3.3 Cycle adjustments
Seat height should be adjusted to a comfortable
position. A suitable height is when your knee is
slightly bent and the middle of the foot is straight
above the pedal axle with the pedal in its lowest
position. To adjust the seat height loosen the lever
on the seat tube. See fig: Adjustments.
The handlebar setting should give a comfortable
position when cycling. During longer exercise
sessions it is recommended that you occasional-
ly change the handlebar position. To adjust the
handlebar loosen the quick release lever. See
fig:
Adjustments.
NOTE! The handlebar stem should be inserted
into the frame tube at least 3 inches (about 8 cm).
this measure is marked out on the stem(3).
3.1 Operate the ergometer
Ergomedic 839 E is built on a stabile frame, a
large well balanced flywheel, a break belt and a
pendulum weight which measure the force. Pe-
dals and a chain drive are provided to spin the
flywheel as a tension device tightens the belt to
regulate the braking force applied to the wheel.
The pendulum indicates the applied force direc-
tly on the scale located on the right side of the
flywheel.
The computer system consists of one main unit
and one control unit (terminal, PC or ECG). The
main unit reads in the pedal speed, the applied
force and determines the subjects heart rate by
a chest transmitter. Additionally, the base con-
troller activates motor to adjust the tension of
the belt, thereby regulating the applied braking
force. The force may be automatically varied in
response to changes in pedal speed to maintain a
constant power workload.
For information about how respective control
unit works, see ”Connection to controller”.
3 Operation Instruction
Operation Instruction
The metronome (the two green LED bars in the
middle) flashes once per pedal stroke at a preset
rate. The two green LED bars in the middle can
also be set to show pulse. It makes one flash for
every heart beat. Pedal frequency compared to
metronome rate is always shown.
Underspeed:
Pedal speed is lower than desired metronome
rate. 2, 4, 8, 16 or more depending which LED
bar that indicates.
Overspeed:
Pedal speed is greater than desired metronome
rate. 2, 4, 8, 16 or more depending which LED
bar that indicates.
