Mandatory periodic inspections and STK
For maintaining the correct state of the electrical equipment, checks and tech-
nical safety inspections have to be carried out repeatedly (e.g. within Germa-
ny, acc. to BGV A3, and accident prevention regulations and technical safety
tests according to the Medical Device Operating Regulations). Here it should
be noted that standard regulations for electrical devices are concerned here and not
measures that are specific to zebris.
For safety reasons it is recommended before each use of the measuring system, to
check the correct state of all the connection leads, as well as the mains cable, mains
plug and mains socket. Should certain parts be damaged, these must be replaced be-
fore continuing to use the measuring system.
Regular technical safety checks are compulsory for the belts. These checks may only
be carried out by an authorized qualified electrician. For further information please see
the User Manual supplied by the treadmill manufacturer.
For the FDM-T force sensors, no technical safety tests are stipulated by zebris.
If the type plate or other important labels (warning notices) are damaged or obliterated
they have to be replaced by the manufacturer for safety reasons.
Each treadmill has an anti-slip area alongside the running surface on both sides. These
stepping areas offer a firm hold for getting off, in emergencies. Check this anti-slip area
at regular intervals and replace it straightaway if it shows signs of wear.
