Testing inverter for SportsArt gym treadmill


In this video, we show the final test of an inverter that has been configured to be connected to a SportsArt treadmill.
For safety reasons, the inverter is configured in such a way, that if the user turns the potentiometer to its maximum, the speed takes 25 seconds to rise gradually to the max. In case the potentiometer is turned suddenly to zero, it takes 10 sec. for the treadmill to go down to its minimum.
 
We can realize specific custom configurations to replace various inverters including SportsArt, Panatta, Technogym, Life Fitness, and others. In some cases, it is possible to configure the inverter to communicate directly with the console.
See examples at the following link or contact us.

Treadmill emergency stop Q&A

Question (Rob W)
Hi,
I am an electrical engineer and have a Trotter 525.
I want to install a magnetic or rip cord switch to the treadmill to ensure my son who has had an head injury doing physio is safe.
Do you sell the switch and cord? I can then drill, install and wire it up.
Thanks.
Answer (Parts for Treadmill)
Dear Rob,
Usually in new treadmills there is a magnetic safety key like this
On the back of the console there is a small piece of metal, usually glued (which keeps the safety key in place) and a sensor (also glued) which opens and closes a 2 pin circuit. There is no need to drill the console to install this.
The sensor has a wire of about 100 cm length, which goes down the treadmill posts to the motor compartment. Down there you usually find a controller board which gets the sensor signal, if it's open, it stops the motor power or doesn't allow it to start.
If there is no key on your treadmill (looks an old model), you could make a switch yourself so that the sensor controls the switch below and cuts the current in case the safety key is removed.
Is that what are you looking for? If the situation is not so bad, that could be good, but please note that there are on the market specific treadmills aimed at rehabilitation which have additional safety features (such as reduced speed, long handrails, automatic-speed setting, etc.), which can lower risks more than the use of the safety key which is designed for people in good physical standing.

Today we help Abraham, a man from Kenya who needs money to fund fracture repair surgery.

At Parts for Treadmill we believe that being physically active in life is the best medicine against diseases, especially to face the problem of ageing in our counties of the first world. This is the reason why we offer qualitative reasonably priced spare parts and service for the repair of fitness equipment.

In third world countries, unfortunately, people have different problems and sometimes we want to help. Thank to watsi https://watsi.org we are helping today Abraham with a donation of 570 USD. We would like to share its story here. You can donate to any of watsi patient with an amount of your choice.
Abraham's story

Abraham is a casual laborer from Kenya. He is a hardworking father of one. Abraham is the firstborn in a family of four. He lost his parents when he was only ten, which forced him to drop out of school and to take care of his three younger sisters.
On his way to work, Abraham was aboard a tractor loaded with logs. Unfortunately, before reaching their destination, the tractor lost control and hit a wall. Abraham broke his leg, while the others only suffered minor injuries. Abraham is not able to walk on his own and experiences pain.
Fortunately, surgeons at Watsi's medical partner can help. Abraham will undergo a fracture repair procedure, called an open reduction and internal fixation. This treatment will enable him walk again and go back to work again Now, our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $968 to fund this procedure. Parts For Treadmill contributed with $570, needed to complete the crowdfunding.
“I pray to God to give me good health so that continue working hard,” says Abraham.


Abraham underwent fracture repair surgery.

Abraham’s surgery was successful. He experienced pain after the surgery but later became stable. When he recovers fully, he will return to his job of tree cutting.

“I wish to thank all who made my surgery successful. I am recovering on well,” he says.

E1 E2 treadmill errors/ speed sensor

The errors E1 and E2 on the treadmill often depend on problems with the speed sensor (when it is not a fault of other components). In fact, they indicate the wrong reading of the actual speed of the treadmill.
If you need spare parts or assistance, contact us http://www.partsfortreadmill.com/index.php/


 
The most used sensor is the magnetic type (in the photo). In most cases, the sensor has a "cigar" shape while in some cases a square sensor is mounted. The square sensor is identical to the cigar sensor in the functionality. In both cases, before proceeding with the replacement it is advisable to check that the magnet placed on the pulley is close to the sensor (2-3 mm) otherwise the missing reading may depend on the fact that the sensor has moved due to the vibrations of the treadmill.
If the treadmill doesn’t start at all, please check the controller first.
