Notes about Software Update

The heart of the dashboard consists of a modern Flash ROM Processor

It allows upgrading all the software related functions, training
programs and fitness tests to the latest release,
even years from now.

The latest software is available for download at the ergo_bike
homepage on Internet and can be transfered to the dashboard
with the ergo_win 2002 PC program

You will find the instructions for this operation in the
that comes with

the software.

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 “vita 2002 pc de luxe”

The ergometer is thus more than a “Home Trainer”,
since it can be used for both sports and therapeutic objectives.

identification number

The ergo_bike computer will record, store and evaluate
the training data of up to four users separately.

Before using the equipment, you must assign

a user number to every user.

The following is an example of a possible number attribution scheme in a family:

Mother Father Daughter

User 1

User 2

Guest users, or any persons, whose training data will not be saved, should use identification
number “0”. When using this ID number the arrow pointing to User 1 to 4 will not
be displayed. Instead the number “0” is displayed under .

No training data will be saved for the “Guest” user when the ergo_bike is turned off!
However, the distance traveled in kilometers will be added to the total kilometer
counter (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.
(see page 16 / personal data / alarm levels / age entry )

If the user is training within the aerobic rate zone,
“ OK ” is displayed in window No. 1 (beside the blinking heart ).

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”!

If the braking power is reduced by, e.g., 50 Watt in the danger zone, and the value set for the next
program step is, e.g., 150 Watt, then the training will in fact be carried forward with a load
of 100 Watt, as will be shown in the Watt display (window No. 5). The computer makes this
adjustment as a safety measure.

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 in
display 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.

Preparing for training

Setting up the personal data and alarm levels

About the sex and height

This data completes the profile stored by the computer for each user. And even the minimal difference in
capacities due to the sex has an important impact.

About the weight

The weight has an important impact in the training for fitness improvement, and in the global physical activities.
The user should therefore enter this value consciously, in order for the training to be properly measured and
evaluated. The weight can be entered or adjusted daily (see page 56). Thus, the fitness evaluation function can
produce more precise data about the training results.

About the body fat content

You should use a good body fat analyser, available commercially, to determine the body fat content value. The
measured values (between 0% and 55%) can be entered daily in the computer of the (see page 56).
The default value (DF) is set at 30%.

About the personal performance evaluation

Here the user is required to evaluate his or her own performance capacities. The user must grade his
performance according to the following scale 0 -1 - 2 - 3. Where grade 0 means the user is a beginner and
grade 3 means the user is a very well trained sportsman. (See also the information about your own
performance evaluation on page H3 in the chapter about the Coaching program).

About the Watt upper limit

If an upper limit for the load in Watt is entered (devault value/ DF = 400 watt), 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 limit

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 zone is reached, by displaying

ergo_bike

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

About the duration of the training, distance and kJoule burned

These data / alarm value entries determine indirectly when a training program is terminated, i.e. when A - a time
limit, B - a distance limit or C - a limit value of kJoule to burn is reached.

ergo_bike

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.

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.
Therefore, the “Coaching” program will only make sense, and be usable, with more
than 3 training units 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.)

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 determination”. 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.

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.

process

The graphic screen displays a representation of the relaxation process. The displayed
line shows the transition from the maximal value (199) to the minimum relax value (0).
This process is also visible in window no. 5. The same process is presented in a graphical
form in window no. 6 (see illustration to the right).

The actual relax level is indicated by a blinking bar in
the display window

The complete relaxing process is divided into 25 levels. A short
beep sound signals when each level is achieved. The successive
beeps are each lower in tonality.

The wide down pointing arrow in Window no. 5
switches from Watt to Relax.
A value is displayed, which starts at 199.

The displayed value drops gradually as you relax after training,
and increases with the stress level.

The Relax-value can drop all the way to almost zero. The user should
therefor contribute to his/her relaxing and avoid any other stress.
You can support this process by getting off the device and sit in
a relaxed position, or lay down close to the ergo_bike and calm down.

Training Program

Several training programs are stored in the ergo_bike that help automate training sessions.

When running a program, the load will be adjusted, increased or decreased, depending on the
distance, pulse rate or even velocity, according to the watt values prescribed by that particular
program.

The table on page 24 lists the available programs on each ergo_bike model respectively.
