Active Status Light (ASL)
(Spinner® ChronoSpinner® Chrono™ Power bike.™ Power models only)
About
The Active Status Light (ASLActive Status Light: Service and maintenance status light.) is a service and maintenance status light located on the back of the Spinner® Chrono™ console. The ASL provides a visual indication of the machine operational status. The current implementation supports four 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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The console lower control board (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.).
- 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.
The ASL utilizes a combination of blue and yellow lights to indicate the current operational machine status.
| ASL State | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| OFF | The unit is powered OFF when the pedals are stopped or there is an ASL hard failure. The ASL brightness can be set to OFF. |
| Blue Solid | Normal operation Indicates that the ASL has not detected any system error codes. |
| Blue Pulsing |
Preventative maintenance reminder
The maintenance counter starts at 1000 miles and counts down the active use hours to 0. When the counter reaches zero hours, the ASL will begin pulsing blue indicating preventative maintenance is due. |
| Yellow Solid | Indicates an error has occurred, was self-corrected and the machine can be used. The fault can be manually cleared or will auto-reset if no new detected errors after 50 miles of use. |
| Yellow Pulsing | There is a current non-recoverable fault condition, there is a loss of a major function and the machine is out-of-service. Machine service is required. |
ASL Setup and test
Menu Path: service menu > select ASL SETUP
Range: ON, OFF, YELLOW ON, BLUE ON
ASL SETUP is used to switch ON or OFF the ASL indicator light for all state conditions and to test the ASL yellow and blue LEDs.
| ASL SETUP | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| ON | Normal ASL operation, Indicates all maintenance state conditions: solid blue, pulsing blue, solid yellow, and pulsing yellow. |
| OFF | Switches OFF the ASL light, no maintenance ASL state conditions are indicated. |
| Blue ON | Tests the ASL blue LED. When selected the blue ASL light is ON. |
| Yellow ON | Tests the ASL yellow LED. When selected the yellow ASL light is ON. |
Resetting the ASL state and maintenance counter
Menu Path: service menu > select MAJOR INSP
Range: KEEP, CLEAR
Use MAJOR INSP setting to reset the ASL state, error log, and maintenance counter to factory defaults after a major inspection determined that the bike is in return to service condition.
| MAJOR INSP | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| KEEP | Keep the current ASL state condition and the current maintenance miles. |
| CLEAR |
Clears and resets the current ASL state condition, clears the error log, and the current maintenance miles to factory default.
After routine inspection, preventative maintenance or repairs, select CLEAR to reset the ASL to normal state (steady blue), clear the error log, and reset the maintenance counter (1000*) to factory defaults. Note: * the maintenance miles default can be changed in the ".ini" file. |
Clearing a Pulsing Yellow and/or Steady Yellow ASL state
Clearing a pulsing yellow state
An ASL pulsing yellow state is triggered when an error code event occurs and is logged. To clear a pulsing yellow state, the error condition causing the ASL pulsing yellow must first be resolved either manually or the machine may resolve and self-clear the issue. A manually or machine self-cleared error code will change the ASL state from pulsing yellow to the solid yellow state.
Clearing the solid yellow state
Menu Path: service menu > select CLEAR ERROR
Range: KEEP, CLEAR
Clearing the error code from the Error Log resets the ASL state from the steady yellow state to the steady blue state. Select CLEAR ERROR > CLEAR to clear the error log.
