The Matrix Upright Bike console has a battery that makes it self powered. This means that even if the unit is not plugged in, the console may
still have power for up to 12 hours. If the console power needs to be reset or turned off, press and hold the CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL
DOWN keys for 3-5 seconds until the console turns off. The console power will also need to be reset if settings are changed in Manager,
Engineering, or Service Modes.
gRoUNDINg INSTRUCTIoNS:
The Matrix U7xe-04 Upright Bike must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The Bike is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. If the user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could void the Matrix limited warranty.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
if the user is in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by an electrician.
The Matrix 7xe Series Upright Bike is designed to be self powered.
note:
If an add on TV (using a bracket) or Virtual Active is added to the
unit, it must be plugged in, or the TV and Virtual Active will not operate correctly. If the Bike will be plugged in, follow the requirements below.
MATRIx DeDICATeD CIRCUIT/eleCTRICAl ReqUIReMeNT INfo
All Matrix Bikes require the use of a 15 amp or 20 amp “dedicated circuit,” with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground, for the power requirement.
Quite simply this means that each outlet you plug Bikes into should not have anything else running on that same circuit besides other Bikes (up to
3 per 15 amp circuit and 4 per 20 amp circuit). The easiest way to verify this is to locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s)
one at a time. Once a breaker has been turned off, the only thing that should not have power to it are the Bikes in question. No lamps, vending
machines, fans, sound systems, or any other item should lose power when you perform this test.
Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must have an individual neutral/ground connection coming from it, and terminating
at an approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.
In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet that will have the
maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet, is 100 ft or less, then 12 gauge wire may be
used. For any distance greater than 100 ft from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, 10 gauge wire must be used.
For your safety and Bike performance, the ground on this circuit must be non-looped. Please refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Your Bike is
provided with a power cord with a plug listed below and requires the listed outlet. Any alterations of this power cord could void all warranties for
this product. Multiple Bikes can be powered on one dedicated circuit. (3 units per 15 Amp and 4 units per 20 Amp dedicated circuit.)
