Electrical Requirements - Matrix T3xe Owner's Manual

ElECTRICAl REQUIREMENTS

For your safety and to ensure good treadmill performance, the
ground on this circuit must be non-looped. 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.
dEdICATEd CIRCUIT ANd ElECTRICAl INfO
All Matrix units require the use of a 15 amp or 20 amp "dedicated circuit, " with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground, for the power
requirement. Quite simply this 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.
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 or less,
then 12 gauge wire may be used. For any distance greater than 100 ft from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, 10 gauge wire must
6
be used.
