DISPLAY ERROR CODES

If an error in operation occurs, an error code will be displayed on the screen.
A log of all operational errors that have occurred since the last reset can be viewed in the Diagnostics
Menu. (see section 6.14).
The following list shows the error codes that could appear on the display and their meaning.
8.5.1 ERROR 51
DESCRIPTION:
A Communication problem between the Display and the Motor Control Board.
ACTIONS:
Was the treadmill working correctly and then someone opened the motor cover or console (e.g.
cleaned the motor compartment or did the treadmill get moved) prior to the Error 51 appearing? If
yes go to Step 1. If the unit had been functioning correctly for a period of time and no one had
moved the treadmill or touched any internal components prior to the Error 51 appearing, go to Step 2.
Step 1: Check if the Data Cable is correctly plugged into CON 6 on the M.C.B. and the connectors
are clean and clear of dust or debris. Also, check the upper data cable is connected to the upper
board correctly. Check if the data cable is pinched or damaged (common when the upper frame is
removed during a move). If the connections are OK and there are no signs of damage to the data
cable, then check it for continuity or install a new Data Cable and test.
Note: Data cables have 5 wires inside. 2 are for communication (Data Transfer and Receive) and if
either of these are pinched then an Error 51 will appear on the Display assuming the power (12 VDC)
and Ground (Green) wires inside the Data Cable are not damaged (if either of these are damaged
the Display won't light up as the circuit is open). The 5th wire in the data cable is for the Safety key.
If the problem still persists, go to Step 2.
Step 2: Turn the treadmill power on and off several times and try to start the unit and see if an Error
52 appears. Remove the motor cover and check the Operational Code on the M.C.B. and check it
against the table in section 8.4. If a code other than a B or C appears then it is likely a new M.C.B. is
required.
Other Possibilities:
Check the EPROM on the M.C.B. as it could be inserted incorrectly (e.g. upside down have
•
damaged pins, have corrupted software in it or be blank and have no data on it.
A damaged section on the upper board is effecting the communication and needs to be
•
replaced.

8.5.2 ERROR 52
DESCRIPTION:
A short on the Motor Control Board (M.C.B.) caused by M.C.B. component failure or in some cases a
drive motor fault.
ACTIONS:
Check if there is a P on the M.C.B.'s L.E.D. window. If so this confirms a short on the M.C.B.
Note: YOU SHOULD complete a Motor Check in the Diagnostics Menu (section 6.10) to see if the
motor is damaged and causing the short on the M.C.B. If a damaged motor is causing the M.C.B. to
short and you install a new M.C.B. without changing the motor then the new M.C.B. will short
immediately.
Check the motor wires (+ & -) are correctly attached to the M.C.B. and Test.
