USING THE MAXTIMETM SETUP

This feature allows the club to set different maximum workout durations to accomodate various traffic flows throughout the day. The real-time clock must be correct to fully utilize this feature. Refer to Section 1.2 Setting the Clock.

After entering the Manager’s Configuration, select the MAXTIME SETUP option. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the statement “MAXTIME CONTROL OFF” and then displays a maximum workout duration value. The default value is 60 minutes, and it can be changed with the INCLINE or SPEED ARROW keys. This value is always in effect unless the MaxTimeTM control feature is turned on.

To turn the feature on, use the INCLINE or SPEED ARROW keys, and switch the setting to MAX- TIME CONTROL ON. Then, press ENTER.

The MESSAGE CENTER displays a “peak duration” value, which is the maximum possible workout duration, in minutes, during high-traffic hour for fitness clubs. Use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed value, and press ENTER. The MESSAGE CENTER then displays a “non- peak duration” value, which is the maximum possible workout duration all other times. Use the ARROW keys to increase or decrease the displayed value, and press ENTER.

The MESSAGE CENTER then displays a “peak 1” time period in hours and minutes. This is the peri- od during which the peak workout duration value is in force. Use the TIME ARROW keys to change the hours, and use the INCLINE ARROW keys to change the minutes. Press ENTER. The MES- SAGE CENTER then displays the “peak 1” duration value, which is the amount of time in minutes that the peak period remains in force. Using the ARROW keys, change the value, and press ENTER.

The MESSAGE CENTER then displays a “peak 2” time period. Repeat the steps described in the preceding paragraph to set up a second peak time.
