Active Status Light (ASL)

On treadmills, the Active Status Light (ASL) is a service and maintenance status light located on the front lower center of the front hood cover.

On Ellipticals, the ASL light is located at the rear of the unit on the lower right side of the right drive housing cover. The ASL also functions as the ASL "Wakeup" switch used to temporarily power-on the ASL and as a shortcut method to clear error states. .

• An externally visible indicator of the current machine operational status. There are four supported states: 1) solid blue - indicates normal operation, 2) pulsing blue - indicates preventative maintenance is required; 3) solid yellow - indicates an error has occurred but the machine is useable; and 4) pulsing yellow - indicates a loss of major function was detected.
• When either the exerciser starts pedaling or when the ASL Wakeup switch (ASL light cover) is pressed, the ASL light will power-on and start indicating the current machine ASL status. The ASL light will remain ON while the machine is being used (pedaled) and will switch OFF after 90 seconds of non-use (no pedaling).
• Because only one status color and state can be shown at a time, the condition states are prioritized as follows from lowest to highest: Blue Solid (lowest), Blue Pulsing, Yellow Solid, Yellow Pulsing (highest). Higher priority states are always shown before a lower priority state, until cleared.
• The console UPCAUpper PCA board determines the ASL state using inputs from the error log and maintenance counter. During active operation (workout in progress) or during the pause state, the console transmits the ASL state to the lower control board (LPCALower printed circuit assembly; generally this refers to the lower board. On treadmills, this is the motor controller unit (MCU), and on self-powered units, it is the main board in the lower section.).
• Only direct error code and maintenance counter data is used to determine the current machine ASL state. No special algorithms (e.g., user behavior) are utilized to determine the status.
• Similar to other self-powered products, the lower control board (LPCA) powers OFF between workouts. The power-on and power-off of the ASL are under control of the LPCA at all times. The console cannot control power-on or power-off. The LPCA powers ON when the user pedals above the minimum RPM and for one minute after stopping, and powers ON for 90 seconds when the Wakeup switch is pressed.
• Error code operation: A logged system error code will cause the ASL to begin pulsing yellow. If the error self-corrects, the ASL will change from pulsing to solid yellow. Depending on the error code type, after the end of a workout, the solid yellow light will either revert back to blue (or pulsing blue), or require the operator to do a manual reset from the service menu.
• Maintenance counter operation: The counter starts at 1000 miles and counts down the miles of active use to 0 miles. When the counter reaches zero, the ASL will begin pulsing blue indicating preventative maintenance is due.
• Maintenance counter operation: The counter starts at 250 hours and counts down the hours of active use to 0 hours. When the counter reaches zero, the ASL will begin pulsing blue indicating preventative maintenance is due.

• Viewing the ASL light

  • When in active use with exerciser striding.

  • When the exerciser presses the Wakeup switch located on the rear of the unit.

  • For 90 seconds after the exerciser ceases striding.

  • For 90 seconds after the Wakeup switch is pressed.

The ASL utilizes a combination of blue and yellow lights to indicate the current operational machine status.
