What’s a kilopond?

This is an obsolete unit of force, equivalent to the gravitational force on one kilogram at the earth’s surface, or about 9.8 new- tons. Sweden made the kilopond its official unit of force in 1945, and thus it ended up being used in an ergometer made in Sweden. It is essentially equivalent to the force on a kilogram at the Earth’s surface.

CHAPTER ELEVEN: MEDICAL AND ERGOMETER MODE

The two modes differ in the way they control workload:

Ergometer Mode: This emulates a popular cycle ergometer whose workload settings are in kiloponds (see side bar) and are adjusted by changing the amount of weight (in kilograms) at the end of a brake belt wrapped around a flywheel.

Many testing protocols are written especially for such an ergometer. These protocols can now be run on the CS8.0 bike, either programmed into a custom program or run manually.

Medical Mode: This uses either METs or watts, instead of kiloponds, for workload control.

(Although that’s just like normal operation mode, Medical mode adds the previously mentioned useful functions like no torque roll-off and rpm limiting, and doesn’t allow riders to play around with other exercise modes.) Most exercise prescriptions are in either METs or watts, so this mode is useful for that.

These modes restrict operation to manual and custom programs. Refer to Chapter 5 for manual operation and Chapter 9 for custom program operation.

Change the pedal RPM limit in Setup Mode.
