Test the EMI filter on a treadmill

The EMI filter protects other users connected to the home network from interference. A malfunctioning filter may cause interference and damage to other electric equipment connected or may block the current supply to the motor control board.

Test

Set up the multimeter on the OHM measurement

Test 1: from point A to point B, normal reading 0.4 Ohm (there must be continuity)

Test 2: from point C to point B, normal reading 0.4 Ohm (there must be continuity)

Test 3: from point A to point E, normal reading 1 or OL (there should be no continuity, if there was, it would indicate a short circuit)
