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 treadmill performance, the ground on this circuit must be non-looped (isolated). Please
refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Your treadmill is provided with a power cord with a plug listed below and requires the
listed outlet. Any alterations of this power cord could void all warranties of this product.
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. For units with
an add-on digital TV (5x only), the machine in which the add-on digital TV is connected
to powers the add-on digital TV. Additional power requirements are not needed for the
add-on digital TV. For units with an add-on PCTV (5x only), the TV power requirements
are separate.
110 V UNITS
All Matrix 5x, 7xe and 7xi 110 V treadmills require the use of a 100-125 V, 60 Hz and
a 20 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This
outlet should be a NEMA 5-20R and have the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product.
220 V UNITS
All Matrix 5x, 7xe and 7xi 220 V treadmills require the use of a 216-250 V, 50 Hz and
a 20 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This
outlet should be a NEMA 6-20R and have the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The treadmill 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 treadmill 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 (T5X)
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 (at 110 V or 220 V). 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 (T5X)
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.
