Procedure 2.1 - C942 Diagnostic Program (Units Built Before

July 21, 1997)

The M9.41S diagnostic program cycles through the following modes:

Software Version Mode. Displays the PROM version number.

LED Mode. Illuminates each of the LEDs mounted on the upper PCA.

Lift Mode. Allows you to verify that the lift calibration number increments and decrements as the

INCLINE keys are pressed.

Power Bits Mode. Allows you to verify that the power bits number increments and decrements

as the SPEED keys are pressed.

Note:

When the treadmill is in power bits mode and the SPEED ▲key is selected, the treadmill speed

will increase twice as fast as it does when the treadmill is in a normal operating mode.

Procedure

1. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet, then turn on the treadmill with the circuit breaker.

b. Press and hold the STOP, SPEED ▼, SPEED ▲and QUICK START keys

simultaneously.

c. The electronic console displays the version number of the PROM mounted on the

upper PCA. Record the PROM version number.

d. Following the version number, a horizontal line sweeps from top to bottom and then a

vertical line sweeps from right to left.

Note:

The lines check the LEDs mounted on the upper PCA. If the lines are broken when they sweep

across the electronic console, replace the upper PCA.

e. After the LED test, the electronic console displays the potentiometer increment

number.

f. Press the INCLINE keys. Verify that the running bed inclines and declines as the

INCLINE keys are pressed.

g. Watch the electronic console. When the potentiometer increment number is displayed

on the electronic console, enter power bit mode by starting the running belt.

Note:

When the running belt is started, the number of power bits will be displayed. Power bits represent

C942 Treadmill

the amount of power applied to the drive motor. Power bits are the product of selected speed and

applied load.

h. Press the SPEED ▲ and ▼keys. Verify that the power bits number increments and

decrements as the SPEED keys are pressed.

i. Press STOP to return to the Enter Your Weight banner.

j. Turn off the treadmill with the circuit breaker, then unplug the treadmill from the wall

hypothetically numbered for 1 to 7 from left to right. Therefore, ENTER would be key 1,

INCLINE ▼ would be key 2, etc. (see Diagram 2.1).

Placing the C942 Treadmill in diagnostic mode causes the software to perform the following

operations:

a Test the LED’s mounted on the upper PCA;

b Provide the option of calibrating the lift system;

c Display the drive motor power bits;

d Display and test the heart rate function;

e Display the error code log;

g Test the circuit breaker trip function.

Procedure

1. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet, then turn on the treadmill with the circuit breaker.

b. Press keys RESET,5,1,7,6,5,7,6,1, sequentially.

c. Following the version number, a horizontal line sweeps from top to bottom and then a

vertical line sweeps from right to left.

Note:

The lines check the LEDs mounted on the upper PCA. If the lines are broken when they sweep

across the electronic console, replace the upper PCA.

d. After the LED test, the electronic console displays the potentiometer increment

number.

e. Press the INCLINE keys. Verify that the running bed inclines and declines as the

INCLINE keys are pressed.

f. Watch the electronic console. When the potentiometer increment number is displayed

on the electronic console, enter power bit mode by starting the running belt.

last 10 errors that occurred. Error 1 will be the most recent error and error 10 will be

the oldest error. If more than 10 errors occur, the most recent error will be inserted in

position 1 and all other errors will be pushed down one position. The error that was in

the 10th position will be lost. If you wish to clear the error code log, press the QUICK

START and STOP keys, simutaneously.

k. Press the ENTER key to exit the error code log and enter the key pad test.

l. Press each key one at a time the display will confirm the key that was pressed. Press

Procedure 2.5 - Selecting U. S. Standard or Metric Units (Units

Built Before July 21, 1997)

Selecting United States standard units causes information to be displayed in feet, miles and

pounds. Information is displayed in meters, kilometers and kilograms if metric units are selected.

After you have selected a measurement standard, the software compiles and records workout

information in the units of the measurement standard selected. Changing to the alternate

measurement standard after your workout has started will cause invalid data to be displayed. For

this reason, change the measurement standard only after turning ON the treadmill.

Procedure

1. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet, then turn on the treadmill with the circuit breaker.

b. With the Enter Your Weight banner scrolling, press and hold the SPEED ▲and QUICK

START keys simultaneously until the Press ▲for MPH or ▼for KPH message scrolls

across the screen.

c. Use the SPEED ▲or SPEED ▼key to select the measurement standard.

Note:

When the treadmill is turned off or unplugged it will remember the last measurement standard

selected.
