We recommend keeping a pedalling speed of 60 to 80 RPM with the Coaching program.
Prog
Intensification prog. / L, Constant RPM prog. / A and Strength prog. / H
The strength program / H
The particularity of the strength program is that the program behaviour is defined neither by various
settings of the braking power in watt, nor by speed settings (RPM), but is based on a total of
15 braking levels (1 to 15). The power in watt corresponding to each of the braking level is computed
by multiplying the actual speed in RPM by a specific factor prescribed by the braking level and
rounded to the nearest 5 watt.
Select the required
braking level (1 to 15)
by turning
control button no. 6
The actual power is computed every minute according to the pedalling speed and the selected
braking level, and displayed as a performance curve in the form of a bar graph.
The selection of the training program and
the program flow are supported by the
graphic display (window no. 6).
Select user identification number
(see page 5)
Set your personal data and alarm values
(see page 14 to 17)
Put on the pulse sensor or the cardio sensor chest band
(see page 11 and T1)
Select the intensification program / L
(see page 26)
“Standard selection steps 1 - 3”
The intensification program / L
ergo_bike
ergometers operate,
according to DIN 13405, independently of the velocity in the
defined RPM ranges
. The selected braking power (watt) remains constant whether the user pedals
slow or fast (see page 9).
Training with the intensification prog. / L,
Select the
required braking power (Watt)
by turning
control button No. 6
while pedaling
at a constant speed of
50 RPM
.
The constant RPM program / A
the constant program / A,
or the strength program / H
Press the program key,
a short audio signal (beep) confirms that the speed, e.g. 50 RPM
(pedal speed), is stored.
Afterwards, whenever the pedaling speed
is reduced or increased by more than 3 RPM
the braking power is reduced or increased accordingly, and the new value is displayed in
Window No. 5
.
When the user increases the pedaling speed by at least 5 RPM, or reduces it by at
least 6 RPM, the braking power (Watt) is correspondingly increased or reduced
in 5 Watt-per-second increments to force the user back to the selected speed of
50 RPM
.
Start pedalling until you reach the required personal speed ( RPM ), e.g. 50.
Program selection and program specific settings
start pedaling, e.g. at 50 RPM.
Start pedalling
If the user reduces the pedaling speed, the braking power in watt will also be reduced.
(see also window no. 6)
The intensification program is the only exception. When running this program the
ergo_bike
reacts like
a standard bike. The
braking power (Watt)
is increased when the user increases the pedaling speed,
as shown in display
window No. 5
. The power is reduced when the user reduces the pedaling speed.
This program is designed for sport bikers, who want to maintain their personal pedaling speed
constant regardless of a climbing or descending route.
(The braking level number is displayed in window no. 1 under the symbol instead of a program number)
