Introduction
Cardiac Stress medical treadmills are designed specifically for stress test
applications. The treadmills are not intended to operate independently or
with a treadmill controller. They are designed for use in conjunction with
the stress family of exercise test devices (referred to in this manual as the
stress monitor).
Four stress treadmill models are available: the TM55/TM65 used with the
Quinton Q-Stress Cardiac Stress system and the Burdick Quest Exercise
Stress system, and the ST55/ST65 used with other Quinton stress systems
such as the Q-4500 and the Q710.
The cardiac stress treadmill comes in two voltage ranges: 100-120 VAC
(low voltage unit) and 200-230 VAC (high voltage unit). High voltage
units have a detachable power cord. An emergency stop button is standard
on all CE-marked units and optional on non-CE-marked units.

Operation
The treadmill must be connected to the stress monitor. Except for the
emergency stop button, all commands, including walking belt power,
speed, grade, and protocol, are entered from the stress monitor. All patient
data appears on the stress monitor screen.

Power
The treadmill must be plugged into a dedicated power outlet. The
treadmill circuit breaker, located on the front of the treadmill hood, must
be set to ON and the stress monitor power must be on for the treadmill to
operate.
WARNING! Always turn off the circuit breaker on the treadmill before
connecting to or disconnecting from the power source.

Emergency Stop Button

The treadmill may have an emergency stop button located on the front
handrail: the button is optional on non-CE-marked units. When pressed,
the button cuts power to both the belt motor and the grade motor. The stop
button is intended only for an emergency situation.

Indicators
There are no visual indicators on the treadmill. All patient responses and
warnings appear on the stress monitor screen.

Installation
Complete treadmill installation procedures, including site requirements,
are given in Appendix C of the Cardiac Stress Treadmill User Guide (P/N
042101-00x).

Theory of Operation

Overview
The treadmill consists of two subassemblies: the headframe and the deck
and roller assembly. The stress monitor, which is attached by cable to the
treadmill, functions as the user interface.
The user enters all treadmill commands through the stress monitor system
with the information appearing on the monitor’s display. The stress
system processes the information and sends commands to the headframe
assembly.

Headframe Assembly
The headframe assembly receives speed and grade commands from the
stress monitor. The assembly includes the drive and grade systems and the
electronics that drive these systems. A three-phase AC motor drives the
walking belt. A DC motor moves the front of the treadmill up or down to
simulate hills. The drive motor supplies torque and speed to the drive
pulley through a drive belt.

Deck and Roller Assembly

The deck and roller assembly is attached to the headframe and supports
the rear of the treadmill. It provides the platform for the walking belt. The
drive belt supplies torque to the walking belt through the drive roller
pulley.

Stress Monitor to Treadmill Interface

The TM treadmill communicates with the stress monitor through a
standard RS232 interface. The ST treadmill communicates with the stress
monitor through an RS422 interface.

Cardiac Stress Treadmills Service Manual Theory of Operation 2-1

Headframe Assembly
The headframe assembly consists of the following components:
• Input power module
• Drive board assembly
• Transformer assembly
• Drive motor assembly
• Grade motor assembly
• Grade system consisting of a pinion shaft, rack gears, feedback
potentiometer, and limit switches.

Input Power Module

The input power module receives line power from the power outlet. All
treadmills sold for use in the United States and Canada use 115 or 230
VAC power. All units sold for use in Europe use 230 VAC power. The
power input module also has a connector for use with the emergency stop
switch. The emergency stop switch is an optional item on non-CE-marked
units but is standard on units sold with the CE mark.

Drive Board
The drive board on the AC Drive Module uses line power to develop 300
VDC that is then used to create three-phase power for the drive motor
assembly. The frequency of the three-phase signal sent to the drive motor
determines the drive motor rotational speed. The motor current draw is a
function of the torque load placed on the motor through the deck
assembly by the user.
The drive board on the AC Drive Module also uses AC power to generate
a half wave rectified signal used to drive the grade motor. Two solid state
relays drive the grade motor: one in the direction of increasing grade, the
other in the direction of decreasing grade.

Transformer Assembly
The transformer provides electrical isolation between the primary and
secondary voltages. It also provides stepped down voltages for use with
the control electronics.

Drive Motor Assembly

The drive motor, which is driven by the drive board, delivers torque and
speed to the front roller of the treadmill through a poly-V drive belt and a
set of appropriate speed reduction pulleys. A flywheel, integral to the
motor poly-V pulley, is used to average the pulsing runner loads.

Grade Motor Assembly and System

The grade motor drives the grade pinion shaft using a chain and a set of
speed reduction sprockets. The grade pinion shaft in turn drives a set of
rack gears, which raise and lower the front of the treadmill.

Cardiac Stress Treadmills Service Manual Theory of Operation 2-2

 A grade potentiometer senses the rack gear movement for the grade
system feedback. Limit switches limit the travel of the rack gears in the
event of a potentiometer failure or incorrect calibration.

Deck and Roller Assembly

The deck and roller assembly provides the running surface for the user.
This surface consists of a movable and flexible walking belt supported by
a semi-rigid platform. This platform is supported by a steel-welded frame.
A poly-V drive belt, coupled through a pulley to the drive motor, drives
the front roller. The front roller uses friction to drive the walking belt. A
rear roller, acting as an idler pulley, tensions the walking belt. Both rollers
are mounted to the steel support structure.

3-2 Troubleshooting Cardiac Stress Treadmills Service Manual

Electronic Problems
Error Codes
Error codes provide the first means of treadmill diagnostics. The treadmill
performs an electronic self-test each time that it is powered up. If a
problem is detected during either power-up or operation, an error code
appears on the stress monitor. Note the code recorded by the owner and
reference the table of error codes in the service manual for your stress
monitor.
If you replace a faulty PCB Assembly, return it to the factory and note the
error code.

Mechanical Problems
Mechanical problems can include noise and vibration caused by loose or
worn parts. Use the following tables to diagnose mechanical failures.

Walking belt
Problem Action
Walking belt slipping. Adjust walking belt tension
(see “Belt Tension” on page 4-23).

because the roller speeds change as the belt speed changes.
**Use a mechanical stethoscope or a piece of hose about two feet long, to
isolate bearing problems. Hold one end of the hose near the suspected
bearing and the other end near your ear. Compare several bearings to
determine which is the faulty one.

Repair/Replacement and Calibration
The procedures that follow apply to the following treadmills: ST55,
ST65, TM55, and TM65. Field repair and replacement is to the modular
level. No procedures are included for component-level repair.

Electrical Shock
Warning! High voltage is present beneath the treadmill hood while
the treadmill is connected to a power source. Residual high
voltages remain for a few minutes after the plug is
removed.
To prevent high-voltage electrical shock:
— Turn off the treadmill circuit breaker, then unplug the
treadmill and stress monitor power cords every time you
remove the hood.
— Before working on or around any electrical or
mechanical component under the hood, wait at least two
minutes from the time you unplug the power cord and be
sure the red LEDs on the drive board on the AC Drive
Module are off.
The power control on the stress monitor does not turn off
electrical current to the treadmill.
Be sure treadmill area is free of liquid spills before
removing hood.

Burns
Warning! Allow pulleys, chain, motor, and other treadmill parts to
cool sufficiently before touching them.
Unplug the treadmill immediately if signs of overheating
occur.

Cardiac Stress Treadmills Service Manual Repair/Replacement and Calibration 4-1

Mechanical Hazards
Warning! Be sure the treadmill power cord is unplugged before
working with chains, rack gear, belt, and pulleys.
Secure long hair, loose clothing, and jewelry before
working near the treadmill, particularly near walking
surface and rotating parts.
Before running the treadmill, check for worn parts which
could break loose during service or operation.
Keep fingers away from rotating parts.
To avoid eye contaminants, clean away dust and debris
from moving parts before servicing.

Grade limit switches prevent the treadmill from exceeding the preset
maximum grade. When a roller on the limit switch reaches a trigger in
each rack gear, a lever moves inward, opening the switch and stopping the
grade motor. Two grade limit switches, one on each side of the treadmill,
are mounted on brackets attached to the front of the headframe.
♦ Grade limit switch settings are preset at the factory and normally do not
require adjustment. They should be adjusted if the rack gear is changed.
1. Remove the treadmill hood and power as described in “Removing the
Treadmill Hood” on page 4-3.
2. Loosen, but do not remove, the two Phillips screws that secure each
grade limit switch to its bracket.
3. Pivot the switch on the upper screw towards, then away from, the
rack gear. You should hear a click as the switch opens or closes.
4. Set the switch wheel on a flat part of the rack gear. Pivot the switch
towards the rack gear just until it clicks, then tighten both screws.
5. If required, repeat steps 2-4 for the other grade limit switch.
6. If no other service is required, replace the treadmill hood as described
