110 V UNITS
All Matrix 3x, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 110 V Steppers require the use of
a 100-125 V, 60 Hz and a 15 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-
looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be
a NEMA 5-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product. Steppers can be daisy-
chained together with up to 4 units per 15 A dedicated circuit.
Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.
220 V UNITS
All Matrix 3x, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 220 V Steppers require the use of
a 216-250 V, 50 Hz and a 15 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-
looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be
a NEMA 6-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product. These Steppers can
be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per dedicated 15 A
circuit. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The unit must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. The unit is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. If the user does not follow these grounding
instructions, the user could void the Matrix limited warranty.
ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL INFO
In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper
gauge wire must be used from the circuit breaker box, to
each outlet that will have the maximum number of units
running off of it. If the distance from the circuit breaker box
to each outlet, is 100 ft (30.5 m) or less, then 12 gauge
wire should be used. For distances greater than 100 ft
(30.5 m) from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, a 10
gauge wire should be used.
ENERGY SAVING / LOW-POWER MODE
All units are configured with the ability to enter into an
energy saving / low-power mode when the unit has not
been in use for a specified period of time. Additional time
may be required to fully reactivate this unit once it has
entered the low-power mode. This energy saving feature
may be enabled or disabled from within the ‘Manager
Mode’ or ‘Engineering Mode.’
ADD-ON PCTV (3X AND 5X)
A 15 A or 20 A “Dedicated Circuit” with a non-looped
(isolated) neutral/ground is required. Each PCTV requires
at least 1.2 A of current. No more than 12 PCTVs should
be used for each 15 A circuit and no more than 16 PCTVs
should be used for each 20 A circuit. The power outlet
should have the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product. An RG6 coaxial
cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings will need to be
connected between the video source and each add-on
PCTV unit.
ADD-ON DIGITAL TV (3X AND 5X)
Additional power requirements are not needed for the
add-on digital TV. An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’
compression fittings will need to be connected between
the video source and each add-on digital TV unit.
It is essential that your unit is used only indoors, in a climate controlled room. If your unit has been exposed to
colder temperatures or high moisture climates, it is strongly recommended that the unit is warmed up to room
temperature before first time use. Failure to do so may cause premature electronic failure.
CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. READ
OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE USE.
CAUTION
DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO
A “Dedicated Circuit” means that each outlet you plug into should not have anything else running on that same
circuit. The easiest way to verify this is to locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a
time. Once a breaker has been turned off, the only thing that should not have power to it are the units in question.
No lamps, vending machines, fans, sound systems, or any other item should lose power when you perform this test.
Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must have an individual neutral/ground connection
coming from it, and terminating at an approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single neutral/ground from one
circuit to the next.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
For your safety and to ensure good unit performance, the ground on this circuit must be non-looped (isolated).
Please refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Any alterations to the standard power cord provided could void all
warranties of this product.
The S3x, S5x and S7xe are designed to be self powered and do not require an external power supply source to
operate. Without an external power supply, the console’s start-up time may be delayed. Add-on TV’s and other
console accessories will increase the time needed for start-up. An external power supply will ensure power is
provided to the console at all times and is recommended when add-on accessories are used.
For units with an integrated TV (like the 7xe and 7xi), the TV power requirements are included in the unit. An RG6
coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings on each end will need to be connected to the cardio unit and the
video source. Additional power requirements are not needed for the add-on digital TV (3x and 5x). For units with an
add-on PCTV (3x and 5x), the TV power requirements are separate.
NOTE: ALL UNITS WITH VIRTUAL ACTIVE™ MUST BE POWERED!
