Console Installation and Removal

About

This procedure provides instructions to remove and install the P82 console.

The console armor is designed to attach to cardio equipment bases ( including the EFXElliptical Fitness CrossTrainer, TRMTreadmill, AMTAdaptive Motion Trainer, and RBKRecumbent Bike/UBKUpright Bike bikes) that use a universal four bolt mounting plate. The number of interface cables that connect to the console will vary depending on the console type (standard or media adapter models) and the type of equipment.

Removal Procedure

ClosedRemoval Procedure
  1. If the console is operable, create a cloned system settings USBShort for Universal Serial Bus, is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines the cables, connectors and communications protocols used in a bus for connection, communication, and power supply between computers and electronic devices. flash drive, see Console Installation and Removal. This will save both the system settings and TV channel list to the USB drive. This USB drive will be used to configure the replacement console.

TIP: Creating a cloned system settings USB drive (exporting the system settings) allows you to clone (import system settings) the system settings and TV channel list to the replacement console.

  1. Disconnect (or switch OFF) the console power:
    1. For treadmills, switch the ON/OFF circuit breaker OFF.

  1. Carefully position the console onto the base equipment display mounting plate. While positioning the console, push extra cable length down through the display plate center hole and make sure the cables are not pinched between the console armor and base mounting plate. Align the bolt holes and secure using the four 5/32" (4 mm) hex key bolts. Before fully tightening the fasteners, verify the following items ant then fully tighten the mounting bolts:
    • All cables are fully connected and securely connected.
    • Cables are not under tension, pinched, or blocking the console machine control mechanism.
IMPORTANT: Only use mounting screws that came with the console hardware installation kit or the screws that were removed during the console removal. The screw length is important, if too long the covers may be damaged, if to short the console may not be properly secured and will not provide sufficient electrical contact.

  1. For treadmill installations, make sure that the cables that route along the front of the dash from the mounting plate center hole to the left and right uprights are routed through the plastic cable guides and secured using the attached flex ties.

Note: All Precor equipment bases use a universal four bolt mounting plate to attach the console to the base unit.

  1. For treadmill installations, reinstall the treadmill dash back cover, see the treadmill model specific Service Manual (download from the Precor Partner's website).
