  • Page 12: Adapting The Pulse Sensor

    DAPTING THE PULSE SENSOR This model detects and displays your pulse rate during exercise by the earlobe sensor from your earlobe. Being a sensitive elec- tronic part, the earlobe sensor must be handled with sufficient care. Important: When the chest-belt sensor is used, remove the earlobe sensor plug from the control unit. Signals from the chest- belt sensor cannot be received if the earlobe sensor is connected.

  • Page 24: Training Goals

    The purpose of exercise with the EC-C400 Ergometer is to improve both your physical strength and the functioning of the circulatory system: to improve our aerobic power.
  • Page 25 Since earlobes move very little during exercise and are not influenced very much by physical movement, it is appropriate to use an earlobe to mea- sure the pulse rate during exercise. The EC-C400 Ergometer therefore measures the pulse rate by detecting changes in the circulation of the ear- lobe.
  • Page 26: Your Strength Level And Training Index

    OUR STRENGTH LEVEL AND TRAINING INDEX HR control training • In this program, the exercise intensity is set by the target pulse rate (beats per minute: bpm). Select your target pulse rate from the fol- lowing table, based on your age and physical fitness level (PFL) from 1 to 5.

  • Page 46: Chest-Belt Heart Rate Sensor

    BELT HEART RATE SENSOR Use the wireless chest-belt heart rate sensor. In the EC-C400, the heart rate can be measured using the optional wireless chest-belt heart rate sensor instead of the earlobe sensor. Therefore, in cases where it is difficult to detect the heart rate using the earlobe sensor, the heart rate measurement can still be carried out accurately.
  • Page 47 Maintenance of the chest-belt heart rate sensor After removing the battery from the sensor, dispose of it properly. Be sure to keep it out of the reach Warning of small children. If through some accident it is swallowed, contact a physician immediately. Replace the battery.
