Data Readouts; Displaying Heart Rate - CYBEX 530S Owner's Manual

Data Readouts

As you exercise, the Cybex 530S Stepper keeps track of the following data:
dist
floors
cal
cal/hr
mets
speed
To review accumulated data after a program: The display automatically cycles through your
accumulated workout data during the Workout Review for 20 seconds (default setting).

Displaying Heart Rate

In order to display your heart rate, you must either use a Polar compatible heart rate transmitter belt
(not included) or hold the handgrips to use Contact Heart Rate.
Contact Heart Rate - Hold the handgrips on the handlebar until a heart rate is displayed, typically less
than thirty seconds. For best results, hold the handgrips lightly and ensure that your hands contact
both the front and back sensors of each grip. NOTE: Hold your hands as steady as possible as
movement can cause interference on the contacts.

Distance - The total accumulated distance, in feet or meters, during your workout.
NOTE: Depending on the defaults you've chosen this measurement will show in
English or Metric.
Floors - How many floors you've climbed so far. Each floor is 10 vertical feet (or
three meters), or roughly equal to running 100 feet on level ground.
Calories - The total accumulated calories burned during your workout.
Calories Per Hour - Calculation of present workloads energy exertion in Calories
per Hour.
Metabolic Equivalent - Relates to the user's energy expenditure. A MET is a basic
unit of measurement that is used to compare relative work between individuals and
activities. One MET is the amount of oxygen an individual consumes at rest. For
example two mets would be twice that amount. If an individual were working at four
METs he/she would be consuming oxygen at a rate equal to four times their rest-
ing consumption. METs can be used to compare walking on a grade with running or
even to cycling and other activities. See The Workout Profile in this chapter for more
information.
Speed - Current stepping speed in feet per minute or meters per minute.
Heart Rate - Your current heart rate. Heart rate will appear when a signal is
introduced. Use either the handgrips for Contact Heart Rate or a Polar compatible
heart rate transmitter.
