transmits the pulse reading to the meter up to a distance of about
1 m.
N. B. To save the batteries of the meter and to prevent any extra
pulses coming from the ear sensor, unplug the ear sensor when
you use the telemetric pulse meter.
PRINTER INTERFACE
The workout results can be printed out. The E 850 has a standard
Centronics serial interface. The connector is a 25-pole D connector
(female). The printer can be any matrix printer with a Centronics
interface, e.g. EPSON LX 810, Panasonic KX-P 1180, Citizen
200GX etc.
Connect the printer cable to the connection point on the base of
the meter. When the printer is switched on the workout results are
automatically printed out (pulse, energy consumption, effort,
time, speed and distance) line by line at 10 second intervals.
N.B.
Always remember to disconnect the printer cable after use!
CHANGING BATTERIES
If the meter display fades considerably or completely, change the
batteries. Pull the meter out and remove the old batteries from the
holder at the back of the meter. Push the new batteries into the
holder (4x1.5VAA)andpush the meter back into its place at the
top of the handlebar support tube.
MAINTENANCE
The ECB Pro Ergometer E 850 is durable and designed for
continuous heavy use. To ensure accurate operation and long
service life, it is necessary to carry out certain simple adjustment
and maintenance procedures from time to time, depending on the
frequency of use. Check also from time to time that all screws are
and nuts are tight. Clean the cycle with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents.
_ADJUSTING THE BRAKE_
(Figs. 6 and 7)
Whenever the device is transported over long distances, the
distance between the magnets in the brake caliper and the outer
rim of the flywheel must be checked and where necessary
adjusted, to prevent the magnets from rubbing against the
flywheel, and to ensure sufficient braking effect (also if there are
considerable changes in the values).
Remove the left-hand side housings by undoing the screws (the
pedal and pedal crank need not be removed). Turn the resistance
adjustment knob to the extreme - position (minimum). NB! Take
your watch off before the following step, as the brake mecha¬
nism's magnetic field may damage it. Loosen the brake caliper's
attachment joint (see arrow in figure 6) using two 13 mm set
wrenches. Remove the frame tube end of the spring located
between the magnet caliper and the frame tube from its place.
Push the 1 mm strip delivered with the ergometer between the
flywheel and magnets (see figure 6); if necessary, help by moving
the attachment joint. The space should be approximately the same
thickness as the strip. Remove the adjustment nut of the limiter
bar (see arrow in figure 7). The magnet caliper will automatically
pull itself to the correct radius. Lock the brake caliper attachment
joint. Turn the resistance adjustment knob to the extreme +
position (maximum). Re-attach the end of the spring to the frame
tube. Fit the limiter bar adjustment nut back into place and tighten
the it until the limiter bar spring is almost completely compressed
and the brake caliper moves. Finally, check the distance variations
of the magnet caliper by turning the resistance adjustment knob
back and forth between the open and closed positions.
If the magnet caliper remains clearly too faraway from the flywheel
rim, loosen the limiter bar adjustment nut. If, however, the mag¬
nets rub against the flywheel, tighten the limiter bar adjustment nut
until the 1 mm strip fits between the flywheel and the magnets.
_ADJUSTING THE CHAIN_
(figure 8)
The E 850 is designed to minimize the need to adjust the chain,
since the flywheel cannot move in relation to the chain. Therefore,
the chain only needs to be adjusted when it has loosened as a
result of wear due to use. The wearing is, however, only theoretic
as the fitness devices are mainly used indoors.
The adjustment is carried out from the freewheel hub as follows:
Remove the top cover and the left frame housings. Loosen the
screw above the hub in the frame (fig. 8). Slip an Allen wrench,
screwdriver or other pin of suitable size into the groove of the cam
part and rotate the cam anticlockwise until the chain is at the
correct tightness, that is, when it can be moved freely about 5 mm
up or down at its centre point. Tighten the screw above the hub
and replace the housing.
In spite of continuous quality control, individual defects and
malfunctions may occur due to individual components. It is in
most cases unnecessary to take the whole cycle for repair, as it
is usually sufficient to replace the defective part. If you notice that
a part is missing, contact the dealer and give the model (E 850),
serial number and spare part number.
MOVING AND STORAGE
The ergometer is easily moved by wheeling it on the transportation
wheels at the front. To prevent malfunctioning of the cycle, store
it in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible,
protected against dust.
