Heart Rate Control

How the Heart Rate Control Program Works:

Heart Rate Control (HRC) uses your treadmill's speed and incline systems to adjust your heart rate. Increases and decreases in elevation affect heart rate much more efficiently than changes in speed alone. The HRC program automatically changes the speed and elevation gradually to achieve the programmed target heart rate.

Heart rate Auto-Pilot feature (Z500/Z900 only)

This unique feature allows the user to instantly enter the Heart Rate Control mode at any time with the press of a button. The HR2 program button also doubles as the Auto-Pilot button. During any program the user may press the Auto-Pilot button to enter the HRC program. Your current heart rate (the heart rate you are at when you press Auto-Pilot) will be maintained automatically by the Auto-Pilot program. You may press the elevation/incline up or down buttons to change your target heart rate while in the Auto-Pilot mode.

Selecting a Heart Rate Control Program:

You have the option, during the setup mode, to choose either the Weight Control (H-1) program or the Cardiovascular (H-2) program. Weight Control attempts to maintain your heart rate at

70% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Cardiovascular attempts to maintain your heart rate at

90% of your Maximum Heart Rate. Your Maximum Heart Rate is based upon a formula that subtracts your age from 220. Your age input is performed during the setup mode.

CAUTION!

The target value used in H-1 and H-2 programs is a suggestion only for normal, healthy individuals. Do not exceed your limits! You may not be able to obtain your chosen target. If in question, enter a higher age value that will set a lower target goal.
