool down allows your heart rate to
return to its normal, resting state.
At the end of your workout, a Summary screen displays your
average heart rate during your workout and your accumulated
workout metrics.
If you performed a fitness test exercise program, an initial
message presents a fitness score.
The next two messages display the user’s average and
maximum heart rate during the session. These messages are
only displayed if heart rate data was acquired during the
session, i.e., a valid heart rate number was displayed at least
once during the session.
The summary state times out in two minutes, causing a return
to the Welcome banner. If the machine is in a CSAFE Finished
state then the summary state must last for at least the CSAFE
timeout value, typically 10 seconds. If it has not lasted that
long, then before returning to the Welcome banner, the word
RESETTING appears until the CSAFE finished state ends.
Three different types of metrics are captured during a
workout.
Controlled Metrics can be set and changed. They include:
Resistance Level (AMT, EFX, bike)
Speed (treadmill)
Incline (treadmill)
Steps/Minute (climber)
Current Performance Metrics describe the intensity of a
workout in real time. They include:
Calories/Minute, Calories/Hour
Heart Rate
Speed (treadmill, bike)
Revolutions/Minute (bike)
Strides/Minute (AMT, EFX)

Programs
Preset workouts are a great way to tailor your workouts to
your fitness goals, stay challenged, and add variety to your
sessions In the following figures, the elevated areas show the
work expenditure for each preset program.
Manual
During this workout, resistance and speed changes are
completely under your control. The profile is initially a flat
line. Any increase or decrease made in one workout segment
will increase or decrease all remaining portions by the same
amount.
Heart Rate
This workout computes your target heart rate based on the
calculation, 60% of 220 minus your age; however, you can
override this value. The equipment adjusts resistance and/or
incline to maintain your target heart rate while you work out.
When a heart rate signal is not received, a heart shape with a
question mark appears in the upper text display. Recheck your
hand grip on the handheld sensors or the placement of your
chest strap.
For the unit to detect your heart rate, you must grip the
handheld heart rate sensors or wear a chest strap while
exercising. In the presence of both handheld and wireless
data, the handheld data takes precedence and displays.

Interval
The Interval workout is primarily for conditioning your
cardiovascular system. This workout is designed to raise and
lower your heart rate in a repeating fashion for a user-defined
period of time by alternating rest and work intervals. Workout
intensity is adjustable.
Weight Loss
The workout time is fixed at 28 minutes. The workout
consists of four intervals, each lasting eight minutes. You can
change the resistance at any time during the work interval.
Variety
During this workout, resistance and speed vary throughout
the workout in a random pattern.
Performance
Note: When a user presses PERFORMANCE, the message
WORKOUT NOT AVAILABLE will scroll in the upper text
display, if the console is set to HIDE PROGRAMS in the
Settings menu.
The Fitness Test, available by pressing the PERFORMANCE
key, provides a means of comparing your fitness level with the
official fitness test of the International Association of
Firefighters (IAFF). It is written using the Gerkin Protocol,
which is the basis for the official IAFF fitness test and part of
their Wellness and Fitness Initiative.
During the test, the equipment gradually increases the incline
and speed in specific stages. The keypads are disabled.
Whatever stage you are at when the test ends determines
your aerobic capacity and establishes your VO2 max. Once
you complete the test, a fitness score appears as part of the
workout summary.

City Steps (Climber only)
The City Steps Program increases and decreases your step
rate in stages. In each stage, the rate gradually rises to a peak
and then falls quickly back to the starting rate. This pattern is
repeated. You can override the settings for each column. Any
increase or decrease made in one program segment will
increase or decrease all remaining portions by the same
amount.
Fat Burn (Climber only)
This intense program is designed to burn fat and increase
cardiovascular conditioning. Step rate fluctuates mildly within
a high-intensity range. Anytime during the program, you can
override the settings, and the remaining profile columns will
change accordingly. The changes are applied throughout the
remainder of the program.
Rolling Hill (Climber only)
This cardio-conditioning program provides a high step rate.
Like the Aerobic program, it involves several “peaks” and
“valleys” in step rate; however, the dips in intensity during
“rest” periods are smaller, resulting in more consistent
intensity. You can override the settings for each column. The
changes also raise or lower the columns on the remaining
portion of the program profile.
Steady Climb (Climber only)
The Steady Climb program slowly increases the step rate until
it culminates at the end of the program. You can override the
settings for each column. The changes also raise or lower the
columns on the remaining portion of the program profile.
Pyramid (Climber only)
The Pyramid Program slowly increases the step rate to a
“peak” and then slowly decreases back to a slower rate. As
the step rate increases, resistance is decreased and then
increases as the step rate decreases. Any increase or
decrease made in one program segment will increase or
decrease all remaining portions by the same amount.

Threading the Cables
Depending on the model of console you are installing and the
options it includes, you will need to install one or more of the
following cables:
Television (coaxial with F connectors)
Power
Ethernet
Precor recommends threading new cables from the top down,
to take advantage of gravity. A fish tape (a thin metal strip
with a hook or clasp on one end, available from professional
hardware vendors) can be helpful during this procedure.
To thread new cables through the equipment:
1. Select the console power cable (red and black, individual
leads), the Ethernet cable (flat and black), or the
television cable (round and black).
2. Thread the cable through the center column at the front
of the equipment.
3. Guide the end of the cable through the gap at the bottom
of the center column, then attach it to the appropriate
connector on the jack panel. Refer to the following
illustration and table for the position of each connector.
Important: Install coaxial cable using a torque wrench and
torque to not exceed 8 lb-in. If a torque wrench is not
available, install the coaxial cable using a wrench to “snug +
¼ turn.” It is permissible to use a wrench on the internal nut
to aid the tightening process.

plastic ties to bind the cables together below the clips and
to route them away from any moving parts.
Replacing Access Covers
After you install the console cables, you can return the access
covers to their previous positions on the equipment.
To replace the access covers:
1. Snap the front cover back into place. Reinsert the two
buttonhead screws you removed with the front cover,
then tighten them using a ⁵₃₂” hex wrench.
2. Position the top column cover between the handlebars
and the body of the AMT. Make sure that the sides of the
top column cover extend over the upper edges of the
body covers, then use the heel of your hand or a rubber
mallet to tap the cover back into place.
Leveling the AMT
It is important that you level and stabilize the AMT properly
every time you move it.
CAUTION: To eliminate movement, make sure the adjustable feet
are in contact with the floor. Also, make sure that the unit sits on
a flat surface. Adjusting the feet of the unit cannot compensate
for extremely uneven surfaces.

Alternatively, you can clean the equipment with Athletix
fitness equipment cleaning wipes (for more information, visit
www.athletixproducts.com)
CAUTION: Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions,
particularly dilution instructions, before using any cleaner on
Precor fitness equipment. Do not use concentrated cleaners at full
strength, or acidic cleaners of any kind; such cleaners weaken the
protective finish on the equipment and void the Precor Limited
Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids onto any part of the
equipment. Allow the equipment to dry completely before using.
Vacuum the floor underneath the equipment frequently to
prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt that can interfere
with its operation. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean the
grooves on equipment with foot pedals.
Daily Inspection

Storing the Chest Strap
If you purchased the optional heart rate chest strap, store it in
a place where it remains free of dust and dirt (for example, in
a closet or drawer). Be sure to protect the chest strap from
extremes in temperature. Do not store it in a place that may
be exposed to temperatures below 32° F (0° C).
To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened
in mild soap and water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a
clean towel.
Moving the Equipment
The equipment is very heavy. If you plan to move it to a new
location, obtain the help of an adult assistant and use proper
lifting techniques. If the equipment includes roller wheels on
one end, use the wheels to reduce the load on yourself and
your assistant.
To move the AMT:
1. Disconnect, unplug, and remove all external connections
(television, Ethernet, and power).
2. Lift the rear platform molding to remove it.
3. Lift the rear foot supports to tip the AMT forward onto its
roller wheels.
4. Push the AMT into its new location.
5. Lower the rear foot supports to the floor, then reattach
the rear platform molding.
Long-Term Storage
If you do not expect anyone to use the equipment for a long
time, perform the following tasks to prepare it for storage:
If it has a power cord, disconnect the cord.
If it has an optional power adapter, connect the adapter to
prevent damage to the internal battery.
Position it so that it will not become damaged and will not
interfere with people or other equipment.

Self-Powered Features
Important: This chapter of the manual describes Precor fitness
equipment that can operate without being connected to AC
power. This includes units equipped with P30 or P20 consoles.
However, P80 consoles must be connected to AC power through
their power supplies to operate. For this reason, this chapter does
not apply to units equipped with P80 consoles.
On self-powered equipment, the system initializes and
displays the Welcome screen when a user starts exercising. A
minimum rate of motion must be maintained for the banner to
appear, as shown in the following table. When a person meets
the requirements, the power that is generated allows the
equipment to function properly.
Table 4. Minimum requirements for operation
Equipment Rate of Motion
AMT
EFX
56 strides per minute (SPM)
40 strides per minute (SPM)
30 steps per minute
Climber
Bike
20 revolutions per minute (RPM)
Informational displays appear when the battery is low or
when the rate of motion drops below the minimum
requirements. The display explains what to do to retain
power. If the messages are ignored, the equipment begins
shutdown procedures to maintain the charge of the battery.
An optional power adapter can be purchased and provides
sustained power to the equipment. If you plan to change the
club settings, the power adapter is highly recommended. To
purchase the optional power adapter, check with your dealer.

Assembling and Maintaining AMT 800-Series Adaptive Motion Trainers
Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown
The equipment saves its battery charge by moving into a
shutdown mode. If the user does not maintain the minimum
rate of motion, a 30-second shutdown process begins.
In this mode, the console displays a countdown indicator and
ignores all keypresses. If no movement is detected or the rate
of motion remains below the minimum, the indicator changes
as the countdown continues.
Note: The user can resume exercising before the countdown
period elapses and the program will continue from the point
at which it was paused.
Important: If the equipment is connected to a CSAFE master
device, it follows a slightly different shutdown process. Ten
seconds before the equipment shuts down, it ends the exercise
session and displays a reset message while it disconnects from the
CSAFE master device. It ignores all keypresses during these last
ten seconds.
Symptoms of a Low Battery
If no one has used the equipment for an extended period of
time, the battery may need recharging.
Symptoms of a low battery include the following:
A flickering or erratic display
Loss of user and program information after the user stops
exercising, without any display of a workout summary or a
notification of pending shutdown
Important: To maintain a constant power source, use the optional
power adapter.

Using the Optional Power Adapter
After connecting the power adapter to the equipment, plug
the opposite end into the appropriate power source (120 V or
240 V).
CAUTION: When the optional power adapter is in use, make sure
that the power supply cord does not create a safety hazard. Keep
it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the power supply
cord or power conversion module is damaged, it must be replaced.
The control console functions differently when the power
adapter is connected. Because the power adapter provides a
constant source of power, a user can pause for brief periods
without initiating shutdown procedures. When the pause time
limit expires and the user has not resumed exercising, the
console returns to the Welcome screen. The default pause
time is 30 seconds for all fitness equipment. Refer to the
manual for your control console for instructions on setting or
changing the pause time limit. To learn how to install the
The Optional Power Adapter Kit
If you purchase the optional power adapter, you must also
purchase the internal cable kit. The kit supplies the cable,
bracket, and fasteners that connect the power adapter to the
lower electronics board.
CAUTION: The internal cable kit must be installed by authorized
service personnel. Do not attempt installation on your own as you
could void the Precor Limited Warranty. For more information,
Important: If this equipment includes a P80 console, the optional
power adapter and the internal cable kit must still be installed to
provide continuous power to the base unit and support its internal
battery.
Once the internal cable kit is installed, you can plug the
optional power adapter into the equipment. Plug the opposite
end into the appropriate power source for your equipment
(120 V or 240 V). Review the safety instructions found at the
beginning of this manual before using the power adapter.
