Press the Stop and the Speed Up keys down while inserting the safety key.
Press the Stop key one time. The Time window should read EP:2P. Some newer models may also say FP, Pass, or the like. This means that it passes the EPROM test.
Press either incline key and the incline will calibrate automatically.
BE CAREFUL, THE TREADMILL WILL RUN AT FULL SPEED IN THIS NEXT MODE! DO NOT STAND ON THE WALKING BELT. Press the Speed Up key and hold it down until 85 is shown in the Distance window (some models may show the 85 number in another window).
If the top speed of the treadmill does not match the displayed speed on the computer console, adjust the max speed potentiometer (pot) on the motor control board. This is the board that the red and black motor wires connect directly into in the motor area. The Max Speed pot is clearly labeled. The max speed potentiometer is a small square with a mobile center and is located in one corner of the board and is labeled MAX SPD. It is near the harness that carries the speed signal labeled H,W,L. Using a small insulated screwdriver adjust this potentiometer clockwise to speed up and counter-clockwise to slow down the max speed of the treadmill. A tiny turn of this potentiometer will make a big difference in speed so be careful when making adjustments. It is not important to get the speed set exactly at the max speed of the treadmill but do make sure to get the speed within .2 MPH of the max speed of the treadmill. For instance if the max speed of the treadmill is 10 MPH, make sure to have the speed set between 9.8 MPH and 10.2 MPH. Some models have a 12 MPH top speed, so please check your manual if you aren’t sure. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP BECAUSE YOU WILL GET AN ERROR MESSAGE IF THIS STEP IS SKIPPED. After completing calibration of the speed, press the Speed Down key. The treadmill will automatically return to 0 MPH. Please allow the unit to stop completely before continuing. Press the Stop key once and remove the safety key.

The
Steps for Newer Style Console Calibration



1. Locate the calibration area on the
rear or underside of the console (a hole, near the console\'s center, that goes
through to the electronics board. (This hole should not have a screw in
it.)


2. Insert a pencil (eraser end),
into the hole and feel around for the cal button (will click when
pressed).


3. Press the button 2 times
(with the pencil eraser). The first click should show CL11 in the
console, the second click should show CL21.


4. If the process was done correctly,
and CL21 appears in the console, you are in "calibration mode."
The next few steps consists of pressing buttons on the console
and observing settings. This will not require any other tools.


5. Press ENTER. CL22 should display in
the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.


6. Press ENTER. CL23 should display in
the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.


7. Press ENTER. CL24 should display in
the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.


8. Press ENTER. CL25 should
display in the TIME window and (??) in the SPEED window.


9. Press ENTER. CL26 should
display in the TIME window. You should then see the letter
"E."


10.
Press
ENTER. You should see "SS" or "55" in the console.


11.Push the STOP/START button. For safety, at this point, you should step off, or be
off, the treadmill.



12.
Push
the ENTER button. The walking belt should start to move, accelerate to maximum
speed, then stop on its own.


13.
When
the belt stops, the incline should self test by raising to its
highest incline position, then lowering back down to its lowest position.


14.
Once
the incline test is complete, push the POWER button 2 times. The unit should
shut off and the console should go completely blank. If this
happens, the treadmill is done calibrating and is ready for use.


If the letter
"F" appears in the SPEED or INCLINE window when the power button is
pressed 2 times, the treadmill is indicating a failure somewhere
either in the SPEED or INCLINE (depending on the window the
"F" appeared in). Troubleshooting the failure would be the next
step.

Hi,

I will advice you try re-calibrate your treadmill, follow the procedure below to re-calibrate it,

Step 1 Stand on the side rails of the treadmill for safety purposes. Remove the safety key. Step 2 Press and hold the two incline buttons. The incline buttons are blue and on the left side of the display. Hold the up and down button simultaneously. Release the buttons when the display reads "Calibration."
Step 3 Press the green start button located either above or below the large, red stop button (depending on your model). Stay on the side rails as the treadmill belt begins to move. Both the speed and incline should go through their full range from lowest to highest, and then back down again.
Step 4 Repeat the process if the display does not read "Calibration Successful."

We have a 600 mx and the pad is not working, the only button working is the start, i cannot increase speed or incline it either.

It is very unusual to have no incline or walking belt operation..
Try entering diagnostic mode and do a calibration. The instructions are found under the motor cover on a tech sheet.
1: with the safety key removed, press stop and speed up simultaniously.
2: Attach the magnetic safety key.
3: press stop 1 time.
4: at this time, by pressing the incline up, the incline should calibrate, going up to maximum then back to minimum..
5: press the speed up key, you will see the numbers on the console increase. The machine should start moving the walking belt around 25-30 on the display. At 85 the belt should be running at maximum speed.
6: press speed down, the machine should stop.
7: remove the safety key. Now replace the safety key and try the machine again.If any of this procedure didn't work, I would suspect a defective console. Otherwise, the motor controller may need replacing.
Good Luck
