INITIAL SETTING OF THE REAL TIME CLOCK
As part of the initial installation of the treadmill, the real time clock may be configured to the local time. Initially the
real time clock is set to Greenwich meantime (GMT) which is the mean solar time for the meridian at Greenwich,
England, used as a basis for calculating time throughout most of the world. Upon powering up the unit the following
message will be displayed:
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE THE CLOCK FROM GMT TO LOCAL TIME
IF NO PRESS CLEAR
If the user wants to set the real time clock to the local time, the user must press the ‘ENTER’ key.
The user will be asked to set the display mode. The two display modes are 12-hour mode with AM/PM or 24 hour
mode with no am/pm. displayed. The message will be:
By pressing any of the arrow keys, the user toggles between the two modes. Once the mode is set, press the
‘ENTER’ key to continue.
After the display mode is set the user will now be asked to set the local time. The following message will appear:
By pressing the specific arrow key, the user can set the real time clock to the local time.
After setting the local time, press the ‘CLEAR’ key to exit the real time clock setting mode.
The message “UPDATING CLOCK” will appear in the message center. The unit will then continue with the normal
powering up sequence.
If the user does not want to set up the real time clock at this time, a ‘CLEAR’ key can be pressed to clear the initial
message. The unit will continue with it’s normal powering up sequence. The unit will ask a total of 5 times upon
powering up if the real time clock wants to be set. After the 5th time the message will no longer appear. Refer to
clock configuration to change the clock settings.

message center. The state of the level and negative incline switches will be displayed in the profile window.
For non-decline units: The state of the level switch will be displayed in the profile window. A zero “0” displayed in
the profile window shows the level switch in the closed position. As the unit is inclined the zero “0” displayed should
disappear to indicate that the level switch is functioning.
For decline units: The state of the level and negative incline switches will be displayed in the profile window. A zero
“0” displayed in the profile window shows the level switch in the closed position. As the unit is declined the zero “0”
displayed should disappear and a “–4” should appear in the profile window. This verifies that the negative switch is
functioning (the “–4” will only appear in incline manual mode).
The speed system can be activated in this test as well. However, the display will only show the target speed for two
seconds while the speed keys are being pressed. It will then return to show the incline information.

How To...REMOVE AND REPLACE THE DIGITAL HEART RATE SENSORS
Tools Required: Phillips screwdriver, standard screwdriver, 5/64” hex key wrench
NOTE: The kit you have received will come equipped with either 5/64” hex key button head screws or
Phillips head pan screws. Either can be used for sensor replacement procedures on all models of Life
Fitness exercise equipment equipped with Lifepulse digital heart rate sensors. The treadmill handlebar
shown in the photographs are for demonstration purposes only. Replacement procedures as listed will
remain the same for all applications. ALWAYS REPLACE BOTH SETS OF SENSORS PROVIDED IN THE KIT.
Step 2
Using a standard flat screwdriver, pry off the stainless steel sensor furthest
away from you as if you were the user gripping the Lifepulse heart rate
monitoring sensors (if screw access holes are already provided in the sensor
you wish to replace, simply remove the two screws and continue to Step 2).
This will be the sensor on which your fingertips rest during use. This sensor
will be referred to as the “ground sensor” (black or green wire) hereafter in
these instructions. The sensor closest to the user, on which the palm rests,
will be referred to as the “signal output sensor” (red or white wire).
Step 3
Pull the ground sensor gently away from the molded plastic housing,
to which it was attached, to reveal a wire harness (black or green
wire) with a Faston connector attached to the back of the sensor.
Unplug the Faston connector from the ground sensor.
Step 4
Loosen and remove the two screws securing the two sensor molded
plastic housings to each other on the assembly. Lift the molded
plastic housings away from each other and unplug the Faston
connector attached to the back of the signal output sensor (red or
white wire).

How To...REMOVE AND REPLACE THE DIGITAL HEART RATE SENSORS
Tools Required: Phillips screwdriver, standard screwdriver, 5/64” hex key wrench
Step 5
Plug the Faston connector (red or white wire) to the back of the new, pre-assembled signal output sensor
assembly (this will be the assembly without the screw access holes in the sensor) and locate it into position. This
sensor will be the sensor on which the palm rests during use.
Step 6
Plug the Faston connector (black or green wire) to the back of the new, pre-assembled ground sensor assembly
(this will be the assembly with the screw access holes in the sensor) and locate it into position. This is the sensor on
which the fingertips rest during use.
Step 7
Install the two screws through the access holes in the ground sensor and torque to 5 - 7 In. Lb. .

How To...CLEAN THE WAX NOZZLE
Tools Required: Phillips screwdriver, medium-to-soft bristle brush, and hot water
Step 1
Turn the unit power OFF at the switch, then unplug
the line cord at the wall outlet.
Step 2
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two(2)
screws from the access panel on the right side of the
unit. Wax Nozzle
Step 3
Carefully reach inside the unit and locate the wax
nozzle. Push the tip of the wax nozzle inward and
rotate the nozzle 1/4 turn in a clockwise rotation and Access
remove the nozzle. Note the two(2) flats on the wax
nozzle. These flats must be at a horizontal plane Cover Cover
upon final installation. Screws
Step 4
Place the nozzle in a container of
hot water and let sit for at least 10
minutes or when water has cooled
enough to the touch.
Step 6
Push in and
Dry the nozzle off with a lint-free
rotate for
rag. To Install - installation
Wax Nozzle Rotate ¼ turn or removal
Step 7 counter-clockwise
Holder
Reinstall the wax nozzle into its Wax Nozzle
holder and while pressing in, rotate
the nozzle 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
IMPORTANT: MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE, THAT UPON FINAL ASSEMBLY, THE FLATS ON THE WAX
NOZZLE ARE POSITIONED IN A HORIZONTAL PLANE. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER
WAX APPLICATION.

Functional Description
The Display Console PCB is an intelligent display and keypad interface. It works in conjunction with the Wax/Lift
and Motor Control Modules. The console board reads the keypad input port to check for user inputs, updates,
refreshes the status LEDs, data display, profile display matrix, reads analog voltages from the Lifepulse circuitry,
and communicates with the other subsystem modules.
