Cybex 500C Cycle and 500R Recumbent Cycle Owner’s Manual
The top three categories are:
Elapsed Time
How long you've pedaled so far.
Calories Burned
The number of calories you've burned in this workout.
Speed
Your current speed in miles or kilometers per hour.
The three bottom categories are:
Heart Rate or
If you have the heart rate monitor option, this is your current heart rate
Level
in beats per minute. If you don't have the heart rate monitor, it is the
current speed setting for the cycle. In bicycle mode, this is the gear: the
amount of resistance on the pedals; in exercise mode, it's a measure of
the work you're performing.
Distance
In miles or kilometers. This is based on the power required by an
average cyclist on a road bike on a level surface.
RPM
Your current revolutions per minute
• The Workout Graph in the middle of the console uses columns of lights to show the
progress of your workout. In manual mode, each column represents 1/15th of your work
out and shows the highest speed you reached in that period.
In a program, the Workout Graph shows a detailed view of the current portion of your
workout: each column of lights represents a 15 second segment, so the entire display
covers 225 seconds (a little under four minutes). The height of the columns shows the
relative level (power required); the blinking column is where you are right now. As you go
through your workout, the blinking column moves slowly from left to right; when it reaches
the right-most column, your workout is almost over. For example:
The blinking column (shown as empty circles) indicates the workout is approximately half
over. The power required will stay the same for the next 90 seconds (six columns), then
decrease.
