The patient pushes the pedals with their feet. The operator can
increase the workload using the Up and Down Key on the console.
When the workload change is requested an electromagnet is
energized at eld strengths relative to the workload requested. The
magnetic eld generated by the coil is induced into a ywheel
creating eddy currents to ow in the ywheel. The eddy currents then
create an opposing magnetic eld to the electromagnetic eld
creating more or less resistance at the pedal, determined by
workload setting by the operator.

The 7.0 R is an easy product to set up and use, from the adjustments to
the intuitive interface. This section explains how to set up, adjust and
operate your 7.0 R.

Leveling the 7.0 R

Once the 7.0 R is assembled, and placed on a at level oor, it may
be necessary to adjust the leveling glides on the bottom of the unit
to ensure proper stability of the 7.0 R. Use a 1/2” wrench to loosen
the top nut of the leveler. Adjust the levelers by hand as necessary to
remove any wobble in the unit. Then tighten the top nut against the
bottom of the stabilizer tube. Make sure the bottom nut remains
cinched against the leveling foot.

Connecting to A.C. power

The 7.0 R has a built-in universal power supply. You can plug the 7.0
R into any A.C. power source from 90 to 240 volts, 50 to 60 Hz. The
A.C. input is located in the front of the unit. The input module has an
input connector for the line cord, a power switch and a 5 amp fuse.
Turn the power switch to o when the 7.0 R is not in use.

Adjusting the seat fore/aft position

Squeeze the brake handle located on the left side handle bar. Move
the seat slightly until the seat lock clicks in place. There is anumbered
scale located on the aluminum seat slide tube for repeatable set­tings. Seatposition is indicated by the front of the seat carriage lining
up with the number on the scale.

Adjusting the seat back angle

The seat back angle can be adjusted for comfort, but also may be
adjusted to change the hip angle for patients. To adjust the seat back
angle, squeeze the brake handle located on the left side handle bar
and move the seat back to the desired position. There is a numbered
scale located just below the seat back cushion for repeatable set­tings.

Rotating the swivel seat

Lift the handle behind the seat to disengage the latch. Rotate the
seat to the desired position; lower the handle when approaching
position to activate latch. The seat will latch into place every 45
degrees

21

Pedal adjustment

Loosen the knob on the adjustable crank and pull up to disengage
the pin. Slide the pedal up or down the crank arm to the desired
setting then tighten the knob. There is a numbered scale for repeat­ability and a program in the Set Up function of the console that can
assist in setting up the pedal position to accommodate various
patient knee angles.

Warning : Avoid wearing pants with loose tting legs as they may get
caught on the crank arm while pedaling.

Auto-braking feature

The 7.0 R has built-in sensing technology and software that will auto­matically stop the ywheel when it senses the user is attempting to
stop pedaling. This Auto-braking software can be disabled during
program set up before beginning a session. The Auto-Brake is set to
o for the Symmetry and VO2 programs and can be turned on during
program set up.

Mechanical brake lever function

The brake’s ywheel is also equipped with a mechanical brake that
can be activated to stop the ywheel by pressing down on the lever.

7.0 R electronic console

Power on

When initially powered on the console will perform an internal
self-test. During this time all the lights will turn on for a short time.
The dot matrix display will then show a software version (i.e. VER 1.0)
and the message window will display an odometer reading. The
odometer reading displays how many hours the bike has been used
and how many virtual miles the bike has been ridden. The display will
look like this: ODO 123 MI 123 HRS.

Set up menu

• Patient data

- Age : used in VO2 and heart rate programs.

- Gender : used in VO2 program.

- Weight : used in METS and Calorie calculations and VO2 program.

- Height : used in the Symmetry program.

• Seat position

- User may input desired knee exion angles (6 options) and the
software will calculate the seat’s vertical position and pedal
posi tion settings.

- This feature is intended to aid in patient set up but may not be the
nal settings as patient’s body symmetry may vary slightly.

- This program uses the height from the Patient Data settings fo
limb length. The seat Fore/Aft position is assumed to be in the
center of the adjustment range.

24

The six knee angle options are:

• R Min (Right leg minimum exion)

L Min (Left leg minimum exion)

• R Max (Right leg maximum exion)

L Max (Left leg maximum exion)

• R Max (Right leg maximum exion)

L Min (Left leg minimum exion)

• R Min (Right leg minimum exion)

L Max (Left leg maximum exion)

• R Max (Right leg maximum exion)

R Min (Right leg minimum exion)

• L Max (Left leg maximum exion)

L Min (Left leg minimum exion)

• Watts per row

- Adjusts the scale of the dot matrix when power (watts) is

displayed. The default setting is 10 watts per row. The default of 10
watts per row means the full display (all 10 rows lit) equal 100
watts.

- The setting can be adjusted from 10 to 100 watts per row of lights

on the graph.

• Level Scale

- Set the amount of change in the level adjustment of workload

(resistance at the pedals) each time the arrow keys are pressed.

- This feature allows you to have very ne increments of resistance

for physically challenged patients or set very high resistance
levels for sports training. The default setting is; Fine, 5 watts per
level. The three options are:

Fine – 5 watts per level (at 60 RPM)
Medium – 10 watts per level (at 60 RPM)
Coarse – 15 watts per level (at 60 RPM)

Quick start

This is the quickest way to start an exercise session. After the console
powers up you just press the Start key to begin; this will initiate the
Quick start mode. In Quick start, the Time will count up from zero, all
workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted
manually by pressing the Up or Down key. The dot matrix will display a
workload level at the lowest resistance. As you increase the workload
more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The bike will get harder
to pedal as the rows increase.
