MATRIX DEDICATED CIRCUIT/ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT INFO
All Matrix Ascent Trainers require the use of a 15 amp or 20 amp
“dedicated circuit,” with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground, for the
power requirement. Quite simply this means that each outlet you plug
Ascent Trainers into should not have anything else running on that
same circuit besides other Ascent or Incline Trainers (up to 3 per 15
amp circuit and 4 per 20 amp circuit). The easiest way to verify this is to
locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a
time. Once a breaker has been turned off, the only thing that should not
have power to it are the Ascent/Incline Trainers in question. No lamps,
vending machines, fans, sound systems, or any other item should lose
power when you perform this test.
Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must
have an individual neutral/ground connection coming from it, and
terminating at an approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single
neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.
In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire
must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet that will have
the maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from
the circuit breaker box, to each outlet, is 100 ft or less, then 12 gauge
wire may be used. For any distance greater than 100 ft from the circuit
breaker box to the outlet, 10 gauge wire must be used.
For your safety and Ascent Trainer performance, the ground on this
circuit must be non-looped. Please refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-
23. Your Ascent Trainer is provided with a power cord with a plug listed
below and requires the listed outlet. Any alterations of this power cord
could void all warranties for this product. Multiple Ascent Trainers can
be powered on one dedicated circuit. (3 units per 15 Amp and 4 units
per 20 Amp dedicated circuit.)
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The Matrix Ascent Trainer must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
The Ascent Trainer is equipped with a cord having an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If the
user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could
void the Matrix limited warranty.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician if the user is in doubt as to whether the product
is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
product if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by an
electrician
