BalanceTutor user manual 200824.doc
3.2 Mechanical installation
In order to ensure proper installation and safety, the manufacturer, an authorized service crew
or an authorized dealer must always perform transport and installation of the devices.
For security reasons behind the BalanceTutor system is a safety area of at least 3m x 2m
length and width or a minimum of the width of the equipment must be free for space to
move. You must note that also the area in front of the treadmill is a safety area. So even in
front of the treadmill, a safety area of at least 3m x 2m as a free fall space is required.
The provided space for the BalanceTutor system must be even and horizontal.
Models with leveling sockets (adjustable "feet") at the rear of the BalanceTutor system have
to be adjusted so that they have a firm stand, otherwise it could lead to noises like knocking
or rattling during the training. Check the level arrangement with a water-level at al axes on
the frame.
The bearing capacity of floor and ceiling in the building must be higher than the weight of
the machine. It has to be approved for the MediTouch device by an authorized body of the
operator. Example BalanceTutor in standard configuration, Dimensions ground frame
unweighting system: L 232 cm x W 161 cm = 3.74 m² platform. Net weight of BalanceTutor
system: 485 kg, static bodyweight of subject: 150 kg, dynamical weight of subject: 900 kg
(up to 6 times the bodyweight), over all weight loads of system on platform: 1385 kg =
bearing capacity of platform: 370 kg (~400 kg) / m².
3.3 Electrical installation
Installation of any electrical device and MediTouch devices must only be carried out at a
voltage power connection with ground wire including leakage-current protection-switch
(interrupter) and according to VDE 0100 or/and the currently valid regulations and
directives. Requirements for special locations, areas and establishments (e.g. medically used
areas) must be strictly adhered. PE-connection (protection-earth contact) is stipulated at all
running-
machines. The voltage drop between the beginning of the consumer’s installation
and the wall socket must not be more than 4% (DIN VDE 0100-
520). It is the consignee’s
and user’s personal responsibility to check
the correct functions of the mains connection
An overload or a voltage drop (even short-time) of more than 20 % of the mains voltage
might cause malfunctions and/or defects and might totally switch-off the BalanceTutor
system.
