General notes

Sounds emitted by the system
Switch on
After switching on, a brief acoustic signal is given during the seg-
ment test.
End of program
An acoustic signal is given at the end of a program (profile
programs, countdown).
Maximum pulse exceeded
If the set maximum pulse is exceeded by one beat, two brief
beeps are emitted every 5 seconds.
Error signal
In case of error, e.g. recovery not possible without pulse signal,
3 short beeps are emitted.
Automatic scan – switch function on and off
When the automatic scan function is activated and de-activated,
a short beep is emitted.

Recovery

During the function the flywheel mass is braked automatically. Fur-
ther exercising is not advisable.
Calculation of fitness mark (F):
Mark (F) = 6.0 –
P1 pulse during exercising,
F1.0 = very good,

Switchover time / distance

In programs 1-6, the profile per column in the settings can be swit-
ched from time mode (1 minute) to distance mode (200 metres or
0.1 miles).

Profile display during exercising

At the start the first column flashes. During the sequence it moves
further to the right.
With profiles over 30 minutes up to the centre (column 15).
The profile then shifts from right to left. If the end of the profile
appears in the last column (column 30) the flashing column moves
further to the right until the end of the program is reached.
R.p.m.(speed)-related operation
(constant braking moment)
The electromagnetic eddy-current brake sets a constant braking
moment.

Average-value calculation

The calculation of the average takes place for each exercising
session.
Note on pulse measurement
The pulse calculation starts when the heart symbol in the display
flashes in time with your own pulse.
With chest strap
Refer to the appropriate instructions.
Malfunction of training computer
Press the SET button and keep pressed for some seconds.
( )
10 x (P1–P2) 2
P1
P2 = recovery pulse
F6.0 = very poor

Glossary

Age
Input quantity for calculating the maximum pulse.
Control system
The electronics control the resistance or the pulse according to
manually input or pre-set values.
Dot display area
Display area with 30 x 16 dots for indicating power profiles, text
and values.
Energy (real.)
Calculates the energy expended by the body with an efficiency
of 16,7% to provide the mechanical power. The remaining
83.3% is converted by the body into heat.
Fat-combustion pulse
Calculated value of: 65% MaxPulse
Fitness pulse
Calculated value of: 75% MaxPulse
HI symbol
If "HI" appears, a target pulse is 11 beats too high. If HI flashes,
the Max-Pulse is exceeded.
Interface
9-pole SUB-D socket (RS232/serial) for exchange of data with a
computer.
LO symbol
If "LO" appears, a target pulse is 11 beats too low.
Manual
Calculated value of 40-90% MaxPulse
MaxPulse
Calculated value of 220 minus age
Menu
Screen in which values can be input or selected.
Power
Current value of mechanical (brake) power in Watts which the
apparatus converts to heat.
Profile
The changes in resistance over time or distance as shown in the
dot display.
Programs
Exercising possibilities requiring resistances or target pulses to be
defined manually or automatically.
Pulse rate
Recording of number of heartbeats per minute

R.p.m.-related operation

The power indicated does not change until the number of strokes
per minute or the brake stage is changed. When the number of
strokes changes, the current power is calculated from the (con-
stant) braking moment (brake stage) and the number of strokes,
and displayed. During exercise, the brake stage can be increa-
sed or decreased by pressing the "+" or "–" button. Following
this, the braking moment is kept constant and the power indicati-
on recalculated as described above when the number of strokes
changes.
Recovery
Pulse measurement during the recovery phase after exercising.
From the pulse rate at the beginning and end of a minute, the dif-
ference is determined and a fitness mark awarded. With constant
exercising, the improvement of this mark is a measure of impro-
