Modes of operation

The running machine is equipped with four modes of operation: Manual mode, profile mode, cardio mode and test
mode. The automatic modes (profile mode, cardio mode and test mode) are for starting a training profile, a heart rate
dependent speed and elevation control or a test profile. Each mode can be disabled by optional settings. This can be
required in special cases for additional safety (for example to fully lock the device and secure against unauthorized
operation) or to reduce functions for more simple operation. Switching between modes is partially possible, while the
running machine is in operation. The incorporated seriales interface is always active. This means that you can send and
receive data/commands at any time (parallel) and during any mode. Always the latest command will be executed,
regardless of whether the command came via interface or from the UserTerminal during one of the four modes.
For better and easier documentation, we recommend using a printer linked to the serial interface RS 232 or/and using
the software h/p/cosmos para graphics
The treadmill belt will start moving automatically and the speed and elevation will be changed
N
automatically after an automatic mode (profile, cardio, test or control via interface) has been
started. All users need to be familiar with the details and risks of these modes (e.g. the max.
speed and elevation) in order to avoid the danger of too high speeds and injuries.
Automatic operation (profile mode, cardio mode, test mode, remote control via PC and
N
peripheral devices) is prohibited, if the health and the condition of the subject/patient do not
permit and a doctor has not authorized the loads. Disregard may cause injuries and serious
health problems.
At automatic operation, the subject/patient and supervisory staff have to impropriate exact
N
knowledge about the expected loads before starting and anticipate an automatic load
alternation (speed, acceleration, decelaration, elevation and STOP) at any time. Higher
precautions may be necessary.
Never set too high loads (speed, acceleration, elevation), if the health and the condition of the
N
subject/patient do not permit and a doctor has not authorized these loads. Disregard may
cause injuries and serious health problems or even death. Higher precautions may be
necessary in the event of identifiable risks.
5.9.1

Acceleration levels

The individual selectable acceleration and deceleration parameters of speed include intensities from extremely
slow to extremely fast. Top speed can be reached in any time from 3 to 131 seconds.
Seven different acceleration and deceleration levels are available for all modes and for remote control via interface
and h/p/cosmos coscom protocol (see the following diagrams). The acceleration levels are programmable for every
program step of the individual profiles in the profile mode and test mode.
The acceleration levels are accessible by pressing the "speed-keys" + and minus several times and then holding
the key. The acceleration levels are also accessible via interface and optional PC software h/p/cosmos para
control® and h/p/cosmos para graphics®.
