Getting Started

The P30 console offers administrators the ability to set default values that meet their specific needs. These settings include items like language, units of measure, and setting a maximum allowed workout time for each piece of equipment.

Activating the Console for Self-Powered Equipment

Precor equipment is either self-powered or externally powered using an optional power adapter. Self-powered equipment requires the user exercise to initialize the battery. This section provides more detail about powering equipment.

Activating the Console for Self-Powered Equipment

On self-powered equipment, when a user starts exercising, the battery initializes and displays the Welcome banner. A minimum rate of motion must be maintained for the Welcome banner to appear. The words PEDAL FASTER (or the equivalent message depending on the equipment type) appear in the display when the battery is low or when the rate of motion drops below the minimum requirements.

The equipment saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode. If the user does not maintain the minimum rate of motion, a 30-second shutdown process begins.

In this mode, the console displays a countdown indicator and ignores all keypresses. If no movement is detected or the rate of motion remains below the minimum, the indicator changes as the countdown continues.

Note: The user can resume exercising before the countdown period elapses and the program will continue from the point at which it was paused.
