 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

Chapter 1

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 access to the console’s operating

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 50 pounds (22.7 kg) are

detected within the speed and position limits of the feature.

Users weighing less than 50 pounds (22.7 kg) may not be

detected depending on their speed and location. Always be

aware of the console’s instructions and follow them for proper

operation.

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.

screen will return to the default language.

Tip: You can save your language selection by getting a Preva

account. Once your preference is stored in your account, the

screen will return to that language whenever you sign in.

To change the display language before beginning your

workout:

1. On the Welcome screen, touch the language icon.

Figure 11: Language icon

2. On the Language screen, select your language choice and

touch OK.

The screens will now display in your preferred language.

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.

Introducing Users to the P80 Console 45

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

 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.

Figure 12: 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.

46 Operating and Maintaining the P80 Console

Using a Chest Strap Transmitter

WARNING

Signals used by the chest strap transmitter

(or 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.

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.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always

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).

72 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 (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

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

 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.

Chapter 4

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 3. Minimum requirements for operation

Equipment Rate of Motion

AMT 40 strides per minute (SPM)

EFX 40 strides per minute (SPM)

Climber 30 steps per minute

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.

Refer to Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown.

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

Obtaining Service.

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.

Self-Powered Features 51

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,

refer to Obtaining Service.

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.
