Velocity calculation
60 pedal rotations result in a velocity of 9,5 km/h.
Kilojoule calculation
The performance is entered in Watt (current performance) and the
time in seconds. Factor 6 results from the efficiency degree of a
human being of approx. 16,7% when training with the trainer.
However, this is only a clue.

Fitness value calculation
The computer calculates and assesses the difference between the
strain pulse at training end and the recovery pulse after 60 s and
the resulting "fitness value" according to the following formula:
(
Value (F) = 6 -
10 x (P1 - P2)
P1
P1 = Strain pulse
P2 = Recovery pulse
Value 1 = very good
The comparison of strain and recovery pulse is a simple and fast
possibility to control your physical fitness. The fitness value is an
orientation value for your recoverability after physical strain. Be-
fore you press the recovery key (8) and establish your fitness va-
lue, you should train for a longer period, i.e. for at least 10 mi-
nutes, in your strain range. With a regular cardiovascular training
you will note that your "fitness value" improves.
Average value calculation
For the average value calculation of pedal rotations, velocity, per-
formance and pulse all training intervals are taken into account
until the "Temperature" display appears.
Information on pulse measuring
Only one kind of pulse measuring is possible at a time (ear-clip or
hand pulse sensors or cardio pulse set).
Pulse calculation starts when the heart in the display flashes in ac-
cordance with your pulse beat.
With ear-clip
The pulse sensor operates with infra-red light and measures the
changes in the light permeability of your skin which are caused
by your pulse beat. Before you fasten the ear-clip to your ear lob
please rub it strongly 10 times, in order to increase blood circu-
lation.
Avoid interfering impulses.
• Fasten the ear-clip carefully at your ear lob and try to find the
most favourable point for sensoring (heart symbol flashes with-
out interruption).
• Do not train directly under strong incidence of light, e.g. neon
light, halogen light, spot light, sunlight.
• Completely avoid any vibrations and wobbling of the ear sen-
sor including cable. Always fasten the cable with the clip at
your clothes or - even better - at a headband.

Value 6 = insufficient
With hand pulse sensors
A very low voltage caused by the contraction of the heart is de-
tected by the hand sensors and assessed by the electronic system.
• Always grasp the contact surfaces with both hands.
• Avoid jerky grasping.
• Hold your hands calm and avoid contractions and rubbing on
the contact surfaces.
With cardio pulse set
Please refer to the appropriate instructions.
Malfunctions in pulse display
Should any pulse detecting problems occur, please once again
check the above items.
Malfunctions at training computer
If the electronic system behaves strange or disturbed, press the re-
set key.
Information on interface
The training software "ERGO concept", art. No. 7926-000, to be
bought from your specialised dealer, permits the control of your
cross trainer with a customary PC through this interface.
