Upgrade Of Machines Already Installed - Technogym Bikerace Service Maintenance Manual

BIKERACE: Service & Maintenance Manual - rev. 1.1
At the start of the training session, the coded receiver first of all seeks to detect a coded signal for a
maximum of 10 seconds. This is done in reduced sensitivity mode to avoid receiving a signal from
users on adjacent machines. If no coded signal is found, the receiver searches for a non-coded signal
and functions in the traditional manner.
Consequently:
• If the user wears a "coded" strap and trains on a machine equipped with a Coded
receiver: the machine tunes into the user's heart rate signal and operates in "coded" mode.
Synchronization time 3 - 7 seconds maximum.
• If the user wears a "standard" strap and trains on machine equipped with a Coded
receiver: the machine receives the user's heart rate signal, but does not operate in "coded"
mode. Synchronization time 10 - 15 seconds maximum.
If the machines are installed extremely close together, there may be interference
problems in reading the user's heart rate signal, as on traditional machines.
• If the user wears a "coded" strap and trains on a machine equipped with a "standard"
receiver: if the machine is not using a SW version equal or greater than 7.0.X, will have
problems reading the heart rate.
• If the user wears a "standard" strap and trains on a machine equipped with a "standard"
receiver: this is the old operating mode of the machines.
WARNING: please note that the PCD system is based on the existing technology, with
the addition of the code signal. Therefore, this system can resolve problems of
interference in reading the user's heart rate but not those relating to saturation of the
receiver in environments with very high levels of electromagnetic disturbance.
11.2.2. U
PGRADE OF MACHINES ALREADY INSTALLED
A Coded Upgrade has been prepared which permits the upgrade of all cardio machines. It consists
of a "coded" strap, a "coded" receiver, and the necessary connecting cables.
The order code for the Coded Upgrade is E134, while the order code for the coded transmitter is
E237. The order code for the strap remains the same as that as that for the standard version: E233.
