General Information About The Programs - Energetics E-204 Instruction Manual

!
The E-204 always saves the latest user program created even if the computer is turned off
after completion of the workout session.
[» 13] Recovery Program
The Recovery Program determines the rate at which you recover after a work out . The recovery rating is a value
with which personal fitness can be judged . The recovery rating is calculated using the difference between the
heart rate at the end of the work out and the one after 60 seconds of recovery . What applies: The higher the
difference between the two values, the higher your recovery rating also meaning the greater your fitness level . As
a basic principle, for a conditioned person the heart rate will decrease quicker as for the unconditioned person .
By choosing the recovery program at the end of the work out the fitness ranking will be received after 60 seconds .
Recovery
The read out HEART RATE on the display will show the current heart rate . Directly next to the current heart rate
you will see the last saved value from your workout . The time counts down from 60 seconds to 0:00 .
When 0:00 is reached three beep tones will sound . This signals the end of the Recovery Program . The readout on
the control panel shows the fitness ranking .
The two heart rate values, last saved value during the workout (on left) and the value after 60 seconds of recovery
(on right below HEART RATE), will continue to be displayed .
The fitness ranking
F1 – excellent fitness
F2 – good fitness
F3 – satisfactory fitness
F4 – minimal fitness
F5 – fitness needs improvement
F6 – fitness needs major improvement
!
For the accurate evaluation of your fitness ranking it is imperative that you hold the hand
pulse sensors firmly, so that the heart rate can be measured correctly. If a chest strap
(optional) is used, it supplies the values for the calculation.

General information about the programs

Countdown or upward count of workout time, workout distance and calories used
If no values are set prior to your workout, one or more values remain at 0, the values are recorded starting at 0 and
the current value is displayed .
You can choose to input values for workout time, workout distance or calories used . When a value is entered the
program will count down during your training until 0 is reached .
It will rarely be the case that two or more input values will reach 0 simultaneously . If one value reaches 0 a beep
tone sounds and the display changes from the active (START) mode to the pause (STOP) mode . By briefly pressing
the function key ST/SP, the workout can be continued . The program will start where it left off . The setting that has
reached 0 will now count up . All others continue to be counted down .
Setting/adjusting the resistance (LEVEL) for programs using load profiles
The resistance (LEVEL) can be adjusted during the workout session for all programs except the heart rate program
(see below) . The computer offers 16 resistance levels (LEVEL), which can be controlled using the selection button .
• The resistance can be reduced so that the time/resistance column with the lowest resistance setting in the
program reaches level 1 .
• The resistance can be increased so high that the time/resistance column with the highest resistance setting
within the program reaches 16 .
Adjusting the resistance (LEVEL) during the heart rate program
The computer compares the current heart rate with the preset one every 20 seconds . The adjustment of the
resistance requires a little time . The adjustment takes place in gradual steps and not in a giant leap even if there is
a larger discrepancy between the current pulse and the preset value .
Changing the readout on the display during the workout
When you start your work out by pressing the function key ST/SP, the display will show the values for cadence
(RPM), travelled total kilometres (ODO) and your output (WATT) * .
By pressing the function key MODE the display switches to SPEED, workout distance (DIST) and calories used
(CAL) .
* Unit specific there might not be a watt display available on the E204 .
