A
special kit is now available from Treadmill Parts, that allows you to
replace the control board and the motor of the treadmills branded
Nordick Track, Proform, Weslo at a reasonable price (under € 250).
You
can see above an example of installation .
The
kit has been designed specifically for use in Europe, with 220 / 240V
mains voltage and consists of a board, motor and two convenient metal
clamps to fix the motor in position.
The
advantages of using 180V engines instead of the original 130V engines
are notable and explained in other articles on this blog.
Moreover,
the supplied controller is equipped with a special overload LED which
will light up, causing the board to slow down, if it reads abnormal
absorption. This is a useful indication to notice the need for
maintenance BEFORE damaging the components of the treadmill.
The
board is composed of two sides and can be disassembled to position it
in the same position as the original board (as for example) or it can
be fixed on the frame by making two holes with the drill, or with
double-sided tape.
In case of fixing with double sided tape, remember
to use a grounding cable to ground the board frame because the tape
may be insulating. This is to maintain electrical safety.
