REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

CYBEX LCX 425T - TREADMILL - ERROR CODES - SPEED SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

CYBEX LCX 425T - TREADMILL - ERROR CODES - SPEED SENSOR ADJUSTMENT


ERROR CODES
    Error codes notify you of a problem condition and are displayed on the console. These codes can also help to indicate the part of the treadmill most likely to be causing the problem. Errors that present a hazard to the user provide a measure of safety by causing a one second beep,
stopping the treadmill and locking out operation of the treadmill. Reset power by unplugging unit for a few seconds, then plug power cord into outlet.
    A log of errors can be viewed and cleared. Enter Test Mode and press the Pace (min/mi/km) key to display the log. The most recent error is always first in the log. Press the Pace key again to cycle to the next the error stored. Up to 10 errors can be stored. Press the Scan key twice to clear the error log. Press Pause/Stop to exit Test Mode.
bAd0  Bad checksum. See H then G.
bAd2  Internal RAM error. See H then G.
bAd3  Watchdog timeout. See H then G.
Err1  Belt didn’t start (or no speed sense). See I, E, D, B then A.
Err2  Underspeed (2 mph for 2 seconds without correction in process). See I, E, C then B.
Err3  Speed sense lost. See I, E, A, B and C.
Err5  No 0 switch sense within timed limits. This is declared when the timed  elevation reaches -2% without tripping the index.
Err6  Overspeed (1 mph for 1 second or 2 mph for 0.2 seconds without  correction). See I, E.
Err7  EEPROM error (memory lost, loads new defaults, enters Test Mode).
ErrE  0% always on (or switch disconnected or wired backwards). This means  that timed elevation has gone up 2% and the index is still sensed.
SVC  Maintenance prompt. Is activated every 9,000 miles (14,484 km). Display shows “SVC” and beeps every 2 minutes. In Test Mode press “Cool Down” and then press up and down arrows to display “RST” for reset. Press Enter to reset service odometer to zero.
A Check lower board
B Check drive motor
C Check belt and deck
D Check motor brushes
E Check speed sensor
F Check elevation motor
G Replace display board
H Reset power by unplugging unit for a few seconds, then plug power cord into outlet.
I Perform speed calibration procedure.
SPEED SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
Unplug the treadmill from the power outlet.
Remove the motor cover.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen two screws on each motor cover side.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, loosen two screws on the front motor cover.
Lift the motor cover up and off the treadmill. The screws will stay in place.
Adjust the speed sensor gap (if needed). [Do not over tighten nuts on plastic speed sensor housing]
Using two 1/2” open end wrenches, loosen the nuts that attaches the speed sensor to the frame bracket.
Adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the magnet on the front roller to 1/4” (.635 cm) and tighten the two nuts.
Test for speed errors.
Connect the power cord to a power outlet.
Bring the speed of the treadmill up to maximum speed, 11.0 mph (17.6 kph).
After reaching maximum speed reduce the speed to 1.0 mph (1.6 kph). If a speed error occurs then your speed sensor gap needs to be readjusted.
Press Pause/Stop.
Enter Test Mode again and check the error log for Error 3. If any new errors occurred, readjust the speed sensor and test again. NOTE: If you are unsure whether an error is new you can clear the error log by pressing the scan key twice and then repeat steps 3A through 4E.
Exit Test Mode by pressing Pause/Stop.
Speed Calibration
Stay off the running belt during this procedure.  CAUTION:  During this procedure STAY OFF THE RUNNING BELT! Stand with your feet on the two steps.
In Test Mode press and hold the Heart Rate and Time keys for five seconds. The  display will show “CAL”. The running belt will accelerate to three different speeds and when completed the display will show “SAV”
Press Pause/Stop to exit Test Mode. NOTE: This procedure should be completed after replacing the upper display board, the lower control board or the drive motor. If you press Pause/Stop during this procedure the calibration will not be stored. Exiting Test Mode while the belt is moving may generate an error condition.
