Battery change
If the battery symbol occurs in the display, battery power is too
low for pulse measurement. Training kilometres and time as well
as all presettings will get lost. Time must be reset.
Brake level display
Brake setting is classified in level 1-10. If this classification is dis-
turbed or lost, you must restore it as follows:
• Check whether the 3-pole connecting cable is plugged in at
the back of the display.
• Insert batteries and press the ”DISP/SET” button until the seg-
ment test is completed.
• Turn back hand lever to minimum setting and press the
”DISP/SET” button when 0%, BRAKE 0 is displayed.
• Pre-turn hand lever to maximum setting and press the
”DISP/SET” button when 100%, BRAKE 10 is displayed.
The process is completed.
Training instructions
Sports medicine and training science use cycle ergometry,
among other things, for the examination of the functional capabi-
lity of heart, circulation and respiratory system.
You can find out whether or not you have achieved the desired
effect from your training after several weeks using the following
method:
1. You manage a particular endurance performance with less
heart / circulation performance than previously
2. You sustain a particular endurance performance with the
same heart / circulation performance over a longer period.
3. You recover more quickly than previously after a particular
heart / circulation performance.
Guide values for the endurance training
Maximalpulse: maximum strain means the reaching of the indi-
vidual maximum pulse. The maximum achievable heart rate is
dependant on age.
Here the following empirical formula applies: the maximum
heart rate per minute corresponds to 220 heart beats minus age
in years.
Example: age 50 years -> 220 – 50 = 170 pulse/min.
Load intensity
Load pulse: the optimum intensity of load is reached at 65–75 %
(see also diagram) of the maximum pulse. This value changes
depending on age.
Extent of load
General instructions
System signals
Activation of the device
If you activate the device, a signal is emitted during the segment
test.
Presetting
A short signal is emitted, if you reach a presetting such as time,
distance and KJoule/ kcal.
Maximum pulse exceeding
If the preset maximum pulse is exceeded by one pulse beat, 2
short signals are emitted for the time.
Recovery
Calculation of the fitness mark (F):
mark (F) = 6.0 –
(
10 x (P1–P2)
)
2
P1
P1 stress pulse P2 = recovery pulse
Grade 1 = very good Grade 6 = insufficient
Calculation of average value
The calculations of the average values refer to training units in
the past until a reset or the stand-by mode.
Instructions for pulse measurement
The pulse measurement starts as soon as the heart in the display
blinks in time with your pulse beat.
With ear clip
The pulse sensor works with infrared light and measures the va-
riations in translucence in your skin, which are produced by your
pulse beat. Rub your ear ten times strongly to activate the blood
circulation before attaching the pulse sensor to your earlobe.
Avoid disturbing pulses.
• Attach the ear clip properly to your earlobe and look for the
best point for the measurement (heart symbol blinks without
interruption).
• Do not train directly under strong incidence of light, e.g. neon
light, halogen light, spotlights, sun light.
• Completely eliminate any shocks or bounces of the ear sensor
and the cable. Always attach the cable with a clip at your
clothing or, even better, at your headband.
With breast clip
Please observe the corresponding instructions.
With hand pulse
An extra-low voltage caused by the contractions of your heart is
registered by the hand sensors and evaluated by the electronics
assembly of the device
• Always grab the contact faces with both hands
• Avoid jerky grasping
• Hold your hands calmly and avoid contractions and rubbing
on the contact faces.
Only one way of pulse measurement is possible: either with ear clip
or with hand pulse or with breast belt. If no ear clip or plug reci-
pient is located in the pulse plug, hand pulse measurement is acti-
vated. If you insert an ear clip or a plug recipient in the pulse plug,
hand pulse measurement is automatically deactivated. It is not ne-
cessary to disconnect the plug of the hand pulse measurement.
