Heart-rate controlled program - HRC
These are heart-rate controlled training programs.
Here the user specifies a desired target heart rate. This is continuously compared with the actual heart rate of
the user by the cockpit. If the actual heart rate is lower than the desired target heart rate, the treadmill auto-
matically increases the speed previously selected by the user. If the value is higher, the treadmill automatically
reduces the speed.
The main requirement for this program is a constant, accurate transmission of heart rate values. For this reason,
this program can only be used with an uncoded heart rate chest belt. This is available as an accessory. The use
of this program is not possible with hand pulse sensors. Please also read the chapters “Heart Rate Measure-
ment”, “Warning on Heart Rate Measurement “ in this manual.
Step 1: Program selection
Switch the treadmill on and press the quick selection key HRC until “HRC” is shown in the display. on.
Confirm your selection by pressing the MODE key.
Step 2: Age entry
Enter the age of the user by pressing the +/- keys for SPEED. Confirm your input by pressing the MODE key.
Step 3: Target Pulse Rate
The cockpit displays the target heart rate based on the user’s age. The calculated value corresponds to 60% of
the maximum heart rate. If you want to train with the calculated value, use the MODE key to confirm. If you want
to train with an individual target heart rate, enter it by pr/- keys for SPEED or
keys for INCLINE.
Here it is possible to select a value from 84 to 195. Confirm your entry by pressing the MODE key. Please also
read the sections on pulse and heart rate measurement in this manual.
Step 4: Maximum speed entry
Enter the maximum speed from 3.0 km/h to 18.0 km/h which is not to be exceeded by the computer during the
HRC program by pressing the +/- keys for SPEED. Confirm your entry by pressing the MODE key.
Step 5: Training time entry
Enter the desired training time from 05:00 to 139:00 minutes using the +/- keys for SPEED. Confirm your entry
by pressing the MODE key.
Step 6: Training start
Press the START key. A countdown will be shown in the display. The training time will start as soon as the
countdown ends and the treadmill will start automatically at a speed of 3 km/h.
Training End
The treadmill stops automatically when the specified training time has been reached.
If the current heart rate remains lower than the target heart rate when the maximum speed set by the program
has been reached, the treadmill will automatically increase the incline.
