  • Page 5: Manual Control Keys

    Manual control keys Increases the effort level of a workout. The value increases by 1 unit every time the key is pressed, or faster if the key is kept pressed. For constant power exercises, this key increases the target power by 10 watt each time it is pressed. For constant heart rate exercises, this key increases the target heart rate by 1 unit each time it is pressed (if the keys are enabled in this way: see section Configuration menu).
  • Page 6: The Number Pad

    The number pad The number pad is for entering the numerical values requested when setting the workouts. Only figures are entered, i.e. 7 and 5 to indicate 7.5 km. As well as the figures, the number pad also has DELETE and ENTER keys. Confirms the entered value and proceeds.
  • Page 7: Numerical Displays

    Numerical displays POWER watts SPEED rpm/spm EFFORT LEVEL You can read the numerical values of the current exercise on the numerical displays: power, expressed in Watts. The power displayed is the power produced by the user, within the tolerances specified in the equipment identity label. The heart rate shown on the display is purely indicative and cannot be considered absolutely certain.
  • Page 8: The Goal Arc And Dial

    The goal arc and dial The arc of LEDs lights up from left to right in time with the workout, until the set goal is reached. The LED corresponding to the current time/distance/calories portion blinks. The type of goal selected is lit up in the arc during the exercise. In the dial, the display of the numerical value for the selected goal, which proceeds incrementally, alternates with that of all the messages.
  • Page 9: Quick Start

    2 Quick start In standby, either start moving or press the key START. This kind of workout is on a time increment basis; the effort level is 1; the age and weight values are preset. It is at constant torque and braking is independent of speed. The time is shown in the goal dial and arc as it increases;...
  • Page 10: Cool Down

    3 Cool down At the end of each workout there is cooling down stage, at half the effort level of the exercise just completed. For workouts lasting less than a minute, on the other hand, at the end of the exercise the equipment goes straight into standby. During the cool down only the key STOP is enabled, for going into stand by, and the keys to modify the effort level.
  • Page 11: Workouts With Goals: Time, Calories, Distance

    4 Workouts with goals: Time, Calories, Distance Press the goal keys in standby to select an exercise, in which the only parameter to set before starting is the total duration, in terms of time, calories to be burned or distance to cover. This workout with goal is at constant torque and braking is independent of speed.
  • Page 12 During the exercise the goal arc lights up proportionally from left to right until the entire set goal value has expired; the goal’s numerical value is shown in the goal dial as it increases and alternates with the display of the information on the unselected goal: i.e. how long ago the exercise started, how many calories have been burned and what distance has been covered.
  • Page 13: Constant Heart Rate Workout (Cpr)

    5 Constant heart rate workout (CPR) A constant heart rate workout is very important in situations where certain heart rate levels have to be kept to. In constant heart rate workouts, the exercise effort level is automatically adjusted to take the heart rate to the preselected level and keep it constant throughout the entire exercise. This type of workout is at constant power and braking depends on the speed.

    6 The fitness test The fitness test is a sub-maximal test, suitable for quite unfit or moderately fit users. You need to wear the chest band to perform the test. Press the key in standby. After the heart rate has been detected, the age, body weight and gender are requested for setting the test and calculating the results. ...
  • Page 16 The fitness test is in three stages: 1) a 90 second warm-up stage at 50 watt; 2) a test stage of about 3 minutes at constant heart rate (step 1); 3) a subsequent test stage of about 4 minutes, in constant heart rate mode at 75% of the maximum theoretical H.R. (step 2). During the test the time is shown in the goal dial as it increases, and alternates with the display of the subsequent messages.
  • Page 17: Profile Workout

    7 Profile workout With this key you can choose between 6 preset, non-modifiable profiles and between nine personal profiles, saved by the trainer. Predefined profiles The predefined profiles are variable workouts defined on the basis of one of three goals: time, distance or calorie consumption. The goal value is set in the programming stage and can be changed during the exercise with the corresponding keys.
