Error
24 - Reduce Speed Requested, Speed is not Reducing
Description
Error 24 indicates that the the
speed control system has instructed the treadmill to slow down
and the response from the speed
sensing system indicates that the treadmill has not slowed.
This error will typically occur when
the actual operating speed is greater than the speed being
requested under either manual or
program control.
Possible
Causes
1. The treadmill user (especially a
heavier user) is operating the treadmill at a relatively a low
speed and a high incline. Some
treadmills, under the above conditions, will operate at a
speed slightly higher than the
selected speed because of the combination of very low running
bed and running belt friction and
the downward force of the users weight.
2. The lower PCA is bad.
Possible
Remedies
1. The user must be informed that
this error can occur under low speed, high incline conditions.
They must also be aware that the
treadmill speed control system must test for an over speed
condition. The test and resulting
error condition is for their protection.
2. The typical lower PCA failure
mode producing an error 24, causes the drive motor to start
immediately upon power up (without a
manual or program drive motor start request). Replace
the lower
PCA.
