9. CONFIGURING THE MACHINE

9.1. CONFIGURING PARAMETER DEFAULTS

Proceed as follows:

1. Shut the machine off.

2. Open the display and set all dip-switches to OFF.

3. Switch the machine on.

4. The machine turns on and loads the default parameters as though it were an Abdominal.

To change the configuration, you may use the procedure described in paragraphs 9.2. “Configuring

the technical parameters” and 9.3. “Configuring the user parameters”.

CAUTION: if the dip-switches are all OFF when the machine is turned on, the

configuration parameter value is read by the EPROM (default configuration), otherwise

it is read by the battery RAM (custom configuration). Thus in order to save changes to

the parameters, before shutting off the machine dip-switch 1 must be set to On.

9.2. CONFIGURING THE TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

Technical parameters are those that may be changed only by an authorized technician, since they

have to do with configuring the construction parameters of the equipment.

The procedure for configuring technical parameters may be activated, when the machine is in stand-

by, by pressing keys “1”, “3” and “4” simultaneously, and making sure that the dip-switches on the

CPU Board are set to configuration 1000. To access this procedure, you must enter the password

that protects against unauthorized access.

P A S S W O R D =

*

After entering the password “2501” and pressing “Enter” to continue, the machine begins to offer

the configurable parameters in sequence, showing the current value and possible alternatives. Press

the "Enter" key to move on to the next parameter, or the “Clear” key to quit the procedure.

Pressing the “Clear” key will abort the procedure, but any changes previously made will

remain in effect. However, you must reset or turn the machine off and back on again in

order for the changes to affect the current program session.

9.2.1. MACHINE CODE

This option allows you to set up the machine:

S E L E C T M A C H I N E

C O D E = X

The possible options are listed in the table below:

Machine Code Abdominal Crunch 3

Lower Back 6

Leg Extension 2

Leg Curl 5

Vertical Traction 1

Shoulder Press 7

Chest Press 0

Rowing Torso 8

Leg Press 4

Enter the code for the machine on which you are working, then press “Enter” to continue or “Clear”

to abort.

Once the selection is made, the machine displays the name of the tool corresponding to the selected

code. For instance, if code 7 is selected--corresponding to the Shoulder Press--the following will

appear on the LCD:

S E L E C T E D M A C H I N E :

S H O U L D E R P R E S S B I O

The choice of the type of machine alters the procedures described in paragraphs:

• 9.2. “Configuring the technical parameters”;

• 9.3. “Configuring the user parameters”;

• 9.5. “Displaying working parameters”;

• 9.6. “Editing the working parameters”.

as it disables those options that are not pertinent to the type of machine: seat

information will not appear for the Abdominal Crunch and Lower Back.

9.2.2. OFFSET ZERO SENSOR

This option allows you to set the SW offset of the zero sensor position. Correct positioning of the

zero sensor is essential in order to correctly select the weight stack plates as described in paragraph

8.1. “Adjusting the weight stack plate selection”:

O F F S E T > 1 0 0 0 U < 1 0 0 0 D

O F F S E T = X X X X


Page 9.3

Setting a value greater than 1000 moves the sensor upward, while a value of less than 1000 moves it

downward.

Enter the desired value, then press “Enter” to continue or “Clear” to abort. Since incorrectly setting

this parameter will cause errors in selecting the weight stack plates, any changes must be confirmed

twice via the following request:

C O N F I R M O F F S E T = X X X X

N = 1 Y = 2 = X

Select the desired option, then press “Enter” to continue or “Clear” to abort.

9.2.3. NUMBER OF PULSES FOR WEIGHT STACK SELECTION

This operation allows you to set the number of pulses produced by the encoder associated with the

weight stack motor to select all of the weight stack plates:

T O T A L W E I G H T S T A C K

P U L S E S = 5 1 0

This value depends on the type of motor used and the transmission ratios of the

mechanics used in order to make the selection. Thus, if not otherwise advised, maintain

this value set at 510.

Enter the value, then press “Enter” to continue or “Clear” to abort.

9.2.4. WEIGHT STACK MOTOR INERTIA

This option allows you to set the inertia of the motor and of the mechanical weight stack selection

system, expressed in the pulses produced by the encoder associated with the weight stack motor, so

that the selection system may be stopped at precisely the desired plate:

O F F S E T M O T O R W G T O F F

P U L S E S = 3

Physically, this parameter is the motor stop advance.

This value depends on the type of motor used and the mechanics used to make the

selection. This value is factory-set to 3, but it may be necessary to change it due to

changes in the selection system conditions.

Should you observe that the relays of the weight stack motor interface board sputter

when stopping the motor at the selection pin, after jumps caused by constant

adjustments to the motor position, then you must increase the value of this parameter.

Indeed, if the motor inertia is greater than the configured parameter, when stopping the


Page 9.4

motor goes beyond the position to be reached; the control drives it back and forth

several times until it is locked in the correct position, causing the relays to sputter.


9.2.5. WEIGHT STACK MOTOR SELECTION WINDOW

This option allows you to set the width of the selection window, expressed in pulses produced by

the encoder associated with the weight stack motor, corresponding to secure, silent plate selection.

O F F S E T W E I G H T L I F T E D

P U L S E S = 1 0

Indeed, if the user begins the exercise during weight selection, the desired result is for the weight

stack selection system to stop immediately in a position where plate selection is safe and silent.


selection. This value is factory-set to 10, but it may be necessary to change it due to

changes in the selection system conditions.


9.2.6. DISTANCE BETWEEN PLATES

This option allows you to set the distance, expressed in pulses produced by the encoder associated

with the weight stack motor, between plates in the weight stack. Data should be entered beginning

with:

P L A T E 0 - 1 D I S T A N C E

P U L S E S = X X

through:

P L A T E 2 2 - 2 3 D I S T A N C E

P U L S E S = X X

This value depends on the mechanics of the weight stack, in particular the presence of

spacers between plates. When using the machine, these spacers--especially those of the

last plates because of the weight of the entire weight stack--may vary in thickness,

thereby creating problems with selecting the weight stack correctly.

These distances are factory-set as indicated in the table below:

Plates Distance 0 – 1 24

1 – 2 24

2 – 3 23

3 – 4 24


Page 9.5

4 – 5 23

5 – 6 24

6 – 7 23

7 – 8 24

8 – 9 23

9 – 10 23

10 – 11 23

11 – 12 23

12 – 13 23

13 – 14 22

14 – 15 23

15 – 16 23

16 – 17 23

17 – 18 23

18 – 19 23

19 – 20 23

20 – 21 23

21 – 22 23

22 – 23 40

Enter the value, then press “Enter” to continue or “Clear” to abort. Move on to the next parameter

when all distances have been configured.

9.2.7. NUMBER OF PULSES FOR SEAT SELECTION

This parameter does not appear for Abdominal Crunch and Lower Back.

This option allows you to set the number of pulses produced by the encoder associated with the seat

motor to complete the entire seat stroke:

T O T A L R A N G E S E A T

P U L S E S = X X X

This value depends on the type of motor used and the transmission ratios of the

mechanics used in order to make the selection. Thus, if not otherwise advised, maintain

the value as specified in the table below:

Machine Pulses Leg Extension 355

Leg Curl 355

Vertical Traction 355

Leg Curl 2

Vertical Traction 2

Shoulder Press 2

Chest Press 2

Rowing Torso 2

Leg Press 20

It may be necessary to change it due to changes in the selection system conditions.

Should you observe that the relays of the seat motor interface board sputter when

stopping the motor, after jumps caused by constant adjustments to the motor position,

then you must increase the value of this parameter. Indeed, if the motor inertia is

greater than the configured parameter, when stopping the motor goes beyond the

position to be reached; the control drives it back and forth several times until it is locked

in the correct position, causing the relays to sputter.


9.2.11. MINIMUM ROM LENGTH

11. APPENDIX

11.1. CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS FOR EXERCISE ROM

ACQUISITION

The exercise ROM acquisition is based on an algorithm, developed by Technogym, in which the

following parameters may be configured to better adapt to the customer’s needs:

• ROM minimum length

This is the minimum stroke the weight stack must carry out in order to calculate the movement

as a repetition.

• Default ROM start

This is the length of the stroke that the weight stack must make from the resting area to enter the

exercise area, due to the mechanics of the individual machine. This movement is normally

carried out using the machine’s pre-start function.

• Default ROM length

This is the default amplitude of the ROM before acquiring the user’s actual ROM, and is used to

correctly fill the ROM LED arc on the display.

• %ROM first rep

This is the percentage of ROM, defined by the parameter “default ROM length”, which is

carried out using the machine’s pre-start function during the first repetition.

11.2. CALCULATING REPETITIONS

Defining a weight stack movement as a stroke between two direction reversals in succession, the

program will consider the movement to be a repetition if:

• Before ROM acquisition:

− it is greater than the value defined by the parameter “ROM minimum length”;

− it is greater than the value defined by the following formula:

( “default ROM length” / 100 ) * “%ROM first rep”

• After ROM acquisition:

− it is greater than the value defined by the parameter “ROM minimum length”;.

11.3. LOCATING THE SERIAL NUMBER

Each machine has 2 labels containing the serial number of the machine. One of these labels is

accessible externally, and is located on the seat support frame, the other is accessible by

disassembling the machine mats, and is located on the frame next to the machine’s power entry.
