During maintenance, should the technician need to move the steps, the
holding brake handle can be pushed fully back to release the brake and allow
the steps to move freely. The console will flash an error if the holding brake
handle is left in the OFF position.
Note: Care needs to be taken when the steps are loose. Keep hands and fingers away
from the step chain, drive chain, and all other moving parts. Unless necessary for
service, it is recommended to always leave the brake set to ON.
Obstruction Sensor
At the base of the SCL 800 and under the steps are the unit obstruction sensors.
The sensors use an IR beam to detect if an obstacle is under the unit. The
obstruction sensors will stop step movement and the console will display an
“OBSTRUCTION DETECTED” message when an object comes between the
sensors. If this occurs during a workout, the workout will only be paused. Once
the obstruction is cleared, the user will be able to resume their workout.
The sensors are mounted by brackets to the unit frame and are connected to
the LPCA. The sensor on the left is the emitter and the senor on the right is the
receiver. See the SCL 800 service manual for
obstruction sensor replacement
