CHAPTER 2: IMPoRTANT SAfETy INSTRUCTIoNS
loCATIoN of THE UNIT
Place the unit on a level surface and away from direct sun light. The intense UV light can cause discoloration of plastics. Locate in an area
with cool temperatures and low humidity. Leave a clear zone behind the unit of at least 24". This zone must be clear of any obstruction and
allow the user a clear exit path from the unit. Do not place the unit in any area that will block the openings or vents. The unit should not be
used in a garage or covered patio.
lEVElINg THE UNIT
Locate a level, stable surface to position the equipment. The equipment has levelers located below the bottom step. To access
the levelers, remove the end caps (C3X) or CONTROL ZONE (C5X, C7XE and C7XI). CAUTION: There is an electrical plug
located under the CONTROL ZONE and will need to be unplugged before the cover can be completely removed. Use an allen
wrench to level the unit. Once stable, replace parts as they were removed.
HEIgHT REQUIREMENTS
The Climb Mill adds 30" - 38" (76 - 96cm) to a user's height. For example, a 6' (183cm) tall user will be 7'8" (234.4cm - 254.4cm) off the floor.
Total height of the user on the Climb Mill should not exceed 9'10" (300 cm), which means that users taller than 6'8" (204cm) should not use this
equipment.
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.
The 3x, 5x and 7xe
Climbmills
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 (like the 7xe and 7xi), the TV power requirements are included in the unit. An RG6 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 (3x and 5x). For units with an add-on PCTV (3x and 5x), the TV power requirements are separate.
NOTE: ALL UNITS WITH VIRTUAL ACTIVE™ MUST BE POWERED!
110 V UNITS
All Matrix 3x, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 110 V
Climbmills
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. No adapter should be used with this
product. These bikes 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
All Matrix 3x, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 220 V
Climbmills
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. No adapter should be used with this
product. These bikes can be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per 15 A dedicated circuit.
Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.
North American power cord plugs shown.
Depending on your country, the plug type may vary.
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.
