Precor Error Code 60, 61 Auto Stop Not Working/Present

Jan 23, 2022

Applies to These errors are associated with the TRM10(TRM800 version 1 treadmills mfg. dates 2010 thru 2014.) Treadmill. The Auto Stop feature was not on the TRM as a standard feature until 12/28/2010 but may have shipped with a P80 console before 12/28/2010. These errors will only be present when the Auto Stop function is Enabled in the Club Settings/Workout Limits. When the Auto Stop function is Disabled, the input to the console is ignored in the software, and any failures or broken cables/connection won’t be reported.

Note: These errors will not be present if the magnet on the deck is missing or misaligned. These errors only indicate an electrical problem with the sensor. Failing to move or correctly align/gap the magnet when the deck is flipped or moved to a new deck when a previously flipped deck is replaced will cause the Auto Stop function to engage after 90 seconds of use.

Issue symptoms

Error 60 indicates the Auto Stop feature has stopped functioning during a workout. If the error is detected while a workout is in progress, the treadmill will function normally until the workout has ended. At the end of the workout, the error will lock out the next exerciser, displaying "Please use another treadmill.” The most likely cause of Error 60 is a poor or missing connection between the Auto Stop sensor and the cable connecting the sensor to the console. A damaged or faulty Auto Stop sensor may also cause this problem. Least likely is a failure in the upper PCA.

Error 61 indicates the Auto Stop sensor is not detected. If the error is detected the exerciser will be locked out, displaying "Please use another treadmill.” The most likely cause of Error 61 is a broken or disconnected cable between the sensor and the console. Less likely is a missing or faulty sensor.

Troubleshooting steps:

1. 1. Check that the Auto Stop cable connectors are secured at the sensor and console.
2. 2. Visually verify the Auto Stop hardware components are installed onto the treadmill frame.
3. 3. Visually inspect the Auto Stop sensor for physical damage and correct installation. Replace if appropriate.
4. 4. Access the diagnostic system tests, and select the Auto Stop test. If the feature is enabled, the P8X/60 test will count the number of times the magnet crosses the sensor. The LED consoles will display "USER DETECTED" if an exerciser is detected or "NO USER DETECTED" if not.
5. 5. If the test fails, disconnect the Auto Stop cable from the Auto Stop sensor and check for 5 VDC between the red and black wire. If 5 VDC is present, replace the Auto Stop sensor.
6. 6. If there is no voltage at the sensor, check for 5 VDC at the console. Disconnect the Auto Stop cable from the console and measure the voltage from the console.
   1. a. If 5 VDC is not present, replace the console.
   2. b. If 5 VDC is present, replace the Auto Stop cable.
