My Precor Elliptical EFX 546 Timer Stops After 7 Seconds, what is wrong?
The most common cause for the Timer to Stop After 7 Seconds on a Precor Elliptical is NO RPM Feedback.
Knowing the status of the unit from its last use as well as the last service or part replacement is a great place to start.
Check the connection of the speed sensor to the lower board. Reset connection if necessary.
Check the magnet. The magnet is located on the user's right crank arm on versions 1 and 2 and the user's left on version 3. The magnet passes the speed sensor with each revolution of the crank arm. The magnet should be installed so that its south pole is facing the speed sensor. You can check the magnet polarity with another magnet that has marked poles or a compass. The north pole of the marked magnet or the south facing needle should be attracted to the magnet. Correct magnet installtion if necessary.
You may also check the spacing of the speed sensor to the magnet. The spacing should be 1/8" to 1/4". Adjust if necessary.
My Precor Elliptical Shuts Down After 7 Seconds what is wrong
o Under PDF Documents Owner's Manual(English) (.pdf) (1.33 MB) shows very little about the indicator lights.
o Under HTML Documents User's Guide shows more information about the indicator lights but mentions nothing about the secondary error codes.
This is battery
related. On top of your unit is a battery pack with three colored led
lights. You can tell what is going on by looking at these. This
information is in your manual or here it is.
GREEN LED: All systems are normal. A solid LED light indicates
the batteries are fully charged. A flashing LED indicates the
batteries are being charged. NOTE: Batteries do not have to be fully
charged to operate the motor unit. YELLOW LED: The motor unit has
lost power and is operating off of the BBU. A solid LED with beep,
sounding approximately every 2 seconds, indicates the motor unit is
activating the door and is operating off of the BBU. A flashing LED
with beep, sounding every 30 seconds, indicates batteries are low.
Once the power is restored the BBU will recharge. This is indicated
by a flashing green LED. RED LED: An error has been detected and the
BBU will automatically shut off. The BBU will attempt to restart by
reconnecting to the batteries. If the error is still present it will
shut itself off again. This process will repeat every 5 minutes or
until the error has been resolved. This is used to prevent further
draining of the batteries. If a red LED remains on when the power is
restored, and is accompanied by a beep sounding every 30 seconds,
please call for service.
