Cardio Mode - h/p/cosmos 150/50 mercury Operating And Service Manual

5.9.4

Cardio mode

Description
Cardio mode means heart rate controlled work load („pulse control" cardio-training). The cardio mode controls the speed
and/or elevation of the running machine, so that the heart rate of the subject stays within a predefined zone. Therefore,
the subject has to wear a corresponding chest belt with heart rate transmitter.
For information and correct chest belt placement see also chapter 5.1 entitled "Operation, General".
Note for patients with pacemaker
The expert report from the Herzschrittmacher-Institute in Kochel, Germany states that a negative influence or danger for
patients with implanted pacemakers is impossible. Nevertheless, we recommend all patients with pacemakers consult
their doctor before using the POLAR heart rate measurement system.

Heedall safety instructions and warnings in the instruction manual of this machine and of all
N
accessories and options involved.
Heart rate monitoring systems can be inaccurate.
N
Overtraining can lead to serious injury or death.
N
If you feel faint, stop the training immediately.
N
Stop training immediately if you feel sick or dizzy, pain or in case of any other health problem
N
and consult your doctor.
In case of detected or suspected interference of the wireless heart rate transmission do not
N
use the cardio mode.
The operation of the cardio mode is prohibited if the health and the condition of the subject /
N
patient do not permit and a doctor has not authorized these loads. Disregard may cause
injuries and serious health problems.
In automatic mode the subject/patient and supervisory staff have to impropriate exact
N
knowledge of the expected loads before starting and anticipate an automatic load change
(speed, acceleration, decelaration, elevation and STOP) at any time. Higher precautions may be
necessary.
The following parameters can be programmed:
The desired maximum heart rate (pulse) during the training
N
The desired minimal heart rate (pulse) during the training
N
The maximum allowed speed for the cardio mode. Elevation can be set manually during the exercise.
N
The running machine starts with the starting speed. In order to keep the heart rate within the pre-selected heart
rate zone, the machine increases or decreases the speed automatically if necessary. The speed will not exceed
the max. defined speed. If the max. speed has been reached and the heart rate of the subject is still below the
target zone, the elevation will be increased to achieve the target hart rate. On the other hand, if the max. heart rate
has been reached,the elevation and then the speedwill be reduced in order to relieve the subject.
If the running machine does not receive a heart rate signal when starting the cardio mode, it will start with the set
starting speed and will not alter this speed. Every 30 seconds a warning signal is audible, after 1 minute the
running machine cancels the mode (at MCU5 firmware-versions < V1.03.1 or MCU4 firmware-versions < V4.04.2,
