This treadmill ergometer is specially designed for health and endurance training.
High quality manufacturing, an easy to read dashboard, and ease of use and of
maintenance contribute to make this appliance an ideal training device for sport
and fitness training. We would also stress that the complete equipment list and
the convincing performance range appeal to athletes and fitness conscious
persons of every age group.
Introduction
Designed and manufactured in conformity with the DIN EN 957 1/-6 Class
SA/HA standard, the ergo_run is suited for a therapeutic utilisation (It does not
meet the requirements for medical diagnosis usage in medical clinics).
The operating principle of the treadmill ergometer is based on a moving surface,
whose variable inclination can be definitely set. This physiological load can be
expressed in finite values.
The ergo_run adjusts itself to the users personal requirements.
The training intensity is controlled by adjusting the speed or the inclination, or
both parameters combined, under constant control of the heart rate frequency.
The ergo_run premium8 is thus more than just a Home Trainer, since it can
be used for sportive and therapeutic objectives.

to the physical condition of the user. If the belt is stopped (e.g. by pressing the
Stop button or through the Emergency Stop feature, because of a power failure,
etc) and if at this moment the inclination is set to positive value, the weight of
the user combined with the gravity will cause an acceleration of the belt.
During a training the Emergency Stop implements must always be within reach
of the user.
The Emergency Stop implements are only to be used in case of hazard or falling
down risks.
Do never step on the rear return cylinder (running belt extremity); this could set
the belt in motion. Falling risk!
The lateral and rear areas of the running belt and the lifting
mechanism have dangerous nipping points and slots. Users

User Safety
When coupling many devices to a test site care must be taken to avoid any
danger arising from the summation of the leakage currents and to ensure the
potential equalisation is effected through a common current (power) supply (e.g.
a wall socket-outlet). If you have any questions please ask your dealer or the
service department of daum electronic gmbh.
If a socket with multiple outlets is installed after the initial start-up, no other
device may be connected to this socket. (use covers on the multiple sockets)
An electrical shock hazard exists when touching devices that are not separately
grounded.
Defective or faulty devices and accessories may not be used.
The personal computer and all other connected devices (e.g. monitor, printer,
etc) must be installed at least 1.5m away from the training place, because
leakage currents could be generated on the housing (or use separate grounding,
housing leakage current).

EMERGENCY STOP Safety Rope
The ergo_run premium8 is equipped with an Emergency Stop Safety Rope. This
rope guarantees that when the user/patient is about to fall or when the user/patient
runs too slowly the running belt will stop automatically.
The patient/user must therefore attach himself or herself to the safety rope
before starting a training session (Fig. 1). The length of the safety rope must be
adjusted in such a way that the Emergency Stop Function is surely executed
when
- the user is about to fall.
- before the user reaches the rear third section of the running belt.
When the Emergency Stop Safety Rope is pulled out, the running belt will resume
its operation when the Start key is pressed (dashboard console) after the safety
rope is reinstalled on the dashboard (Fig. 2).
Switching ON / Off
Please read the safety notes before switching the ergo_run premium8 on.
Insert the ergo_memo-card2 in the dashboard before switching the device on.
Use the green On/Off switch " I " on the front motor cover of the device to switch
it on and off. The switch is illuminated in the ON position.
EMERGENCY STOP switch
The Emergency Stop switch must be unlocked before you can use the ergo_run
premium8. To unlock it turn the red button to the left/right slightly.
On-/Off switch
Only then can you use a computer to save e.g. mp3 files (in the \mp3 folder)
or update files (in the \update folder) on the card.
For safety reasons you must pull (route) the power cord to
the front of the device, otherwise it may be cut (ruptured) by
the elevation control mechanism.
When switched on, the system takes about 1 minute to load the software. The
colour screen displays during this time a software load progress bar.
Wait for the beep signal before using the dashboard.
The interval period between turning OFF and ON the device
must always exceed 1 to 2 minutes. Otherwise the motor
controls may be damaged and/or the fuses may breakdown.
If the memory card is inserted after the device is switched on, then you must
wait for the beep signal. This can take about 5 seconds. (if the card is empty it
will be initialised)
In principle the memory card should be pulled out while you are not training or
only after the beep signal!
The protection slider on the ergo_memo-card2 must point to the bottom when
the card is inserted into the dashboard. This will make it possible to write to the
card.
If the slider points upward the card is locked/write protected.

Notes about Pulse Rate Measure
Ear Pulse Rate Measure
Every heart pulse modulates the light passing through the lobe, and can thus
be detected by an infrared sensor in the ear clip, and displayed as heart pulse
rate. The measure of the pulse rate over the ear is much more precise than the
measure over the hand sensor.
Please make sure that the ear clip is correctly put on:
1. Insert the connector into the Cardio socket.
2. You should rub the ear lobe to stimulate blood circulation.
3. Attach the ear clip to the ear lobe (the closest possible to the head). The
contact surfaces must sit entirely on the skin.
The scattering in the display of the pulse rate variability is larger than with the
wireless pulse measure (factor 2).
Note: Strong light sources, like sunlight, halogen projectors, and neon
lamps, and also ear piercing or ear rings, or the intake of beta-blocker
could affect the measurements.
Wirless Pulse Measure
The Cardio sensor chest strap transmits the pulse rate directly to the integrated
wireless Cardio pulse receiver in the device. This pulse measurement method
is the most precise.
Note: Your pulse rate will be correctly evaluated over the whole measuring
range only if you use a non-coded wireless pulse rate transmitter.
To ensure the maximum efficiency of the Cardio sensor strap, you should lightly
humidify the contact surfaces (inner side) of the chest strap before starting the
training.
Note: Using two chest straps simultaneously in the same room,
either of the coded or non-coded type, at about 1.5 meter from
the receiver, can lead to the display of a wrong pulse rate.
Note:
When you train without ergo_memo-card2 you will not have the possibility to
store training results.
When you train without pulse rate measure, the pulse rate will not be displayed!
