SECTION 4
STAND-ALONE GENERAL EXERCISING
WITHOUT THE PC
The faculties of the Treadmill Controller allow the user to provide various execise regimens for the
animals. The belt speed and exercise duration of the session can be directly controlled and timed by way of
the front panel. Likewise, once setup, the controller can automatically limit the exercise session by the
distance traveled or by session duration. Typically, the controller is setup for the desired exercise session.
Then the subjects are loaded. The shock intensity will be set and applied to the grids. Then the treadmill
belt will be set in motion. When the session is finished, the shock is switched off and the subjects are
removed.
4.0 Stand-Alone Initialization
Attention! Use the following procedure to prevent the application of an undesirable
treadmill belt speed or high intensity shock upon the application of AC power.
Disable the shock stimulus for all lanes by setting toggle switches toward the rear of the treadmill.
Turn the “INTENSITY” knob counter-clockwise, all of the way, to zero.
Set the “TREADMILL BELT” toggle switch to “STOP”.
Now, switch on the Treadmill Controller. The power switch is above the AC power receptacle on the
rear panel.
The front panel display should report the current speed setting, an accumulated odometer distance of zero,
and the acceleration settings.
