Cables can be a hazard for tripping. It is recommended that all cables be routed to prevent tripping.
Alternatively, use a oor cable cover or some other non-permanent means to hold the cables to
the oor.
The main features of the treadmill Electronic Control Unit are the power
switch, the status lights, the door handle, and the Remote E-Stop
Pendant. When the power switch is in the on position (vertical), the
cabinet door cannot be opened, even if the door handle is unlocked
and in the open position. Each control cabinet ships with a key for the
door handle. It is recommended that the cabinet remain locked at all
times and the key be stored in a safe manner. The status lights include
Power, Motor, and Fault.
The control cabinet contains power circuitry that operates at dangerous current and voltage
levels. At no time should the electronics be turned on while the cabinet door is open. There are
no user serviceable parts contained in the control cabinet, any work inside the cabinet is to be
done by Bertec Corporation.
The nal feature of the control cabinet is the Remote E-Stop Pendant. The pendant is tethered to the
control cabinet via a 25 m long cable. The user is not able to detach the pendant from outside the
cabinet and the treadmill will not be operable if the cable is detached from inside the cabinet. The
pendant houses an emergency stop button as well as an auxiliary button. The E-Stop button can be
pressed at any time to stop the treadmill belts or incline and prevent further belt or incline movement
until the button is twisted and released from its pushed position. When pushed, the button remains in a
locked position until it is rotated in a clockwise direction and allowed to pop back up.
