OPERATION INSTRUCTION

NOTE: Install APT PLUS for arms or legs exercise as described in the previous chapters.

Active mode – ISOKINETIC operation

Step 1: Insert the handgrips or footrests in one of the four mounting holes according to the radius and range of motion required

NOTE: As the effective crank arm length is reduced in the ACTIVE mode, the amount of effort required increases while the range of motion decreases, and vice versa

Step 2: To activate the active mode from the stand-by position (after the electrical power is supplied to the APT PLUS and the button is pressed): press the  button. The green ACTIVE mode indicator will light up.

Step 3: Set the desired load level by pressing one of the selection push buttons, to increase the level or to decrease the level.

Step 4: Rotate the APT PLUS handgrips or footrests forward or backward. Actual exercising force is displayed as a percentage (%) on the Bar Indicator.

NOTE: In this mode, an increase in the rotation speed (RPM) will lead to an increase in the exercising force.

Active mode – CONSTANT FORCE Operation

Step 1: Press the button to activate the CONSTANT FORCE FUNCTION in the ACTIVE mode. The green indicator will light up
Step 2: Set the desired load level by pressing one of the selection push buttons, to increase the level or to decrease the level.
Step 3: Rotate the APT PLUS handgrips or footrests forward or backwards. The exercising force as displayed on the Bar Indicator will now remain constant at 50% for the selected load level, irrespective of the crank arm rotation speed.

PASSIVE mode

Step 1: Insert the handgrips or footrests in one of the four mounting holes according to the radius and range of motion required.

NOTE: As the effective crank arm length is reduced in the PASSIVE mode, the range of movement is reduced and the degree of resistance that the motor can overcome is increased.

Step 2: To activate the passive mode from the stand-by position (after the electrical power is supplied to the APT PLUS and the button is pressed): press the button two times, until the green PASSIVE mode indicator will light up. From the ACTIVE mode – press once only.
Step 3: Set the desired rotation speed by pressing one of the speed level push buttons and the desired force by pressing one of the force load push buttons: to increase level, to decrease level.
Step 4: Hold onto the handgrips (for arm exercise) or secure both feet to the footrests (for legs exercise). Make sure that APT PLUS is placed at a comfortable distance for exercise by turning the crank arms one complete revolution.
Press the button for forward rotation.
Press the button for backward rotation.

NOTE: There will be a short delay before the APT PLUS begins to turn in the chosen direction.
Step 5: The operation force of the crank arms should rotate the arms or legs of with no effort on the part of the user. This rotation force varies according to exercise level and crank arm mounting hole location selected.

Step 6: To stop the rotation of the crank-arms and exit the PASSIVE mode, press the button. The indicators will turn off and the APT PLUS will return to the stand-by position.

COMBINED active/passive mode

Step 1: Operate the APT PLUS in the passive mode and work against the force of the motor by applying resistance to the rotation of the crank arms.
Step 2: The resistance force to the rotation is displayed on the on the Bar Indicator as a percentage (%) at each level.
Step 3: If the resistance force stops the crank arm rotation completely, the Bar Indicator reaches 100% and the red indicator will light up. After holding this position for approximately 2 seconds, the crank arm rotation will stop automatically.

NOTE: To restart, Press the button for forward rotation, or the button for backward rotation

Passive mode – AUTO-REVERSE function

Step 1: Push the button to activate the AUTO-REVERSE function in the PASSIVE mode. The green indicator will light up.
Step 2: Operate the APT PLUS as in usual passive or combined active/passive mode.
Step 3: When the resistance force stops the crank arm rotation completely, the Bar Indicator reaches 100% and the red indicator will light up. After holding this position for approximately 2 seconds, the crank arm rotation will stop automatically. After a short delay the DIRECTION OF ROTATION WILL BE REVERSED.
This feature also serves as an ANTI-SPASM function, stopping the motor in case of muscle spasm and reversing the direction of rotation after a short delay.
Step 4: As long as the button indicator is lit, this function will continue to operate in the PASSIVE mode.

Display

By pressing the button, four different types of data can be displayed.
 Normally the display will show the time measuring the duration of exercising; the green indicator will be lit.

Each time the button is pressed, the display will shift to show the next data type – as follow

 Counter: displays the total of crank arm revolutions performed during an exercise period; the green indicator will be lit.
 Power: display the power used during an exercise period; the green indicator will be lit. This display can only be activated in ACTIVE mode.

Shut down

Step 1: To turn off the APT PLUS, from the PASSIVE mode – press the button once. From the Active mode – press twice. All indicators except for the one next to the button will turn off and the APT PLUS will return to its stand-by position. To turn off the APT PLUS completely – press the once.

EMI – ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERRENC

CAUTION: It is important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of electromagnetic interference on your APT PLUS.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources
The equipment may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the equipment to come to a sudden stop, or react in an uncontrolled manner. It can also permanently damage the equipment’s control system

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday environment.
Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1. Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include citizens band (CB) radios, “walkie-talkies”, security, fire, and police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal communication devices.
   **NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not being used;

2. Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle; and

3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, and cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to the equipment.

Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the equipment’s control system while using these devices. This can affect the equipment’s operation. Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of your APT PLUS.

WARNINGS
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect the equipment. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended reaction, which could result in serious injury.

1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters-receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such an cellular phones, while your APT PLUS is turned ON;
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid operating your APT PLUS close to them;
3. If an unintended reaction occurs, turn your APT PLUS power switch OFF by using the emergency stop switch (see instructions on page 22);
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying your APT PLUS, may make it more susceptible to EMI (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of your APT PLUS);
5. Report all incidents of unintended reaction to your Authorized APT PLUS dealer or service center, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Electric Exercise Machine is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Electric Exercise Machine should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Electric Exercise Machine.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [V,) V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communication at ion s equipment and the Electric Exercise Machine.**

The Electric electric Machine is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Electric Exercise Machine can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Electric Exercise Machine as recommended below. according to the maximum output power oi the communications equipment
Rated maximum output of transmitter
W| Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter m
