Bolt grade markings are used to categorize bolts according to the bolt material, manufacturing process, and mechanical properties.The grade of the bolt is stamped on the head of the bolt.
US SAE bolts: The bolt grade markings are determined by the number of the lines stamped on the head of the bolt. The number of lines is always two less than the grade of the bolt. Count the lines, add two, and you can determine the grade of the bolt.
Metric bolts: On metric bolts, the bolt grade is identified by a bolt grade number stamped on the head of the bolt.
|
|
CAUTION: Always replace bolts with the same grade bolt. If you don’t know the grade of the replacement bolt – DO NOT USE THE BOLT. |

Touchscreen (P62, P80, and P82) console Preva PBSPreva Business Suite communication protocol
The touchscreen consoles use a security token for communication to the Precor servers. The security token is a hash string that is sent with every API call from the FE’s to the Amazon Cloud. The security token originates after the equipment is registered at the location. The console issues a ‘Call’ which returns the registration token and the fitness equipment URL. Every event after that uses the URL and the token to validate/authenticate communication with the Amazon servers and Preva Business Suite (PBS).
All communication with Precor servers is currently done via outgoing (originating from the console) HTTPS sessions. The console utilizes NTPNetwork Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. to set its clock and for synchronization. At no time is Precor connecting to the customers facility network to "push" any data. The console initiates all data requests.
