Functions and operation of the TX5 training computer
GB
INCLINE SETTINGS
The INCLINE angle is increased by 0.5% using the INCLINE but-
ton (+).
The INCLINE angle can be reduced by 0.5% using the INCLINE
button (-).
A long press on these buttons leads to an automatic run through
the values.
You can set the INCLINE directly using the DIRECT INCLINE but-
tons 4 %,8 %, 12 %.
For safety reasons the INCLINE angle can only be set manually.
This excludes the programmes with INCLINE profiles and the
HRC programmes (heart frequency control programme) as well
as PC mode. Here the INCLINE angle will be set up automatical-
ly. During PC mode the INCLINE angle can only be increased or
reduced in steps of 1%.
SPEED SETTINGS
You can increase the speed by 0.1 km/h (mph) during training
using the SPEED button (+).
You can reduce the speed by 0.1 km/h (mph) during training
using the SPEED button (-).
A long press on these buttons leads to an automatic run through
the values.
By using the DIRECT SPEED buttons (4.0 km/h / 2.5 mph), (8.0
km/h / 5.0 mph) and (12 km/h / 7.5 mph) you can set the
speed directly.
PROGRAMME SELECTION
After turning on or ending a programme you can select a pro-
gramme using the “◄“, “▲“, “►“, “▼“ CURSOR buttons and the
ENTER button. “ALL ROUND“ and “PROFESSIONAL“ program-
mes are available. Information text is shown in the upper LCD
line for the information of the user. Flashing LED’s next to the but-
tons show the available buttons at a glance.
PROFILE SEGMENTS
When selecting a programme (before starting training) the profi-
le for INCLINE, pulse and speed will be shown on the display.
The INCLINE profile and pulse profile will be shown on the left
half of the display and the speed profile will be shown on the
right part of the display. During training the INCLINE value on
the left and the speed value on the right will be scaled to the
available segment. This could lead to corruption of the profile in
the display. The current position of the user will flash. By tou-
ching the ENTER button during training the profile sequence will
be re-blended in.
RECOVERY
If there is a pulse signal during training, activate the recovery
pulse measurement with the RECOVERY button. The treadmill will
come to a stand still. The working pulse will be measured and
then the resting pulse will be measured one minute later, and a
fitness mark will be awarded. When doing the same training the
improvement of this mark shows improved fitness.
In the DISTANCE display the working pulse P1 and the recovery
pulse P2 in the CALORIES display will be blended in. After
approx. 16 seconds the display will change to pause mode.
Calculation of fitness mark:
Note = 6 -
(
10 x (P1 – P2)
)
2
P1
P1= working pulse P2 = recovery pulse
1 = Very good F6.0 = unsatisfactory
PAUSE
If you press the STOP button during training, the programme will
be interrupted and the pause mode will be activated. During
pause mode only the START- and STOP buttons work.
If you press the START button during pause mode, the tread mill
will start again at the speed that was being used before the
pause function was activated. The training values will continue
to be counted and continued from where they were interrupted.
If no buttons are pressed for three minutes or the STOP button is
pressed during pause mode, the programme will be ended and
the training statistics will be shown.
FINISH –TRAININGS STATISTICS-
If the STOP button is pressed or you automatically leave pause
mode, the display will show the training statistics for 16
seconds. The display shows the total time, total distance and
total energy use. Finally the display will change to programme
selection and is ready for your next training session. If you want
to skip the training statistics simply press the STOP button.
CALORIE CALCULATION
The calorie calculation is a reference value. The calculated value
does not raise any medical claims.
PULSE FUNCTION
The treadmill is equipped with a hand pulse recorder. In order
to guarantee a good hand pulse recording, you should hold
onto both hand pulse sensors lightly and completely, without
moving your hands. Moving the hands could lead to disturban-
ces. The PULSE display requires approx. 5 to 15 seconds to
display your current pulse.
The treadmill also has a built in POLAR compatible heart fre-
quency recorder. In order to be able to use the wireless pulse
system, you must wear a chest belt to convey the heart frequen-
cy. The chest belt to transfer the heart frequency is not included
in the scope of delivery of the treadmill. We recommend the
POLAR chest belt T34. This can be obtained as an accessory
from specialist shops. Please be aware that some materials that
are used in your clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static
charges and may impede a reliable heart frequency measure-
ment. Please also be aware that mobile phones, televisions and
other electrical devices which form an electro -magnetic field
around them may also cause a problem with the heart frequency
measurement.
SETTINGS
A long press on the SPEED (-) button during programme selec-
tion will take you to the settings. The setting possibilities
(German/English), system (metric/English), sound (on/off), reset-
ting the service display, total kilometres, display and controller
version can be selected by touching the SPEED (-) button. You
can leave the settings mode at any time without a change by
pressing the STOP button. By touching the START button the rele-
vant setting will be converted or turned on/off and you will
leave the settings mode. The total kilometres and display and
controller version can only be read out and cannot be changed.
SERVICE DISPLAY
If the service symbol is displayed then the treadmill needs to be
repaired. Please check the treadmill adjustment and lubrication.
You can find instructions on this in the assembly instructions. To
reset the service display “see settings”!
ERROR MESSAGES
During operation various messages will be blended into the text
line in the case of control errors. Error messages can be reset by
turning the mains switch off an on again. If the error message
appears again then you should contact the service.
USB
The USB ports are on the reverse side of the console. Via this
interface data exchange with a PC is possible via KETTLER soft-
ware.
OPERATION
TURNING ON
First of all turn the device on. The ON/OFF switch for the tread-
mill is next to the network cable on the front side underneath the
motor cover. Push the switch into the “ON“ position.
- SAFETY KEY
Always check that the safety switch is functioning properly befo-
re training. Attach the safety key to the safety switch and the
cord to your clothing. If the safety key is not placed in the safety
