Embedded Console Signal Flow:
1. Quick Start and Stop: The user presses these keys to start, pause or complete a workout. The signal travels
from the Center Console Keypad through the CCB, to the PC Interface Board. At this point, signal travels
both to the Main CPU to aect the User Interface as well as to the FitCPU. From the FitCPU, commands travel
through the Translator Board and down to the MCB.
2. Entertainment Keys: The Entertainment Keys control the Channel, Volume and Input (TV, iPod, USB) set-
tings of the display. The signal travels from the Center Console Keypad through the CCB, to the PC Interface
Board. If the iPod or USB function is selected, CH/TRK +/- signals will also travel from the CCB to the iPod or
USB.
3. Speed / Incline Hot Bar Buttons: The Speed / Incline Hot Bar Buttons control the speed and incline of the
unit. The signal travels from the Hot Bar through the CCB, to the PC Interface Board. At this point, signal
travels both to the Main CPU to aect the User Interface as well as to the FitCPU. From the FitCPU, commands
travel through the Translator Board and down to the MCB. From the MCB, the incline command signals travel
to the Elevation Motor.
4. Contact and Wireless Heart Rate: If the user grips the Contact Heart Rate Grips, signal travels from the grips
through the FitCPU, through the PC Interface Board, and to the Main CPU. If the user is wearing a Wireless
Heart Rate Transmitter, signal is picked up by the Wireless Heart Rate Receiver, sent through the FitCPU
through the PC Interface Board, and to the Main CPU. At that point, the User’s Heart Rate is displayed on the
user interface screen.
5. Stop Switch – Hot Bar (Treadmills ONLY): The Stop Switch is used to either pause or stop the treadmill. The
signal travels from the Stop Switch on the Hot Bar through the CCB, to the PC Interface Board. At this point,
signal travels both to the Main CPU to aect the User Interface as well as to the FitCPU. From the FitCPU, com-
mands travel through the Translator Board and down to the MCB.
6. E-Stop Lanyard (treadmills ONLY): Power is cut from the drive system of the treadmill if the E-Stop Lanyard
is pulled. The signal travels from the E-Stop Switch through the FitCPU. From the FitCPU, commands travel
through the Translator Board and down to the MCB.
7. Personal Cooling Fans: The signal travels from the Fan Keypad through the Fan Relay Board, through the
CCB, through the PC Interface Board, through the FitCPU, and to the two Personal Cooling Fans.
8. Headphone Jack: The Headphone Jack transfers audio signal from the entertainment device (TV, iPod, USB)
to the user’s headphones. Signal travels from the entertainment device through the CCB, and into the Head-
phone Jack.
9. Ipod: Not present in 8 Series consoles
10. USB Port: Users can plug a USB stick or USB power cable into the USB Port for 3 purposes:
a. to power an external device via a USB power cord
b. to download workout data to a USB stick via the eFitness System
c. to play .MP3 audio les from a USB stick.
The signal travels between the USB and CCB. From the CCB, signal travels both to the Main CPU via the PC
Interface Board to aect the User Interface as well as to the Headphone Jack.
11. Cable, CCB A/V: This cable transfers all audio and video signals between the CCB and PC Interface Board.
