Trouble-Shooting
How the Patented ProSpot System works:
Starting from the Computer Brain, a signal is sent from the left & right side, thru the L & R Grey Base
Frame Wire Harness (white lead), to the Spiral Cord Harness (brown lead), to the Slider Block Cable
Knuckle connector, to inside Barbell Cable to the Sensor on the Barbell. When skin contacts is made
with Barbell Sensors, the signals return to the Computer Brain, at which a 12-volt charge is sent via the
wire harness's (red & black leads), to the solenoids, to release the spring loaded Slider Block Locking
Pins when the Barbell is lifted, allowing the Barbell to move up and down. When skin contact with
Barbell Sensor is broken by either hand, the Computer Brain reads this and stops the 12-volt charge to
the solenoids, at which time, the spring loaded Locking Pins instantaneously engages the hole on the
Guide Post and locks the Barbell from any downward movement.
