REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

Richtige Fernseher haben Röhren!

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.

ENTERTAINMENT TROUBLESHOOTING
Verify that your TV is Matrix brand equipment. Compare your TV to the TVs in Figures A and B. Compare your controller to Figure C. If your equipment looks different contact Matrix or the manufacturer of your TV equipment if known.
For Matrix produced and mounted equipment you can use the information outlined in this section to help with any connection and power issues you may have. If you have questions that are specific to the TV alone (settings, programming, menu options, etc) please see the entertainment owner’s manual.
PICTURE FUZZY OR UNCLEAR
Using a verified good piece of coax cable, remove the console back cover and hook the coax directly to the TV jack.  This bypasses internal connections for your machine.
Check your internal cables and fittings inside your machine at the console and below the motor cover. Make sure you have no damage (kinks, cuts etc) and no stray wires or poor fittings on the ends of the cables. Fittings should look clean  connector and no stray aluminium strands touching the centre conductor. Replace or repair any suspected cables.
If no damage can be found on cables, fittings, or connectors begin replacing cables and connectors with known good parts until the damaged part is found.
TV WILL NOT TURN ON
If you have no picture at all, check to see if you have any status lights on your controller (controller light is next to power button).  The status light should be red when off or in standby mode, and green when the TV is powered on.
Remove the console back (Figure A) and check the electrical connections for the TV
After you have verified all connections are secure and problem still exists verify power at the outlet. If outlet is not outputting 120 volts, check  room power.
If internal electrical connections are good,, and the outlet is outputting 120 Volts, the issue is likely with the TV, contact Matrix.
CONTROLLER ISSUES
If you have a status light on the controller but the On/Off button gives no response, disconnect and then reconnect the power to the treadmill from the wall. Attempt to turn on the TV again using the On/Off button.
If TV still does not power on, remove the console back  and check the controller connections at the console.
If the TV does not power on after the controller connections are reset, the issue it is likely with the TV itself, contact Matrix.

MATRIX T3X - 05 TREADMILL – AUTO CALIBRATION PROCEDURE – SERVICE MODE – MANAGER MODE – TREADMILL BELT ADJUSTMENT - ERROR CODE AND SOLUTIONS – TREADMILL REPAIR AND SERVICE

MATRIX T3x - 05 Treadmill – Auto calibration procedure – Service mode – Manager Mode – Treadmill belt adjustment - Error code and Solutions – Treadmill repair and service

Category: Treadmill Repair and Service 

Contents of this article 

  • Auto calibration procedure 
  • Engineering mode 
  • Manager Mode 
  • Error codes and solution 



MATRIX T3x - 05

Auto Calibration Procedure:
1) Press and hold the INCLINE DOWN and SPEED DOWN keys for three seconds until Manager appears on the middle LED display.
2) Press the SPEED or INCLINE UP key until Engineering appears on the display.
3) Press ENTER once Engineering is displayed.
4) Scroll between programs in the Engineering Mode using any UP or DOWN key until Auto Calibration appears on the middle LED display.
5) Press ENTER once Auto Calibration is displayed., you should not be standing on the running belt.
6) After completion, the display will either return to normal operation (if the unit passed the Auto Calibration) or display that the Auto Calibration failed.
Adjusting The running belt
After placing the treadmill in the position it will be used, the belt must be checked for proper tension and centering. The belt may need to be adjusted after the first 2 hours of use. Temperature, humidity, and use cause the belt to stretch at different rates. If the belt starts to slip when a user is on it, be sure to follow the directions below.
Step 1: Locate the two hex head bolts on the rear of the treadmill. The bolts are located at each end of the frame at the back of the treadmill. These bolts adjust the rear roller. Do not adjust until the treadmill is on. This will prevent over tightening of one side.
Step 2: The belt should have equal distance on either side between the frame. If the belt is touching one side, do not start the treadmill. Turn the bolts counter clockwise approximately one full turn on each side. Manually center the belt by pushing the belt from side to side. Tighten the bolts the same amount as when the user loosened them, approximately one full turn. Inspect the belt for damage.
Step 3: While the treadmill is running at 3 mph, observe the belt position. If it is moving to the right, tighten the right bolt by turning it clockwise 1/4 turn, and loosen the left bolt 1/4 turn. If it is moving to the left, tighten the left bolt by turning it clockwise 1/4 turn and loosen the right 1/4 turn. Repeat Step 3 until the belt remains centered for several minutes.
Step 4: Check the tension of the belt. The belt should be very snug. When a person walks or runs on the belt, it should not hesitate or slip. If this occurs, tighten the belt by turning both bolts clockwise 1/4 turn. Repeat if necessary.
