Great overall; and a great tip
I bought this about 5 years ago.The one thing I hated immediately was the very short time-out if you stop your motion. If I am interrupted mid-workout and have to stop, my workout will be cancelled very fast = very annoying!!Fortunately there is a 120 VAC-12 DC power supply option which does 2 important things:1. The time-out will automatically change to the default setting of 2 minutes---much longer than the no-adapter time-out period of only 30 seconds. (The time-out period is programmable from 1 to 120 seconds.)2. The display stays on all the time = great; no need to start your motion to turn the display on, and no need to keep having motion while programming the workout.The bad news is Precor sells (or used to sell) the option power adapter for $400. 2 Precor support guys told me it isn't worth paying $400 for their power adapter. I agree! It is possible to find the power supply much cheaper ($15 on Amazon) but I already had that actual power supply, but without the correct connector pin.My solution: Take off the lower right panel to access the lower circuit board. Find the power connector in the upper left corner. Get a cheap 120 VAC to 12 VDC power supply. (Precor says it is 3 amps; I used a 4 amp.)I could not locate the strange connector needed to attached to my power supply wires so I improvised by attaching wire connectors to the 2 pins on the circuit board and then attaching the wires from the power supply to the wire connectors. I was not certain which pin was positive and which pin was negative. I took a chance and attached the positive wire to the right pin on the circuit board connector that is shaped like the letter D. And the negative wire to the left pin shaped like the letter O. See photo.I plugged it all in and----whalaaa! Instantly lit up the console and it all works great.I would have liked a longer time-out option---more than 2 minutes, but 2 minutes is a whole lot better than the extremely short time-out period, followed by the total turn off, without the optional power supply.Much happier camper now.One more tip: if you do not use the machine for a long time, then the battery can go bad. (This fact was confirmed by Precor tech support, and this happened to me.) When I tried to use the machine after several months not using it, there were 2 problems:1. The display turned off *immediately* when motion was stopped2. I got Error 40 every time I tried to adjust the step height---it did not work.I first thought the machine was broken.I bought a new battery and both problems went away.Then added the improvised, almost zero cost power adapter and now I am *much* happier with my Precor AMT 835.
