16 Bertec Corporation Instrumented Treadmill Manual
The Bertec installer will also make the necessary ground connections between the control cabinet and the treadmill mounting
plates. If necessary, the ground wire that runs from the control cabinet to the mounting plate can be disconnected at the mounting
plate using a at bladed screw driver. This connection MUST be reconnected before the treadmill is used. In the case of a
standard treadmill, the ground wire that runs between the mounting plates should not be disconnected by the end user.
Finally, the AM6500-TM unit is connected to the control cabinet using a cable similar the
gray FPA cables. The control cabinet end of this cable should not be disconnected by
the end user. The other end plugs into the AM6500-TM at the port labeled ‘Input’. The
AM6500-TM is powered by the control cabinet and does not need its own external power
supply.
The treadmill control cabinet is mobile and is thus able to be positioned at the customer’s discretion, with a few restrictions. The
cabinet should not block its own power cord’s wall connection. The cabinet should be positioned such that there is no tension on
the various motor cables and such that the motor cables are supported by the ground or a conduit along their entire path from
the treadmill to the cabinet. The cabinet should not be positioned at the back of the treadmill (the end opposite of the motors).
The control cabinet should not be positioned in a way that blocks air ow to the louvers at the top of the cabinet, or the perforated
area on one side of the cabinet.
The treadmill control cabinet contains several fans and will emit a constant low hum when turned on. The treadmill belt units will
emit a wide variety of noises ranging from low to high pitch depending on the speed at which the belts are run.
Lifting of Treadmill Components
The end user should not attempt to disassemble or move any component of the treadmill belt units unless under specic
instruction from Bertec or with the help of a Bertec installation professional. Lifting and movement instructions will be provided
prior to the case of any approved move. The treadmill control cabinet can be repositioned at the end user’s discretion by means
of rolling the cabinet on its castors. The control cabinet should not be lifted free of the ground by human power alone.
Cleaning Instructions
Over time, the treadmill belt units will likely build up a layer of dust that is generated by the belts wearing slightly on the underside.
This dust can be wiped up using a rag and denatured alcohol. The treadmill should not be cleaned using any other household
or industrial cleaners or water in any form. No parts of the treadmill should be removed by the end user for cleaning purposes.
