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 treadmill performance, the ground on this circuit must be non-looped (isolated). Please refer to NEC
article 210-21 and 210-23. Your treadmill 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 of this
product.
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.
110 V UNITS
All Matrix 5x, 7xe and 7xi 110 V treadmills require the use of a 100-125 V, 60 Hz and a 20 A
“Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a
NEMA 5-20R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this
product.
220 V UNITS
All Matrix 5x, 7xe and 7xi 220 V treadmills require the use of a 216-250 V, 50 Hz and a 20 A
“Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a
NEMA 6-20R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this
product.

Depending on your country, the plug type may vary.
GroUNdING INSTrUCTIoNS
The treadmill 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 treadmill 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.’
