Equipment Overview
2
General Description
Standard features include the emergency stop (ESTOP) switch, a full handrail set, and
a long, 60-inch walking surface. Designed for simplified serviceability, the T-2100
Treadmill has fewer moving parts than other treadmills, built-in self-calibration, and
easy-to-replace assemblies.

Intended Use
The T-2100 Treadmill is intended for use with any one of the several GE Healthcare
exercise testing systems or the MTC-1 (manual treadmill controller) for administering a
controlled exercise load during a diagnostic stress test.

Power Switch
When turning the T-2100 Treadmill power switch to the OFF position, there is a period
of approximately 1 second when the remaining power cycles through the system. The
T-2100 Treadmill will not power up until all remaining power has cycled through the
system. After turning the power OFF, wait approximately 1 second before turning
the power back ON.

Emergency Stop Switch (ESTOP)

The emergency stop switch (ESTOP) is intended for emergency situations where
immediately stopping the T-2100 Treadmill is required to deliver appropriate
emergency care to the patient or health care provider, as implied by the American
Heart Association "Guidelines for Clinical Exercise Testing Laboratories" (1995). It is
not intended for routinely stopping the T-2100 Treadmill.
NOTE:
The ESTOP switch cable must be plugged into the T-2100 Treadmill connection
panel for the T-2100 Treadmill to operate. If the ESTOP is not installed, the T-2100
Treadmill will not operate.

Walking Belt
With the power switch in the OFF position (or with AC power disconnected), the T-2100
Treadmill walking belt can revolve freely in either direction. With the power switch in

2021403-031C T-2100 Treadmill 13

Equipment Overview

the ON position but the T-2100 Treadmill not running, the T-2100 Treadmill walking
belt is locked in both directions.
Press the emergency stop switch (ESTOP) and the T-2100 Treadmill promptly stops but
the walking belt can still revolve (allowing for removal of foreign objects).
After the ESTOP button is released, the walking belt enters an unlocked state for 20
seconds, after which the walking belt is locked in both directions.

Drive Controller System

The 3 HP brushless DC motor is controlled by a separate control box and connects
directly to the front roller with a drive belt. A 15-pound flywheel, attached to the
motor’s drive shaft, keeps "footfall" variance to a minimum. An "adjustment plate"
above the motor mounting bracket contains two vertical bolts for adjusting the
drive belt tension.
The T-2100 Treadmill can accommodate a weight capacity up to 450 lbs.

Elevation System
The elevation system uses a rack and pinion operation to raise and lower the T-2100
Treadmill rather than jack screws and chains. The elevation motor attaches to a small
gearbox that connects to the pinion shaft. The upper- and lower-limit switches are
mounted on a fixed block in contact with a rack, making them easy to reach and
adjust. Replacing the elevation motor only requires the removal of the three mounting
bolts and detaching the motor from the pinion shaft coupling.

Bed Assembly
The one-piece bed assembly, with side rails and struts bolted together, enables quick
belt and bed replacement for field service personnel.

Electronic Assembly
An isolated "electronics box" (e-box) contains the power supply PCB, control PCB, +24
V power supply, and an EMI Filter. The box is accessible with the shroud removed and
contains parts that can be replaced in the field.

4. Turn the T-2100 Treadmill power switch On.

5. Turn the controlling device power switch On.

Secure the Cables

Tie down cables to ensure they do not get caught in the wheels or the elevation racks.

Check Walking Belt Tension and Tracking

Operate the walking belt at various speeds and verify that it tracks evenly down the
center of the walking board. If not, adjust the walking belt tracking. See “Walking Belt
Tracking And Tension Adjustment” on page 40.

Check Emergency Stop Switch

1. Manually control the speed of the T-2100 Treadmill from the controlling device.
With the belt moving at a relatively high speed, press the emergency stop
switch. The T-2100 Treadmill belt will stop promptly but the belt will not lock,
allowing for removal of foreign objects. To release the switch, turn the button
1/4-inch turn in either direction.
2. Use the controlling equipment to terminate the exercise session and turn off
the T-2100 Treadmill.

Self-Calibration
The T-2100 Treadmill has a built-in self-calibration routine.

7. Wait for the self-calibration routine to complete. When the elevation and the
walking belt have completely stopped (approx. 2 minutes), the self-calibration is
finished.
Self-Calibration Routine
a. The T-2100 Treadmill checks the functionality of the elevation limit
switches and the potentiometer by rising to the maximum height limit
switch.
b. The T-2100 Treadmill sets the elevation parameters by descending to
the minimum height limit switch and then rising again to the maximum
height limit switch.
c. The T-2100 Treadmill descends to 10% grade and revolves the walking
belt at 3.2 km/h (2 mph) for 30 seconds.
d. The T-2100 Treadmill stops the walking belt and the grade stops at 10%.

Check T-2100 Treadmill Level

NOTE:
Before you check the T-2100 Treadmill level, make sure that it has been
moved to its final destination.
1. Use the controlling equipment to verify the T-2100 Treadmill elevation is 0.0%.
2. Check the T-2100 Treadmill level with a carpenter’s level.
3. If the T-2100 Treadmill is uneven, adjust the feet at the rear of the T-2100
Treadmill until it is level.
4. If you cannot level the T-2100 Treadmill safely, move it to another location.

Leakage Tests
The leakage tests are safety tests to ensure that the equipment poses no electrical
health hazards. Use the table below to determine which tests apply to the unit under
test and the maximum allowable leakage currents. For international leakage limits,
refer to the internal standards agencies of that particular country.
If the unit under test fails the leakage tests, do not allow the customer to use the
equipment. Call Tech Support for assistance.
GE Healthcare recommends that you perform these tests:
• Before applying power for the first time
• Whenever internal assemblies are serviced
NOTE:
The accuracy of the leakage tests depends on a properly-wired wall outlet. Do not
proceed until you verify the integrity of the power source.
WARNING:
Total system leakage current must not exceed 300 microamperes.

Maintenance

Inspection and Cleaning

Visual Inspection
Regularly inspect the AC power cord and all other cords and cables for fraying or other
damage. Perform safety tests on any repaired cords.
Inspect all plugs, cables and connectors for bent prongs or pins. Verify that all cords,
socketed components, and connectors are securely seated.
Inspect the following for excessive wear or damage:
• Walking belt
• Drive belt
• Handrail and hardware

Exterior Cleaning
Turn the T-2100 Treadmill system off. Clean the exterior surfaces with a clean, soft
cloth and a mild dishwashing detergent diluted in water. Wring out the excess water
from the cloth and take care not to drip solutions on the e-box connections and ports.
(Use antiseptic cleaner on the handrails and walking belt.) Avoid contact with open
vents, plugs or connectors. Dry the surfaces with a clean cloth or paper towel.

Interior Cleaning
Complete any pre-service procedures prior to opening the unit or performing any
interior cleaning. Clean the unit as needed, but at least once per month.

Walking Belt Tracking And Tension Adjustment

WARNING:
Keep hands, hair, jewelry, and loose clothing away from moving parts.

When To Adjust
The T-2100 Treadmill walking-belt tension is set at the factory. However, you should
test the belt tracking every time the T-2100 Treadmill is moved. Run the T-2100
Treadmill for several minutes with no one exercising. If the belt tracks to one side or
the other, then you must adjust the belt tracking.
It is not unusual for the T-2100 Treadmill belt to move slightly off center while a person
with a heavy gait is exercising. A properly adjusted belt re-centers itself when the
person steps off the T-2100 Treadmill. If the belt does not re-center, check the T-2100
Treadmill level and adjust the belt tracking as described.

36 T-2100 Treadmill 2021403-031C

 Maintenance

Walking Belt Tension Adjustment

1. Use the controlling equipment to set the walking belt speed to 3 – 5 km/h (2 –
3 mph).
2. Hold on to the handrails, mount the T-2100 Treadmill, and begin walking at a
normal pace.
3. Hold on to the handrails tightly and step harder and heavier onto the walking
belt, adding more pressure and weight.
NOTE:
The belt tension should be just enough to keep the belt from slipping.
4. Adjust the tension bolts until the walking belt does not slip.

Arrows point to location of tension screws.

Walking Belt Tracking Adjustment

1. Use the controlling equipment to set the walking belt speed to 7 – 8 km/h (4 –
5 mph).
2. To correct a belt that tracks to the right, turn the right pulley adjustment screw
CLOCKWISE in 1/8-turn increments until the belt tracks in the center. Wait 2 or 3
minutes between each 1/8-turn to allow the belt position to stabilize.
To correct a belt that tracks to the left, turn the left pulley adjustment screw
CLOCKWISE in 1/8-turn increments until the belt tracks in the center. Wait 2 or 3
minutes between each 1/8- turn to allow the belt position to stabilize.
NOTE:
Make adjustments to the pulley screws in small increments.
Over-adjustments and repeated tightening of the screws can cause too
much tension on the belt.
3. If either adjustment in step 2 results in an over-adjustment of the belt tracking,
loosen the pulley screw that was tightened and wait several minutes for
the T-2100 Treadmill belt position to stabilize. Then tighten the other pulley
adjustment screw.

2021403-031C T-2100 Treadmill 37

Maintenance

4. Increase the speed to 16 – 19 km/h (10 – 12 mph) and verify that the belt
continues to track in the center.
5. Check the walking belt tension again to verify that it has not been loosened
when adjusting the tracking. See “Walking Belt Tension Adjustment” on page 37.

Theory of Operation

Power Board (PCB) Theory

General Description
The power board and processor board function together as part of the e-box to
control the T-2100 Treadmill. The power board contains the following:
• Mains components
• Isolation transformer
• Elevation and drive interface circuitry
• Interface to processor board

Precautions
Handling of this power board or harness should be done by qualified service personnel
observing customary EST protections procedures.

Initial Board Conditions

The power board initial conditions are all at 0V.

Power Input Requirements

The T-2100 Treadmill is used on single phase AC. The specific power ratings are
200-240VAC, 50-60 Hz, 16A.

Power Distribution/Isolation
The power board receives 200 to 240VAC power (nominal 220V). The isolation
transformer supplies 12V to two switching regulators. The switching regulators supply
+5V to both the isolated side and the non-isolated side of the processor board. Bypass
caps are distributed across the board to minimize EMI and power supply noise.

Power Inlet, Drive Power Outlet & Mains

The power comes in on the terminal block, gets fused and filtered, and is distributed
to the isolation transformer, out to the drive system and to a +24V power supply.
Externally accessible T 0.5AL fuses are provided for the control portion of the circuitry.
A 2.5 Amp internal fuse is dedicated to protecting the +24V power supply. The 20 Amp
internal fuses are for the drive section and are intended to protect the wiring from
major faults within the drive system. Spacings for creepage and isolation are critical in
this whole section.

Power Supplies
There are two identical power supplies. One is for the microcontroller power and the
serial link, the other is for signal interface to the control drive. The isolated serial link
supply provides 5-volt power to operate a manual controller and the control circuitry
on the processor board.

40 T-2100 Treadmill 2021403-031C

 Theory of Operation

Unregulated power for the isolated power comes from the center tapped isolation
transformer, the non-isolated power comes from the 24V power supply. These are
both fed through the full-wave bridge to the switching regulator.
The switching regulator is a step-down, buck PWM-type that switches at about
100 KHz. It also has an internal current limit of 4 amps. The 5-volt regulators are
configured to produce about 5.1 volts.

Local Ride-Through Power

Located on the power board are 3 Ultracapacitors. They are fed by the isolated
switching power supply. These capacitors provide 3.3 Farads of capacitance that give
the processor board power to logically power down activities in case of a loss of
power to the T-2100 Treadmill.

Processor Board Connectors

The power board has two connectors that directly interface with the processor board.
The first, a 3-pin power connector provides +12V Unregulated power, +5V isolated
power and isolated ground to the control side of the processor board. The 10-pin
ribbon cable provides a signal interface 24V power, as well as +5V non-Isolated power
and a non-isolated ground connection.

Isolation Transformer
The isolation transformer provides isolation for the secondary. The 220 VAC primary
is stepped down and isolated from the 12V (CT) secondary. The secondary provides
+12V unregulated power for a 5-volt switching supply.

Elevation Relays
A direction control and an enable relay control the elevation motor. A change in
direction should only occur when the elevation motor is stopped. The enable relay is
disabled by the normally-closed limit switches at the end of travel to prevent damage
to the motor. The LIMIT* signal goes low when a limit switch is activated in a particular
direction.

Elevation Sensor
The elevation sensor is a 5-turn pot that is coupled to the elevation rack. The
voltage on pin 2 should be proportional to elevation. That is, low voltage should
be low elevation, increasing voltage should indicate increasing elevation. During
self-calibration, the offset and gain remain in software memory. Initially, the limit
switch positions are the reference for self-calibration. Once the offset and gain are
adjusted, the pot position determines the elevation.

ESD and EMI Compatibility

The I/O connectors on the power board have current-limiting resistors, Zener diodes,
or filtering capacitors wherever possible to prevent EMI from escaping the board.
These components also limit rise-time and voltages which may come from ESD
or other noise sources.

Processor Board (PCB) Theory

General Description
The processor board and power board function together to control the T-2100
Treadmill. The processor board contains the following:
• Micro-controller CPU circuitry (MC9S12DG128)
• Flash Memory (calibration/history data)
• Temperature sensor
• Serial control links
• I/O circuitry
The I/O circuitry receive inputs from a stress system controller along with feedback
from the T-2100 Treadmill sensors to control the elevation and drive relays located on
the power board.

Power Distribution
The processor board receives two sources of 5-volt power from the power board: an
isolated supply, and a non-isolated supply. Bypass caps distributed across the board
minimize EMI and power supply noise.

Clock Generator
A 16.00 MHz oscillator in a colpitts configuration is used to provide the processor
clock. This configuration creates a small amplitude (1 Vp-p) sinusoid mounted on a
DC bias level to minimize EMI.

2021403-031C T-2100 Treadmill 45

Theory of Operation

Reset Generator
The reset/watchdog/power-loss signal generator will reset the CPU if any of the five
conditions below occur:
1. Upon receipt of the "BREAK" signal for more than 3.3 seconds over the host
serial port, the 100K/0.33uF RC will discharge sending a low level at the MR*
input and creating the RESET* signal.
2. If the 5V (+/- 2%) supply falls below 4.55, RESET* will be activated.
3. If the CPU fails to reset the watchdog timer before 1.6 seconds, the RESET* will
be activated. The Firmware has the watchdog control task separated form
the other systems tasks through its real time operating system (RTOS) to help
guarantee that all tasks are running.
4. If the ESTOP plug is disconnected from the jack mounted on the processor board
a RESET* signal will be generated.
5. Manual reset.

Processor Circuitry
The MC9s12DG128 runs at 16 MHz with an internal bus clock of 8 MHz. Its code
is stored in the 128 KB Flash EPROM. The MC9s12DG128 addresses its memory
internally. The processor handles all the I/O, including two serial channels, 4 analog
inputs, and digital inputs and outputs to control the T-2100 Treadmill grade, speed,
calibration and ESTOP processes.

Analog Inputs
Ratiometric Inputs
Elevation feedback (from the pot), +5.1V ISO ref, VUNREG ref are designed to take
ratiometric voltages referenced to +5.1V ISO as inputs to the processor.
Temperature Sensor
The processor monitors temperature and saves peak temperature in EEROM data
storage for use by field service. The sensor outputs 10mV/deg C. The OPAMP provides
a gain of 4.92. The MC9s12DG128 ADC will produce the following output:
• In hardware
• ADC value = Temp(deg C) * 10mV/deg C * GAIN * [256(max ADC counts)/VREF]
• In firmware
• Readout temp = (ADC value) * 4 / 10
• For example:
At 25 degrees Celsius
ADC value = 25 * 0.01 * 4.92 * 256 * /5.1 = 62 (Dec)
Readout temp = 62 * 4 / 10 = 24.8
At 100 degrees Celsius
ADC value = 100 * 0.01 * 4.92 * 256 * /5.1 = 247 (Dec)
Readout temp = 247 * 4 / 10 = 98.8

46 T-2100 Treadmill 2021403-031C

 Theory of Operation

RS-232/422 Interfaces
The LTC1334 serves as the Host to IFC board transceiver. It translates the RS422/232
serial protocol voltage levels to TTL levels. The MAX489 is the transceiver for the
processor board to drive communication. It translates RS422 signals to proper TTL
levels.

ESD and EMI Compatibility

The connectors on this board have current limiting resistors and filtering capacitors on
almost every signal to prevent EMI from escaping this board. These components also
limit rise-time and voltages which may come from ESD or other noise sources.

Isolation
The drive serial communication circuit, drive, and elevation control signals share a
common ground that may be attached to the chassis. The Host serial communication,
ESTOP connection, calibration button, and control circuitry are all placed on isolated
power. This ground allocation separates the micro controller ground from the chassis
ground by using opto-couplers allowing at least 4KVAC without breakdown and
double isolation for 250 VAC.

Operation
The processor board’s main task is to monitor the proper T-2100 Treadmill operation
by testing selected variables from the system. In case of any variable operating out of
specs, the firmware will first detect the event, then log it, and finally stop any further
operation. For speed control, the processor board will act as a translator between the
host and the drive system. For elevation control, the board will act as a controller
by providing proper calibration and by handling elevation increment/decrement
commands received via the host serial port.
Start-Up Sequence
Immediately after power-up, the processor board will start a self-test procedure
where the following subsystems are tested: internal RAM, board temperature, external
serial flash memory, host communication, drive communication, control signals,
elevation, power supply, ESTOP, and calibration. If any of the above tests result in an
abnormal condition, the processor board will stop any further operation and will log
the condition on its external flash memory. After all subsystems are determined to
be operating properly, the processor board will enter in a standby state until a serial
command is received from the host. The processor board will wait until the host
sends a belt start command "B<CR>" to start operations. After receiving the belt start
command, the board will enable the drive by activating the D_DRIVE_EN signal on J2.
After this action, the drive will be activated and in standby state. At this moment
elevation and speed control commands can be sent to the processor board.
Elevation Control
The elevation control process works as follows: The host will send an elevation
command "GXXX0<CR>" to the processor board, the micro controller will interpret this
data in order to enable the elevation subsystem by asserting EN_ELEV signal on J9 and,
based on the actual elevation status, assert/de-assert the UP/DOWN* signal on J9
until the requested elevation is achieved. The elevation range is from 0 to 25% grade.

Theory of Operation

Speed Control
The host will send a speed command "SXXX0<CR>" to the processor board, the
firmware in the micro controller will translate this command into a data frame, It will
enable the drive if it is not already enable at this moment, and will send the frame
through its drive serial interface. The drive will interpret the data frame and will
answer with data ACK or NACK depending on the transmission condition. The speed
range is 0 to 13.5 MPH.

Self-Calibration
Press and hold the Calibration push-button (located on the connection panel). Power
up the treadmill and continue to hold the Calibration button until the T-2100 Treadmill
starts to elevate.
NOTE:
Hold the Calibration button for at least 4 seconds. May be up to 25 seconds only
for a T-2100 processor board that has never been calibrated.

ESTOP
In order to operate the T-2100 Treadmill, the ESTOP plug must be attached to its
receptacle on the processor board. Failure to perform this action will initiate a RESET*
sequence on the microcontroller disabling any further power up sequence. Verify
that the ESTOP switch is not activated. Failure to verify this condition will cause the
T-2100 Treadmill to not operate.

Precautions
The board must be powered before signals are applied to it.
The circuitry is static sensitive. Therefore, when removing or installing boards, the
power should be Off.

Drive Controller Theory

General Description
A brushless DC motor consists of permanent magnets that create a static magnetic
field and electromagnets that, when energized, provide motion. The magnets attach
to a shaft to form a rotor with an even number of magnetic poles. One or more
electromagnets are wound on a laminated steel stator to form the motor phases.
Typically, brushless DC motors have four, six, or eight magnetic poles with three
winding phases.
With multiple motor phases, there is always one of the phases that can be energized
to provide rotational torque-regardless of the rotor position with respect to the
stator. Energizing the phases in the proper sequence and polarity provides constant
unidirectional torque. Transistors have replaced brushes to accomplish phase
switching. Sensors determine the rotor position and turn on the correct motor phase.

Phases and Power Switches

The most common arrangement of phases and power switches is the three-phase,
Y-connected windings with six power switches. Each phase consists of two windings
in series, spaced 120 electrical degrees apart. Each phase can be energized in either
direction by turning on two of the six power devices. This arrangement of switches
52 T-2100 Treadmill 2021403-031C
 Theory of Operation

and motor windings is identical to an AC motor drive. The number of electrical cycles
per mechanical revolution is equal to the number of rotor poles divided by two.

Motor Torque
To control motor torque, it is necessary to control the current through the motor
windings since torque is directly proportional to motor current. Rapidly switching the
power devices on and off limits the effective voltage applied to the motor winding.
Using a feedback loop, a voltage command controls the motor current. This is called
the current loop or inner loop of the drive.

Motor Speed
Control of motor torque is only half of the motor control process, since the ultimate
goal of a motor drive is to provide an adjustable motor speed. The simplest speed
control loop consist of a summing junction to determine the difference between the
desired motor speed and the actual motor speed, along with a gain block that feeds
into the current loop. The current loop may be considered a single block with voltage
as an input and motor current as an output. The overall feedback loop is called the
velocity loop or outer loop of the drive. While this system controls motor speed, it
cannot control the exact motor speed since some error signal is required to drive the
current loop. The actual motor speed is dependent on the speed command, the load,
the error gain, and the characteristics of the motor itself.
Adding an integrator to the error amplifier allows exact speed control. Any speed error
results in an output from the integrator that builds with time and causes an output
to the current loop. This loop, therefore, will seek zero speed error. This is the type of
velocity loop used in the T-2100 Treadmill drive.

Electrical Requirements
The two black wires that exit the side of the enclosure supply power to the drive. The
power source should be single phase, 200–240VAC, 50–60Hz, 16A.
Maximum input current is 16A.
Fuses should be FLM 20A SLO only. Substituting a different fuse type may cause
a fire or safety hazard.
The orange wire from the side of the enclosure is connected to the sheetmetal
enclosure and should be connected to the designated terminal on the power terminal
block. Do not connect this wire to the T-2100 Treadmill frame which would cause a
safety hazard.
The motor wires exit through the flexible conduit on the left side of the enclosure.
These wires carry the pulsed 320V to the motor. Be sure to observe proper phasing
when connecting these wires. The drive will not operate with incorrect phasing.
NOTE:
If the motor is disconnected, do not let the motor wires short to each other or any
other point. If it rotates, the motor will function as a generator, and it may be
damaged or cause a shock hazard. The drain wire should be connected to the
motor frame. Make sure this connection is secure.

Troubleshooting

Emergency Stop Switch Verification

Verify that the emergency stop switch is installed and connected. The emergency stop
switch (ESTOP) must be installed for the T-2100 Treadmill to operate. If the ESTOP is
not installed, the T-2100 Treadmill will not operate.

Power Switch
When turning the T-2100 Treadmill power switch to the OFF position, there is a period
of approximately 1 second when the remaining power cycles through the system. The
T-2100 Treadmill will not power up until all remaining power has cycled through the
system. After turning OFF the T-2100 Treadmill, wait approximately 1 second before
turning the power back ON.

Burn-In Mode
Burn-in mode is a repetitive cycle of elevation calibration and walking belt
revolutions. It can be helpful when attempting to replicate an intermittent problem
for troubleshooting.

Activating Burn-In
WARNING:
INJURY TO PERSON. During the burn-in process the T-2100 Treadmill will reach
maximum elevation and speed in a repetitive cycle until power is removed. Make
sure you monitor the site at all times.
Make sure there are no customers or patients on or near the T-2100 Treadmill
during burn-in.
To activate the burn-in mode, do the following:
1. Remove controlling device (CASE, MTC-1) cable or turn off the controlling device.
2. Unlock the emergency stop switch.
3. Connect the AC power cable on the T-2100 Treadmill to the wall outlet.

This initiates the self-calibration routine.

NOTE:
The burn-in mode can only be activated while the T-2100 Treadmill is
performing a self-calibration.
7. Press the Calibration button again as soon as the T-2100 Treadmill gets to the
maximum height limit switch (maximum 30 seconds) and hold until the T-2100
Treadmill elevation starts changing again (maximum 2 seconds). This initiates
the burn-in mode. The self-calibration routine must finish before the burn-in
mode starts.
Self-Calibration Routine
1. he T-2100 Treadmill checks the functionality of the elevation limit switches and
the potentiometer by rising to the maximum height limit switch.
2. The T-2100 Treadmill sets the elevation parameters by descending to the
minimum height limit switch and then rising again to the maximum height limit
switch.
3. The T-2100 Treadmill descends to 10% grade and revolves the walking belt at 3.2
km/h (2 mph) for 30 seconds.
Burn-In Routine
1. The T-2100 Treadmill elevates to 25°.
2. The T-2100 Treadmill elevates to 0°.
3. The T-2100 Treadmill elevates to 10°.
4. The T-2100 Treadmill elevates to 12.5°.
5. The T-2100 Treadmill activates the walking belt. The walking belt goes from 0 to
21.7 km/h (13.5 mph) in increments of .8 km/h (0.5 mph) every 7.5 seconds.
6. After reaching 21.7 km/h (13.5 mph) the walking belt coasts to a stop and the
elevation lowers to 0°.
7. The burn-in routine repeats until power is removed from the T-2100 Treadmill.

4 Treadmill powered ON in Default Mode

When the T-2100 Treadmill is manufactured, or whenever the event log (flash memory)
is erased, the system date and time (SDT) is set to January 1, 2050, 0:00:00 and is then
stored into the flash memory. When power is applied to the T-2100 Treadmill, the
SDT is set to the saved SDT in the flash memory. While power is applied, the system
updates the SDT every second. When the power is lost, the updated SDT is saved back
to the flash memory. Therefore, the SDT is also the total power-up date and time,
which is always relative to the initial date and time of January 1, 2050, 0:00:00.
The SDT is used when logging events in two different modes, the Default Mode and
the Host Synchronized Mode.
Default Mode
When the T-2100 Treadmill power switch is turned on, the T-2100 Treadmill will always
initialize in the Default Mode. When an event is logged while the system is in this
mode, the event will be date and time stamped with the total power-up date and time.
Host Synchronized Mode
When the T-2100 Treadmill receives a valid date and time from a host device, such
as CASE v6 or the TDU, the T-2100 Treadmill will enter the Host Synchronized Mode.
The T-2100 Treadmill will stay in this mode until power is lost to the T-2100 Treadmill.
While in this mode, the system keeps track of the number of seconds that pass since
the date and time were received from the host. When an event is logged while the
system is in this mode, the event will be date and time stamped with a date and time
relative to what was sent by the host.
NOTE:
When the T-2100 Treadmill enters the Host Synchronized Mode, the Date and
Time Set event is stored with a date and time relative to the power-up date and
time. This event can be used to see how the following events with actual dates
and times chronologically fit in regards to the power-up date and time. In addition,
the date and time of the events can be used to match up with specific stress tests.

• When power is applied to the e-box, the LEDs will turn on very quickly in sequence,
starting at DS6 and going to DS1.
• If self-calibration has never been performed, the LEDs will stay on until the
self-calibration routine is performed.

 Troubleshooting

• If self-calibration has been performed, the LEDs will all turn off and then behave as
described in the table below.
• When power is removed from the e-box, all LEDs will turn on until the system has
completed the shutdown routines.

Arrow points to Status LEDs

LED Status Name Description

DS1 Elevation/Calibration This LED toggles on or off every 500ms if an
elevation error has occurred. When the elevation
error is cleared, the LED is off. During calibration
this LED will turn on, and when a limit switch is
reached the LED will flash rapidly for 100ms.
DS2 Drive/Burn-In This LED toggles on or off every 500ms if a drive
error has occurred. When the drive error is
cleared, the LED is off. Also, the LED will turn on
when burn-in is activated. During the burn-in
cycle, the LED will flash rapidly for 100ms every
time the belt speed increases.
DS3 Temperature This LED toggles on or off every 500ms if a
temperature warning occurs. The LED turns on
and stays on if a temperature error occurs. The
LED will be off when the internal temperature is
within the normal operating limits.
DS4 Communication This LED toggles on or off every 200ms while the
microcontroller is receiving commands over the
serial cable. If a command is not received after
500ms, the LED turns off. If a communication
timeout occurs (no communication after 4
seconds anytime the belt is enabled), the LED
turns on and stays on until a command is
received.

LED Status Name Description

DS5 Emergency Stop This LED toggles on and off every 500ms while
the system is monitoring the emergency stop
line. When the emergency stop button is pressed
or the ESTOP command is received, the LED
turns on and stays on until 20 seconds after the
emergency stop button is released.
DS6 Heartbeat This LED toggles on or off every second when
power is applied to the e-box. If power is applied
and there is no heartbeat:
1. Verify the ESTOP switch is correctly installed.
2. Check the fuses.
3. Check the power test points for +24v and
+5v.
If all the items above are working correctly, the
problem is not in the e-box.

Drive Controller Status LED

The drive controller fault status LED is located underneath the X6 connector on the
Drive Controller. Remove the shroud to view the LED.

Arrow points to the Drive Controller fault status LED

LED Status Description

Solid Green Drive enabled, normal operation.
Flashing Green Firmware download in progress.
Solid Red Drive is disabled, but no errors are latched.
Alternating Undervoltage warning (no AC power to the X1 connector), but no
Red/Green Flashing errors are latched.

LED is OFF Check the 24 VDC control circuit supply is connected correctly to
the X2 connector and is powered on.
Flashing Red Powerbase fault or error(s) present. The number of flashes
indicates which error has occurred. For example, to display error 3
(overcurrent trip), the LED flashes 3 times at 0.1 second intervals,
followed by a 0.5 second pause. The sequence is repeated
continuously.
If multiple errors occur at the same time, the lowest numbered
error code will be flashed. For example, a MicroFlex which has
tripped on both feedback error (code 5) and over-current error
(code 3) will flash error code 3. If the drive is already displaying an
error code when a new error with a lower code occurs, the drive will
start flashing the new code. Note that undervoltage trip does not
appear in the table because it is already indicated by the green/red
flashing state. If an undervoltage trip occurs in conjunction with
another error, the drive will flash the code of the additional error.
See the troubleshooting table below for the event / error code and
it’s corresponding red flashing LED.

Assembly/Disassembly

CAUTION:
Excessive tension on the drive belt is not necessary and will cause undue
stress on the motor shaft with the possibility of damaging the motor. Use
the illustration below as a guideline to properly adjust the tension of the
drive belt.
2. Fine tune the belt tension with the adjustment bolts so that you can push the
belt in approximately 1/2-inch on one side.

At the arrow, apply firm pressure to the belt midway between the pulleys,
distance must be approximately 1/2 inch between the top of the belt and the
top of the straight edge.
3. Tighten the 4 motor mounting bolts when the drive belt tension is correct and
adjust the drive belt tracking. See “Adjust Drive Belt Tracking” on page 98.

Adjust Drive Belt Tracking

The motor should be mounted at a slight angle so the belt meshes quietly with the
sprockets. The side with the drive belt should be slightly lower than the other side. See
the photo in “Adjust Drive Belt Tension” on page 97. Notice the drive belt adjustment
bolts, and how the left adjustment is slightly lower than the right adjustment.
Because of this design, the drive belt will always track to the left side of the top
sprocket (and this is normal) but should track down the middle of the lower sprocket. If
the drive belt tracks off center on the lower sprocket, adjust the position of the top

98 T-2100 Treadmill 2021403-031C

sprocket until the drive belt tracks in the center of the lower sprocket. When the drive
belt is tracking correctly, calibrate the T-2100 Treadmill. See “Self-Calibration” on
page 27.

Elevation Potentiometer Harness Assembly Replacement

1. Lower T-2100 Treadmill to 0% grade.
2. Turn the power switch off, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, and
remove the shroud.
3. Remove old potentiometer harness assembly. See “Location of Major
Sub-Assemblies” on page 87.
CAUTION:
DO NOT apply any pulling force to the potentiometer shaft. If this does occur, the
entire potentiometer harness will require replacement.
The potentiometer is susceptible to damage resulting from an axial pulling force
on the shaft (see figure).

Potentiometer Installation Procedure

1. Remove the nut and washer from the potentiometer.
2. Attach the mounting plate to the potentiometer and secure with the washer
and nut provided.
3. Attach the plastic coupling tube to the potentiometer to approximately 1/3rd
of the coupling tube length, such that there is sufficient length remaining to
attach to the elevation shaft. Do not press the tubing on any farther than it
needs to. We want to avoid pulling the tubing off the shaft if it is pressed on too
far (see caution statement).
4. While looking at the shaft end of the potentiometer, rotate the shaft CCW until it
stops. Then rotate the shaft 1–2 turns CW.
5. Attach the harness assembly to the unit by guiding the potentiometer (with
tube attached) through the clearance hole in the chassis tower. Make sure
the harness assembly is oriented such that the mounting plate holes are in
general alignment with the threaded stand-offs. This must be done in order to
maintain the 1–2 turns established in Step 4. Also be sure that the cables are
toward the rear of the T-2100 Treadmill. Attach the tube far enough on to the
