biodex 950-120, Installation & Operation Manual

Page: 10 / 39

Quick-Start mode is perfect for acquainting subjects with the Biodex Semi-Recumbent Cycle. It
gets the user up and pedaling in about five seconds. More experienced users, however, will like-
ly prefer the ability to personalize their exercise or rehabilitation routine as described below.
With the system turned ON, seat the user, adjust the seat forward and back position and foot
pedal straps as necessary, and proceed as follows:
NOTE: Steps one through five, below, correspond to the numbered keys on the display.
1. Set The Patient Weight: Press <Set Weight> and then use the <+> or <-> arrow keys to adjust
the value to the desired setting (for more accurate metabolic calculation).
2. Set the Exercise Duration Time: Press <Set Time> and then use the <+> or <-> arrow keys to
adjust the value to the desired setting.
NOTE: Time counts down if you set the exercise duration. Time counts up if you do not set this value.
3. Select the Desired Profile: By pressing <Select Profile>, you can scroll through the available
profiles. When you see the profile desired, proceed to step 4.
4. Select the Exercise Mode: Press <Select Exercise> to toggle between Isokinetic (strength exer-
cise/speed control) and Aerobic Exercise (constant power/effort control).
5. Adjust Isokinetic Speed or Constant Power Effort Level: Use the <+> or <-> arrows to adjust
the Isokinetic speed or constant power effort level to the desired level.
NOTE:
To make changes to programmed parameters, press <Clear Settings>. This will set all
parameters back to default values. You can then begin again at step one, above.
6. Grasp the SRC fixed handlebars or heart rate contact handgrips, and begin pedaling.
NOTE: The Biodex Semi-Recumbent Cycle begins collecting data as soon as the subject begins to pedal.
Once data collection begins, the system scrolls through the settings at the top left side of the display panel.
To lock on to a specific setting, i.e., calories, press <Select Display> until you advance to the setting you
wish to be displayed. To return to a scrolling display format, press and hold <Select Display> for two
full seconds.
NOTE: Standard SRC’s default to Constant Power Effort Control exercise mode. SRC Clinical Pro’s out-
fitted with retro-cycling default to Isokinetic exercise mode. A green LED on the display activates to show
the selected mode. To change modes, press <Select Exercise> (4) at the bottom of the display.
NOTE: To provide heart rate monitoring (SRC Clinical Pro only), the subject must hold onto both heart
rate contact handgrips.
NOTE:
For the first 24 hours of operation, the SRC should be used with the AC Adapter.
