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 Outdated software: If the software on the machine is outdated, it may take longer for the machine to boot up or it may not start up at all.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.

Error 44 precor eliptical 546

Precor Error 44, Un-commanded Lift Motion Probable Cause 1. Intermittent or bad connection in the lift position sensor(potentiometer). 2. Lift position sensor (potentiometer) is bad. 3. Lower PCA is bad. Corrective Action
  1. Bad or intermittent connection of the lift position sensor (potentiometer) is the most common cause of the error 44. Inspect all wiring and connections related to the lift position sensor (potentiometer). Repair or replace wiring connections as necessary.
  2. Monitor the lift position number displayed while operating the lift in diagnostics mode. If the reading makes large changes or is erratic, the lift position sensor (potentiometer) is likely bad. Replace the lift position sensor (potentiometer) or lift motor if the lift position sensor (potentiometer) is internal to the lift motor.
  3. If the lift moves without any command entered either manually or through a program, replace the lower PCA.

What is an Error 22, 23,and 26 on a precor 9.35?

Error 22 indicates that the drive motor (running belt) has been instructed to start, by either manual or program control, and the monitoring system has not received any response from the speed sensing system indicating that the drive motor has started.
Error 23 indicates that the speed sensor signal was lost while the treadmill was in operation
Error 26 this error monitors the speed sensor signal and verifies the the speed sensor signal is appropriate for the requested speed. If the speed sensor signal is incorrect or erratic an Error 26 will be displayed.
Unplug unit and remove motor shroud and try these procedures:
The treadmill utilizes an optical (infrared) speed sensor and the line of sight between the speed sensor and the speed sensor target is obstructed. The speed sensor position relative to the speed sensor target is incorrect. The speed sensor potentiometer adjustment is incorrect (when equipped). The speed sensor target is damaged
Carefully, vacuum out the drive motor compartment with a static safe vacuum cleaner. Pay special attention to the area between the speed sensor and speed sensor target. Adjust the speed sensor position so that the space between the speed sensor and the speed sensor target is 3/16 inch and so that the speed sensor photo eye is aimed at the larger portion of the targets wedge shaped section. On hall effect speed sensors (magnetic sensor) the space between the end of the speed sensor and the flywheel tooth should be 3/16 inch. If the treadmill utilizes a speed sensor potentiometer, locate the speed sensor potentiometer on the lower PCA. Set the speed sensor potentiometer at mid-range. Start the treadmill and increase the speed to 6 mile per hour. Carefully adjust the speed sensor potentiometer to the point where the treadmill is operating the smoothest. Increase the treadmills speed to full speed at repeat the previous adjustment. These two adjustments are typically small and are usually only a matter of fine tuning. . Most speed sensor targets consist of a circular arrangement of alternate black and silver sections. If the speed sensor target is torn or badly scratched the speed sensor may receive an incorrect reading. Replace the speed sensor target.

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.

New free spirit treadmill - L5 code what does it mean?

Yeah - the sensor is the problem... It is magnetic... You can find it next to the wheel on the belt - It is fairly small.... There is a metal disc in the wheell on the belt that is a magnet.. As it passes by the sensor - the sensor registers the magnet and can simply calculate speed based on the frequency of the passes... Sometimes the sensor slides too far back and ergo can`t register the magnet passing by - Then you get the L5 error...

Walking belt not properly aligned

There are two holes on each side of the back covers of the treadmill. They have the adjustment bolts in them for the rear roller and It will require an Allen wrench to adjust it. If you tighten one of the bolts it causes the belt to move away from that side. So if it's the left side of the belt that's moving close to the rail then tighten the left side and vise versa for right. Turn the unit on and set the speed to about 3. Tighten the side that the belt closer to the side rail about a quarter turn. Be patient and give it a minute to settle after you adjust it. Repeat until the belt has moved back to center. If it moves too far just back it off a bit.
