ENG4 AUTO-CALIBRATION MODE
1. Check Configuration in ENG1 before auto-calibrating treadmill.
2. Press the
“SELECT/SCAN”
key once - DO NOT hold down the key. SEG 4-5 should display
""AAUUTTOO""
in the
time window
3. Press the
“START”
key once. Target elevation displays in the elevation window and target speed displays in the
speed window
4. To see actual elevation and speed readings press
“SELECT/SCAN”
key once again. Actual A/D reading of
the elevation voltage is now displayed in the elevation window while the actual speed is displayed in the
speed window
5. The treadmill software will look where the elevation motor stalls for the lowest point the treadmill elevation
motor will go. Then the treadmills elevation will back off using a predetermined Offset. The resulting reading
is saved as 0% grade. Then the treadmill software will look where the elevation motor stalls for the highest
point the treadmill elevation motor will go. Then the treadmills elevation will back off using a predetermined
Offset. The resulting reading is saved as 12% or 15% grade depending on what model the console is
configured for. Meanwhile the belt is being driven while the speed is being monitored. As it hits the minimum
speed, half maximum speed and maximum speed the PWM is recorded in each of these targets.
6. To look at these numbers after calibration go into engineering mode go to "ENG1" press
“SELECT/SCAN”
key.
Time window should display
""PP00""
7. The saved numbers will be in the speed window, which is the large 7 segment displays to the right of the dot
matrix display. The number in the time window (small 7 segment displays below the dot matrix display)
corresponds to the target number designator as follows.
ENG5 SPEED SENSOR MODE
SENSOR TEST is displayed on the display at the top of the board. The PWM is displayed on the 7-segment display
on the left and the belt speed on the right. To test the sensor increase/decrease the PWM and
measure the belt speed with a hand held device.
ERROR MESSAGES
Three types of errors can occur; speed, elevation and NOVRAM. All three use same display to indicate the error. A
speed or elevation error will have the error number in the time window. An elevation error shuts down the treadmill
and disables normal operation, including safety key detection. A speed error also shuts down the treadmill. The user,
however, can enter engineering mode after an error announcement.
DGA3J Upper Board: Engineering Guide continued
ERROR DISPLAY DESCRIPTION SOLUTION
On power up, the system verifies the values stored in NOVRAM. If an error occurs, the system displays "init" in the
time window and automatically writes the defaults values to the NOVRAM, including operating hours and distance.
Normal operation occurs after the write is completed.

Current elevation position is outside
zero and max elevation values stored
in NOVRAM, due to elevation signal
getting lost. In Edit Variables Mode,
elevation value is usually either 0 or
255.
Speed of the belt surpasses the
calibrated max speed by 2.0mph or
km/h, as measured by the speed
sensor.
The system checks for valid P6 configuration. It
writes the default values with respect to P6, if valid.
If not, it writes default values to the NOVRAM based
on a "4" configuration. No user interface necessary
- occurs on power up.
The system clears user program values. No user
interface necessary - occurs on power up. If "init"
occurs, "UCLr" also occurs afterwards, but not vice
versa.
Enter Edit Variables Mode (ENG1) and
manually position elevation within the min and max
values. If not possible, recalibrate min and max
elevation.

For the Manual program, the user controls both speed and incline during run time. For P2 and P3 programs, the user
controls incline manually. Minimum program time is 2 minutes (demo purposes); maximum time is 99 minutes. For P4,
both speed and incline are programmed controlled. Minimum program time for P4 is 2 minutes; maximum time is 99
minutes. For P5 and P6, the user controls speed manually. For P7, the user enters target heart rate. The system
controls incline. Minimum program time for P7 is 15 minutes (5 minute warm up, 5 minute cool down, 5 minute heart
rate control minimum); maximum time is 99 minutes.
User programs are programs designed by the user, storing both speed and incline changes. The user has 12
possible interval changes. The minimum time is 12 minutes, max is 97 minutes.
SAFETY SWITCH
If the safety switch magnet disconnects from the console, the treadmill shuts down if running a program. The treadmill
displays
""-- -- -- --""
in the time window indicating that the safety switch is out. This is a safety precaution to warn the user
that power is still being applied to the board. This safety switch condition occurs in any mode, including engineering
modes.
When the magnet reconnects to the console, the board resets. Any activity or program run time information prior to
the reconnection will be lost. An E5 error message may be displayed when the safety key was removed
