Data Readouts
As the user exercises, the unit keeps track of and displays the following data:
BPM (Beats Per Minute) – User’s current heart rate. Heart rate will appear when a signal is
introduced.
Calories – The total accumulated calories burned during workout.
Calories Per Hour – Calculation of present workload’s energy exertion in Calories per Hour.
Distance – The total accumulated distance during workout. Depending on the defaults chosen, this
measurement will show in English (miles) or Metric (kilometers). The unit uses a xed 24”
(61 cm) stroke, giving a travel distance of 48” (122 cm) per revolution. Distance = Strides
per Minute x 24” (61 cm) x Time.
SPM (Strides per Minute) – The average number of strides per minute at current speed.
METs (Metabolic Equivalent) – Displayed only if no BPM signal is present. A MET is the metabolic
equivalent of the energy expended by the human body at rest.
Anything over one MET is considered exertion. METs are calculated
by the display and updated every 1 – 1.2 seconds. METs = Cal/Hr X
2.2 / User Weight (in lbs.)
WATTS – The absolute meter-kilogram-second unit of power equal to the work done at the rate of
one joule per second, equivalent to 1/746 horsepower.
Contact Heart Rate – Lightly hold hand grips on the handlebar ensuring that hands are clean and
contact both the front and back sensors of each grip. A heart rate will display in typically 30 seconds
or less.
Factors that interfere with heart rate signal:
• hand lotions
• oils or body powder
• excessive dirt
• excessive movement
• body composition
• hydration
• too loose grip
• too tight grip
• resting or leaning on grips
Wireless Heart Rate – To use this feature, a Polar® compatible heart rate transmitter belt (not
included) must be worn.
Once the actual heart rate is determined, the LED to the right of the Data Readouts is blinking to the
displayed BPM and the Heart LED lights up. The color of the light represents a scale of low to high
target heart rate.
Blue0 – 69 BPM
Green70 – 93 BPM

Damaged Parts
Materials damaged in shipment should not be returned for credit. Shipping damages are the
responsibility of the carrier (UPS, Federal Express, trucking companies, etc.)
Apparent Damage
Upon receipt of your shipment, check all items carefully. Any damage seen with a visual check must
be noted on the freight bill and signed by the carrier’s agent. Failure to do so will result in the carriers
refusal to honor your damage claim. The carrier will provide you with the required forms for ling such
claims.
Concealed Damage
Damage not seen with a visual check upon receipt of a shipment but notices later must be reported
to the carrier as soon as possible. Upon discovery of the damage, a written or phone request to
the carrier asking them to perform an inspection of the materials must be made within ten days of
the delivery date. Keep all shipping containers and packing materials as they will be needed in the
inspection process. The carrier will provide you with an inspection report and the necessary forms for
ling a concealed damage claim. Concealed damage claim is the carrier’s responsibility.
The Weight Loss 1 program is a ve-minute core program designed for low to medium intensity
training that the user can sustain for an extended period of time. It builds from a low intensity baseline
to include short bursts of higher resistance while the elevation increases by fty percent for two-
minutes. The constant variety provides for periods of higher expenditure and training effect without
the introduction of undue fatigue allowing the user to perform for longer periods of time.
The Weight Loss 2 program is a ve-minute core program that begins at a low intensity level and
incrementally increases both resistance and elevation until peaking after three-minutes and remains
at that level for one-minute before ramping back down to the initial level. The repetitive program is
designed to encourage a transition in training intensity to encourage the development of aerobic and
anaerobic energy systems.
The Weight Loss 3 program is a three-minute thirty-second core program designed to give the user
an intense workout. Users will experience moderate resistance and elevation at the beginning to
simulate the start of a climb and will crest at peak elevation gain and difcult resistance after two-
minutes. The resistance then returns to the preliminary level and the core program repeats itself for
the next hill.
The Cardio 1 program is a four-minute core program designed for medium intensity workouts. Users
will experience intervals of moderate resistance and elevation at the beginning to simulate the start of
a climb and greater resistance and steeper elevation after two-minutes. The resistance then returns to
the preliminary level and the core program repeats itself for the next interval.
The Cardio 2 program is a two-minute core program utilizing a 1:1 work to rest ratio. It is designed to
improve both aerobic and anaerobic capabilities as users will face a high level of resistance for one
minute followed by a one-minute recuperation period before performing the work interval again. The
elevation remains constant throughout the program.
The Cardio 3 program is designed to maintain a high total demand with two-minutes with high
resistance and low elevation and two minutes at medium resistance with higher elevation for a
total four-minute core program. The prolonged exertion period takes advantage of the long term
energy stores and total aerobic capability when associated with speeds that require a high sustained
cardiovascular demand.
The Strength 1 program uses a 1:2 work to rest ratio. It is designed for high resistance training with
longer rest periods than the 1:1 program. Users will face a high level of resistance for thirty-seconds
followed by a one minute recuperation period before performing the interval again. The elevation
remains constant throughout the program.
The Strength 2 program is designed with the specic goal of raising the users’ lactic acid threshold.
The program uses a 1:3 work to rest ratio with fteen-second intervals for maximum power
development and forty-ve second rest periods for recuperation.
The Heartrate Control (HRC) program will attempt to bring the user to their target heartrate in 3-5
minutes, then keep them there for the duration of the body of the program. A Cool Down is built in to
the end of the program. HRC is run in Constant Power and thus denes watts.
The user selects a target heartrate, which defaults to 75% of max (max is 220-age). Limits should be
set to not allow a Target HR (THR) less than 60% of max or more than 95% of max.
The protocol starts in Stage II, with the entry point based on Target HR.
•80 – 120 BPM = Step 6
•121-127 BPM = Step 8
•128-134 BPM = Step 10
•135-up BPM = Step 12
A running pulse-to-pulse BPM value is continuously measured.
Every 15 seconds the user’s pulse rate is sampled and a prediction function is evaluated (decision.)
This is subtracted from the target heartrate to form an error value which is scaled and added to the
current load value. There is a maximum rate of change of 15 steps per decision.
The workload equates to the speed and incline load of the 750T Treadmill HRC Program. A chart of
Step and Watts has been created. It has four dened stages:
•Stage 1 ramps the load from Step 1 to Step 5.
•Stage 2 ramps the load from Step 6 through Step 18.
•Stage 3 ramps the load from Step 19 through Step 39.
•Stage 4 ramps the load from Step 40 through Step 100.
The user has full control over incline throughout the program, with incline having no bearing on
the program at all. The user has limited control over the load in that the user’s selections are not
permanent. At the next decision, a new load can be chosen by the software as described above to
override any user modications.
If the user presses the LEVEL key, they can modify their Target Heartrate real-time. Utilize the Target
Heartrate Setup selection screen and exit back to the program in progress, making the change to
their target heartrate real-time.
Lost Signal
If a signal is lost for two consecutive decisions (roughly 30 seconds), the display will beep four times,
show ‘HR SIGNAL LOST’, show dashes in the BPM window and show the heart solid white. During
this HR signal lost period, the load will remain steady.
If after two further decisions (roughly an additional 30 seconds) the heartrate signal has not been
reestablished, continue to show ‘HR SIGNAL LOST’ on the Text area. The program will reduce the
workload by 10 steps per minute until minimum workload or Step 1. After one minute at minimum
workload, go to Exiting Active Mode.

Cybex Arc Trainer 625A/625AT Owner’s Manual
Cool Down
By default, Cool Down occurs at session time minus two minutes or if the user presses the Cool
Down button. Cool Down goes to 75% of existing step, then drops by 1 step every 15 seconds for the
