Checklist
Use the following checklist to verify that your laboratory is ready for the Bertec Instrumented Treadmill installation. Skip the items
in the list that do not apply to your installation setup.
□ Mechanical characteristics of the oor are such that vibrations will not affect force measurements or they can be
digitally low-pass ltered.

□ Measurements of the pit comply with the dimensions given in this guideline. In case of oor installation there is
enough clear area around the treadmill for a comfortable installation (see Site Preparation).
□ A conduit or an over-the-surface cable cover is provided to route the cables safely to the electronic control unit (see
Site Preparation).
□ The false ooring around the treadmill is easily removable for periodic maintenance.
□ There is proper clearance between the false ooring and the treadmill (see General Considerations and
Recommendations).
□ The proper power source to run the treadmill is available (see Power Requirements).
□ The oor surface (pit bottom) is clean.
□ Proper locations for the electronic control unit and the computer are reserved based on the cable lengths (see
System Components and Control Electronics).
