POWER REQUIREMENTS

DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO
A “Dedicated Circuit” means that each outlet you plug into should not have anything else running on that same circuit. The easiest way to verify this is to locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a time. Once a breaker has been turned off, the only thing that should not have power to it are the units in question. No lamps, vending machines, fans, sound systems, or any other item should lose power when you perform this test.

Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must have an individual neutral/ground connection coming from it, and terminating at an approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
For your safety and to ensure good unit performance, the ground on this circuit must be non-looped (isolated). Please refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Any alterations to the standard power cord provided could void all warranties of this product.

Units with LED and Premium LED consoles are designed to be self powered and do not require an external power supply source to operate. Without an external power supply, the console’s start-up time may be delayed. Add-on TV’s and other console accessories will increase the time needed for start-up. An external power supply will ensure power is provided to the console at all times and is recommended when add-on accessories are used.

For units with an integrated TV (Touch), the TV power requirements are included in the unit. An RG6 quad
shield coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings on each end will need to be connected to the cardio unit and the video source. Additional power requirements
are not needed for the add-on digital TV.

NOTE: All units with Virtual Active™ must be powered.

110 V UNITS
110 V units require the use of a 100-125 V, 60 Hz and a 15
A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 5-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. These cycles can be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per 15 A dedicated circuit. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.

220 V UNITS
220 V units require the use of a 216-250 V, 50 Hz and a 15
A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 6-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. These cycles can be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per 15 A dedicated circuit. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The unit must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The unit is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If the user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could void the Matrix limited warranty.

ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL INFO
In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet that will have the maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from the circuit breaker box to each outlet, is 100 ft (30.5 m) or less, then 12 gauge wire should be used. For distances greater than 100 ft (30.5 m) from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, a 10 gauge wire should be used.

ENERGY SAVING / LOW-POWER MODE
All units are configured with the ability to enter into an energy saving / low-power mode when the unit has not been in use for a specified period of time. Additional time may be required to fully reactivate this unit once it has entered the low-power mode. This energy saving feature may be enabled or disabled from within the ‘Manager Mode’ or ‘Engineering Mode.’

ADD-ON DIGITAL TV
Additional power requirements are not needed for the add-on digital TV.
An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings will need to be connected between the video source and each add-on digital TV unit.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

LOCATION OF THE UNIT
Place the equipment on a level and stable surface away from direct sunlight. The intense UV light can cause discoloration on the plastics. Locate your equipment in an area with cool temperatures and low humidity. Please leave a clear zone on both sides of the equipment that is at least 24” (600 mm). This zone must be clear of any obstruction and provide the user a clear exit path from the machine. Do not place the equipment in any area that will block any vent or air openings. The equipment should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors.

LEVELING THE EQUIPMENT
It is extremely important that the levelers are correctly adjusted for proper operation. Turn leveling foot clockwise to lower and counter-clockwise to raise unit. Adjust each side as needed until the equipment is level. Use of a level is recommended.

BRAKE SYSTEM
This equipment utilizes magnetic resistance to set specific levels of resistance. The resistance level setting in addition to the RPM is used to determine the power (watts) output.

PROPER USAGE
To determine proper seat position, sit on the seat and position the ball of your foot on the center of the pedal. Your knee should bend slightly at the furthest pedal position. You should be able to pedal without locking your knees or shifting your weight from side to side. Use the lever/knob under the seat to adjust the seat position. Adjust pedal straps to deisired tightness.

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.

Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

WARNING!
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate.
Over exercising may result in serious injury or death.
If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.
