The brake system consists of a variable power supply with an output voltage based on the resistance level
selected by the user. The voltage is applied to an electromagnet that is mounted to the generator frame,
and produces an eddy current breaking force applied to the flywheel of the generator.
1. Connect a DC voltmeter to the wired terminals of the electromagnet using clip leads, and dress
the leads out the back of the unit so as not to interfere with the motion of the crankarms.
2. Pedal the unit (to supply power) and place the unit in the “Hardware Validation” service mode
(Reset 5,1,7,6,5,7,6,1). Run the “Brake Test” and press resistance “UP” ▲ until the unit is at
resistance level 7.
3. The voltmeter should read between 10 and 20 VDC depending on how fast you are pedaling.
4. If no voltage is present, either the variable power supply on the lower control module is bad (no
output from the lower control module) or there is an open in the electromagnet.
