If you are not qualified/comfortable working with electricity you should consult a certified electrician.  
This section should provide you with the information necessary to properly service your Star Trac unit 
by giving you: 

x  A basic understanding of electrical safety 

x  A basic understanding of electrical terminology 

x  A basic understanding of electricity in general 

x  A basic understanding of electrical tools 

x  An overview of your Star Trac unit 

See the “PRECAUTIONS – SAFETY” section of this manual. 

 

 
 

 
 

 

 

 

CURRENT – The number of electrically charged particles that flow past a given point on a 
circuit in a given time 
AMPERE (AMP) – A measure of current 
VOLT – Measures the current pressure of a circuit 

x  Star Trac refers to the 2 most common global voltages as:  

o  110V (or 110VAC) 

o  220V (or 220VAC) 

WATT – The rate at which an electrical device consumes energy 
OHM – A measurement of resistance 

o Ohm’s Law: 

Current:

 

I = current,   V = voltage,  R = resistance

 



 

 

Depending on what you are trying to solve, other variations can be made: 

Voltage: 

Resistance: 

All variations of Ohm’s Law are mathematically equal to one another. 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

RESISTANCE – Used to dissipate passing current into heat to lower a voltage. Resistance 
is measured in Ohm’s. 
POTENTIOMETER (POT) – An electronic component which has an adjustable resistance 
HOT wire – Delivers power to the unit.  Typically has black, brown, or red insulation 
NEUTRAL wire – Once electricity has done its work, it goes back through the neutral wire 
to complete the circuit.  Typically has white or blue insulation 
GROUND wire – In addition to the neutral wire, the ground wire offers current another path 
should an electrical short happen.  Also help to dissipate static build-up from the running 
belt and other components.  Typically has green insulation (may be bare copper in some 
cases)
