Tectrix Climbmax 150 - Test Mode; System Diagnostic Procedures

3. TEST MODE
Test Mode is used to test the climber's electronic hardware. You enter Test Mode by holding the ENTER key
down while turning the ClimbMaJlon. All the displays light up as long as you hold the key down. When you
release the key, the readouts show the version number of the microprocessor software and the state of the
slack switch (SLACK or TIGHT). The Interval and speedometer displays show moving patterns.
The keys have these special functions in Test Mode:
DISPLAY SHIFT
'0
00
ENTER
HELP
CLEAR
Display odometer and RPM sensor data
Loosen Belt
Tighten Belt
Test LED digit groups
Test LED Segments
Clear Function disolav or Exit
The indicators show the state of the various inpuVoutput signals:
Distance Smart Link Out off
Program/Level Smart Link In off
Calories Slack Switch on
Calories/Hr Heart Rate Sense off
Elapsed Time RPM sensor off -
Time Remaining RPM sensor on -
The G and 00 keys run the belt tensioning motor as long as you hold them down. Don't hold the G to
loosen the belt for too long, or you may tangle or unsnap the belt.
SHIFT displays the odometer reading (the total distance climbed). The Interval display shows a graphic
display of the output of the speed sensor. At high speeds only the bottom row is lit; at low speeds the entire
display lights. Except at very low speeds the columns ought to be nearly the same. Variations in height of
more than one LED may indicate a problem with the RPM sensor or its encoder disk.
SHIFT also begins and ends a simple test of the Smart Link electronics. The Distance indicator should flicker
when the test begins; if the climber's In and Out jacks are connected together, both the Distance and Pro-
gram/Level indicators should turn on steadily.
ENTER lights up each display grouping (a matrix column together with an alphanumeric digit or a group of
sixteen LED's in the bar graph) in turn to locate shorted display drive lines.
HELP lights up each display segment in order to locate segments that are shorted together.
CLEAR restores the version readout if the odometer reading or a display test pattern is displayed; otherwise
it exits Test Mode and displays the TECTRIX ClimbMaJl sign-on.
