Patented MasterTrack ® Belt Alignment System Trackmaster’s 22″ (56 cm) running belt is the widest in the industry, which provides confidence to the user. MasterTrack ® is a patented v-guide on the underside of the running belt, which matches grooves in the running deck and rollers. This prevents any lateral movement of the belt and eliminates belt alignment issues. In addition, the deck is mounted on shock absorbing isolators to minimize impact stress.
With more user-preferred features than other stress testing treadmills, the Trackmaster ® has a proven and dependable design including:

  • Smooth, quiet, zero-start, 4 HP (6 HP peak) hi-torque drive.
  • Smooth, quiet linear actuator elevation system.
  • Low-to-the floor, cushioned deck for patient comfort and safety.
  • 22″x 63” (56 cm x 160 cm) running belt and safety handrails.
  • Patented MasterTrack ® belt alignment system eliminates off-center running belts.
  • Exceptionally accurate, selfcalibrating speed and elevation.
  • Prominent emergency stop button and patient safety tether.
  • Minimum maintenance.
The TMX428CP can be operated in diagnostic mode (interfaced with a stress computer) or non-interfaced, independent mode. When the interface is active, only the emergency stop buttons on the controller are enabled. Once the computer program is closed, the controller reverts to full functionality. The controller can be operated manually and also has 5 preprogrammed stress protocols (Bruce, Gerkin, Naughton, Balke- M, Balke-F) and 5 preprogrammed fitness workouts. Additionally, there are 5 user defined, custom programs with 10 stages each.

In manual mode, the large, bright display shows Speed, Pace, Elapsed Time, Elevation, Distance, Calories, METS, Heart Rate and Target Heart Rate (user defined). Calculations are determined by ACSM formulas based on user weight, age and gender.

In pre-programmed or user programmable mode, the display will prompt the user to enter required data and will graphically display progress in the mode selected. If fitness or user defined modes are selected, elevation and speed can be adjusted when in use; the stress protocols cannot be adjusted.

Displays include:

  • Protocol/workout name
  • Stage number
  • Stage time countdown
  • Speed (mph/kph)
  • Pace (minutes/mile or km)
  • Distance (miles or km)
  • METS, total calories
  • Elevation
  • Body weight, age, gender input
  • Elapsed time

Message center:

  • Displays customized information
