PROGRAM 8 – WATTS CONTROL
The function of Watts Control program is to allow the user to set a desired workout load (watts). The user’s workout load is controlled automatically by increasing or decreasing the resistance as the user changes their stride cadence (RPM). The intensity will be reduced when user increases RPM and the intensity will be increased when the user decreases the RPM.
After enter this program button then press STOP/ENTER to continue the set up procedure.
WATTS display shows factory default setting “110”. Press INTENSITY UP/DOWN button to adjust the target Watts and press STOP/ENTER to adjust TIME.
TIME display shows factory default setting “16:00”. Press INTENSITY UP/DOWN button to adjust the target Time and press STOP/ENTER to confirm.
Press START button to start the WATTS program. Time counts down to 0, Distance and Calories count up. Dot Matrix display shows the
PROGRAM 9 – TARGET HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM
The TARGET HEART RATE CONTROL program is designed to keep the user training at their chosen heart rate level to achieve the proper workout result. A heart rate monitoring device must be used for this program. The equipment provides a standard contact handgrip on the moving handle bar to sense the user heart beat during the workout. The user must hold the contact handgrips on the moving handle bar constantly in order to monitor the user heart rate during the workout. A wireless chest belt transmitter is highly recommended for this program.
IMPORTANT: The console software will calculate the user’s SAFE MAXIMUM HEART RATE based on the formula: (220pbm- AGE). User’s are encouraged to consult with a doctor or personal Training consultant to more accurately estimate their SAFE MAXIMUM HEART RATE in order to workout safely.
PULSE display shows the calculated TARGET HEART RATE based on the user age setting from the above step. The TARGET HEART RATE = 85% MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE. Press INTENSITY UP/DOWN button to adjust the target heart rate then press the STOP/ENTER bottom to confirm.
After adjust the TARGET HEART RATE, the TIME display shows factory default setting “32:00”. Press INTENSITY UP/DOWN button to adjust the target time and press STOP/ENTER to confirm.
Press the START button to start the 3 minute WARM UP. The purpose of warm up program is to bring the user’s heart rate to 65% of the MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE. Time counts down from “3.00” to “0:00”. Intensity Level Profile displays “WARM UP” 3 times. During the WARM UP, if the actual heart rate is less than 65% of the user’s MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE, the intensity level will be increased by 1 level every 30 seconds. If the actual heart rate reaches 65% MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE twice within the warm up, the HEART RATE CONTROL program will start after finished 3minute WARM UP.
If user’s actual hear rate fails to reach 65% of MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE during the warm up, the user will be placed into a 2nd or 3rd (if necessary) 3 minute warm up program. If user’s actual heart rate fails to reach 65% of the MAXIMUM SAFE HEART RATE after the 3rd 3 warm up program, the INTENSITY LEVEL PROFILE dot matrix will display “FAIL” then return to POWER ON status in 10 seconds.
Once the user successfully enters the HEART RATE CONTROL program, the computer will actively adjust the motion level and intensity level to keep the users at the TARGET HEART RATE. If the user is consistently below the TARGET HEART RATE, the MOTION LEVEL will increase 1 level every 30 seconds until reach LEVEL 12 and then the INTENSITY LEVEL will increase 1 level every 30 seconds. If the user reaches and exceeds the TARGET HEART RATE, the MOTION LEVEL will decrease 1 level every 30 seconds until level 1 and then the INTENSITY LEVEL will decrease 1 level every 30 seconds. The program will continue until the time runs out. If the user’s
heart rate continues to exceed the TARGET HEART RATE for 3 minutes, or the time counts down to “0:00”, the heart rate control program will stop and start the 1 minute COOL DOWN function. Time counts down from “1:00” and INTENSITY LEVEL at level 1 and MOTION LEVEL at level 1.
