3.15. EMERGENCY BUTTON
This is a safety device which allows the user to stop the machine in an emergency situation. It
consists of 2 microswitchs fixed to the machine display, which form a NC contact when the
emergency stop device is correctly positioned on the control panel during exercise.
If a user is in difficulty and press the emergency device from the control panel or pull the emergency
rope, the NC contact is opened then the Display board shows the message:
• LED display: “PRESSA KEY”
• VISIOWEB / UNITY display: “TOUCH THE SCREEN”
Moreover the CPU/ARM board sends a signal to the Drive which cuts off the power supply to the
tread belt motor, halting the machine.
3.16. C-SAFE BOARD
This board makes available a communication port, on 1 externally accessible connector, which can
be used for interfacing compatible C-Safe devices such as the Cardio Theater readers.
This connector is situated on the back of the display.
These connectors can also be interfaced, using a special cable, to an external PC for programming
the FLASH EEPROM.
3.17. BELT MOTOR
An asynchronous three-phase motor which, by means of a pulley and poly-v belt, turns the driving
roller of the tread belt. Is equipped with a normally-closed thermal cutout which opens when the
temperature exceeds a preset threshold, in order to safeguard the integrity of the motor. The thermal
signal reaches the driver as a NC external input signal. When this contact opens, the driver
generates an alarm.
It is equipped with a high inertia flywheel, to permit more gradual deceleration of the tread belt in
the event of a power outage or emergency stop.
ATTENTION: dangerous voltages are present at the motor and flywheel.

3.18. ELEVATION MOTOR
This is a linear actuator equipped with 24Vdc motor, integral reduction gear and a rod that is pushed
backward and forward by the motor. This rod acts upon a frame connected to the front wheels of the
machine: when the rod moves so does the frame, thereby lowering raising the machine.
The actuator has a built-in Hall effect sensor which acts as an encoder, generating pulses when the
motor moves. This furnishes a feedback signal on the motor movements, which is used for tracking
the position of the rod and hence the elevation of the machine.
