If the fitness equipment contains a peripheral device that utilizes the Csafe port, such as Cardio Theater or MYE, then additional equipment may be required.
Cardio Theater:
The Cardio Theater peripheral occupies the Csafe port on the equipment.
Peripheral Model ID: Cardio Theater XTV-9R
Effected Models:
- Any equipment model that has only 1 Csafe port.
- Any equipment that does not have 2 separate Csafe ports (ie, many Life Fitness models have 2 Csafe ports. These 2 ports are split off of a single Csafe line. This causes a data conflict when there are 2 devices requesting Csafe data).
Purpose for Splitter:
The Cardio Theater cable will allow for the Relay and the Cardio Theater device to occupy a single Csafe port.
In 2 port situations, the Cardio Theater Cable can be used to remove the data connection from the Cardio Theater unit while retaining the power connection.
The Cardio Theater XTV-9R does not require a data connection through Csafe.
Usage:
Single Port:
- Plug the single port side of the splitter into the Cardio Equipment.
- Plug the Relay into the port labeled "Relay". This port should have all pins intact.
- Plug the Cardio Theater cable into the port labeled "CTheater". This port will have the 4 and 5th pins removed.
- Mount splitter and tidy up excess cable using a cable tie.
Twin Port Equipment:
- Remove the Cardio Theater Cable from the occupied Csafe port.
- Plug single port side into Csafe port.
- Plug Cardio Theater cable into the port labeled "CTheater". This will have the 4th and 5th pins removed..
- Mount splitter and tidy up access cable using a cable tie.
Integrated Cardio Theater
Brands such as Precor have integrated Cardio Theater into their consoles. This integration does not use Csafe and therefor will not impact standard Ecofit installation.
MYE
The same splitter listed above can be used for MYE receivers excluding:
MYE Integrated Receiver (MC3R-98)
Because this device needs to be connected to both Data and Power it cannot share a Csafe port and will therefore only be compatible with equipment that can receive data over 2 ports.
