Threading the Cables

Depending on the model of console you are installing and the options it includes, you will need to install one or more of the following cables:

Television (coaxial with F connectors)

Power

Ethernet

Precor recommends threading new cables from the top down, to take advantage of gravity. A fish tape (a thin metal strip with a hook or clasp on one end, available from professional hardware vendors) can be helpful during this procedure.

To thread new cables through the equipment:

1.Select the console power cable (red and black, individual leads), the Ethernet cable (flat and black), or the television cable (round and black).

2.Thread the cable through the center column at the front of the equipment.

3.Guide the end of the cable through the gap at the bottom of the center column, then attach it to the appropriate connector on the jack panel. Refer to the following illustration and table for the position of each connector.

Important: Install coaxial cable using a torque wrench and torque to not exceed 8 lb-in. If a torque wrench is not available, install the coaxial cable using a wrench to “snug + ¼ turn.” It is permissible to use a wrench on the internal nut to aid the tightening process.
