Product Owner’s Manual: Self-Powered Features 6

Self-Powered Features

The power source for the EFX is the user. When a person pedals

above 40 strides per minute (spm), the power that is generated

allows the EFX to function properly.

Informational displays appear when the battery is low or when the

user has stopped pedaling during a workout. The display explains

what to do to retain power. If the messages are ignored, the EFX

begins shutdown procedures to maintain the charge of the battery.

Refer to Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown.

An optional power adapter can be purchased and provides

sustained power to the EFX. If you plan to customize your unit, the

power adapter is highly recommended. To purchase the optional

power adapter, check with your dealer. Refer to Obtaining Service.

Informational Displays Prior to

Shutdown

The EFX saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode.

Whenever PEDAL FASTER appears on the display, the heart rate,

SmartRate®and program indicators turn off. If the user does not

maintain a stride rate of 40 spm, then a 30-second shutdown

process begins.

PEDAL FASTER appears on the display followed by a set of dots

indicating that the EFX is shutting down. If no pedaling is detected,

the EFX eventually shuts off.

Note: The user can resume exercising if he or she begins pedaling

before the 30-second period elapses.

Note: If the EFX is connected to a CSAFE master device, a slightly

different scenario occurs. When ten seconds remain before the EFX

shuts off, the workout session ends. RESETTING appears in the

lower display while the EFX disconnects from the CSAFE master

device. All key presses are ignored. Pedaling has no effect on the

display.

Product Owner’s Manual: Self-Powered Features 7

Symptoms of a Low Battery

If no one has used the EFX for an extended period of time, the

battery may need recharging.

Symptoms of a low battery include:

• A flickering or erratic display

• No workout statistics appear or accumulate

A sustained exercise session may help recharge the battery. Or, you

can connect the optional power adapter to maintain a constant

power source.

Using the Optional Power Adapter

Diagram 2 shows the receptacle for the optional power adapter.

After connecting the power adapter to the EFX, plug the opposite

end into the appropriate power source (110/120v or 220/240v) for

your unit.

CAUTION: When the optional power adapter is in use, ensure

that the power supply cord does not create a safety hazard.

Keep it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the power

supply cord or power conversion module is damaged, it must be

replaced.

Diagram 2: Optional power adapter

The display functions differently when the power adapter is

connected. Because the power adapter provides a constant source

of power, the user can stop pedaling during a workout and pause for

brief periods without the EFX initiating shutdown procedures. When

the pause time limit expires and the user has not resumed pedaling,

the display returns to the Precor banner. Refer to Setting a Pause

Time Limit.

Replacing the Battery

The EFX battery is built to last for a long time. However, if you feel

that the battery may need replacing, check with an authorized

service technician. Refer to Obtaining Service.

CAUTION: The battery stored inside the EFX contains

hazardous materials and must be disposed of according to

Hazardous Waste Regulations. Refer to Hazardous Materials

and Proper Disposal.

Product Owner’s Manual: Club Features 8

Club Features

These next few pages provide information that lets you customize

the EFX for your club or facility. All these features remain hidden to

the facility’s patrons and can only be accessed using special key

presses. Read this section if you want to:

• Change the display to a different language

• Change the display to U.S. standard or metric

• Set the maximum workout and pause times

• Set a cool-down time limit

• View the odometer

• Display the number of hours the EFX has been in use

• View the software versions and part numbers

• Check the error log

• Display the serial number

• Connect to CSAFE equipment

Club Programming Tips

• Always start at the Precor banner.

• Electrical power must be supplied. A minimum stride rate (40

strides per minute) must be maintained while programming the

EFX. A constant power source is available if you use the optional

power adapter. If you plan to program the EFX, purchasing the

optional power adapter is highly recommended.

Note: If you do not use the optional power adapter and the

pedaling speed falls below 40 spm, no warning is given when

the EFX moves into its 30-second shutdown procedure.

• The club programming mode is accessed by pressing the

RESET key at the Precor banner. The remaining key presses

must occur quickly and without pause.

• The function of the QUICKSTART key is disabled while in club

programming mode.

• The club programs appear sequentially. Pressing the ENTER key

saves the changes you make and moves you through the

programs. The SELECT key displays the name of the data field

you are viewing or toggles between the available selections. To

exit a program without saving any changes, press the RESET

key.
