I recently bought a used Precor 954i it worked fine then when i brought it home and wired it in with a 20amp breaker and 240 volt im getting error 29 as soon as i turn the machine on any ideas?

Precor Error 29, Excessive AC Input Current Probable Cause 1. The running belt and/or deck are badly worn. 2. Bad lower PCA. 3. Drive motor is shorted or de-magnetized causing a high power demand. Corrective Action
  1. Check the amp draw using a clamp on AC volt-amp meter during loaded and no load conditions and compare values to a similar treadmill that is known to have a good running belt and deck. Replace the belt and/or deck if necessary. Don't forget, some units have a double sided deck which means it may be flipped over rather than replaced if it has an unused side.
  2. Test unit with a known good lower PCA. Replace lower PCA if necessary.
  3. Test unit with a known good drive motor. Replace drive motor if necessary.

Precor EFX 556 cross trainer slow startup

Il existe deux raisons pour lesquelles votre v?lo elliptique Precor EFX 556 d?marre lentement. Tout d'abord, un probl?me ?lectrique, tel qu'un cordon d'alimentation mal branch? ou endommag?, ou m?me une prise d?fectueuse, pourrait survivre. Un condensateur d?fectueux ? l'int?rieur de l'appareil, qui peut causer des retards au moment de la mise sous tension, est une autre explication. Pour r?soudre ces probl?mes, commencez par v?rifier les connexions ?lectriques. Envisagez d'appeler un technicien qualifi? pour diagnostiquer et r?soudre un probl?me ?lectrique ou ?lectronique si le probl?me persiste.

My precor efx556 does not detect pedaling, how can i fix it?

hello there, check if the lift control system is detected the lift is moving in the opposite direction of the issued lift command. This error would happen when the lift was already in motion (typically downward) when a lift command in the opposite direction (lift upward) was issued.

What causes a slow boot up on a Precor EFX 546?

A slow boot up on a Precor EFX 546 elliptical machine can be caused by several factors, including:
  1. Low battery voltage: If the battery voltage is low, the machine may take longer to boot up. This can be due to a weak or old battery, or a problem with the battery charger.
  2. Dirty or corroded contacts: Dirt, dust, or corrosion on the battery contacts or other electrical contacts can interfere with the machine's ability to start up quickly.
  3. Faulty console or display board: If the console or display board is malfunctioning, it may take longer for the machine to boot up or may not boot up at all.
  4. Loose or damaged cables or connections: Loose or damaged cables or connections can prevent the machine from starting up properly and may cause a slow boot up.
  5. Outdated software: If the software on the machine is outdated, it may take longer for the machine to boot up or it may not start up at all.
To troubleshoot a slow boot up on a Precor EFX 546, you can try the following steps:
  1. Check the battery voltage and replace the battery if necessary.
  2. Clean the contacts on the battery and other electrical components.
  3. Inspect the cables and connections for damage or looseness.
  4. Check for any error codes or messages on the console or display board and consult the user manual for troubleshooting steps.
  5. Check for any available software updates and install them if necessary.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact a professional technician for further assistance.

Precor 556i / AXGE....Problema with the resistance. Can anybody help me?

Hey Fabian, it's possible that the resistance motor or sensors on your wife's Precor 556i/AXGE may need to be recalibrated. Try powering off the machine, unplugging it for a minute, and then plugging it back in to see if that resets the calibration. If the problem persists, you can try recalibrating the machine manually. There should be instructions in the user manual or online. If that doesn't work, then contacting customer service or a certified technician may be necessary. I hope this helps!

Precor 9.45 reset safety switch message wont go away

If you have checked the safety switch on your Precor 9.45 treadmill and everything seems to be intact, and the "reset safety switch" message still won't go away, it's possible that the switch itself is faulty or the console is not receiving the signal from the switch. You can try cleaning the switch and the area around it, and also check the wires that connect the switch to the console to make sure they are not damaged. If the switch or wires appear to be damaged, they may need to be replaced. If cleaning and checking the switch and wires doesn't resolve the issue, it's recommended that you contact the manufacturer or a qualified repair technician to further diagnose and fix the problem. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or suggest other possible solutions.

I have a Precor TRM211 treadmill. Trouble with the console display.

This is an error code for 1 of 2 things. Something was spilt on the display causing a detected malfunction. Or, you are experiencing a power sag where the unit is plugged in. Try an isolated AC circuit. (Nothing else is ON or plugged in)

Precor treadmill making squeaking noise when running fast

Two likely candidates: Belt or tread. Lubricating the tread would be the easiest starting point; but if you're running at 7 or more you've probably already thought of that. If the cover isn't too difficult to remove, you can expose the drive belt and the squeaking volume change would be an indicator that the drive belt is the problem.

I have a precor 546i. want to charge empty bat. where is the "socket" of the machine for charging bat? ready to pay-but not register, paperwork and CC number...Will you help please

We are FIXYA dot com. We are not Precor and we certainly don't take credit card numbers. By 'charging bat', you mean battery for the display. The battery is mentioned 67 times in the manual. Press CTRL+F and type in 'battery'. Page 39 and 40, looks to be what you need. https://primofitnessusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/V3-precorefx-546i-V3-elliptical.pdf Links to Precor if you need to buy something?

disassemble as much as you can, and dry up all parts. hope that the electrical circuits/parts weren't damaged.

Hello My precor EFX 546I has a problem with the incline moving up or down?

It might be the battery. A fully charged battery is required to move the ramp up and down. The battery is like a car battery, if you don't use it then it dies and might need to be replaced.
