Solution to "mirror" image problem on Touch Screen 700 WTV models

The cause of the inverted "mirror" images displayed on WTV Touch screen models has been

identified as oxidation of the contacts on the connector of the LCD controller board.

More specifically, as the figure below shows, the controller board was fixed to the back of the

LCD using silicone, which in certain cases resulted in oxidation of the connector contacts over

time, producing the above described effect.

To correct the problem, remove all the white silicone from the connectors and clean the

contacts using an ordinary oxidation inhibitor for electronic circuits, before reconnecting the

board.

A small amount of silicone can be used to make the connection more secure,

but should be carefully applied on the side of the circuit board, ensuring it

does not go on the connector.

New SW version for 500i and 500iSP ARM

It is version 50.9.2, available in the 9 standard languages.

The main changes introduced with this version are:

1. Added a function for saving the "Average Watts" value to TGS key in Custom or Manual

training sessions.

2. Added a new message to the custom group of those displayed during the stand-by state:

“Want to know more about wellness? www.technogym.com”;

3. Fixed the bug which, when a Custom interval training session was added to a key after

having already used that same key to perform another session on the same machine (for

example a GOAL mode training session), caused the values of each Custom interval step to

overwrite the data saved for the preceding session.

WHEN TO UPGRADE ALREADY INSTALLED MACHINES: if any of the

above problems are observed.

New SW version for 700i and 700iSP ARM

It is version 50.7.4, available in the 9 standard languages.

The main changes introduced with this version are:

1. Fixed the bug which, when a Custom interval training session was added to a key after

having already used that same key to perform another session on the same machine (for

example a GOAL mode training session), caused the values of each Custom interval step to

overwrite the data saved for the preceding session.

2. Corrected the bug which, following entry of the data for a CPR exercise, caused the "Put on chest strap" message to continue scrolling on the display without showing the heart rate

value. At the start of a CPR exercise, if the machine failed to detect the user's heart rate it

would in fact display the "Put on chest strap" message, but if the exercise was

subsequently started upon receiving the signal, the message would continue to scroll

without however showing the value of the heart rate.

WHEN TO UPGRADE ALREADY INSTALLED MACHINES: if any of the

above problems are observed.

New SW version for 700 WTV touch screen NCB

It is version 9.93.9, available in the 10 standard languages.

The main modification in this version is the introduction of a “Screen saver” mode, activated

after the machine has remained idle for a pre-established time without any key being pressed,

consisting of either a full-screen display of the scrolling message “Touch the display to start” in

the language configured via the user menu, or alternatively of a completely blank screen.

• If the language setting is US English, the scrolling message is shown in English and

Spanish.

• If the machine is programmed in the special "multi-language" mode for hotel use, the

message is shown in all the languages.

To exit the “Screen saver” mode, simply touch the display or insert a TGS key. The machine

will automatically revert to the display mode it was in prior to activation of the screen saver.

For the purposes of this new operating mode, two new items have been added to the technical

menu:

a. Screen saver: The screen saver can be configured for either a “Message” or

“Darkness”; choosing the former will activate a scrolling message in full-

screen TV mode, while the latter will display a completely dark screen.

The default setting is “Message”.

b. Waiting time: It is possible to configure the amount of time the machine will wait before

activating the screen saver.

The default setting is 10 min.

ATTENTION Do not change the default setting.

Fixing of pulley on front roller

To prevent the screws securing the pulley on the drive roller from working loose, resulting in

noise and irregular movement, small Belleville washers, indicated with the number 1 in the

figure below, have now been introduced in place of the preceding washers. The Belleville

washers must be used in pairs on each of the 3 fixing screws, assembling them as shown in

the box in the figure.

The order codes for the components indicated in the figure are given in the table below. The

code for ordering the complete drive roller assembly is unchanged, and indicated in the

exploded drawings.

Ref. CODE DESCRIPTION Qty.

1 0K000497AA Belleville washer 6

2 0Z104 Screw M6x20 3

3 0U000086AC Pulley 1

Do not over-tighten the pulley fixing screws; it is sufficient to use a torque

wrench setting of 5 Nm, after applying a drop of Loctite thread compound to

each screw.

Check the tightness of the screws after any maintenance actions, and check

the state of wear of the pulleys, replacing them when necessary.

New belt

There is a new belt available that differs from the preceding ones as follows:

• The "Wellness in motion" logo is laser printed rather than screen printed.

• The seam has been modified for improved durability.

The order code of the new belt is 0K000221AB.

2. Fixed the bug which, when a Custom interval training session was added to a key after

having already used that same key to perform another session on the same machine (for

example a GOAL mode training session), caused the values of each Custom interval step to

overwrite the data saved for the preceding session.

WHEN TO UPGRADE ALREADY INSTALLED MACHINES: if any of the

above problems are observed.

New SW version for 700 and 900 ARM

It is version 50.7.4, available in the 9 standard languages.

The principal modification in this version is correction of the bug which, if a Custom interval

training session was added to a key after having already used that same key to perform

another session on the same machine (for example a GOAL mode training session), caused the

values of each Custom interval step to overwrite the data saved for the preceding session.

WHEN TO UPGRADE ALREADY INSTALLED MACHINES: if any of the

above problems are observed.

Image persistence on LCD: "ghost" image

Corrected the problem of image persistence on the LCD display, which caused the images of

certain keys of the virtual keyboard to remain "impressed" on the LCD even when in TV mode.

This phenomenon, also known as "ghost image", occurred whenever the display was left

showing a fixed image for a few hours.

To prevent the problem from recurring, install SW version 10.93.9 or higher for Wellness TV

Touch Screen NCB machines, and SW version 20.93.9 or higher for Wellness TV Touch Screen

UB machines, which incorporate a screen saver function.

New SW version for 700 and 900 WTV touch screen NCB

It is version 10.93.9, available in the 10 standard languages.

The main modification in this version is the introduction of a “Screen saver” mode, activated

after the machine has remained idle for a pre-established time without any key being pressed,

consisting of either a full-screen display of the scrolling message “Touch the display to start” in

the language configured via the user menu, or alternatively of a completely blank screen.

• If the language setting is US English, the scrolling message is shown in English and

Spanish.

• If the machine is programmed in the special "multi-language" mode for hotel use, the

message is shown in all the languages.

To exit the “Screen saver” mode, simply touch the display or insert a TGS key. The machine

will automatically revert to the display mode it was in prior to activation of the screen saver.

Solution to "mirror" image problem on Touch Screen 700 WTV models

The cause of the inverted "mirror" images displayed on WTV Touch screen models has been

identified as oxidation of the contacts on the connector of the LCD controller board.

More specifically, as the figure below shows, the controller board was fixed to the back of the

LCD using silicone, which in certain cases resulted in oxidation of the connector contacts over

time, producing the above described effect.

To correct the problem, remove all the white silicone from the connectors and clean the

contacts using an ordinary oxidation inhibitor for electronic circuits, before reconnecting the

board.

A small amount of silicone can be used to make the connection more secure,

but should be carefully applied on the side of the circuit board, ensuring it

does not go on the connector.

New 65W brake boards for 500i, 700i and 700iE WTV models

A new brake interface board has been introduced on the 500i, 700i and 700iE mains-

powered machine models (not usable on self-powered machines). The new board has

been re-engineered to optimize the layout of the connectors and is interchangeable with the

preceding one.

It uses SW version 127 and braking table 104, both available for download from the

Technogym Direct website.

This board can be obtained with order code W0004475AB, and is supplied pre-programmed.

2. Corrected the bug which, following entry of the data for a CPR exercise, caused the "Put on chest strap" message to continue scrolling on the display without showing the heart rate

value. At the start of a CPR exercise, if the machine failed to detect the user's heart rate it

would in fact display the "Put on chest strap" message, but if the exercise was

subsequently started upon receiving the signal, the message would continue to scroll

without however showing the value of the heart rate.

New primary shaft

Following a re-engineering of the product, the entire primary shaft assembly has been

modified to adapt it to the new machine configuration. The new assembly does not alter the

operating principle in any way, except for a different spacing between the holes on the bridge

bearings mounted externally on the shaft, used for fixing the assembly on the frame, which

makes it non-interchangeable with the preceding solution.

For this reason, the exploded drawings of the machine include both solutions, as a function of

the machine serial number, and all the components of the old assembly will continue to be

available as replacement parts.

New levers

Two new structural metal levers have been developed to replace the precision-cast levers used

previously.

The new levers differ principally in their central portion, which uses a different method for

fixing the plate with stud bolts that connects to the tie rods. More specifically, as illustrated in

the figure below, the old levers had two bearings mounted on the central portion, upon which

the pin fixed to the stud bolt plate rotated, whereas the new levers have a pin fixed directly to

the central portion and the bearings are assembled on a "triangular" plate (see figure below).

The new levers are not completely interchangeable with the old ones due to the following:

• It is not possible to replace only one of the two levers: both must be replaced to obtain

uniformity between the two solutions.

• Replacing the levers also requires replacing the two plates with stud bolts, used for

connection of the various tie rods, and illustrated in the figure below.

• The method for fixing the rear shock absorber has been changed, and now uses a through

screw and a corresponding self-locking nut, as illustrated below.

Misalignment between counter-pulley and pivoting pulleys:

additional information

Following up on the information given in the last TN, concerning the solution to the belt

dragging against the counter-pulleys "A" indicated in the figure below, please note the

following additional elements for diagnosing and correctly resolving this particular problem.

These are:

• Observe the edges of the belt in the stretch between the pulley "A" and the end that is

fixed to the front cam. In an advanced state of wear, the dragging edge will appear

deteriorated, with dusty residues of wear material also visible in any case.

• Observe whether the belt oscillates on the cogged gear during operation. Oscillation is a

clear indicator that pulleys "A" and "B" are misaligned.

After completing the procedure for correcting the problem, check once again that the belt

does NOT OSCILLATE on the cogged pulley.

In the event that the pulley "A" is replaced by one with off-centre bearing,

check that the new pulley does not drag against the frame.

New SW version for brake board

The new SW version 167 is now available which implements some improvement to the

management of the machine, and can be used on all models of the board currently on the

market.

New SW version for 700i and 700iSP ARM

It is version 50.10.0, available in the 9 standard languages.

The main changes introduced with this version are:

1. Fixed the bug which, when a Custom interval training session was added to a key after

having already used that same key to perform another session on the same machine (for

example a GOAL mode training session), caused the values of each Custom interval step to

overwrite the data saved for the preceding session.

2. Corrected the bug which, following entry of the data for a CPR exercise, caused the "Put on chest strap" message to continue scrolling on the display without showing the heart rate

value. At the start of a CPR exercise, if the machine failed to detect the user's heart rate it

would in fact display the "Put on chest strap" message, but if the exercise was

subsequently started upon receiving the signal, the message would continue to scroll

without however showing the value of the heart rate.

3. Fixed the bug which, if the machine was powered on with the TGS key inserted, caused the

display of the "Lubricate Chains" message to be prematurely interrupted, and the exercise

to start without displaying the SPM or Watts.

WHEN TO UPGRADE ALREADY INSTALLED MACHINES: if any of the

above problems are observed.

New SW version for 700 WTV touch screen NCB

It is version 9.93.9, available in the 10 standard languages.

The main modification in this version is the introduction of a “Screen saver” mode, activated

after the machine has remained idle for a pre-established time without any key being pressed,

consisting of either a full-screen display of the scrolling message “Touch the display to start” in

the language configured via the user menu, or alternatively of a completely blank screen.

• If the language setting is US English, the scrolling message is shown in English and

Spanish.

• If the machine is programmed in the special "multi-language" mode for hotel use, the

message is shown in all the languages.

To exit the “Screen saver” mode, simply touch the display or insert a TGS key. The machine

will automatically revert to the display mode it was in prior to activation of the screen saver.

For the purposes of this new operating mode, two new items have been added to the technical

menu:

New levers for Delts handles

The levers used on the arms of the Delts machine, for adjustment of the easy start position,

are now made from a different material to eliminate problems with rusting.

The codes for ordering the new levers are 0N000171AC for the left lever and 0N000190AC

for the right lever.

The SN of the first machine incorporating this modification is: M99306000083.

New pulleys for Abductor / Adductor levers

The new models of pulleys used on the Abductor / Adductor levers are now available.

The new components are fully interchangeable with the old ones, but constructed from a

stronger material to prevent them breaking when the machine is used at full load.

The order codes for the pulleys have been changed as indicated in the table below:

Prevention of cable slippage on Pectoral machine

A new solution has been incorporated into the machine to better prevent cable slippage from

the cams. The new solution, illustrated in the figure below, can also be applied to already-

installed machines by ordering and installing the upgrade kit with code R0004527AA.

If the weight stack plates are not selectable...

We have noticed that difficulty in selecting the weight stack plates is often caused by a

misalignment between the holes on the weight stack cross and those on the plates themselves,

and can be easily corrected using 0G000124 rubber rings, to be placed between the plates

and the spacer bushings, as shown in the figure below.

Product upgrades

Some modifications have been made to the pistons used on the machines, with a view to

significantly improving both functionality during exercise and reliability.

The principal differences, compared with the preceding solution are:

• Adoption on all the machines of a new piston, which can be distinguished from the old

model by the presence of a new adjusting ring that has only 5 positions (-2 to 0 to +2)

rather than the preceding 9.

• The new adjusting ring is constructed so that it cannot be rotated outside of the pre-

established positions, as this could cause the jamming of the ring.

• A different factory setting of the piston used on the ABODMINAL/BACK, which reduces by

50% the resistance exerted against the contraction movement, compared with the

preceding setting. The setting for resistance to the extension movement is instead

unchanged.

• A different factory setting of the piston used on the ADDUCTOR/ABDUCTOR, which

increases by 50% the resistance exerted against both the contraction and extension

movements.

The table below details the codes for the new pistons for all the various machines.

Malfunctioning with appearance of a blue screen

The machine malfunctions resulting in a complete lockout condition with the appearance of a

blue screen have been attributed to problems of various types, connected with both the HW

components and the SW management.

If the above situation occurs, it is necessary to replace the entire display assembly by ordering

code R0002950AA.

ATTENTION: In the event that the entire assembly is replaced, please contact the

Technogym call center [email protected] to arrange for the

return of the damaged display.

Solution to "mirror" image problem

The cause of the inverted "mirror" images has been identified as oxidation of the contacts on

the connector of the LCD controller board.

More specifically, as the figure below shows, the controller board was fixed to the back of the

LCD using silicone, which in certain cases resulted in oxidation of the connector contacts over

time, producing the above described effect.

To correct the problem, remove all the white silicone from the connectors and clean the

contacts using an ordinary oxidation inhibitor for electronic circuits, before reconnecting the

board.

A small amount of silicone can be used to make the connection more secure,

but should be carefully applied on the side of the circuit board, ensuring it

does not go on the connector.
