Safety Features
CAUTION:
USE EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH IMMEDIATELY IF PROBLEM ARISES.
ATTENTION:
en cas d'urgence STOP immédiatement la commande si problème se
pose.
Emergency Stop Switch on Handrail:
The emergency stop switch (mushroom-shaped) is mounted beside the right handrail and
is to be used in an emergency. Pressing the emergency stop switch will interrupt the 230
V - mains supply and initiate an emergency stop. You can release the emergency stop
switch by raising the red mushroom head!
Emergency Abandonment
In emergencies the treadmill is abandoned in a different way. First jump straddle onto
the side-covers in order to let the running-surface move freely underneath the legs.
Then stop the treadmill with the normal stop or with one of the emergency stop devices.
Current Limiting of the Belt Drive
The treadmills are equipped with a current limit control function, which reduces power
consumption and increases safety. Main feature is the current limiter after time overflow.
This means, if the running belt is blocking for more than 10 seconds (this means the
motor current limit is exceeded) the motor current will be reduced to 6 A. This is always
recommended in case something gets caught in the belt so that the belt will stop
automatically. Once the current limit control has been triggered, the torque of the motor
is reduced to a minimum to prevent damage to the motor and electric system.
