2.2 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
MATRIX DEDICATED CIRCUIT/ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT INFO
All Matrix Climb Mills require the use of a 15 amp or 20 amp “dedicated circuit,” with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground, for the power
requirement. Quite simply this means that each outlet you plug Climb Mills into should not have anything else running on that same circuit besides
other Climb Mills (up to 3 per 15 amp circuit and 4 per 20 amp 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 Climb Mills 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.
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 or less, then 12 gauge wire may be
used. For any distance greater than 100 ft from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, 10 gauge wire must be used.
For your safety and Climb Mill performance, the ground on this circuit must be non-looped. Please refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Your Climb
Mill is provided with a power cord with a plug listed below and requires the listed outlet. Any alterations of this power cord could void all warranties
for this product. Multiple Climb Mills can be powered on one dedicated circuit. (3 units per 15 Amp and 4 units per 20 Amp dedicated circuit.)
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The Matrix Climb Mill must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The Climb Mill 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.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
if the user is in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by an electrician
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The Matrix Climb Mill must be AC powered. The Climb Mill is capable of being daisy chained together (up to 3 units per dedicated 15 amp
circuit) using a Matrix provided daisy chain (sold separately). Any alterations to the standard Matrix power cord will void all warranties.
