Setting a Resistance Range (C846i)

You can set a low, medium or high range of resistance on the C846i cycle. Within each group, 25 resistance settings are available, but the chosen group affects the overall resistance range.

An example of where you might use this programming feature is physical therapy conditioning. If a user has an injury that needs low levels of resistance, you might set the resistance range to low to help ensure that the user does not induce further injury by exceeding your recommended levels of resistance. The following table provides short description of each group.

Setting

Description

 

 

HIGH

provides the full range of resistance available. If an

 

upright cycle user chooses the high-end resistance

 

levels, the cycle provides enough resistance to simulate

 

sprinting or hill climbing for users wishing to stand on

 

the upright cycle. It also provides enough resistance for

 

elite riders that are capable of spinning at high speed

 

with high resistance.

 

 

MEDIUM

provides approximately two thirds of the resistance that

 

is available within the HIGH group setting. Club owners

 

may want to select the MEDIUM range for recumbent

 

cycles. Since users cannot stand on recumbent cycles,

 

less resistance is needed by the average (non-elite)

 

user. A MEDIUM range may provide more comfort. It

 

also allows users to make easier resistance changes in

 

the preset programs (HILL CLIMB and CROSS

 

COUNTRY).

 

 

LOW

provides approximately one third of the resistance that is

 

available within the HIGH group setting. The LOW

 

range may be appropriate in special situations where

 

poorly conditioned users are anticipated. The LOW

 

range is not recommended for the club environment.

 

 

9.At the SET RESISTANCE RANGE prompt, use an arrow key to choose LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.

10.When you are ready, press ENTER to save your changes and move to the next program. If you prefer to exit the program without saving your changes, press RESET.
