4.1. CONNECTING TO THE TGS

The machine can be connected to the Technogym System by installing a special upgrade kit, which
involves the following:
• Installation of a special SW;
• Installation of special cables, for providing – through a 9-pin D-connector at the back of the
display – the half duplex RS 485 serial port for connecting to the TGS reader.
The CPU board is connected to the serial connector via the cable described below, which is supplied
together with the upgrade kit.
