4.3 Controlling the Treadmill
The following sections discuss various controls and their effect on the operation of the Treadmill
Controller.
4.3.0 Odometer Reset
In the Normal mode, the odometer will display the accumulated distance traveled. When the
“ODOMETER RESET” is pressed, the odometer will be reset and held at zero. It will begin to count up
when the button is released.
In a Time Limit or Dist Limit mode, the remaining duration of the session time or distance is displayed.
When the duration reaches zero, the treadmill belt will automatically stop, terminating the exercise session.
Simply replace the animals with the next group and press the “ODOMETER RESET” button. The duration
counter will be reloaded and automatically the treadmill belt will start and run again.
Press the black round button in the lower left corner on the front of the Treadmill Controller to
reset the odometer or duration. It will begin to count up or down when the button is released.
4.3.1 Run
When the “TREADMILL BELT” toggle switch is set to “RUN”, the treadmill belt is enabled to run and the
speed can be continuously adjusted by the “SPEED” knob. The display will report the current speed as set
by the “SPEED” knob and the mode indicator will be a progress bar that grows from left to right. The
odometer or duration will begin to count up or down.
