3.6 - Inclination check
In order to execute the elevation check it is obviously necessary that the treadmill is under tension
and should the hood be open, it is necessary to act very carefully. To apply tension, with the cover
open, the following operations must be executed, in order:
1) block the security contact in the closet position(Fig.1)
2) connect the power plug
3) main switch to the ON position
WARNING:
At this moment, the machine is under tension and you are advised to act very carefully in order to
avoid accidental contact with the parts under tension.
The elevation check can be performed utilizing the software from the PC in order to send an
elevation command to the treadmill. If the treadmill elevates itself in the proper way after the
command is given, the elevation check is considered OK; otherwise not OK.
After the execution of the check and given that one must still work on the treadmill with the cover
open, it is recommended to remove the tension following these steps:
1) Switch OFF the treadmill
2) Unplug the power plug
3.7 - Treadmill check
Essential tools:
• RAM Serial Tester
This check is executed utilizing an instrument called a “RAM Serial Tester” (CERST), which is
able to send elevation and rotation commands to the treadmill.
The objective of this check is to verify the behaviour of the treadmill in reaction to commands
received from the “Serial Tester”.
If the treadmill exhibits the correct behaviour, one must hypothesize that the cause of the
malfunctioning is external and must be researched on the PC software that prepares the structure of
the commands, or on the system which transmits commands.
When the serial tester receives power, the display shows the velocity and inclination information.
The instrument has four buttons with the following functions:
START/STOP : activates and deactivates the treadmill
VEL/INC : moves the cursor on the display and allows the selection of velocity or inclination
UP () : increases by 0.5 the velocity or inclination
DOWN () : decreases by 0.5 the velocity or inclination
The “Serial tester” device is also provided with an RS232 plug for the connection to the treadmill.
When one presses the Start/Stop, Up or Down buttons, the serial tester sends the corresponding
command to the treadmill.
