3. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
3.1. BLOCK DIAGRAM
The machine block diagram is shown in the figure below:

3.1.1. CARDIO TRANSMITTER


It is worn by the person using the machine, and transmits to the cardio receiver one pulse for every
heart beat that is detected.

Page 3.1

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

3.1.2. CARDIO RECEIVER


It is connected to the machines CPU board and receives the pulses sent by the transmitter. Its
reception area is approximately a circle of 1 meter of radius. If there is electromagnetic noise
(produced by high voltage lines, radio transmitters, monitors, motors, etc.) within its reception area,
the receiver becomes saturated and stops receiving any signal. If there are 2 transmitters within its
area of reception, it will receive signals from both, and may produce an error or irregular reading.

3.1.3. DISPLAY
This is the heart of the machine, which controls all the machine functions by executing the program
stored in EPROM. It receives information from the user (age, weight, etc.) during set-up of the
training session, from the cardio receiver (users heart rate), from the inverter interface board and
from the up-down interface board. It controls the speed selected with the + keys and the
elevation selected with the keys or according to the chosen training program. It receives the
error signal from the inverter interface board and the status signal from the up-down interface board.
It consists of 2 circuit boards:

CPU board: contains the microprocessor, and all the logic circuits for controlling the machine
and the LCD;
LED board: contains the circuits pertaining to the display and indicators: LEDs and 7-segment
display.

The CPU board contains 2 banks of 4 dip-switches each, which are used for configuring the
machine.

3.1.4. INVERTER
This is the device which supplies the three-phase belt motor. It receives a DC reference voltage
from the inverter interface board. Variations in this voltage cause corresponding variations in the
operating frequency of the sinusoidal wave provided by the inverter to the motor phases, and hence
change the speed of the tread belt. It handles motor drive errors and, in the event of an error, shuts
down the power supply to the motor and sends an alarm signal through the interface board to the
display. The event which caused the error is memorized as an error code.
The inverter power supply is enabled by the relay activated by the emergency button. When the
button is pressed, the relay contact opens, the power to the inverter goes off and hence the belt
motor stops.
The following inverter models are used on these machines:

Lenze 644: installed up until serial number 2042;


Hitachi J100: installed on versions E2, E3, E4 and E5;
Hitachi SJ100: installed from serial number 0200531.

Each inverter model requires its own special interface board, designated as follows:

Page 3.2

Lenze inverter interface board;


Hitachi inverter interface board.

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

Regardless of whether the Lenze or Hitachi model is used, the inverter and interface board group
has the function of driving the tread belt motor at the desired speed, in accordance with the data
programmed on the machine CPU board and on the basis of the program saved on the inverter itself.
The inverter has a power of 2.2 KW.

3.1.5. INVERTER INTERFACE BOARD


Receives from the display a PWM signal proportional to the selected speed, and converts it into a
continuous voltage for controlling the inverter. Receives the error signal generated by the inverter in
the event of problems and transmits it to the display. Receives the low voltages output by the power
supply and passes them to the display. There are 2 LEDs on the board:

DL1 illuminates when the tread belt is moving;


DL2 illuminates when the inverter does not detect any error conditions and therefore the alarm
signal is inactive.

3.1.6. BELT MOTOR


An asynchronous three-phase motor which, by means of a pulley and a poly-v belt, turns the driving
roller of the tread belt. Each motor phase is equipped with a normally-closed bimetallic safety which
opens when the temperature exceeds a preset threshold, in order to safeguard the integrity of the
motor. The 3 bimetallic safeties are connected in series and reach the inverter as a NC external input
signal. When this contact opens, the inverter generates an alarm.
The tread belt motor has a power of 2.2 KW (3 Hp).

3.1.7. UP-DOWN MOTOR


It is a DC motor (48 Vdc 5 A) which, by means of a mechanical reduction unit and a timing belt,
turns the lead screw nuts on the threaded elevation bars, causing the machine to be raised or lowered
depending on the direction of rotation.

3.1.8. PHOTOCELL
This is the device which provides feedback on the motion of the up-down motor. It transmits one
pulse for each tooth detected on the encoder wheel which is fixed to the gearmotor, and a signal
indicating the direction of movement.
Two different types of photocells are used on these machines:

Old model: Siemens SFH910 photocell mounted on circuit board GF92015-B;


New model: Optek OPB610 photocell mounted on circuit board GF970711.

The 2 photocells are mechanically interchangeable but functionally distinct each one requires its
own specific SW version on the up-down board.

3.1.9. UP-DOWN BOARD


Receives from the display the enable signal for elevation motion and converts it into a control for
the up-down motor. Generates its power supply and the DC power supply for the motor by means of
Page 3.3

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

a transformer and rectifier bridge. Determines the motor position, and hence the treadmill elevation,
by means of the photocell. Generates and sends to the display a motion status signal at every 0.5%
variation in the elevation.
It is necessary to use the appropriate SW version for the photocell model, as identified by the label
on the chip:

Old photocell model: chip version M3S10;


New photocell model: chip version RR52V2.

It checks the lower and upper travel limits by means of 2 limit switches. The board includes 2 LEDs
associated to the limit switches, which are normally illuminated:

DL1: comes off when the upper limit switch is tripped;


DL2: on SMD board / DL3 on traditional board: comes off if the lower limit switch is tripped.

3.1.10. MICROSWITCHES
There are 2 limit switches which control the range of motion of the elevation mechanism. These
switches are positioned at the travel limits of the elevation bars, and change state when pressed
and/or released. The lower limit switch is NC, while the upper one is NO.

3.1.11. POWER SUPPLY


Receives the mains voltage at its input and outputs the DC voltages (+5 V, +12 V and 12 V) which
supply the display and the inverter interface board.
The model actually used is the Lambda SWT 40. This model has been starting used when the new
Hitachi SJ100 inverter has been used. The previous model used was the Lambda ZT 30.

3.1.12. SERIAL PORTS


These are ports which enable the machine to communicate with the outside world. Three such
interfaces are provided:

PRINTER: RS-232 port for connecting the machine to a printer or other external device, such
as an ECG or metabolic monitor;
IN: RS-485 input port, not used;
OUT: RS-485 output port, not used.

3.1.13. EMERGENCY BUTTON


This is the user safety device. Starting from the machine with SN 03000131, it consists of a new
maintained button which needs to be released after it has been pressed.
The button, which has a NC contact, is connected both to the CPU board and to a relay which
enables the inverter power supply. Once the button has been pressed, the relay shuts off the power
supply to the inverter and the motor stops. At the same time, the CPU board also detects that the
button was pressed, interrupts the exercise and shows a message on the display. To resume using the
machine, it is necessary to wait at least 5-10 seconds before returning the emergency button to the
working position.
Page 3.4

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

3.2. TREAD-BELT MOTOR DRIVE


3.2.1. MECHANICS
The tread belt is actuated by the motor through a linkage consisting of the motor pulley, the driving
roller and the belt which connects them. In this way, a given belt motor speed corresponds to a
predetermined linear tread belt speed. The belt motor is controlled by the inverter which generates a
variable-frequency sine wave signal: variations in frequency cause the motor speed and hence the
tread belt speed to vary.

3.2.2. CONTROLS
To start the motor, the CPU board sends the inverter a Start signal through the inverter interface
board, enabling the inverter to drive the motor. After outputting this enable signal, the CPU board
sets the motor speed by sending a PWM signal to the inverter interface board, which the inverter
interface board converts into an analog input voltage to the inverter. The relationship between the
analog input voltage and the inverter output frequency is determined by the values of the
configuration parameters in the inverter program.
During its movement, the inverter checks the motor and, if any problems are detected (overvoltage,
overcurrent, SW and HW problems to the inverter, etc.) it halts the motor and sends an alarm signal
to the CPU board, which displays the error message BELT MOTOR HALTED.
To protect the motor from overheating, each motor phase has a thermal cutout connected in series. If
the temperature exceeds the threshold value, the thermal cutout opens and interrupts the circuit. The
inverter detects this condition as the opening of a NC external contact. In such a case the inverter
halts the motor and outputs an alarm signal to the CPU board, which displays the error message
cited above.

3.2.3. THE SIGNALS INVOLVED


The machine controls the speed of the belt motor by means of the CPU board and the inverter
interface board, as shown in the following figure:

The speed control utilizes the following signals:

Start signal
This is the signal generated by the CPU board (pin 8-3 of connector CN1) to enable starting of
the motor. When the tread belt is stopped this signal is at logic level low (0 Vdc), whereas
immediately after the Start button on the display is pressed it goes high (4.5 Vdc).
The signal enters the inverter interface board (pin 8-3 of connector CN2), is processed and sent
out (pin 2-1 of connector CN1) to the inverter. In the belt-stopped condition it is -24.7 Vdc,
while immediately after pressing the Start button on the display it is -2.7 Vdc.

Speed reference signal


This is the signal generated by the CPU board (pins 10-3 of connector CN1) to control the motor
speed. It is a PWM signal, that is to say a fixed frequency square wave with a variable duty
cycle. The logic of this control has the duty cycle decreasing with increasing speed. The
measurement of its DC component with a multimeter shows a value that decreases with
increasing speed, from a maximum of approximately 5 Vdc down to a few hundred mVdc.
This signal enters the inverter interface board (pins 10-3 of connector CN2), is converted into a
variable analogue signal between 0 and 10 Vdc and sent out (pins 5-6 of connector CN1) to the
inverter. The signal input to the inverter increases with increasing speed.

Page 3.6

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

Variable frequency VAC signal


This is the variable frequency alternating voltage generated by the inverter (pin U-V-W) for
supplying the motor. The motor speed increases with increasing frequency.

Thermal cutout signal


Each motor phase is equipped with a normally-closed thermal cutout which opens when the
temperature exceeds a preset threshold. The 3 thermal cutouts are connected in series and exit
the motor via a 2-wire cable connected to the inverter (AL1-AL0). The inverter is programmed
to expect a NC signal on these pins. When at least one thermal cutout is triggered, the contact
opens and the inverter, detecting the open-circuit condition, generates an alarm signal.

Alarm signal
This is the signal generated by the inverter (pin Al1-AL0) if a problem is detected in the motor
drive, or if the motor thermal cutouts open. It enters the inverter interface board (pins 3-4 of
connector CN1) and its value is 0 Vdc under normal conditions, 10 Vdc under alarm conditions.
The signal is then sent from the inverter interface board (pins 9-3 of connector CN2) to the CPU
board (pins 9-3 of connector CN1) and is 5 Vdc under normal conditions, 0 Vdc under alarm
conditions. When this alarm signal switches to 0 Vdc, the CPU disables the Start signal, resets
the PWM signal and shows the BELT MOTOR HALTED error message on the display.

Page 3.7

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

3.3. UP-DOWN MOTOR DRIVE


3.3.1. MECHANICS
The elevation of the machine is varied by the up-down motor which, by means of a timing belt,
turns the lead screw nuts on the 2 elevation bars. The motor has an integral encoder wheel which, by
means of a photocell, provides the motor motion control signal: each motor revolution corresponds
to a predetermined number of pulses and to a predetermined displacement on the elevation bars.
The direction of rotation of the motor determines whether the treadmill moves upward or
downward.

3.3.2. CONTROLS
To vary the incline, the CPU board sends the up-down board an Up signal (move motor in the up
direction to increase the elevation) or a Down signal (move motor in the down direction to decrease
the elevation). The up-down board accordingly actuates the motor the appropriate direction, by
supplying it with a positive or negative voltage. When the motor moves, the photocell generates the
pulses which are received by the up-down board. The up-down board counts the pulses received
and, when the number corresponds to a 0.5% variation in the incline, toggles the level of the Status
signal transmitted to the CPU board. The CPU board counts the number of Status signal transitions
received. When this value corresponds to the desired incline, it resets the Up or Down signal which
produced the movement.
If during the power-up reset, after having asserted the Up or Down signal, the CPU board does not
receive any Status signal within a few seconds, it resets the asserted signal and displays error
message GRADE MOVEMENT OUT OF ORDER to indicate absence of movement.

The elevation control utilizes the following signals:

Up signal
This is the signal generated by the CPU board (pins 13-15 of connector CN1) to enable
movement of the up-down motor in the upward direction. Under normal conditions the signal is
at logic level low (-0.4 Vdc), and it goes high (4.0 Vdc) to actuate the motor. The signal remains
high for the entire duration of the movement.
The signal enters the up-down board (pin 2-4 of connector CN2) and enables movement of the
motor in the desired direction.

Down signal
This is the signal generated by the CPU board (pin 14-15 of connector CN1) to enable
movement of the up-down motor in the downward direction. Under normal conditions the signal
is at logic level low (-0.8 Vdc), and it goes high (4.0 Vdc) to actuate the motor. The signal
remains high for the entire duration of the movement.
The signal enters the up-down board (pin 3-4 of connector CN2) and enables movement of the
motor in the desired direction.

Motor voltage signal (Vdc)


This is the dc voltage generated by the up-down board (pins 1-2 of connector CN3) to supply the
up-down motor. Its absolute value is 48 Vdc, and the motor will rotate either clockwise or
anticlockwise depending on its polarity. In consequence, the incline of the machine will increase
or decrease.

Pulse signal
This is a square wave signal, alternating between logic level low (0 Vdc) and logic level high (5
Vdc), generated by the photocell in response to movements of the up-down motor. Each pulse
corresponds to a slot of the encoder wheel, which is incorporated into and moves with the motor
itself. The signal enters the up-down board (pin 2-4 of connector CN1) and is used by the updown board for controlling the movement.
The photocell also outputs a direction signal, which varies from logic level high (5 Vdc) to low
(0 Vdc) depending on whether the motor is moving in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.
This signal is input to the up-down board (pin 3-4 of connector CN1).
To operate correctly, the photocell requires a 5 Vdc supply voltage which is provided by the updown board (pins 1-4 of connector CN1).

Status signal
This is the square wave signal generated by the up-down board (pin 1-4 of connector CN2) that
changes its logic level (level low 0 Vdc and level high 5 Vdc) whenever the up-down board
receives from the photocell a number of pulses corresponding to an 0.5% variation in the
elevation.
This signal provides the CPU board (pin 12-15 of connector CN1) with an indication of the
change in machine incline. By counting the number of transitions, the CPU determines the
current elevation and, comparing it with the desired value, determines whether to continue
asserting the Up or Down signal to continue the movement, or whether on the other hand the
desired elevation has been reached, and the Up or Down signal can be reset.
Page 3.9

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

Limit switch signal


This is the signal from the 2 limit switches which determine the machines range of up-down
motion. The lower microswitch is a NC contact input to the up-down board (pin 4-6 of
connector CN3). When this contact opens the circuit board inhibits movement in the down
direction. The upper microswitch is a NO contact input to the up-down board (pin 3-6 of
connector CN3). The upper microswitch is always pressed therefore it provides a NC contact.
When this contact opens the circuit board inhibits movement in the up direction.

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

3.4. AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION SYSTEM


Up until serial number 3905, the machine was equipped with an oil reservoir and pump for the
automatic lubrication of the tread belt. Starting from serial number 3906, these components have
been eliminated, and the automatic tread belt lubrication function is no longer available. However,
for reasons of compatibility, the machine configuration SW procedure still retains the parts
pertaining to the lubrication system.
The principal reasons for the elimination of the automatic lubrication pump are:

Difficulty in finding the right compromise between the quantity of oil and the interval between
successive lubrication cycles, as these are considerably influenced by the working conditions:
how much the machine is used, the average speed, weight of the users, ambient temperature
conditions etc Incorrect values of these parameters have in fact caused problems of both
excessive and insufficient lubrication.
Technological advances have made available new materials for the manufacture of selflubricating tread belts.

3.4.1. MECHANICAL COMPONENTS


The pump and reservoir were positioned above the guard of the up-down motor photocell. In
response to a start command transmitted by the CPU board, a long connecting tube conveyed the oil
from the reservoir to the area indicated in the figure below:

3.4.2. CONTROL SIGNALS


To start the pump, the CPU board sends a signal to the power distribution board which, by means of
a relay, closes the contact carrying the supply voltage (220 VAC) to the pump. The CPU board
asserts the pump-enable signal for a preset period each time that the machine has covered a preset
distance. These values are determined by machine configuration parameters as specified in
paragraph 9.2. .
Resetting the pump enable signal opens the relay contact, switching off the pump.
The reservoir incorporates a float for monitoring the oil level. When the oil level falls below the
minimum mark, a signal is transmitted to the CPU board causing it to display the message BELT
LUBRICANT OUT: REFILL or BELT LUBRICANT OUT, ACT NOW, depending on the SW
release installed, on the LCD at each power-up.
WARNING: This message is ambiguous and may be misinterpreted. In fact it does not
mean that the oil is finished, but only that the oil level is low. When this message first
appears the lubrication can continue to function for at least another 2-3 cycles.
WARNING: The machine can be manually forced to perform an unscheduled
lubrication cycle by simultaneously pressing the 1, 4 and 7 keys.

+12 Vdc signal


This is the DC voltage output by the CPU (pin 10-9 of connector CN2) which enters the pump
interface board (pin 2-1 of connector K1). This voltage reaches one terminal of the relay which
drives the pump.

Start pump signal


This is the signal output by the CPU (pin 12-9 of connector CN2) to the pump interface board
(pin 4-1 of connector K1) to start the lubrication pump. The signal is normally at logic level low
(0 Vdc), and is asserted (5 Vdc) to start the pump. In practice, this signal pulls down the voltage
on the other terminal of the relay which drives the pump, causing the relay to close the contact,
thereby connecting the 220 VAC supply voltage to the pump.
When the lubrication time has elapsed, the CPU resets the start pump signal, disconnecting the
supply voltage from the pump and thus causing it to stop.

Oil low signal


This is the signal output by the pump to the pump interface board (pin 4-5 of connector KR6) to
indicate that the oil level in the reservoir is low. The signal is normally at logic level low (0
Vdc), and is asserted (5 Vdc) to indicate the oil low condition. The signal goes out from the
pump interface board (pin 3-1 of connector K1) and enters the CPU board (pin 11-9 of
connector CN2).
WARNING: The pump interface board also functions as a distribution board for the
220 VAC mains voltage. Depending on the machine version, the pump interface
board supplies the voltage to the up-down board, the inverter, the power supply, the
pump and the cooling fans of the motor and motor guard. Whats more, in the
machine version with LENZE inverter, this board also receives the input from the

Page 3.13

thermal cutouts of the tread belt motor and sends it to the LENZE inverter interface
board.

6.4. THE LCD SHOWS BELT MOTOR HALTED


WARNING: Old SW version shows DAMAGE ON THE BELT MOTOR SYSTEM
instead of this message.
The machine displays this message if:

it has detected a failure to actuate movement of the belt motor at the start of the training session;
the movement of the belt motor is interrupted during the training session.

The most common causes are principally:

One of the motor thermal cutouts has been tripped;


The inverter has shut down for protection from a mains voltage fluctuation (spike or glitch).

In both cases it is recommended to turn off the machine for at least one hour in the first case, and
for a few minutes in the second case before resuming normal operation.
If the machine still does not operate correctly, follow the procedures (which differ depending on the
inverter model used) set out in the following paragraphs.

LENZE INVERTER
In our experience, when machines with the Lenze inverter display this error message, it is necessary
to replace the inverter. In any case, before doing this ensure that the motor is in good condition by
checking that:

The thermal cutouts are not open;


The motor phases are not short-circuited.

Follow the procedure step by step to correctly diagnose the problem. Take particular care with the
checks highlighted by circled numbers, which are described in detail below:
(1)

Disconnect the motor cable from the inverter and place the tester probes between its terminals
U-V, U-W and V-W. The measured resistance should be very high, in the order of MOhms. It
is difficult to obtain a stable resistance measurement, however, a phase can be considered
short-circuited or defective when the measured resistance is in the order of a few tens of
Ohms.

(2)

Place the tester probes between the blue - black, blue - brown and black - brown wires of the
motor cable. The measured resistance should be approximately 1.7 Ohm.

(3)

Disconnect the motor cable from the motor and place a tester between its terminals U-V, U-W

6.11. THE LCD SHOWS WARNING: CHECK BATTERY


The machine displays this error message on power up whenever it finds inconsistent data in the
battery-backed memory. In consequence:

It is normal for the machine to show this message on the first power up after replacing the
display;
It indicates a problem if the message appears at other times.

The cause of the problem may be:

Defective battery that fails to charge to 3.6 Vdc;


The CPU board fails to recharge the battery (see voltage on pins 1 and 2 of connector CN5 on
the CPU board).

6.12. THE LCD SHOWS BELT LUBRICANT OUT: REFILL


WARNING: Old SW version shows BELT LUBRICANT OUT, ACT NOW instead of
this message.
The machine displays this message when the oil level in the reservoir has reached the minimum
mark.
WARNING: This message is ambiguous and may be misinterpreted. In fact it does not
mean that the oil is completely out, but only that its level is low. Under these conditions
the lubrication can continue to operate for at least another 2-3 cycles.
If this message appears even though the oil level is above the minimum mark, the oil-low sensor is
probably damaged and it is necessary to replace the pump.
If a machine not provided with the automatic lubrication system shows this error, the

11. APPENDIX
11.1. TECHNICAL NOTES ON CARDIO RECEIVERS
Technogym utilizes Polar technology for measuring the heart rate frequency of the person training
on the machine. The Polar system consists of:

a transmitter, worn by the person training on the machine, which uses 2 electrodes to detect the
electrical activity of the heart and transmits the measured heart rate by sending an
electromagnetic signal at a frequency of 5 kHz.

a receiver, shown in the figure below, which consists of:

Figure 11.1-1
an antenna a, designated the coil, which receives the signal from the transmitter strap
worn by the user.
an integrated circuit b, designated the ASIC, which has the function of filtering the analog
signal and generating a pulse train corresponding to the received heart rate.
two contacts c parallel to the coil, on which a 15 KOhm resistor is sometimes mounted.
The receiver is connected to the CPU board by means of 3 wires for:
+5 Vdc power supply;
Output signal (heart rate);
ground.
The output is a digital signal that is normally at 5 Vdc and goes to 0 Vdc for a few msec when a
heart beat is detected, as shown in the figure below.

Page 11.1

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

There are 3 types of problems which can typically occur on the heart rate signal:

interference caused by disturbances from sources of electromagnetic noise. These problems


cause the heart rate signal to deviate from the rear value, typically making it higher;
saturation caused by disturbances from sources of electromagnetic noise. In this case the
receiver is no longer able to detect any heart rate signal;
cross-talk similar to the interference problem, but is caused by reception of a signal from
another strap, typically worn by users on adjacent machines if they are too close together.

The following paragraphs contain various suggestions which may be useful for improving the
reception of the cardio signal.

11.1.1. TYPE OF ASIC


The cardio receivers can be equipped with 3 different types of ASIC models, identifiable by the
code marked on the component: MAS, FTC or HRRE. These ASICs are characterized by different
reception ranges and different levels of immunity to noise. Tests have determined that the maximum
reception distances are as follows:
ASIC
MAS
FTC
HRRE

DISTANCE
(cm)
90
100
85

As regards sensitivity to noise, the best ASIC is the HRRE model. This ASIC is also the one
recommended by the manufacturer.

11.1.2. PRESENCE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS


The receiver is sensitive to electromagnetic fields produced by the switching of LEDs, motor
brushes, the commutation of power devices, monitors, neon lights, stereo equipment, etc., which can
impair its operation. It has been found that such electromagnetic fields directly affect the analog part

Page 11.2

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

of the receiver (detected by the coil) whereas they have no effect on digital components such as the
CPU receiver connecting cable.
Electromagnetic interference can take different forms: on the one hand, the receiver may detect and
hence generate spurious transients or periodic noise pulse, or on the other hand the receiver may
become saturated. The presence of transients is generally accompanied by irregular blinking of the
heart rate LED on the display, but does not affect the value shown which is processed by special SW
filters. The presence of periodic noise pulse effect the heart rate signal. Saturation of the receiver,
on the other hand, is a phenomenon which, depending on its intensity, can reduce the maximum
reception distance until it becomes completely impossible to receive a signal.
In the presence of electromagnetic noise, use the frequency signal monitor shown in the schematic
below to determine the presence, intensity and effect of the fields.

This circuit causes the LED to light for every heart beat and/or transient detected: in this way it is
possible to determine whether there is electromagnetic noise, and identify its source.
The only effective solution in the presence of electromagnetic interference is to reduce the power of
the noise source, using a trial and error method based principally on:

Shielding the noise source.


Increasing the distance between the noise source and the receiver, if necessary by changing the
position of the machines.

It is also possible to reduce the receivers ability to detect interference by:

Changing the position of the receiver;


Reducing the sensitivity of the receiver (see paragraph 11.1.3. )
In some cases, it was found to be effective to screen the receiver inside a tagger box having a
thickness of 0.15 mm.

Please note that these are merely some possible suggestions, and that the effectiveness of the
chosen solution must be verified in practice.

11.1.3. REDUCING RECEIVER SENSITIVITY


It is possible to diminish the receivers sensitivity in order to reduce its range of reception. This
solution is recommended in the following cases:

presence of electromagnetic fields which interfere with reception or saturate the receiver;
problems due to interaction between the receiver on one machine and the signal transmitted by a
user training on another machine that is too close and cannot be moved farther away.
Page 11.3

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

Sensitivity is reduced by soldering a resistor in parallel with the coil. Normally, the receiver already
has a 15 KOhm resistor mounted in parallel with the coil, however it is advisable to check for its
presence.
The following table shows the nominal values of reception distance based on the value of the
resistor soldered on the coil:
RESISTANCE
(Ohm)
15K
13K
11K
9K1
6K8
5K1
3K
2K
1K

DISTANCE
(cm)
89
88
87
85
84
81
74
69
57

Please note that these are only nominal values. The actual reduction in sensitivity must be verified
experimentally, taking great care not to excessively reduce the reception distance.
WARNING: if there is already a 15 KOhm resistor mounted in parallel with the coil,
note that adding another resistor in parallel will produce a total resistance value
equivalent to the parallel combination of the added resistor and the existing 15 KOhm
resistor.

11.1.4. MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS


Mechanical vibrations may cause slight shifting of the coil, giving rise to transient impulses. If these
transients occur only occasionally they can be easily filtered by SW. However, if the mechanical
vibrations are periodic, they can produce periodic pulses which may be interpreted as correct heart
rate values.
To eliminate or reduce the effects of vibration, house the receiver between the foam pads in such a
way that any vibrations are correctly damped.
WARNING: when securing the foam pads and the receiver with a strap, be careful not
to overtighten the strap as this may reduce the damping capacity of the foam pad.

11.1.5. POSITION OF THE RECEIVER


Carefully position the receiver according to the specifications below:

the coil must be directed toward the user;


the coil must be positioned well away (even a few centimeters) from the LEDs;
the cable must be folded immediately after the connection on the receiver, so that it does not
pass near the coil;

Page 11.4

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

the receiver must be directed in such a way that its axis of reception is parallel to that of the
transmitter, as shown in the figure below:

Figure 11.1-2
Please note that even small departures from the above specifications may considerably impair
the accuracy of reception.
The optimal configuration is therefore that shown in the figure below:

Figure 11.1-3

11.1.6. ROUTING OF CABLES


Particular care must be taken in the routing of cables to prevent interference with the receiver coil.

11.9. INSTALLING THE HITACHI INVERTER IN PLACE OF


THE LENZE INVERTER
Replacing the Lenze inverter on the machine with a Hitachi inverter requires a number of
modifications to be made:

The Hitachi inverter is smaller, and therefore an adapter plate must be used to mount it on the
supports of the Lenze inverter; this mounting plate has order code 0C732;
The inverter requires a different braking resistor, with order code 0WT111;
The inverter interface board is different: the one for the Hitachi inverter has code 0WQ031;
The inverter connecting cables are different: supply cable for inverter, up-down board and
power supply, cable connecting the inverter to the inverter interface board, motor thermal cutout
cable and motor cable.

To facilitate the upgrade, in addition to the inverter itself, which has order code 0WR014, it is
necessary to order:

Code 0WQ066: Lenze-Hitachi conversion kit;


Code 0C732: mounting plate;
Code 0WT111: braking resistor.

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

11.10. LEAKAGE CURRENT PROBLEMS WITH HITACHI E5


INVERTER
The introduction of Hitachi inverter version E5 on the machine has given rise to problems with
increased earth leakage currents, which result in non-conformance to the relevant regulations for
electromedical equipment.
In fact, in order to keep the emissions within the limits set down by the regulations for light
industry, this inverter version has a capacitive filter to ground on the supply conductors, which
increases the current in the earth conductor up to 1200 A.
The leakage currents for the individual machine components are detailed in the table below:
COMPONENT
Inverter
Power supply
Filter
Transformer
TOTAL FOR MACHINE

Model
Hitachi J100 E5
Lambda ZT30-522
Schaffner FN350-20-29
Schaffner FS5458-20-29
with FN350 filter
with FS5458 filter

Ileakage
1200 A
300 A
4900 A
350 A
5400 A
1850
A

To ensure conformance to the values prescribed by the regulations in force, pending further
instructions proceed as follows:

On the Lambda ZT30-522 power supply, eliminate the two capacitors C3 and C4 (2200 pF).
This reduces the leakage of the power supply to approximately 0 A.
On the Hitachi E5 inverter, eliminate the two capacitors CNX and CPX (10 nF). This reduces
the leakage of the power supply to approximately 0 A.
In place of the Schaffner 350/20/29 filter, use the Schaffner FS5458-20-29 filter specially
manufactured for Technogym, which has order code 0WB018. This filter is installed as standard
on machines with SN 6000120008, or raise the filter off the ground.
Suspend the Schaffner 350-20-29 filter using insulating spacers and plastic screws. This reduces
the leakage of the filter to approximately 0 A.
Replace the Schaffner 660-3/06 filter with the Schaffner 610B-3/06 filter with order code
0WB016.
Replace the Schaffner 660-10/06 filter with the Schaffner 610B-10/06 filter with order code
0WB015.
Always obtain authorization from the Technogym Service Center before carrying out
this operation.

With these modifications, the machine leakage current is reduced to approximately 400 A,
bringing it within the 500 A limit prescribed by the regulations.

Page 11.13

RUNRACE : Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 2.0

WARNING: The above modifications do not significantly influence the tripping of the
automatic circuit breakers, as these are normally calibrated for residual currents of 30
mA, well above the leakage current of the machine under normal conditions. In this case
it may be useful to check that:

the automatic circuit breaker is connected to only one machine, rather than
protecting the general circuit of the entire machine line. In fact, even though the
leakage currents of the individual machines are low, when many machines are
connected to the same circuit the sum of their leakage currents may exceed the
capacity of the circuit breaker;

the automatic circuit breaker is in perfect working order, and in particular that the
50 Hz lowpass filter, installed to eliminate high frequency disturbances caused by the
inverter, is operating correctly.
