Breaking in the Equipment  
Precor equipment does not require an actual break-in period.  
However, moving components such as belts, gears, and  
bearings can settle while the equipment is being stored or  
shipped. This can cause the equipment to operate with a  
small amount of roughness or noise when it starts up for the  
first time.  
The equipment usually returns to smooth operation after a  
day or two of normal use. If it does not, contact your dealer  
for assistance. For more information, refer to Obtaining

consoles use the same mounting hardware and connector  
locations whenever possible. The installation sequence for  
any of them is as follows:  
Threading the cable assembly  
Connecting cables  
Completing the installation (tightening the mounting  
screws and attaching the back cover)  
The following sections describe how to perform these tasks.  
Threading the Cable Assembly (P80)  
Earlier in the installation, you threaded the necessary cables  
through the frame of the base unit and out the passthrough  
opening in the console mount. As you line up the back plate  
on the console with the console mount, you must make sure  
that the cable assembly passes correctly through the  
openings in both components.

Note: In the illustrations in this section, some cables are  
omitted for the sake of clarity.  
Connecting the Television Cable  
The console’s television tuner is mounted inside the console’s  
back plate. The tuner includes a short cable adapter that  
allows the television cable to be connected outside the back  
plate.  
To connect the television cable:  
1. Pull the cable out through the lower right corner of the  
back plate.  
2. Route the cable counterclockwise around the outside of  
the back plate.  
3. Attach the connector on the cable to the connector on the  
tuner cable and tighten the two connectors securely using  
two ⁷₁₆-inch open-end wrenches. Position both  
connectors above the upper right corner of the back plate.  
4. Use a plastic tie to secure the connectors to the top of the  
back plate. Pass the tie through the two small holes near  
the upper right corner of the back plate, then wrap it  
around the connectors and tighten it securely. Cut off and  
remove the protruding end of the tie.

The following illustration shows how the cable is positioned  
once it is installed.  
Figure 25: Connecting the television cable  
Connecting the Ethernet and Base Unit Data Cables  
Both the Ethernet and base unit data cables pass through the  
cutaway opening at the upper right corner of the back plate  
and connect to nearby modular jacks in the console. Because  
of this, it is important to exercise caution when connecting  
the cables. The black Ethernet cable connects to a jack just  
underneath the perforated metal bracket at the very top of  
the opening in the console. The gray base unit data cable  
connects to a lower jack closer to the back plate.  
Refer to the following illustration for the correct position of  
both cables.  
CAUTION: If you connect the base unit data cable to the wrong  
jack, the equipment will not function.

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 P40 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 3. 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 Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainers: EFX 885 / 835  
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  
power adapter, refer to The Optional Power Adapter Kit.  
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.

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 battery.  
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 battery 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 battery is low or 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,  
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 4: 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 heart rate straps may  
interfere with pacemakers or other  
WARNING  
implanted devices. Consult your physician  
and the manufacturers of your heart rate  
strap and implanted device before using a  
heart rate strap.  
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 are detected  
within the speed and position limits of the feature. Users  
weighing 50 to 89 pounds may not be detected depending on  
their speed and location. Always be aware of and follow the  
console’s instructions for proper operation.

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.  
A fourth message shows the minimum and maximum heart  
rates that correspond to that zone. This message is only  
displayed if:  
The first two messages are displayed.  
The user’s age has been entered.  
The user’s heart rate has been in the zone for at least one  
second.  
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.

Programs  
Preset workouts are a great way to tailor your workouts to  
your fitness goals, stay challenged, and add variety to your  
sessions. Most P30 equipment contains six preset workouts.  
Manual  
Heart Rate  
Interval  
Weight Loss  
Variety  
Performance  
The one exception is the AMT. It does not contain Variety or  
Performance workouts, and the Weight Loss workout has  
been replaced with a Fat Burner workout.  
Manual  
In 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.

Maintenance  
To keep the equipment functioning properly, perform the  
minor maintenance tasks in this section at the intervals  
suggested. Failure to maintain the equipment as described in  
this section could void the Precor Limited Warranty.  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always  
DANGER  
disconnect the equipment from its power source  
before cleaning it or performing any maintenance  
tasks. If the equipment uses an optional power  
adapter, disconnect the adapter.  
Cleaning the Console and Display  
The console requires little maintenance once installed. Precor  
recommends that you clean the console before and after each  
exercise session.  
To remove dust and dirt from the console:  
Wipe all exposed surfaces with a soft cloth that you have  
moistened with a solution of 30 parts of water to 1 part of  
Simple Green® (for more information, visit  
www.simplegreen.com).  
Important: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken  
the paint or powder coatings and void the Precor Limited  
Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids directly on the  
console or console’s screen.  
It is important to avoid using any corrosive chemicals on the  
console or screen.  
Always dampen the cloth and then clean the screen. Be sure  
to spray the cleaning liquid onto the cloth, not the console, so  
that drips do not seep into the console.  
Apply the cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using gritty  
cloths.
