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 cycles 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.
110 V UNITS
All Matrix 110 V cycles 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. These cycles can
be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per 15 A circuit. This outlet should be
a NEMA 5-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be
used with this product. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.
220 V UNITS
All Matrix 220 V cycles 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. These cycles can
be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per 15 A circuit. This outlet should be
a NEMA 6-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be
used with this product. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The unit must be grounded if connected to a power supply source. 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.’
WARNING!
• Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.
• Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working
properly. Never operate any product if it appears damaged, or has been
immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for replacement or repair.
Failure to follow these specifications can cause damage
to your product and can void the warranty:
• All video and power outlets must be functional the day of delivery
/ assembly of the product. The client is responsible for any
additional installation charges associated with return visits.
• Electrical supply may fluctuate in your area. To ensure stable
performance of the product, use the proper gauge wire.
DANGER!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Disconnect the power cord from this equipment and check with
a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are 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 a qualified electrician.
