Operating and Maintaining the P80 Console  
SPACING—The below minimum spacing  
recommendations are based on a combination of the  
ASTM (U.S.) voluntary standards and EN (European)  
regulations as of October 1, 2012, for access, passage  
around, and emergency dismount:  
Treadmills—a minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on each  
side of the treadmill and 2 m (78 in.) behind the  
machine.  
Cardio equipment other than treadmills—a  
minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on at least one side, and  
0.5 m (19.7 in.) behind or in front the machine.  
Careful consideration should be given to the  
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act  
(ADA), US Code 28 CFR (see Section 305). ASTM  
standards are voluntary and may not reflect current  
industry standards. The actual area for access, passage  
around, and emergency dismount is the responsibility of  
the facility. The facility should consider the total space  
requirements for training on each unit, voluntary and  
industry standards, and any local, state, and federal  
regulations. Standards and regulations are subject to  
change at any time.  
Important:These spacing recommendations should be used  
when positioning equipment away from sources of heat, such  
as radiators, heat registers, and stoves.Avoid temperature  
extremes.  
Keep equipment away from water and moisture. Avoid  
dropping anything on or spilling anything inside the  
equipment to prevent electric shock or damage to the  
electronics.  
When using the treadmill, always attach the safety clip to  
your clothing before beginning your workout. Failure to  
use the safety clip may pose a greater risk of injury in the  
event of a fall.  
Keep in mind that heart rate monitors are not medical  
devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement,  
may affect the accuracy of the heart rate readings. The  
heart rate monitors are intended only as exercise aids in  
determining heart rate trends in general.  
Do not operate electrically powered equipment in damp  
or wet locations.  
Never operate this equipment if it has a damaged cord or  
plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped,  
damaged, or exposed to water. Call for service  
immediately if any of these conditions exist.

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.

Note: This is a recommendation only. NEC (National Electric  
Code) guidelines or local region electric codes must be  
followed.  
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, then 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.

Getting Started  
The P80 console offers administrators and users the ability to  
set default settings that meet their specific needs. To  
accomplish this, the console supports settings for different  
classes of users depending on their administrative rights.  
A guest user exercises on a piece of equipment without  
signing in or creating a Preva account.  
A registered user has created a Preva account and uses a  
sign-in password or Preva Token to use that account.  
A registered service technician uses a sign-in password  
with extra permissions to administer console settings.  
An administrator is always registered, uses a sign-in  
password and has full access to the console settings.  
Changes to the Personal Information and Preference settings  
are saved to a registered user’s Preva account. An  
unregistered user can change preference settings; however,  
because they lack a personal account, those changes are not  
saved, and apply only to their current workout.

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.  
Always be aware of and follow the console’s instructions for  
proper operation.

Workout Limits  
The Workout Limit settings give you control over how the  
equipment is used. Use these settings to create reasonable  
limitations for equipment usage including speed, incline,  
resistance, and duration.  
In general, fitness equipment use is based on its popularity  
with users and its availability during a site’s busiest times of  
day. Settings to enforce time limits will help locations restrict  
user usage during the busiest hours to provide more access to  
equipment for more users.  
Workout Limit settings are not associated with or saved as  
part of a personal account and users do not have access to  
them. Both administrators and service technicians have view

Using the Touch Heart Rate Feature  
Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on your  
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.  
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 an 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 heartbeats (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.

Operating and Maintaining the P80 Console  
Figure 10: 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 P80 Console

Using a Chest Strap Transmitter  
Signals used by the chest strap transmitter (or  
heart rate strap) may interfere with  
WARNING  
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.

Ending a Workout  
Some preset workouts have a five minute cool down period  
added to the end of the workout. .  
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  
five minute cool down period allows your heart rate to return  
to its normal, resting state.  
To end your workout, touch Pause, and then Finish. A  
summary screen for your current workout appears. The  
measurements include:  
Distance  
Calories  
Duration  
Average movement rate/min (or the appropriate measure  
based on equipment type)  
Average Heart Rate  
If you have created a personal account, you can save your  
workout so that you can use it again at another time. To

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 and screen require little maintenance once  
installed. Precor recommends that you clean the console and  
screen 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).

Operating and Maintaining the P80 Console  
To clean the screen:  
The manufacturer recommends diluting one part 91%  
isopropyl alcohol solution in one part water, or using the  
91% isopropyl alcohol solution in its original strength. Be  
sure to follow the solvent manufacturer’s precautions and  
directions when using any solvent.  
CAUTION: Potentially hazardous situations associated with the  
use of isopropyl alcohol may result in minor or moderate injury  
and property damage. To avoid these situations, follow all  
instructions and recommendations in the manufacturer’s Material  
Safety Data Sheet and product label.  
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 screen, so  
that drips do not seep into the console.  
Apply the cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using gritty  
cloths.  
Changing the Belt (Newer Model AMT Only)  
The AMT uses belts to provide motion. These belts eventually  
wear and must be replaced.  
When the belt stride count reaches 90 million, the message  
BELTS MUST BE CHANGED SOON scrolls on the Welcome  
screen. While this message appears, the AMT operates  
normally.  
Important: If this message displays on your AMT, please contact  
Precor Customer Support for assistance.  
When the belt stride count reaches 100 million (and the belt  
has not been changed), the message BELTS CHANGE  
REQUIRED scrolls continuously on the Welcome screen. The  
input keys are not functional and the user cannot enter values  
or begin a workout until the belts are changed. Please contact  
Precor Customer Support to schedule a belt change.

SPACING—The below minimum spacing  
recommendations are based on a combination of the  
ASTM (U.S.) voluntary standards and EN (European)  
regulations as of October 1, 2012, for access, passage  
around, and emergency dismount:  
Treadmills—a minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on each  
side of the treadmill and 2 m (78 in.) behind the  
machine.  
Cardio equipment other than treadmills—a  
minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on at least one side, and  
.5 m (19.7 in.) behind or in front the machine.  
Careful consideration should be given to the  
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act  
(ADA), US Code 28 CFR (see Section 305). ASTM  
standards are voluntary and may not reflect current  
industry standards. The actual area for access, passage  
around, and emergency dismount is the responsibility of  
the facility. The facility should consider the total space  
requirements for training on each unit, voluntary and  
industry standards, and any local, state, and federal  
regulations. Standards and regulations are subject to  
change at any time.  
Important:These spacing recommendations should be used  
when positioning equipment away from sources of heat, such  
as radiators, heat registers, and stoves.Avoid temperature  
extremes.  
Keep equipment away from water and moisture. Avoid  
dropping anything on or spilling anything inside the  
equipment to prevent electric shock or damage to the  
electronics.  
When using the treadmill, always attach the safety clip to  
your clothing before beginning your workout. Failure to  
use the safety clip may pose a greater risk of injury in the  
event of a fall.  
Keep in mind that heart rate monitors are not medical  
devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement,  
may affect the accuracy of the heart rate readings. The  
heart rate monitors are intended only as exercise aids in  
determining heart rate trends in general.  
Do not operate electrically powered equipment in damp  
or wet locations.  
Never operate this equipment if it has a damaged cord or  
plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped,  
damaged, or exposed to water. Call for service  
immediately if any of these conditions exist.

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.  
To level the AMT:  
1. Gently rock the AMT while standing on one of its foot  
plates and grabbing the opposite handlebar. First stand on  
the left foot plate and grab the right handlebar to rock the  
AMT, then repeat the step while standing on the right  
foot plate and holding the left handlebar. If there is any  
movement, ask your assistant to tip the unit on its side  
while you locate the adjustable feet.

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

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 P10 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  
40 strides per minute (SPM)  
40 strides per minute (SPM)  
30 steps per minute  
Climber  
Bike

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 on a unit equipped with a P30 or P10 console,  
the power adapter is highly recommended. To purchase the  
optional power adapter, check with your dealer. Refer to  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
64  
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 workout 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  
Inability to decrease the incline setting (if any)  
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.

Options / Accessories  
Many options or accessories have components that are connected internally or mounted  
inside the electronic console. The following guidelines determine the warranty for these  
components. If the internal components are installed by the factory or by an authorized  
dealer as part of the original sale and delivery, they have a warranty that is identical to the  
warranty of the equipment in which they are connected or mounted. If the internal  
components are not installed by the factory or by an authorized dealer as part of the  
original sale and delivery, they have a 90 days parts and labor limited warranty. All  
components that are not internally connected have a 90 days parts only limited warranty.  
Satisfactory proof of purchase is required in all cases.

demonstrated.  
b. it has not been subjected to accident, misuse, abuse, improper service, or  
non-Precor modification.  
c. claims are made within the warranty period.
