Power requirements
Note
The leakage current of EGYM machines is < 3.5 mA (all regions).
Caution
* The M20 Squat can operate with different voltage configurations. The higher voltage configuration allows higher training weights. Before installing the machine with a high voltage outlet, check your machine’s configuration. The M20 voltage configuration may only be changed by an EGYM service technician.
Overcurrent Protection Devices (OCPD)
Caution
Machines per OCPD: the sum of rated currents must not exceed the nominal rating of your OCPD (overcurrent protection device).
Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCB)
Note
A Type B+ RCCB is not recommended; the high frequency sensitivity can trip the circuit breaker unnecessarily.
RCCB type / rating | Machines per leakage current detector (RCCB / GFCI) | |
|---|---|---|
Central Europe | Type A (AC and pulsing current- sensitive) RCCB (I∆N = 30mA) | Max. 4 Smart Strength machines (incl. M9) per RCCB (I∆n = 30mA) |

EGYM machines need reliable Internet access and should not share limited bandwidth with high-usage systems, such as guest Wi-Fi or streaming services. A separate Internet connection for EGYM machines is recommended, but not required.
Ensure sufficient bandwidth:
5 Mbit/s (download) per EGYM machine,
1 Mbit/s (upload) per EGYM machine, and
1-2 Mbit/s (download) per gym member, if movie or music streaming services are provided.
Note
Contact your internet service provider as soon as possible. An active internet connection is required for installation.
Activate a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
Set DHCP lease time to a maximum of 12 hours.
Exclude IP address ranges 10.9.x.x and 10.11.x.x in the DHCP server.
Ensure the IP address pool is large enough for 2x the number of planned machines (>100 recommended).
Note
EGYM recommends using a LAN connection.
Make sure there is a LAN port at each machine location, or
Route a CAT6 LAN cable to each machine with 3 m (10ft) excess length.
Note
Wi-Fi configuration is only available if you use an EGYM router. An EGYM technician can assist with the EGYM router installation.
Warning
Do not press factory reset button on the EGYM router; this disconnects machines from the network and removes configurations.
Connect the router to a designated power outlet.
Connect the router to the network via LAN cable.
Router position:
1.5 meters (5 ft) above the floor, not on the ground.
Within 15 meters (50 ft) of the machines, ideally with direct line of sight.
Away from sources of interference, such as as other Wi-Fi equipment, DECT telephones, loudspeakers, Bluetooth devices, microwaves, or electrical cardio equipment.
Away from large metallic items such as heaters or iron training weights.
Note
The transmission quality is strongly dependent on the location of the router.
EGYM recommends approximately 15 machines within a 15 m (50 ft) radius around the router. For EGYM machines more than 15 meters (50 ft) from the router, request a wireless access point and connect it to the EGYM router.
Incorrectly configured Firewalls could cause issues with the EGYM machines. Allow exceptions for the IP addresses and ports in the following table.

Login method
To log in to EGYM equipment, members need a user account (EGYM ID). To protect data privacy, each member should have their own account.
EGYM Series 3 machines support RFID login, NFC login, or both. The machines can display the supported login media and login guidance. The supported login media available in your gym can be configured in the EGYM Business Suite.
RFID chip (wristband or card)
We recommend using EGYM branded RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) wristbands.
RFID chips not provided by EGYM (e.g. MIFARE or LEGIC chips) must be verified by EGYM Order Management. Send 2 sample RFID chips to EGYM SE with a copy of the manufacturer data sheet at least 4 weeks before implementation.
EGYM machines support RFID login using the MIFARE standard. For LEGIC compatibility, a special RFID reader variant is required. Contact EGYM Order Management before delivery to ensure your login medium is supported.
NFC pass (smartphone)
NFC login can be used with Apple Wallet (VAS) and Google Smart Tap.
To enable NFC login, an NFC pass can be generated in the EGYM Branded Member App. If your gym uses a different NFC pass provider, contact EGYM Support.

Before installing the machine with a high voltage outlet, check your machine’s configuration. The M20 voltage configuration may only be changed by an EGYM service technician.
Training modes and methods
- EGYM Circuit mode
Machines are synchronized and members use the machines in a defined sequence.
- EGYM Pro mode
Machines function independently, and members can train at their own pace and choose the training weight and exercise.
Regular
| Constant resistance, as in classic strength training. Benefits: Simple and easy to follow Target group: Beginners |
Negative
| Higher resistance in the eccentric phase than the concentric phase. Benefits: Improves strength and prevents injury, and lowers blood pressure and heart rate compared to regular training. Target group: Athletes, advanced users, users with high blood pressure |
Adaptive
| Resistance is reduced during exercise, depending on the remaining muscle action potential. Benefits: Stimulates muscle growth through increased muscle fatigue. Target group: People who tend to have a slim body shape (ectomorph), body builders |
Isokinetic *
| * not available in all markets The energy spent by the user creates equal resistance from the equipment. Benefits: Training at the natural strength limit in every angular movement Target group: Users who have been diagnosed with diabetes, orthopedic problems, or cancer |
Explonic
| Constant weight with maximum acceleration. Benefits: Builds power and physical performance, and increases strength. Target group: Athletes, older adults, health-conscious people |
