1. General InformatIon
The
HAC
is a multi-functional device which unifies a heart
rate monitor, an altimeter, and a wireless cycling computer in one.
That is why it is the ideal device for monitoring training.
It has a 2-part display so that the functions shown on the upper
display can be combined with those shown on the lower display.
Furthermore, the
HAC
offers 3 pulse settings on the dis-
play so that the pulse can be shown with every other function.
The
HAC
also has a storage function which offers the pos-
sibility to compare tours (evaluation is possible with any PC equipped
with at least Windows 98, 2000, NT and XP with the accessory unit
HAC
tronic
).
Persons who wear a cardiac pacemaker should contact their
physician before using this device to measure their pulse!
2. operatIon
Basically, the following applies:
- Heart rate measurement is only possible when the breast belt is
properly put on and the
HAC
is not farther away from the
breast belt transmitter than 60 cm.
- In order to be used as a cycling computer, the transmitter must
be properly attached and the
HAC
must be properly
attached to the handlebar bracket which holds the receiver for the
wireless transmitter.
2.1 Inserting the batteries
When you purchase your
HAC
the depending parts need
to be supplied with batteries.
Note: please do not remove the foil inside the battery case of the
HAC4000. Insert battery below the foil.
First insert the batteries type CR2032 in the
HAC
, the hand-
lebar bracket and in the transmitter belt. Unscrew counter clockwise
the screwed cap on the reverse side of the
HAC
/transmitter
belt (and at top of handlebar bracket) with the aid of a coin. Insert the
battery with plus pole facing up and close screw caps again.
Open the battery cap of the speed transmitter also with the aid of a
coin. Insert battery type 23A with plus pole facing up (to battery cap)
and close cap again.
Do not over twist battery caps!
2.2 Putting on the breast belt
Hang the transmitter belt in the elastic
breast belt and then put the breast belt
around your (naked) upper torso. The
transmitter (plastic part with inscription)
should be placed above the middle
of your upper stomach region, slightly
below the breast and the inscription on
the transmitter (when seen from the front) must be legible (pictured).
Pull the belt tight so that it always is in contact with your body when
moving and so that it can not slip. If the breast belt is not long
enough, a longer breast belt can be acquired from your local bicycle
dealer.
If your skin is too cold or too dry, the electrical contact between
the skin and the electrodes can be so minimal that an accurate
measurement is not possible. It often helps to wet the electrodes and
the skin where they are to be attached with your finger (do not wet
the transmitter but only the rubber parts on the left and on the right).
If this doesn’t help, one should train until they start sweating. You will
get the best contact by means of a special electrode-gel (available at
your local pharmacy).
2.3 Attaching the handlebar bracket and speed
transmitter
The handlebar mounting can be installed on a stem. To do this the
top section of the handlebar mounting must be removed from the
bottom section. For this open the 4 screws of the bottom section.
Then turn upper part through 90° and assemble it again with the
4 screws of the bottom section.
Remove the backing foil from the underside of the handlebar moun-
ting, place the handlebar mounting in the required position on the
handlebar (or on the stem) and press it down slightly. Secure it with
the O ring or with the cable ties
Attach the
transmitter
by using
the rubber shim and the cable-ties
to the front side of the right fork
or the back side of the left fork
(the flat side of the transmitter
must face towards the inside) no
further than 60 cm away from
the computer. Do not yet pull the
cable-ties tight. Make sure that
the transmitter’s battery cap is facing up and that the transmitter and
computer are both attached to the same side of the bicycle.
Attach the
magnet
to the spokes directly opposite to the transmitter,
so that the magnet points directly to the elongated marking on the
flat side of the transmitter. Be careful not to over wind the screw for
attaching the magnet.
Turn the transmitter so that the distance between the trans-
mitter and the magnet is not more than 2 mm.
2.4 Attaching the cadence (optional)
Plug in the cadence cable on the respective place of the handlebar
bracket. Wind the cable in a helical way round the frame in direction
to the pedal (on the left side of the bike).
Mount the sensor (on the end of the cable) on a suitable place
opposite the crank (as near as possible) and fasten it with the cable
ties. Mount the cadence magnet opposite the marking of the sensor
(distance between cadence magnet and sensor max. 5 mm).
If the cadence should be used, this function must be set ‚on‘ in the
setting mode 1 of the
HAC
(see chap. 4.1, function ‚Cc‘).
