Press the ENTER key to modify the target heart rate and the LED window will display "ENTER PULSE
SETTING <40-220>" Press the number keys and the LED window will show "PULSE = xxx" and the
specified value will flash. Press the number keys to modify and enter a three digit number (values: 40 ~
220 . If the number is beyond these limits it will display a larger or smaller number. Enter a value within the
）
said limits and press ENTER to confirm.
The exertion level is 1 and moves to the next line every minute. If the speed (RPM) is too slow, the dot
matrix display will show "RPM " and switch to pause mode alter 15 seconds.
Begin the exercise at a pedalling rate of between 70 to 80 R.P.M., place your hands on the pulse sensors
(handgrip) located on the handlebar or place the telemetric chest band on your chest, if you have one.
Should you go above or drop below this R.P.M then the top LED array (A), Fig.2, will display the "R.P.M "
prompt.
This program uses a preset exertion level during the first three minutes in order to prevent any type of injury.
After the third minute, the computer will automatically adjust the exertion setting to keep the pulse rate at the
previously programmed value.
AUTOMATIC EXERTION SETTING.-
At the beginning of the exercise the machine sets the exertion level to minimum, i.e. 50W, until the first pulse
reading is taken.
Once the pulse rate is established the program calculates your heart rate every X seconds (this period can
be modified between 20 to 60 seconds within the SPR program).
The exertion setting based on pulse rate is explained in the following steps.
1.- TARGET HEART RATE greater than ACTUAL HEART RATE:
When the difference between the TARGET HEART RATE and the ACTUAL HEART RATE is equal to or
greater than 15r.p.m., the AUTOMATIC EXERTION CONTROL will start increasing in steps of 20 Watts.
When the difference is less than 15 r.p.m the setting will change in steps of 10 Watts until both heart rates
match.
2.- ACTUAL HEART RATE greater than TARGET HEART RATE:
When the difference between the ACTUAL HEART RATE and the TARGET HEART RATE is equal to or
greater than 15r.p.m., the AUTOMATIC EXERTION CONTROL will start decreasing in steps of 20 Watts.
When the difference is less than 15r.p.m the setting will change in steps of 10 Watts until both heart rates
match.
When the difference between the ACTUAL HEART RATE and the TARGET HEART RATE is equal to or
greater than 30r.p.m, the bottom alphanumeric screen (B) will display the message "REDUCE EXERTION
LEVEL, YOUR HEART RATE IS TOO HIGH" and the machine's automatic control will drop the exertion
level to minimum (50 W).
If no heart rate is detected during the exercise, the message "Heart rate value?" will appear flashing, if this
situation continues for more than 60 seconds the machine will go back to manual mode.
NOTE: The maximum number of heartbeats that a person should not exceed is referred to as the maximum
heart rate and this value drops with age. A simple formula to calculate this value is to subtract your age, in
years, from 220. The maximum heart rate should be kept between 65% and 85% for correct exercise, it is
not advisable to go above 85%
For safety reasons it is advisable to exercise at below 85% of the maximum heart rate. If you do not use a
heart rate measuring system then the heart symbol and a question mark will appear on the screen, if the
machine continues not to receive any heart rate information then the program will be cancelled and you will
have to make a new program selection.
