Error 3 (E3) on Schwinn 240 recumbent bike. How
No speed/RPM reading, Console displays
"E3" error code
Check data cable integrity All wires in cable should be intact. If any
are cut or crimped, replace cable.
Check data cable connections/orientation, insure cable is connected securely and oriented properly. Small latch on connector should line up and snap into place.
Check magnet position (requires shroud removal) Magnet should be in place on flywheel. If no magnet is present, replace the flywheel or the entire base unit (if unable to replace flywheel).
Check RPM Sensor (requires shroud removal) RPM sensor should be aligned with magnet and connected to data cable. Realign sensor if necessary ( 1/8" clearance between sensor and flywheel) if still error 3 then check the sensor with a multi meter unplug sensor leads attach meter to sensor connectors. Have someone by hand rotate the pedal while you observe the multi meter opening and closing the internal sensor circuit if no change in meter readings then replace the sensor.
My Airdyne AD-6 crank arms are ~45* apart, not 180* Can they be adjusted?
It is possible that the crank arms are not seated correctly on the bottom bracket spindle, causing them to be misaligned. Try removing the crank arms and re-installing them, making sure that they are properly aligned with each other and with the bottom bracket spindle. If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with the bottom bracket itself, in which case it may need to be replaced. You can also check the manual for your Airdyne AD-6 to see if there are any specific instructions for adjusting the crank arms.
Schwinn elliptical 411. which wires go to the power inlet contacts.
It's important to ensure that you connect the pink and purple wires correctly to the power inlet contacts on your Schwinn Elliptical 411. Here is how you can determine which wires go to the contacts:
- Look for markings on the power inlet and wires: The power inlet may have markings or labels indicating which wire goes to which contact. The pink and purple wires may also have some markings or labels on them.
- Check the user manual: The user manual for the Schwinn Elliptical 411 may have a wiring diagram that shows the correct connections for the power inlet and wires.
- Use a multimeter: If you are not able to determine the correct connections using the first two methods, you can use a multimeter to test the wires. Set the multimeter to measure resistance and touch the probes to the ends of the pink and purple wires. If the multimeter reading is close to zero, it means the wires are connected correctly. If the reading is very high or infinity, it means the wires are not connected correctly.
Once you have determined which wire goes to which contact, you can solder them together to reattach the power inlet. Make sure the solder joints are strong and secure, and use heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to insulate the connections.
Error: tone when changing schwinn airdyne computer battery?
There could be a few reasons why you are hearing an error tone when replacing the batteries in your Schwinn Airdyne computer. Here are a few possibilities:
- The batteries may not be properly seated in the compartment. Make sure that the positive and negative terminals are facing the correct direction and that the batteries are fully seated in the compartment.
- The batteries may be dead or low on charge. If the batteries are old or have not been used for a long time, they may not have enough charge to power the computer. Try replacing the batteries with new ones to see if that resolves the issue.
- The computer may be damaged. If the error tone persists even after replacing the batteries with new ones, there may be an issue with the computer itself. In this case, it may be necessary to have the computer professionally repaired or replaced.
It's also worth noting that some models of the Schwinn Airdyne may have a "low battery" warning feature that sounds an alarm when the batteries are running low. In this case, the error tone may be a normal part of the bike's operation and not necessarily indicative of a problem.
I hope this information is helpful. Let me know if you have any further questions or need more assistance.
