3.4 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
For your safety and Ascent 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 of 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.)
CHAPTER 3: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
MATRIX DEDICATED CIRCUIT/ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT INFO
All Matrix Ascent Trainer units 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.
