Cybex 800S Stepper Owner’s Manual
Connecting Steppers for Racing
The 800S Stepper offers a group race feature, where two to eight users compete against each
other. To use this feature, you need to use the telephone-style SmartLink cables to attach the
steppers. You can link up to 8 steppers in this manner:
1. Each the 800S Stepper is shipped with a termination plug already inserted in one of the
communications sockets. You may need to remove this plug before making the
connections described below.
2. Place a termination plug in the left socket of the first stepper. Run a SmartLink cable from
the right socket on that stepper to the left socket on the second.
3. Run another cable from the right socket on the second stepper to the left socket on the
third.
4. Continue in this way until you reach the last stepper. Place a termination plug in the right
socket of the last stepper.
While the SmartLink cables look like standard telephone cables, their internal wiring is
different. You cannot use telephone cables to connect the steppers; you must use
SmartLink cables.
Setting Options
The 800S Stepper offers an easy-to-access setup menu to let you match the stepper’s default
settings and limits to your users' needs and the way you want to run your facility. You can set
the maximum workout length, the language and measurement units used on the display, and
more.
To set options:
1. Enter Setup Mode by turning the stepper off, then holding down the Switch Display key
while turning it back on.
2. The first option shown is Language. For each of the following settings, use the up and
down arrows to choose the value you want, then press Enter to move on to the next
option.
• Language: Choose between English (the default), French, German, and Spanish. The rest
of the prompts will display in the language you choose.
• Units: This appears only if you choose English as the language. Choose either English (feet
and pounds) or Metric (meters and kilos). All other languages use metric units automatically
• Maximum Workout Time: The longest time a user is allowed to set for his or her workout.
The original setting is 30 minutes. You can change this to up to the absolute maximum of
60 minutes.
• First Workout Time: This is the default time shown when a user begins a workout. The
factory setting is 20 minutes; you can set this to up to the Maximum Workout Time.
