How Do I Fix EMI With My Console?

PROBLEM: If the treadmill acts irregularly during a workout, there may be electromagnetic/cellular signal interference.
Symptoms of this kind of interference include the following:

• Console display is flickering while belt is acting erratically (Slowing down, then speeding up while console display is flickering)
• Console turns off completely and belt stops
• Console turns off completely, but belt still runs. Engaging the emergency stop should stop the belt; resetting the emergency stop causes the belt to move while the console is off.
• Console shows partial or incorrect numbers
• Speed/incline may change on console without user input
• May hear a repeating ticking/clicking sound from MCB
• Console may turn off then back on

SOLUTION:

1. Remove any device(s) from the reading rack and check if symptoms reoccur.
2. Turn off the device’s cell network or place it in airplane mode.
3. . T101 treadmills: If your software version starts with a 1, update to version 2.09. If their software version starts with a 9, update to version 9.02. A video of this process can be found here.
