The present instruction manual describes the
This ergometer is specially designed for health and endurance training. High quality manufacturing, easy to see dashboard, ease of use and maintenance all contribute to make this
appliance an ideal training device for sport and fitness purposes. Also note that the complete
equipment and the wide performance range should appeal to sport or fitness conscious
persons of every age group.
What is an ergometer bike?
The ergo_bike was developped and manufactured in accordance with the standard
A DIN EN 957-1/5 (formerly DIN 32932/A), and is therefore suitable for therapeutic purposes.
The ability to prescribe the required power load in Watt beforehand is an essential
feature of an ergometer.
This load is then maintained independently of the speed expressed in revolutions per
minute (within the RPM ranges shown on the graph on page 9), which means it is possible
to train with a load that is considerably independent of the pedaling RPM. This feature
prevents an unwitting exposure to incorrect loads while training.
A full electronically controlled, maintenance free, eddy current break is at the heart of the
ergo_bike. It adjusts the load according to the values determined by the computer to fit the
strictly personal requirements, and allows a continuous load value selection from 25 to
400 Watt.
ergo_bike cardio2002 pc
The ergometer is thus more than a “Home Trainer”, since it can
be used for both sports and therapeutic objectives.

General information
Switching On / Off
Please read the Notes on Safety (page 19)
before switching the ergo_bike on, and follow
the installation and assembly instructions
(pages M1 - M12).
The On/Off switch (power switch) is located
at the back in a rectangular plastic frame on
the rear perforated plate cover.
Upon turning on the power switch (On/Off), the five display windows of the dashboard will display all the symbols and number segments for about two seconds. This is a self
test on the entire system. run by the computer
The ergo_bike switches automatically to stand by mode if it is left switched on and unused for about two hours. This is signaled by three beep sounds and ten times blinking of all
the windows, and by the display of “SLP” in window number 2. All other windows are
blanked. This mode is terminated by pressing control button number 6.
The ergo_bike should be switched off by mean of the
On/Off switch or by pulling the power cord plug
from the power outlet.
Always press the Reset key before switching the
device off in order to save the distance covered
in kilometers.
(This does not apply for the values of the “guest” user.)
Please note:
The value of the daily kilometer counter (the wide arrow pointing to Distance) will
always be added to the total kilometer counter (the arrow pointing to User/Km Total),

Displaying the aerobic pulse zone
The aerobic zone is a function of the age, it can be determined on the graph
“Target pulse frequency” and the table “target zones of heart frequency” (page 7).
The aerobic pulse zone is only displayed if the user enters his age.

The upward pointing arrow indicates
that the user is training below the aerobic zone. To get to the “ OK ” zone
the user must either train longer and/or increase
the braking power in Watt.
The downward pointing arrow indicates
that the user is training above the aerobic pulse rate zone.
To get to the “ OK ” zone the user must reduce
the braking power in Watt.
The downward pointing arrow starts blinking
to indicate that the aerobic rate zone is exceeded by an excessive margin (the danger-zone is reached),
and the user risks injury by overexercising.
A beep sound combined to the downward blinking arrow
indicates that the user has reached the “alarm zone”.
The ergo_bike starts reducing the braking power automatically
at a rate of 5 Watt per second until the pulse rate of the user
falls into the “danger-zone”.
If the training session is program controlled, and if the training is , the watt setting
will automatically reduced by the same reduction needed to bring the pulse rate to the “danger zone”!

Pulse sensors / Cardio sensor chest band
The pulse sensor (ear clip) included in the package is an important accessory to
the ergo_bike. You should not start any training session without it, or without the Cardio sensor chest band available as an option ! The pulse sensors built into the handle can
be used to control or monitor the heart rate over short periods of time.
The ear clip pulse sensor illuminates the ear lobe to measure
the pulse rate. Every heart pulse modulates the light passing through the lobe, and can thus be detected
by an infrared sensor and displayed as heart pulse rate.
Pulse sensor (ear clip)
1.
Insert the connector into the socket no. 8
on the dashboard marked with .
2.
You should rub the ear lobe energetically
with your fingers to stimulate blood circulation.
3.
Attach the pulse sensor (ear clip) to
the ear lobe so that the two contact surfaces
sit entirely on the skin. The heart symbol indisplay window 1 starts blinking to
indicate that the ear clip is properly attached
and functional!
Warning!
Strong light sources, like sunlight, halogen
projectors or neon lamps, and also ear piercing
or ear rings, and the intake of beta-blocker
could affect the measurements!
The wireless Cardio sensor chest band
(see the figure to the right), available as an
optional accessory (order number 90 91 015),
permits more precise measurements.
( See page T 1 )
You will find a precise description of the display
and the meaning of the corresponding display
symbols on page 6 (Displaying pulse status).
All ergo_bike ergometers are equipped with a built-in, not visible from the outside, Cardio pulse receiver.
This allows receiving of the pulse rate transmitted by any standard chest band, of the coded and noncoded type. You only need a cardio sensor chest band (see page T1) to achieve wireless heart rate
measurement.
Warning: using two chest bands simultaneously in the same room, either of the coded or noncoded type, to achieve wireless heart rate measurement can lead to the display of a wrong pulse
rate on the dashboard of the ergo_bike.

Pulse measurement over the hand surface
The sensors built in the handle are used to control and monitor the pulse rate over short periods of time. To
achieve a correct measure you should lay your hands relaxed and loose (not tight) on the electrodes. The
electrical resistance of the skin varies as a consequence of blood pressure variations due to heart pulses.
These variations are measured by the electrodes and displayed as heart rate on the dashboard.
Advice:
If measuring the pulse rate over the hand electrodes gives no results, we recommend using
either the ear clip method or the Cardio sensor chest band. The variations of the electrical
resistance of the skin are so small for some persons that they cannot be used to acquire any
usable results.

About the Watt upper limit
If an upper limit for the load in Watt is entered, then the pulse controlled programs will raise the
load up to this limit. No further increase of the load will occur when the entered limit is reached,
even if the pulse rate did not yet reach the target value. This also applies to all types of programs
(watt, speed, manual, RPM, etc.), as the load in watt will not exceed the value entered for the limit.
About the pulse rate
Users should preferably consult a physician to determine the reasonably
acceptable personal pulse rate.
(see also page 7 / Table and diagram of the target pulse rate)
Rule of thumb to
determine the pulse rate limit:
The warns you when the limit pulse rate is exceeded and the danger
ergo_bike
zone is reached, by displaying a blinking arrow in window no. 1, and by an additional
beep sound when you enter the alarm zone.
(see pages 6 and 7 / aerobic pulse zone and target pulse rate)
for burning fat
for endurance training
160 - ( minus ) age = pulse rate
200 - ( minus ) age = pulse rate

Preparing for training
Setting up the personal data and alarm levels
2.0 Data entry and alarm levels set up
The dashboard of the ergo_bike permits the entry of personal alarm levels for pulse rate, upper watt limit,
training time, distance and burned KJoule. When an alarm level is reached during training, a beep signal is
sounded and the corresponding limit arrow is displayed. If you continue training, the beep signal stops, and
only the arrow indicates that the corresponding alarm has been reached.
If the alarm level of the pulse rate is reached or exceeded, the ergo_bike reduces automatically the braking
power in five watts per second increments until the actual pulse rate falls below the alarm level.
The entry of the age is mandatory for the display of the aerobic pulse zone for the user.
(see page 6)
The manual program must be selected before the entry of the data or alarm levels, otherwise
the entry of the pulse rate level will be skipped.

Training
Introduction
The ergo_bike makes it possible to define and control the exercise sequence yourself. It is thus
possible to adapt constantly the training plan to the capacities of the user. This device is suitable for
therapeutic use. It does not meet the requirements of medical and diagnostic usage
(in medical clinics).
This ergometer has been essentially designed for endurance, agility and physical condition training and
for strengthening the heart and circulation systems and to help develop the muscular mass. The goal of
such training is to increase the capacity of the body to absorb oxygen, and to improve its overall flexibility.
The inclusion of the pulse rate in the parameters used to control the loading enables training in
the efficient aerobic zone.
Being in the aerobic zone means the muscles loading is at the exact level where they can be adequately
supplied with oxygen without overproduction of lactic acid (aching muscles). Therefore, the ergometer
bike is also a great value for sports medicine and physical education.
The fact that the training effort can be finely measured, gives you
the possibility to carry out physical stress tests to get information
on your physical condition. You can thus identify early any heart
and circulation problems and, with the help of a physician, set up
a special endurance training plan to treat them.
A confortable and relaxed sitting posture are of great
significance for the efficiency and the benefit of the
ergo_bike. You should not be tensed up while training.
You should wear loose sport clothes so that you don't
get into sweat too easily and are not constricted. Your
back should be straight (as opposed to the racing
posture, see fig. B), and your legs should still be
slightly bent at the lower pedal position. This posture
is illustrated in figure A. You should adjust the handlebar
and saddle height and inclination to suit your needs.
Sport physicians recommend preparing for training with relaxing
exercises, which can be followed by some stretching. exercises.
Any user who does not feel completely fit, considering either
the health or physical aptitude aspect, should prepare himself before
training with the ergometer, or consult a physician if in doubt

Training properly
Training properly means to load the body reasonably,
in order to achieve the required fitness level
and to retain it.
A lower load will not bring the required effect, while overloading can be dangerous!
Training units per week
Generally speaking, training twice a week will help retain your physical condition.
To improve your fitness level you must train at least three or four times per week.
You should consult a physician before increasing the number of weekly training units,
to avoid overloading yourself.

Safety information
Information about personal safety
The ergo_bike ergometer is intended for use by adults. It is not a toy.
Children should only be allowed to train with the ergometer under
adult supervision.
Persons suffering from any of the following diseases should consult their family physician or
a specialist before starting training with the ergo_bike.
Heart disorders like angina pectoris, coronary thrombosis, stenosis, high blood pressure
Diabetes
Respiratory disorders like asthma, chronic bronchitis, etc.
Rheumatism
Gout
or any other disease or illness
You should never train when you feel ill or weak (your own body is often the best sensor).
If a user starts feeling ill or weak, he or she must immediately stop the training, relax
and consult a physician.
Persons who are not used to exercise, and are not used to providing a physical effort
regularly must start with an easy training program, and then increase the load very gradually.
Persons with declared health problems must evaluate their personal risks with the help
of their family physician.
You should never use the ergo_bike to find out your maximum degree of physical
endurance by setting the load in Watt and your pulse rate too high.
This can have serious consequences on your health!!!
The ergo_bike is suitable for therapeutic utilization
(it complies with Class A DIN EN 957-1/5 / formerly DIN 32932/A ).
(It does not meet the requirements for medical diagnosis usage in medical clinics.)
Note
You will find more information about training for sport and health in the pocket book
“Training with the bike ergometer” Improvement of health and fitness as training target
with the ergo_bike.
You should pay attention to providing good training conditions, this includes choosing the
training room and installation place. Makeshift installation places do not incite to training!

Fitness mark / fitness evaluation
Fitness mark
The can carry out an evaluation your fitness. The measurement principle is based on the
ergo_bike
fact that the pulse rate falls faster within the first minute following the training session for healthy, welltrained users than for healthy, less trained users.
If the user presses the Fitness key during a training session, the present training will be interrupted and
the load will be lowered to 25 Watt within 3 to 4 sec. The graphical screen will display the message
“Fitness mark evaluation”. The drop in pulse rate within 60sec will be measured (see window no. 2)
and the mark computed according to the following scheme and displayed:
The fitness mark F1 is awarded for a pulse rate drop of more than 25.0% within 60 sec
The fitness mark F2 is awarded for a pulse rate drop of 20.0% to 24.9% within 60 sec
The fitness mark F3 is awarded for a pulse rate drop of 16.0% to 19.9% within 60 sec
The fitness mark F4 is awarded for a pulse rate drop of 12.0% to 15.9% within 60 sec
The fitness mark F5 is awarded for a pulse rate drop of 8.0% to 11.9% within 60 sec
The fitness mark F6 is awarded when the pulse rate drop is less than 8% within 60 sec
The mark of “F0” is awarded if no usable result can be measured.
The training program resumes at the actual position after the evaluation process. The load in Watt is
raised within 3 to 4 seconds to its value just before the evaluation and the training can be continued.
A fitness evaluation is not possible after the training session is finished.
Fitness evaluation process
A pulse measuring device (pulse sensor / ear clip or the cardio sensor chest band) must be
connected and functional during the whole fitness evaluation process.
The measuring process takes one minute and its progress is displayed.
1.Train at least 15 minutes in the OK-area (see page 6).
Continue pedalling “loosely” at the load of 25 Watt during the 60 sec measurement process.

Relaxing
The relaxation function
The relaxation function is a Biofeedback-process that is carried out by measuring the electrical
resistance of the skin. The measured values are indicated by means of optical and audio signals.
Biofeedback is thus the translation into perceptible signals of physiological processes occurring in
our body, which our senses can barely, or not at all, perceive.
The relaxation function is the ergo_bike's way of helping you relax and eliminate stress.
You should use this option particularly after a physical endurance training.
Connecting the relaxation sensor
1.
Take the velcro bands of the fingers' sensor out of the package and open them.
Place the open tape on one of your fingertip (e.g. index finger). Make sure there is good
2.
contact between the silver buttons and your skin. The wires from the tape should lead
away from the back of your hand.
3.
Put down the side of the velcro tape with the
sensor button on your finger and wrap the

Cardio Program / C
This program is specially developed for efficient heart and blood circulation training.
The braking power (Watt) is automatically regulated, so that the pulse rate set by the user
remains constant during the whole training session.
Select the program (see page 26) “Standard selection steps”
e.g. preset
The OK display indicates that the pulse rate does not exceed
the preselected pulse rate by more than five pulses.

cardio pulse rate
The up pointing arrow indicates that the pulse rate is lower
than the preselected cardio rate.
The down pointing arrow indicates that the pulse rate is
higher than the preselected pulse rate by more than five
pulses. In this case the braking power (Watt) will be reduced
by 10 Watt / 15 seconds continually until the preselected
cardio pulse rate is again achieved.
Running the Cardio-Program C
Select the user identification number (see page 5)
Put on the pulse sensor (see page 11)
Select the Cardio-Program C (see page 26)
Set the required heart pulse rate, then press control button No. 6
Start pedaling
The selected heart pulse rate remains stored even after the ergo_bike is switched off.
The braking power (Watt) will be automatically raised until the target heart pulse rate is reached. Well-
trained users have the possibility to reduce the time needed to reach the target pulse rate by turning
control button No. 6 to raise the braking power (Watt).
Window no. 5 first displays 25 Watt, which are then raised by five Watts every 15 seconds untilthe
required heart pulse rate is reached. Then the braking power (Watt) is automatically regulated to
the value that keeps the pulse rate at the selected value.
Window no. 4 displays a “P” and a number between
80 and 199, the prescribed training pulse rate.

Accessory / “swing feet”
The oscillating movements occurring naturally with
real bikes cannot normally be reproduced when
training on an ergometer. These movements
include balancing movements or back and forth
oscillations. The rigid construction, and the fixed
feet used to support the device prevent any
dynamic movement.
Also, heavy training would eventually lead to
overloading the frame and mounting parts.
Squeaking noises are a typical consequence
of such overloads.
g
n
i
w
s
The swing feet technology was developed to address this shortcoming. This is done by
partially absorbing the dynamic load generated by the “biking” effort, and allowing the typical
“biker's oscillation”. Thus, the user experiences the natural biking swing with the
corresponding dynamic balance behaviour.
Moreover, noises and shocks are reduced, and frictional loadings to the floor are minimized.

It is possible for the elasticity to drop or be insufficient if the swing feet (left SF/right SF)
are used for an extended period, or when an overweight person uses them.
If the user is overweight (more than 100 kg), then the bike should be used with the
standard feet (2/2a), i. e. without swing feet, or with the optional larger reinforced
swing feet.
Therefore we recommend doing an evaluation of the elasticity of the swing feet upon
reception and at regular intervals. The plastic feet (3/3a) must never touch the floor
while training. If this is not the case, then the micro-cellular rubber pads (4) are
worn out and the swing feet must be replaced. If the user is too overweight, then he/she
should exercise only with the standard feet (2/2a), i. e. without the swing feet.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage done to the floor as a consequence
of installing the ergometer. The user must carefully choose the location for installing
the ergometer such that no damage is inflicted on the floor. If in doubt, we recommend
installing an appropriate base (underlay).

When using the ergo_bike without the swing feet
on an uneven floor, use a screw driver to adjust
the pin of the front standard feet (see fig C.1) to
achieve an even stand.
The rear standard feet (2a) are equipped with roller casters to ease moving the ergometer. When the
swing feet are installed, (left SF/right SF) the device must be raised to a relatively steep angle
(approx. 75 /Fig. D) to bring the roller casters in contact with the floor. Without swing feet raising
the frame to an angle of approx. 15 (Fig. D.1) is enough.

2. Mounting instructions for the handle column
Required parts:
Required tools:
2.1
First the preassembled basic device should be put down in such a way as to leave enough room for you to
move around it, specially in front and on the left side.
2.2
The dashboard cable (3) is already installed in the handle
column (2) at the factory. In order to avoid wedging or
jamming the cable when mounting the column, the
connector at the lower end of the column should
protrude by only a small (short) length!
2.3
The holder (LSH) of the handle column (2) is located under
the tilted housing cover (18).
the handle column in the holder, it
in the proper orientation,
between the holder curved plates (LSH1 & 2) that are located
under the housing, until it stops. (See figures 1 and 2)
We recommend performing this operation with the help of a
second person. This second person can then insert the
recessed head screws (F) with their washers (G) through
the opening (on the left side) and screw them in the holder (LSH).
Do not yet tighten the two M10 fastening screws that are already
in the two curved plates LSH1 and LSH2 on the left and right sides
(FS1 on the left side and FS2 on the right side)! These screws
are installed loosely (not tight) at the factory and must not exert
any pressure on the column (2) during the mounting process!

After the exact positioning of the column is achieved, the M10 screws (F) on the left of the column holder
(LSH1) must be firmly tightened with the supplied SW8 Allen wrench. Only then, you can tighten the fastening
screws (FS1 and FS2) to prevent bending the column.
The fastening screw (FS2) is located behind the perforated
plate (22) on the right side. Insert the SW8 Allen wrench
through the opening, covered with a cap (22a) to get to
the screw FS2.
Check the tightening of the holder screws (F) after you
tighten the screws (FS1 & FS2). If needed, you must
tighten them one more time!
2.7
The trapezoidal perforated plate (23) is attached to the
frame by mean of two pressure clips (23a). (See
illustrations four & 5) Its top side is inserted into the
housing cover (18) and the clips are pressed into position
on its bottom (23b). It is then easily removed, without
removing any part of the housing, to allow easy access

Mounting the dashboard
The dashboard unit (4.1) is preassembled with the carrier plate (5),
3.2
the clamp (8.1) attached to that plate, and the handle (7) with
the integrated hand pulse sensors (7a) (including the connection
cable 7b). First insert the clamp (8.1) into the lateral slots at
the upper end of the column (2), without fastening, to position
the whole unit. You might need to exert some pressure to insert
the rear tongue (8a) of the clamp because of tolerances or
the paint layer thickness.
You must pay attention to avoid jamming the
cable (3) in the handle column (2)!
We recommend pulling the cable (3) to the left (when
looking at the rear side of the dashboard) and upward,
beside the spacer sleeve of the fastening screw (C) of
the rear tongue (8a) of the clamp. You may only release
the handle (7) after you have tightened both of the M8 recessed
head screws (C) with their washers (D) in order to secure
a stable stand on the column (2). Unscrew the front screw (8b)
attaching the complete dashboard unit (4.1) to the handle (7) until
the handle (7) starts moving freely and falls to its front stop
position due to its own weight.
Plug the black connector (CS) of the dashboard cable (3)
3.3
to the corresponding black socket (CS-2) on the circuit
board (within the lower opening in the housing and
the protective plate). Then pthe white connector (HS)
of the hand pulse cable (7b), which is connected to the hand
pulse sensors (7a), to the corresponding white socket (HS-2)
within the same opening in the housing.
3.4
After plugging the cable connectors in the
rear side of the dashboard, raise the dashboard
holder (6) all the way up. Align carefully the
dashboard cables (3 & 7b) very closely to
the clamp (8a) in the area of the holder.
Please pay extra attention to avoid
jamming the cables in the narrow
passages within the dashboard holder
and between the carrier plate (5) and
the holder (6)!
The dashboard holder (6) is attached to
3.5
the dashboard housing (4.1) by pressing
the clip on the front. Additionally, you can
screw two small self-boring screws (H) with
washers (J) through the protective plate (5) into
the dashboard housing (4.1).
3.6
Finally, screw the tensing lever (6a) with
its washer (E) to fasten the handle (7).
Bring the handle (7) to the required position
within its adjusting range and then fasten it
using the tensing lever (6a).
Follow the same steps in reverse order
to disassemble the dashboard unit.

Fine Tuning
Fine Tuning
A comfortable and relaxed sitting posture is crucial for ensuring that training with
the ergo_bike be effective and useful. Just like riding a bike, your back should
be straight and your legs should bend slightly at the knee when the pedals reach
their lowest point. This posture is illustrated in the drawing to the right.
The position of the handle, the height and inclination of the saddle and its position
must be adjusted to fit the user.
6. Adjusting Saddle Height
Loosen the tommy head (12a) on the saddle column (12) by one to two turns.
6.1
Hold the saddle (13) firmly and pull the spring loaded tommy head (12a) out.
6.2
Either pull the saddle holder (12) with the saddle (13) up or push
6.3
it down to bring it to the required position.
6.4
Release the tommy head button (12a) and pull or push the saddle
holder (12) carefully until the tommy head button (12a) engages,
with a click sound, in the corresponding hole of the saddle
column (12). This engagement is visibly indicated by the red
button (12b) plunging into the tommy head button (12)! The red
button (12b) must not be sticking out of the tommy head! If this
is the case, then it indicates that the safety lock of the tommy
head (12a) is not properly engaged in the corresponding hole
of the saddle column!
Turn the tommy head button (12a) and tighten it firmly after the red
6.5
button (12b) engages.
7. Adjusting Saddle Angle and Position
The saddle angle is adjusted to ensure a confortable seating.
7.1
The saddle angle should nevertheless help support a correct
body posture while training.
Loosen both the right and left nuts located under the
7.2
saddle (13) using the 14mm wrench, and bring the saddle
to the required angle by applying slight pressure.
7.3
Make a “sitting trial” very carefully, and if needed adjust the
saddle (13) again until it is in the adjusted as required. Then
tighten both of the right and left side nuts again.
7.4
The sitting position can be adjusted by mean of the sliding rail (12e)
of the saddle holder. This adjustment is to be carried out individually
through “sitting tests”. Loosen the tommy head (12b) underneath
the sliding rail and slide the saddle (13) to the required horizontal position.
After adjusting the saddle position retighten the tommy head (12b) firmly.

Maintenance
Cleaning / Care
Cleaning outside surface
Wet a soft cloth with water and use it to clean the ergo_bike. A light soap solution may
also be used to wet the cloth.
Wipe the surface applying light pressure. While wiping the dashboard or the perforated
plate cover, be careful not to apply too much pressure to prevent water from entering the
dashboard or the device.
Do not use any strong or corrosive cleaning solution, or one containing
solvent, like, e.g., alcohol, stain remover, petrol, metal polish, etc.
We recommend using a commercial antistatic, either in liquid or spray form, to neutralize
the strong static charge generated while cleaning. Specially on the large plastic and transparent side panels of the high end ergo_bike models.
Sweat is an extremely aggressive fluid, which attacks paint as well as metal
and electronic parts. Therefore, care should be taken not to let sweat drop on
the device, or otherwise it should be carefully removed after training.
Damage caused by sweat is not covered by the warranty!
The ergo_bike is not completely sealed against sweat infiltrations.
Clean the sheath covering of the handle carefully with a mild soap solution.
Drive V belt
The ergo_bike is a belt driven ergometer. This means that the force applyied to the pedals is
transmitted by a V-belt to the drive unit. The advantage of this is that the ergo_bike runs very
quietly and smoothly.
V-belts eventually wear out and must be replaced when this is the case. If you feel a slip in the drive
while training, the reason could be a worn out V-belt.
Noises
The ergo_bike ergometers are equipped with quality ball bearings and silent belt drive.
Still, it is unavoidable that you hear a few remaining noises in the range of up to LpA 52 dB (decibel).
Squeaking and cracking noises are generally caused by the loosening of the screws attaching
the pedal rods (arms), the pedals, the feet or the dashboard support column.

Maintenance
Simple Maintenance and Service Activities
About the V-belt
The driving surfaces of the drive and the V-belt pulley are covered with a rubber layer by
the manufacturer.
This favors the development of an optimal fitting of the V-belt into the grooves of the driving
pulley during the first 500 - 1000 kilometers.
During this fitting-in process, the belt will loose the excess rubber, which will be visible in the form of
black powder deposits. You can remove this deposit using a small brush or a vacuum cleaner
(particularly for the transparent ergo_bike models).
The V-belt is easily replaced. This maintenance operation can be performed by users with
manual skills.
If you have difficulties obtaining a replacement V-ribbed belt for your ergo_bike,
you can order one directly from the manufacturer: daum electronic GmbH.
Replacing the V-belt
Required tools:
M 12 hexadecimal head bolt or recessed head bolt (commercially available)

Maintenance
Exchanging the Dashboard / Replacing the Battery
It is possible to replace or disassemble the complete top part of the dashboard, for all models, in the case that
the display windows, the membrane switch, the control button, or the circuit board located underneath it malfunctions or simply
to replace the battery. The disassembly is a relatively easy operation and is done as described below.
Required tools:
Unplug the power cord!
1.
(For your personal safety and to protect the sensitive electronic parts inside
the dashboard)
2.
The top part of the dashboard is secured to the bottom part by mean of 4 Phillips
screws (A, B, C, D). Use an appropriate screwdriver to unscrew these screws from
underneath the dashboard. (See the figure to the right) Please note that the
screws C & D are located toward the outward border and are deeply recessed in
the dashboard bottom part. Do not unscrew the nearby located screws (X)!
Then you can remove the top part of the dashboard very carefully. First open
3.
the dashboard housing by raising it from the higher side slightly and grasp (hold)
with both hands underneath the top shell of the dashboard. Raise the higher part
of the dashboard top shell fruther until the lower side separates from the dashboard
support. Be careful to raise the top shell of the dashboard housing only until you feel
a slight resistance from the cables (K1 and K2) that are connected from underneath,
and until you can reach the connectors (CS black & HS white) on the circuit board with
your thumb and index finger.
You must unplug both connectors (CS and HS ). Never pull on the cables
4.
to unplug them!! This would tear them off! Unlock the connector by
pressing on the lock clip and pull it gently from the receptacle. (See figure 4).
Sometimes the lock clip will be removed from the connector at the factory.

corresponding color until they lock in position. Then pull carefully the two cables (K1 and K2) through the opening of the
bottom part of the dashboard and the dashboard support and take care not to jam the cables when you reinstall the top part
of the dashboard on the bottom part.
6.
When reinstalling the top part of the dashboard top shell, first lock the lower end with the dashboard support and then lower
it onto the dashboard bottom part.
7.
Screw the removed housing screws (A, B, C, D) from underneath the dashboard and tighten them.
8.
You can know plug the power cord, turn on the ergometer and test its operation.
Battery replacement (button cell)
The button cell battery is located on the underside of the circuit board of the dashboard, at the lower end to the right (close to
the printed circuits). Replace this battery when you notice a loss of time and date on the system clock. Therefore you must
disassemble the dashboard top part as described above at steps 1 to 3, separate it from the bottom part of the dashboard, and
reassemble them in reverse sequence.

Technical Information
Special Accessories
Special Accessory
The Cardio sensor chest band measures your
pulse rate directly above the heart and transmits
the data directly to the integrated wireless cardio pulse
receiver. The location of the
chest band and transmitter directly above the heart
enables very accurate pulse rate measurement.
The data is wirelessly transmitted to the computer
of the ergo_bike.
Pulse rate measurement using the Cardio Sensor chest band is particularly useful when exact values
are required. This can be the case if your physician
needs the data of your training sessions with the ergometer in the context of a treatment.
All ergo_bike ergometers are equipped with a built-in Cardio pulse rate receiver, not visible from the outside.
This allows receiving of the pulse rate transmitted by any standard chest band, of the coded and non coded type.
You only need a cardio sensor chest band to achieve wireless heart pulse rate measurement.

The chest band is available from daum electronic gmbh;Order no. 90 91 015.
Putting on and using the Cardio Sensor chest band
1.
Remove your upper body clothing or pull your shirt up
to uncover the area of the heart. Your skin should be
slightly moist, but not wet. If your skin is too wet, dry it
with a towel, if it is too dry, moisten the inside (contact
surface) of the chest band slightly.
2. The sensor chest band with the transmitter in
the middle has surface recesses at both ends.
The elastic band is fitted with round locking
toggles at both ends. Insert one of the toggles
through one of the square holes in the sensor band. Turn the toggle 90 and press it firmly into the recess.
Wireless Cardio Sensor Chest Band
Order no. 90 91 015
3.
Hold the Cardio sensor chest band over your chest.
Pull the elastic band around your back and fasten the other toggle into the opening on the other side of the sensor band.
4.
There is a buckle on the elastic band, enabling you to adjust it. To obtain a comfortable fit, hold the buckle firmly and pull out
5.
a section of the band.
Adjust the pulse sensor band so that the thicker part of the band, which contains the sensor and transmitter, lies on the chest
6.
directly above your heart.
Warning: using two chest bands simultaneously in the same room, either of the coded or non-coded type,
to achieve wireless heart rate measurement can lead to the display of a wrong pulse rate on the dashboard
of the ergo_bike.
The button type battery should be replaced when you note a loss of battery power.
Simply remove the battery cover using a coin and replace the battery with an
equivalent new one.

Glossary
Aching muscles
Painful phenomenon of the muscles tissues, occurring when the aerobic zone is exceeded leading to an
overproduction of lactic acid. In order to avoid it, the ergo_bike compares measured data, input parameters
and statistical values and displays the resulting aerobic zone status.
Aerobic zone
The training phase during which the load on the muscles is enough to keep them supplied with oxygen,
but not enough to cause an overproduction of lactic acid (aching muscles). Aerobics also makes use of
the aerobic zone.
Bio-Feedback
Acoustic and/or optical feedback on the metabolism and condition of the body.
Calorie (abbrev.: cal)
Energy measurement unit. Officially obsolete, but still in common use. It refers to thermal energy in
particular. The conversion factor to the unit in use today (J): 1 cal = 4.1868 J, or the other way
around 1 J = 0.2388 cal
Eddy current brake
Uses the fact that electric currents induced in a conductor by a fluctuating magnetic field produce joule-type
energy which can be used for an electronically controlled brake.
Energy balance
The balance between energy intake and energy usage. There can only be a balance if intake
and output are the same. For example, in Germany every person consumes on average 400 - 500 Kcal
more than he or she can use.
Joule (abbrev.: J ) 1 KJoule = 1000 Joules
Energy measurement unit, named after the british physicist James Prescott Joule. (see calorie)

General Recommendations
What to do, if ...?
In the case of a failure ................... what to do if...?
All ergo_bike ergometers undergo a detailed test before they are shipped.
Should you, in spite of this, face a functional failure, the following recommendations should tell you what to do.
General procedure to identify the cause of a failure
The ergo_bike ergometers consist essentially of two functional units
- the dashboard and the drive unit.
The drive unit is located inside the device, behind the saddle column. It contains the power supply, the
eddy current brake and the related electronic circuits.
The dashboard contains the electronic circuits used for system control, display and data processing.
The dashboard and the drive unit communicate via a cable, which is routed through the handle support column, and
is equipped with connectors at the dashboard, at the drive unit and in the handle column.
Should the assembled ergo_bike fail to function, the defect would generally be found either on the dashboard,
the drive unit or the cable connecting them.
The most frequent cause of complaint turns out to be jamming the connecting cable during the assembly process of
the ergo_bike, or not properly plugging the cable connector.
In the event of a failure, check carefully first if
The cable connector found on the lower end of the handle support column is properly connected, and that
the cable was not jammed or cut when the handle support column was mounted on the frame. To do this you need
to disassemble the handle support column.
The cable was not jammed or cut while mounting the handle on the support column, or if
the cable connector to the circuit board inside the dashboard is loose.
To do this you need to disassemble the dashboard.
Fastening screws
All the fastening screws must be tightened from time to time. We recommend tightening them at least after the first
50 km and then once every 500 km.
Contacting your dealer or the service department of the ergo_lyps
If the cause of the failure could not be identified, you should contact your dealer
or our repair hotline (telephone number 0190 / 770 383 - a fee of 1.48 Euro per min. applies).
We need the following information:
1. The device number (this number is on the silver label on the lower part of the frame).
2. The dashboard version number (switch the device on and press the red reset key once, then immediately press
the control button. The number is displayed in display window 2 while the control button is pressed).
3. The proof of purchase and the device reference sheet.
4. ergo_bike ergometers have a built-in failure diagnostic system, which signals device functionality using a red
and a yellow LED. These LEDs are located under the rounded perforated plate cover, in the upper part (to
the right side looking in the front direction). You can them from outside (through the grid). With the device
switched on, the yellow LED should blink when pedalling slowly, and blink faster when pedalling fast.
With the device switched on, the red LED should light with high intensity when pedalling
against a low load, and decrease in intensity as the load increases.
Please inform us of the status of these LEDs for all complaints concerning “the device is
not braking” or “the device is not braking properly.” This enables us to draw relatively concrete
conclusions about the cause of the failure.
If you wish to obtain more information on your device, please visit our service and repair hints web site on Internet
at www.daum-electronic.de. By entering the password “ergo-service” you gain access to an area reserved
to ergo_bike owners where you will find additional detailed service hints. You can also call our service and repair
hotline (telephone number 0190 / 770 383 - a fee of 1.48 Euro per min. applies).

General Recommendations
What to do, if ...?
Software Failure / Loss of Dashboard Control
All computer controlled appliances have one undesirable
characteristic in common that is that the normal software
operation can sometime fail for generally unknown reasons.
This situation is generally described by the expression
“the system has frozen”. Should the dashboard operation
fail and cannot be restored by mean of normal keys functions,
then the solution would be to press the recessed
RESET key (No. 18) underneath the dashboard with
a pointed tool (e.g. a pencil or ball pen).
Please note that all the personal data,
and all training data and results will
be definitively lost when you press
the RESET key!!
Noises
ergo_bike ergometers are equipped with quality ball bearings and a silent belt drive. However, it cannot
be avoided that remaining noises be heard, which are in the range of LpA 52 dB (decibel).
The squeaking noises generally originate from:
- Loosening of the screws used to fasten the pedal rods
- The pedals
- The screws fastening the feet or handle column.
These screws must be tightened every 500 km!!
Notes about the pulse alarm
If you enter the age of the user under “Age”, and a pulse limit value that should not be exceeded under
“pulse higher limit” in the “Data entry and alarm levels set up”mode (see pages 14 to 17), then
the alarm will always sound whenever
- the aerobic zone corresponding to the age of the user is exceeded
(see page 7)
and
- the value entered under “pulse higher limit” is reachd (see pages 14 to 17)
If you want the alarm to sound only when the pulse limit value entered
under “pulse higher limit” is reached, you should enter zero as the user age under “Age”!!
.
RESET key
recessed
Drive / Braking unit (eddy current brake)
If a major failure is detected on the drive unit, it is possible to replace the complete unit. The braking unit,
which consists of the flywheel, a transformer, a belt tensioning device and the mounting plate, is mounted
with only three screws.
You can order an exchange unit from daum electronic GmbH. The defective unit can then be relatively
easily replaced with the new one, without requiring any adjustment, by your dealer or a bike mechanic.
The flywheel of the ergo_bike is equipped with two journal bearings. These bearings continue to run
for a little while after you stop pedalling. Feeling a light drag on the pedals is then normal. The journal
bearings should be lubricated with Klüberplex BEM 34-132 grease every about 3000km (if the drag on
the pedals increases and becomes uncomfortable), depending on the load.
