3.1 Safe assembly of the unit

• Place the unit on a solid, flat and non-sliding ground and level the unit with the adjusting feet, so that it does not move.
• For the set-up a safety clearance of 100 cm to all sides is necessary to ensure a safe access also in emergencies. Safety clearances between the devices are allowed to overlap; see picture.
• The usage may only take place in dry rooms (< 65% humidity, > 0 < 45°C room temperature).
• Pay attention that there is no electromagnetic radiation like mobile phones or fluorescent tubes, because they may affect the measurement of the heart rate.
• Do not locate the units on thick rubber mats. Ensure that the unit gets airing from all sides.
• All units of the cardio line are self-powered. The user will either generate the electricity by pedalling or ­ especially while programming ­ will be supported by the standard, built-in battery pack. The battery power will last for about two years. See topic “5 Maintenance” for battery change.
• Attention: Please consider the standards for care, maintenance and servicing in chapter 5 of this manual.

3.2 Safe training

• Before starting to exercise, the fitness of the user has to be ensured by an authorised specialist or a doctor. Please note topic 3.3 Indications and Contraindications.

• Excessive exercise can be dangerous.

• When nausea or dizziness occurs, the work-out has to be stopped right away and a doctor needs to be allocated.

• The training on the units is allowed with unbruised skin only.

• While exercising light, tight fitting clothing, which cannot be caught in parts of the unit is recommended. Always wear sports shoes to ensure a good balance on the pedals.

• Please check the unit before exercising for a good level, faulty parts or other manipulations. In case of a defect or if you are not sure, ask a supervisor.

• Before the start of the workout it must be assured that no one is close to moving parts, to avoid danger for a third person. Above all, hold unattended children off the units.

• As a safety function, the stop button is always active and immediately slows down the motion when pushed.

• To exercise in a biomechanical proper position the unit has to get adjusted. The seat can get adjusted horizontally. To adjust the seat unit the unlocking on the right handle has to get operated.

4.1 Polar® ­ pulse system

Every piece of equipment of the cardio line includes the original Polar Pulse System, which receives signals from a breast belt by the exerciser (the breast belt is not included in the delivery of the equipment). The wireless transmission to the electric display is coded. The Polar© technology is based on a magnetic field, which transfers the signals. This magnetic field can be interfered by several sources. The most common reason is the use of breast belts that are not 100% compatible with the Polar©-System and commonly have a longer range. Cell phones, speakers, TVs, power lines, fluorescent tubes, and motors with high power can also interfere with the Polar© Pulse System. The measuring of the pulse frequency is ECG precise. Only when using coded breast belts, like T31C, the heart rate gets transferred coded. When using an uncoded breast belt, like T31, the transfer is uncoded.

Safety advice according to DIN EN ISO 20957
Warning! Systems for the heart rate surveillance can be faulty. Excessive workouts can lead to serious physical damage or death. Abort the workout immediately when dizziness or nausea occurs.
Hand pulse (optional ­ solely for units of the fitness line) As an option, all units of the cardio line (fitness), excluding the body, can be equipped with a Polar© hand pulse system combined with a coded wireless signal transmitter. With this technology, two advanced measuring systems work together. The hand pulse measurement has priority over the wireless signal. When all 4 sensors are touched, a hand symbol becomes displayed on the monitor. Approximately 10 seconds later, the digital frequency display appears. Please note, that cold dry hands, but also hands with lotion influence the measurement negatively. Because of those reasons the hand pulse only works for about 95% of the users. In general, the hand pulse is not advisable for tests and pulse controlled training.
Ear-pulse (optional) The ear-pulse-system with the optical measuring at the earlobe is available as an option. If an earpulse cable is connected it has priority over Polar© pulse measurement, which will get disconnected. Attention: Rub earlobe thoroughly before applying the ear sensor. To check proper operation of the sensor switch to the pulse display for surveillance. Therefore press the Scanbutton three times while exercising. The indication for the pulse signals has to be high and at regular intervals.

Multi-colour-backlight
All ergometers are equipped with a multicolour backlight for the LCD-Display. The electricity gets provided by the brake. The brightness depends on the current load. Lighting is not possible with really low load because the required power can´t get provided safely. The backlight of the ergometer turns on after some seconds in use. Due to the backlight it´s easier to read the display,

4.2 Overview Display / button functions

Clockwise explanation of the buttons, starting with the Stop button.

• The STOP button stops the workout and activates the electronic brake, which will generate a maximum workload for 8
  seconds to bring the movement to a halt. After that, the COOL function can be used to conduct a cool down with low
  intensity.

• The PROG button must be pressed to start the selection of programs available – solely if no storage media is used.

• The Cool button stops the workout before the end of the chosen program, begins with the cool down mode and finishes
  the workout with a low intensity. The workout data is shown and saved on the storage media, if the workout has been
  started using a storage media.

• The Scan button changes the display mode, parameters, or graphical displays within the Dot Matrix on the monitor.

• The Smart Key buttons function as shown in the Dot Matrix area of the monitor according to the situational need.

• Reset button – Initially, the Reset button is not visible for the user. It is hidden in the extension of the smart key buttons
  at the upper edge of the LCD-display. If the system should operate faulty, the reset button gives you the option to
  restart the processor. This is only possible if no activity is being conducted on the unit, meaning zero revolutions.

• The + button increases value of the parameters.

• By using the Enter button, values of parameters or display modes are selected.

• The – button decreases the value of the parameters.

5.3 Display

Depending on the program, the following parameters are shown:

• Program: Number of the program.

• Time: Actual accumulated time of workout or remaining, effective workout time. An arrow indicates the counting
  direction.

• Pulse: Display of heart frequency, if a measuring device is properly worn/touched. As an indicator that the heart
  frequency is being measured using the hand pulse system, a symbolized hand is shown. The pulse indicator display
  makes it visible in which pulse area the trainee is working out. At a pulse of 130, the indicator bar is filled to the middle,
  indicating reasonable intensity. When training in a pulse controlled program, the centre of the bar indicates the target
  heart frequency.

• Wattage: The performance is displayed in watts. Corresponding to the digital figures, the intensity is displayed via a
  graphical bar indicator.

• Km/h: The performance is being shown in km/h. Corresponding to the digital figure, the speed is displayed with a
  graphical bar indicator.

• Rpm: Pedal revolutions per minute.

• Km: Depending on the program, either the accumulated or the remaining distance is being displayed.

• K-Cal: Depending on the program, the accumulated calories burned or the remaining calories to be burned are shown.

• Level: Display of the actual intensity 1-21.

• Storage media: The symbol for the storage media appears whenever a member card is inserted into the slot.

• : If any of the digital figures are shown in combination with this symbol, the figures shown are average figures of the
  workout session.

4.4 Quick start

The display can be activated by pedalling, unless the power is already supplied by the battery pack. When starting the workout by pedalling, the quick start program is automatically activated and does not need any menu programming. The resistance can be chosen by pressing the +/- button.

4.5 Programming the monitor

When the button Prog is pressed, the programming function becomes activated. By pressing +/-, the desired program can be selected. The name and number of optional programs are being displayed. Press ENTER to confirm the program. Via the menu control, information can be requested to ensure a correct control of the program. The figures displayed can be adjusted by pressing +/-. Every selection must be confirmed with ENTER. After all required information has been entered, the program starts automatically and GO is being displayed.

4.6 Adjusting the resistance

Except for the fully automated programs (Pulse, Kcal, Isokinetik/Power), all program resistances can be manually adjusted by using +/- during the workout. In some programs, this is done via a level system from 1-21, in other programs via selecting the desired wattage.

4.7  DOT Matrix

In the lower half of the LCD display a text guides through the programming menu in the chosen language in order to ease the programming. Additionally, the wattage and pulse paths are visualized during workouts. The curve for the wattage is displayed constantly whereas the pulse-curve flashes. The display depends on the program but pressing the scan button can alternate the display. List of graphical display options:
Standard ­ shows an excerpt of the last 5 minutes of the workout. Overview ­ shows the complete workout up to 50 minutes Figures ­ super size display of wattage and pulse Profile ­ shows the impact profiles Zone ­ display especially designed for the pulse-dominated programs. Here, the target heart rate is shown together with
the actual heart rate Test ­ This option visualizes the pulse movements during the test and shows the heart rate actually reached at the end
of the test. Pulse ­ here the actual signals are shown like an oscillograph.

4.8 Biofeedback

The Biofeedback function enables the user to get information through a colour indication he is training according to the specifications. The background colour blue informs that one isn´t training in the optimal range. It´s possible that one is still warming up or training with too little rpm/heart rate. The background colour green shows that the user is training in the optimal training range. Red informs that target values are undershot or exceeded. In the pulse controlled workouts the load will get reduced if the target heart rate gets exceeded. In other programs the rpm can be the value that the colours refer to.

4.9 Training Control via the storage media

The storage media has a standard fitting in all units of the cardio line. Workout control via the storage media is a means of easing the handling of the unit. The storage media systems supports the user in all aspects of training activities. The system consists of a monitor unit with the storage media reader. The slot used to enter the media is located on the right side of the monitor casing. An acoustical signal proves the acceptance of the storage media. The storage media system makes training with all units of the cardio line easier and more efficient. The programming of the media can be done directly on the ergometer. The results will then only be shown in the unit display. The planning of training can alternatively be done with a PC Software. If the software is used, the individual training programs are transferred to the storage media. All results are saved on the storage media and can be analysed on the PC after the results have been transferred. Optionally the usage of the unit can get restricted to storage media use only. This function can get chosen in the secret menu with the following alternatives: Usage solely with storage media; if not using a storage media solely the Quick Start program is possible; usage with and without storage media possible. The default value is using the machine with and without storage media. Please contact your dealer for necessary settings in case you want to restrict the usage of the machines.

Programming Training Schedules manually onto the member media One must get onto the ergometer and begin pedalling or activate the display by pressing any button. The individual data for the desired program has to be entered manually on the monitor. The program then starts. The trainer media is entered into the slot once the display shows GO until an acoustical signal indicates that the media has been recognized. The member media gets inserted. Now the maximum number of workouts (1-255) can get chosen. Confirm with ENTER. When the acoustic signal rings out, the data has been saved and the member card is functioning. Selecting 255 workouts equals no limit. Reinsert the member card. The training can start now. If the maximum number of workouts is fulfilled a new program has to get stored on the card.
The member card is intended to be used by one training person. After the desired program has been saved, the card simply has to be entered to start the workout. The workout is controlled automatically and no further programming is necessary. All workout results are saved automatically as average or accumulated values on the storage media after each workout.

Special functions of the trainer card: Deleting the data on member media If you want to delete all data of a medium, then you have to insert the trainer medium twice. Afterwards you insert the member card. Then the monitor will indicate “delete card”. If you insert the member card afterwards the display will show “card expired.” If the member card is inserted in the monitor the results can get deleted without deleting the training program. The “Results total” can be deleted by pushing the buttons + and ­ (3 seconds) at the same time. Solely the results will get deleted, not the training plan.
Functioning of the member medium The trainee must get onto the ergometer and begin pedalling. Next, the storage media has to be entered into the slot. The accumulated/average results of previous workouts on all types of ergometers and for the type used at the moment are shown for four seconds each. After that, the personal workout that was previously saved on the storage media is being started automatically and the workout session can begin. The storage media can be removed after the workout is over or interrupted by pressing the COOL button. The results of the actual session are displayed on the monitor and saved onto the storage media immediately after the end of the workout.

4.10 Online-Training with RFID

As an option the units can get equipped with a RFID reader (Mifare, Hitag, Legic ­ Attention: Please take care of the proper specifications when ordering. Solely with the right reader the compatibility will be given). The online-version gets controlled with a compatible PC-Software. To start the training there are different alternatives depending on the RFID-media. Working with a RFID-card one has to insert the card into the reader for user identification and call of the current workout. The training can start. Go is shown in the display. Using a wristband one has to press the RFID-button. Then the wristband hast to get hold over the RFID-button. The training can start. Go is shown in the display. Using a media other then a RFID-card has to be announced before production of the units as special settings will be needed. If the message “insert again” is shown several times in a row, press the SCAN- button to display a more specific error message.

4.11 Results

After the end of each workout or after pressing the COOL button, all workout results will be shown on the display. According to the program selected, the relevant results are shown. When there is no reaction the workout will be stopped after showing the results. By pushing the COOL button, the workout can be stopped at any time. The results are shown in the parameter area as well as in the dot matrix section. Some figures are average values (wattage, km/h, rpm, pulse, and meters), some are accumulated values (km, k-cal, time). Average values are marked with the Ø symbol. This enables the control of personal fitness-development and thereby motivates a frequent user. If the training has been conducted using a storage media, the training results from every type of ergometer are saved separately onto the storage media. The analysis of the results saved can be done at the ergometer directly or on a PC if the required software is available

4.12 Programs of the cardio line

Program specifications
Quick / Quick Start The quick start program allows an immediate workout start. The trainee simply has to begin pedalling, and the display starts operating. No programming is required. Using the +/- buttons, the level (degree of intensity) can be varied at all times. The program works in an rpm-dependent mode, which means that the intensity varies according to rpm. Using the Scan button, the figures and the graphical displays vary. Pressing the COOL button will initiate a display of the results as well as concludes the program.

Watt/ Time The program exclusively manages the endurance of the workout and works rpm-independently, which means the output stays constant, when varying the rpm. After activating the display, one gets to the program choice with the Prog-button. If one chooses the given program, one can choose the initial resistance, whereas the default value is 50 watts, but can be changed in 5 watt steps. The endurance in minutes gets selected with +/- and confirmed with ENTER. Within the program one can change the wattage at anytime with +/buttons. If the rpm is too low to generate the chosen power/watt, the rpm indicator flashes. The remaining time is permanently shown in the display. After the end of the workout or after the cancelling with the COOL button, the relevant results are being shown in the display.

Pulse / Pulse training The pulse training option is an intelligent training program that ensures a workout intensity that is optimal for reaching training goals without the need of manual interference. The desired target heart rate (depending on the desired training aim) must be entered at the beginning of the workout. The ergometer then adjusts the resistance to the actual heart rate in a manner that allows the target heart rate zone to be reached, but not exceeded. Additionally, the program can evaluate the development of the heart rate and use the determined fitness level to adjust the resistance, which allows for an optimal warm-up. If the initial resistance is set above a certain limit, no warm-up will be done and the resistance is immediately being adjusted to the desired heart frequency (see motion pulse manager brochure). This program functions in the rpm-independent mode. The pulse program requires three figures to work properly:
Desired heart frequency during the workout Initial intensity in watts; Training time in the effective heart rate range Everything else is managed by the program control. The time entered is the time of workout in the effective heart rate range, which means that the time of the warm-up will not be counted. The +/- buttons are always active during the workout. If the initial intensity is increased to more than 45 watts during the first two minutes of the workout, the program control will increase the intensity immediately to reach the target heart rate as quickly as possible. By doing so, the user can perform a so called cross training, whereby the resistance is adjusted to the expected wattage during the workout and the ergometer will simply make fine tunings to the resistance. In this program the biofeedback function is active to give the trainer and the user a visual feedback when undercutting or overexceeding the target heart rate. Once the target heart rate has been reached, the +/- buttons can be used to change the target heart rate. At the conclusion of the training, the results are shown on the display.

K-cal / Calorie training The K-cal training has been designed to meet the needs of gyms and gym members who are interested in stamina workouts to reduce body weight. To ensure that the workout stresses the desired metabolism, the program controls the resistance according to the pre-adjusted heart frequency. Personal performance influences the workout time needed to burn a certain amount of calories at a constant heart rate. In this program the biofeedback function is active to give the trainer and the user a visual feedback when undercutting or overexceeding the target heart rate. At the end of the training, the results are shown in the display.

Hill / Hill training The hill training program operates in an rpm-dependent mode and combines constant aerobic and slightly anaerobic interval workouts. The desired workout time and the level of intensity must be set during programming. During the entire workout, the +/- buttons remain active to allow for a change in resistance. The graphical profile indicates the hill profile remaining and the actual position during the workout. The intensity will be shown permanently as level or as wattage/speed. The heart frequency is shown if the trainee is using one of the given heart measurement devices. This serves as a personal control but does not have an influence on the program itself. After completing the program, the cool down starts automatically and a display of the results is initiated.

Random / Random training The random training offers various training profiles. It operates rpm-dependently and combines constant aerobic and slightly anaerobic interval workouts. The desired workout time and the level of intensity must be set during programming. During the entire workout, the +/- remain activated to allow for a change in resistance. The graphical profile indicates the hill profile remaining and the actual position during the workout. The intensity will be shown permanently as level or as wattage/speed. The heart frequency is shown if the trainee is using one of the given heart measurement devices. This serves as a personal control but does not have an influence on the program itself. After completing the program, the cool down starts automatically and a display of the results is initiated. This program cannot be controlled via the storage media.

Interval / Interval training The interval training works rpm independently. The training can be divided into 22 parts, which can get set individually regarding intensity, time and other parameters. To use this individually set training program easily, it can get saved on a storage media. In general intensity steps are put in a row. If a different intensity is to follow the previous step, the wattage gets adapted slowly. It´s also possible to increase the wattage like a ramp. In this case the increasing of the load gets adapted stepless over the full time period of that step. To simplify the process of programming you can repeat a load- and pulse sequence as often as you want ­ e.g. “Loop” x 5 ­ (max. 22 x). A side effect is a reduced amount of data on the storage media on which other training programs from other types of units can be stored. In the top right corner of the display the remaining number of steps possible is being indicated. It gets counted backwards from 22. If more than 22 steps are set solely the first 22 will get stored on the storage media.
The following symbols are shown in the display and are relevant for the programming.

Distance / Distance training The distance training works in a rpm-dependent mode, which means that the intensity adjusts when the rpm changes. For this program, the parameters distance and intensity level/gear (1-21) must be pre- selected. At any time during the workout, the level can be adjusted with +/-. The chosen distance will countdown and the intensity is determined from among the 21 intensity levels. The workload is shown in km/h in the display. The time that is needed to complete the distance can be used as an indicator of performance. After completing the program, a display of the results is initiated.

Isokinetic / Power training The isokinetic program is a variation in the area of ergometer training. A target rpm has to be set at the beginning of the workout. The user can select from the entire range of wattage. The user defines the resistance himself by aiming to achieve a higher rpm. At a low target rpm, the program can be used as strength training. The user always determines the intensity. This can be very effective when used by persons with limited physical capabilities due to joint injuries. The biofeedback function gives a visual feedback when the target rpm is achieved or exceeded.

Watt sensitive (not available for fitness units) Watt constant training programs are likely to be used in the field of training control and therapy, because the intensity control can be very accurate. As long as there are no orthopaedic reasons for therapy, the rpm-independent power control of ergometers has a lot of advantages. However, if problems in the extremities used exist, the rpm-independent power control can lead to overstress. A reduction of the rpm increases the pedal impact a lot and can lead to overstress or program abort. To eliminate these negative aspects, excessive torsion can be avoided in the watt sensitive program by an intelligent program control. During the program setting, a rpm limit gets selected. When the limit gets undercut the pedal resistance gets redeemed immediately. Also the overshoot of the limited heart rate gets controlled. When it gets overshot for a longer time, a watt reduction of 10% every 30 seconds is the result (see motion pulse manager brochure). The target resistance will be reached via a ramp during the first 2 minutes. That way the trainee gets used to the power and an adequate warm-up is assured. The biofeedback function is in this program active and gives feedback according to the target rpm.

Therapy (not available for fitness units) Also in rehabilitation the total intensity of the training gets controlled with the intensity steering factors workout time as well as intensity, alongside the recovery progress. As a general rule intensity changes occur by increasing the workload (e.g. increasing of the wattage). At the therapy training the intensity gets varied several times within the program. After a two minute warm-up in ramp shape, 6 intervals of one minute each, with one minute active rest (50% of the impact intensity) per interval follow. The maximum interval impact in watt gets limited as well as the rpm limit below which the pedal power gets clearly decreased. Also the overshooting of the pre-entered heart rate gets controlled. When overshooting for a longer time a reduction of the wattage of 10% every 30 seconds follows (see motion pulse manager brochure). A Cool Down function over 3 minutes rounds up the training. Overall the program lasts 17 minutes. The biofeedback function is also active in this program and gives feedback according to the target rpm.

4.13 Pulse controlled programs

Concerning the working of pulse controlled programs such as pulse program, Kcal training, Watt sensitive and Therapy, please refer to the brochure “motion pulse manager”.

4.14 PC-Interface

All ergometers are equipped standardly with an RS232 interface. This interface is not equipped with a galvanic isolation or external power supply. By this the ergometer can be controlled via a PC, an ECG, spiroergometry device, aso, if both devices are using the same interface protocol. Please note, that with medical use, the rules for electric safety must be obeyed. Optionally, a RS232 interface with galvanic isolation can be ordered (when the machine is being build), in order to limit the risk resulting from any malfunction of the connected device. Please contact your dealer, when you have more questions about this issue. If the monitor shall be active for a longer period ­ especially prior to the start of a training/test ­ a stabilized, medically approved, 9 Volt power supply unit has to be connected. This is not included in the standard Rs232 setting. After connecting the power supply, the display is being activated for 3 Minutes and then goes into standby. With the next push of a button, it is ready instantly.

If a warranty case occurs, emotion fitness GmbH & Co. KG must be informed immediately in written form or e-mail. The owner must provide information including the serial number, detailed error report, the date of purchase, and the name of the original supplier.

Some consumable parts are excluded from the warranty. These include the overlay, seat, crank arms, crank arm fixings, pedals, pedal straps, storage batteries, footsteps and the foam covering for the handrails.
