Error Log & CPA Event Log
About
The Error Log is a service maintenance function used to store "log" and view detected error
codes. On LED consoles (P10, P30, P30i and P31) you use the "Error Log" to view error
codes. On touchscreen consoles (P62, P80, and P82) you use the "
CPA
1
Event Log" to
view error codes.

IMPORTANT
: On touchscreen consoles (P62, P80, and P82), use the
CPA Event
Log
and not the
Event Log
to view the maintenance error codes. The touchscreen
console Event Log includes additional OEM use only error codes.

where it
is stored and viewed in the Error Log or CPA Event Log. The error log shows the error code
along with related machine metrics, such as, the machine mileage (or hours), the time when
the event occurred, the date, and other machine specific associated data.
Error event codes are sequentially stored in memory on a First-In Last-Out basis, the new-
est error code is stored in the number one stack position pushing any current stored error
codes down one position. When the memory is full, the next code is stored pushing the old-
est error code from the stack removing it from memory.
Repeating Error Codes
When an error event is detected, the error code information will be stored into the error log.
However, when multiple instances of the same error code event occur within the same hour
or odometer reading, only the first occurrence will be logged. One of the following conditions
must occur to cause a repeating error code to be subsequently logged:
l
the elapsed time must exceed one hour from the first occurrence
l
or the odometer mileage must change from the first occurrence
l
or a different intervening error code is logged

Lower Printed Circuit Assembly board; also refered to as the Lower PCA or simply as the
lower board. On treadmills, it is the console to base function interface and the motor con-
troller unit (MCU). On self-powered units, it is the lower PCA console to base function inter-
face.
