Miscelleaneous

This ergometer bike 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/-5 Class SA/HA standard, the ergo_bike is suited for a therapeutic utilisation (It does not meet the requirements for medical diagnosis usage in medical clinics). An important aspect, and therefore an identifying feature, of an ergometer is the fact that the required pedalling resistance in watt can be prescribed. This pedalling resistance will be maintained irrespective of the pedalling speed (as shown on the diagram of page 33).

This means that the user can work out under a steady load at various speeds, and unconstrained by the speed. The advantage being that the user cannot unknowingly be subjected to a wrong load.

At the heart of the ergo_bike is the full electronically controlled, maintenance free, eddy current brake, which adjusts the braking load to fit the users personal requirements based on the computed data, and which allows load setting continuously from 20 to 600 Watt.

The ergo_bike premium8i is thus more than just a Home Trainer, since it can be used for sportive and therapeutic objectives.

The user

Please read the user manual carefully before starting to use the training device. The user manual should be kept in the direct vicinity of the ergo_bike premium8i. It is an integral component of the device.

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).

Notes From the Manufacturer to the User

The device is not protected against the infiltration of liquids. Direct contact with humidity or liquids must absolutely be avoided. Care must be taken to wipe out sweat drops after training (sweat attacks paint and plastic parts) Damages caused by sweat are not covered by the warranty

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.

Wireless 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. We recommend using the wireless pulse rate measure !

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!

Relax-Function

The relax-function is a biofeedback-process that is measured over the electrical resistance of the skin. Biofeedback is thus the translation into perceptible signals of physiological processes occurring in our body whose values are indicated by means of optical signals.

The ergo_bike controls the relaxation process by means of the relax-function, and highlights the process of stress elimination after a physical fitness training or other loading.

The displayed relax value drops gradually with increasing relaxation level and increases with the increase of stress level. You can assist this process by getting off the device and sit in a relaxed position, or even lay down, close to the ergo_bike and calm down.

Fitness Test and Fitness Mark

The fitness test can be executed anytime during training. A pulse rate measuring device (pulse sensor, ear clip, or chest strap) must be connected and functional, and the training should had already started at least 10 minutes earlier.

The measurement principle is based on the fact that the pulse rate falls faster within one minute (following a load period) for well-trained users than for less trained users. Fitness marks from 1 to 6 are assigned. The lower the fitness mark the better is the training status (fitness) of the user.

When the fitness test is started during training, the present training will be interrupted and the load will be lowered to minimum value for the device for a short period of time. During this pause the system measures the drop in pulse rate within a period of 60 seconds and computes a fitness mark. Afterwards the training resumes automatically at the interrupted position, and the load in Watt is raised to its previous value.
