Product Information

Congratulations on your new Ergometer!

The Monark 894 E is an ergometer for anaerobic tests that also works as a normal traditional weight ergometer. It has a brake system where the workload is determined by weights added in the weight basket. The patented weight basket system does not require calibration, the precision of the weights ensures that the workload is correct. RPM-controlled release of weight basket and test duration up to 99 minutes increase safety and the potential for optimal tests.

The easy-to-use Windows-based software has more setting possibilities with clear presentation graphics. Thanks to double sensors, faster electronics and improved mechanics, performing anaerobic tests is now more efﬁcient and less complicated.

NOTE! Use of the product may involve considerable physical stress. It is therefore recommended that people who are not accustomed to cardiovascular exercise or who do not feel completely healthy, should consult a physician for advice.

Operating Instruction

Workload adjustment

Through pedalling the test person supplies kinetic energy to the ﬂywheel. The ﬂywheel is then braked by means of a brake belt/cord which runs around the ﬂywheel. The workload is changed either by using other pedalling speed or by increasing or decreasing the tension of the brake belt/cord against the ﬂywheel by place weights in the weight basket. Weights are available in 1 kg / 2.2 lb, 0,5 kg / 1.1 lb and 0,1 kg / 0.2 lb. This makes it possible to vary the workload from 1 kp up to maximum 11 kp in steps of 0,1 kp. Braking power is expressed in kp where mass 1 kg /

2.2 lb gives the braking force 1 kp.

NOTE! 1 kg /2.2 lbs is the lowest work load that can be set as this is the weight of the basket itself. A weight basket that only weighs 0,5 kg /1.1lb is available as an option. The weight basket can also be set in its upper free/resting position and does then not give any work load at all. The weight basket is released by pushing the release button(1), on the handlebar. See

Fig: Workload adjustment.

Power measurement

The cycle is designed to measure the power on the ﬂywheel, because tests/protocols are made for it (for example Åstrand’s and YMCA).

Cycle adjustments

Seat height should be adjusted to a comfortable position. The appropriate height is to have the knee slightly bent when the sole of the foot is centred over the pedal axle with the pedal in the bottom position. To adjust the seat height loosen the lever (1) on the seat tube. See Fig: Adjustments.

The handlebar setting should be in a comfortable position when cycling. During longer exercise sessions it is recommended to occasionally change handlebar position. To adjust the handlebar, loosen the quick release lever (2). See Fig: Adjustments.

NOTE! The handlebar stem should be inserted into the frame tube at least 3 inches (about 8 cm). This measure is marked with “MAX” on the stem (3).

Anaerobic testing

Model 894 E has a computer for anaerobic testing and makes the bike possible to connect to an external PC, PC-cable is included. A Windows application, included in the bike, makes it possible to make a lot of different type of anaerobic tests for ex. Wingate tests and so forth. The anaerobic tests can easily be set from 5 up to 300 seconds duration. For a closer explanation of the application look in the program manual, ”Monark Anaerobic Test Software User Manual”.

NOTE! To carry out anaerobic tests must cycle computer equipped with power from a wall outlet. Connect the supplied power adaptor into an appropriate wall outlet (230V). The circular connector on the secondary cable from the power adaptor is connected to the corresponding socket on the cycle under the instrument cover on the right side. PC cable is connected into the serial port underneath and to a serial port on an external PC. See Fig: Brake device in section ”Adjusting the break cord/belt tension”. The LED (2) on the front of the instrument panel, see ﬁg: Workload adjustments in section ”Workload device", indicates both that there is power to the unit and that the weight basket is in its upper locked position. If the weight basket produces resistance it must be moved up in its upper locked position where it does not give any workload. Then the LED is lit - with a delay of about ﬁve seconds - indicating that the computer and cycle is in a ready position for a test.

Connection to PC

To connect a PC to the bike, use a 0-modem cable (RS232) with 9-pin D-sub connector (female) at both ends. If no RS232 Serial port is available on the computer use a USB serial converter to connect to an USB port on the computer instead.

Before installing the Monark Software for your ergometer, you must take the following steps.

Locate the USB adaptor. 1. Inside the USB adaptor packaging, there is a mini-2.

CD. Insert the mini-CD into the CD-ROM drive and 3.

install the driver software. If there is no CD drive on your computer, driver software is available for download from the website (http:www.vscom.de/ USB-CD).

Finalize the driver software installation by 4. inserting the USB adaptor.

Install the Monark Software disk. 5. Connect the USB Adaptor to the Serial Cable and 6.

proceed with testing.
