Test keyboard
To test all the keys on the keyboard, press [ENTER] when the message, “KEY
TEST” is displayed. Then, press any key on the keyboard and that key’s name
will be displayed in the text line. Press [CLEAR] as the last key to exit this test.
Test serial port
To test the serial port, press [ENTER] when the message, “SERIAL TESTS” is
displayed. This test performs a serial loop back test. Select the CSAFE RS-232
selection. You will need a loop-back test cable inserted into the appropriate
connector port to successfully run this test. Console will display either “PASS”
or “FAIL”.
Test alternator
To test the machine’s alternator, press [ENTER] when the message, “ALT TEST”
is displayed. This test verifies the alternator field routines through the console.
Position yourself on the machine and press [Level: UP] for “field on”. After
exercising briefly you should build up resistance. For “field off”, press [Level:
DWN].
Test tach response
To test the machine’s tachometer, press [ENTER] when the message, “TACH
TEST” is displayed. Start exercising on the machine. The console should
regulate the alternator resistance based on the tach signal to maintain
approximately 2,000 RPMs while you are exercising. If not, there is a possible
problem in the AC tap or field circuit. Check the alternator, the AC tap wire, the
field wire, the diode, the terminal posts, and the main cable.
I/O Test
Press [ENTER] when the message “I/O TEST” is displayed. The AUX and
B+ values represent the current and voltage delivered from the alternator
respectively. AUX is scaled by 1000 and B+ is scaled by 300. These values will
increase with the speed of the alternator (note that both values will reach 0 if
the alternator is left at rest). The “---” string is displayed at all times since the
StairClimber does not require a magnetic key.
