Additionally, 4Q Pulse Width Modulation motor control, the same motor control that helped make the Biodex Dynamometer the worldwide choice for extremity testing and rehabilitation, provides more consistent speed control than either AC or DC treadmill models can ever hope to attain.
CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS 1. All patients should consult a physician before beginning any rehabilitation program. Tous les patients doivent voir leur médecin responsable avant d'entreprendre la séance de rééducation. 2. Instruct patient on proper use and all treadmill safety features before beginning exercise. Expliquer au patient la bonne utilisation des systémes de sécurité...

CONTENTS 10. Never allow anyone to step onto the treadmill while the treadbelt is in motion. Always stop the treadmill prior to allowing the patient to step up onto the treadbelt. Ne jamais faire monter personne sur le tapis pendant que le tapis est en marche. Arrêter to jours le tapis avant que le patient ne s'y positionne.
3. THE NUMERIC DISPLAY/CONTROL PANEL The Biodex RTM 400 with Numeric Display provides a simple-to-use, easy-to-read, no-nonsense approach to treadmill exercise. Real time readings are displayed for Time, Distance, Calories and MET values. At the touch of a key, users can select speed, elevation and belt direction, or set an end time for exercise duration.
Page 10
CONTENTS For all parameters, immediate biofeedback is provided in numeric format for the selected parameter, as described below: • Time: Cumulative time in minutes/seconds from the point at which the treadbelt begins to move in either direction. • Distance (Miles/Kilometers): The distance covered in miles or kilometers from the beginning to the end of the current exercise session.

CONTENTS Safety Lanyard and Safety Stop: Disconnecting the Safety Lanyard (to the left side of Display/Control Panel) or pressing the red Safety Stop (to the right side of Display/Control Panel on the upper frame) at any time will cause the treadbelt to immediately ramp down to a full stop and reset to 0.0 mph.
4. BASIC OPERATION OF THE RTM 400 At this point, the RTM 400 should be ready for operation. To get the treadmill up and running simply follow the procedure below. Ensure that the <ON/OFF< switch, located on the left side of the front base, is set to the “l” (ON) position.
CHANGING MEASUREMENT UNITS The Biodex RTM 400 can be configured to display either standard English or Euro (metric) mea- surements. To change measurement units: Turn the treadmill OFF and then ON.
CONTENTS USING THE RS-232 COMPUTER INTERFACE PORT The RTM 400’s Remote RS-232 Serial Port can be configured through hardware jumpers on the display circuit board as follows: RS-232 for single treadmill with single host PC COM: Port RS-422 for multiple treadmills attached to a single PC COM port. •...

Quarterly: Lubricate Treadbelt and Slider Deck The Biodex Lubricant Kit is designed to reduce friction between the treadbelt and the slider deck. It is required for all institutional treadmills. Proper and timely application of the lubricate will prevent premature failures due to excessive wear and load. Items affected by inadequate lubrication are the treadbelt, slider deck, motor, and motor controller.
Allow the treadmill to dry for approximately 10 minutes. NOTE: Use only the Biodex lubricant kit with your RTM 400. Most standard greases, waxes and silicon sprays will build up on the rollers, causing belt slippage and affecting tracking.

CONTENTS Remove rear treadbelt roller. The roller is secured by two treadbelt tensioning bolts. Once bolts have been removed, lift out the roller assembly. Remove the two Allen screws which secure the front treadbelt roller. The screws are located on the side of the treadmill. ATTENTION: Si les boutons de sécurité...

CONTENTS If belt speed remains constant, this indicates belt is tight. If belt hesitates during heel strikes, additional tightening is required. To check over tightening, set treadmill .5 mph and, while hold- ing rail, resist until belt stops. If drive roller continues to rotate with the belt stopped, further adjustment is not necessary.

CONTENTS Speed control signal on motor amplifier should measure .250 VDC per mill per hour E.G. NOTE: Measurement taken at J1, PIN 1 to PIN 2 (ground) 1mph = .250 VDC 2mph = .500 VDC 4mph = 1.00 VDC 8mph = 2.00 VDC If speed control signals are OK, proceed to step 4.
To activate the button test turn unit OFF then ON. While all LED’s are lit press <Stop> and the <Elevation -> buttons simultaneously. All LED’s should go OFF. If an error code is displayed note error and call Biodex Technical Support for assistance. To test individual buttons use chart below.
8. OPTIONAL HANDRAIL INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL) The Biodex RMT 400, RTM 600 and Gait Trainer 2 each come with a sturdy support bar installed. If desired, customers can install optional Standard Handrails or Geriatric/Pediatric Handrails. Both optional handrail sets are installed as follows: INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (Refer to Figures 9- 12.)
To verify speed press <Speed> buttons and select a range of speeds from 1 mph to 10 mph. The speed display window and selectable display should correspond. If there is a difference, call Biodex technical Support for assistance. To verify elevation press <Elevation +> button until incline stops. The selectable display window should read between 120-128.
