up or down using the UP and DOWN keys. The load will be displayed in the lower left corner of the console. Press ENTER
to advance to the next column. Make any desired adjustments to the resistance and repeat the process for all twenty
(20) columns. Once all profile adjustments are complete, press and hold the ENTER key for one (1) second to accept the
updates.
• “Time” will flash. Adjust the value and press START / QUICK START / STOP to launch the program.
• Changes to the current segment’s load can be made once the program is launched by pressing the UP or DOWN key.
Target Heart Rate / Target HR
Diamondback’s Target Heart Rate programs can also be described as
heart rate control programs
. Heart rate control programs
automatically increase and decrease the load during the workout to stay within four (4) Bpm (Beats-Per-Minute) of the target. For
example, if the heart rate target is 132 Bpm, and the user’s pulse begins to fall, the Response U6c computer will slowly increase
the load. Eventually, the amount of work being performed by the user will increase and so will the heart rate. Conversely, if the
user’s heart rate climbs above the target zone, the load will be reduced, ultimately decreasing the heart rate.
The advantages of heart rate control programs are the simplicity and accuracy by which the ideal cardiovascular training zone is
maintained thereby offering a very efficient workout.
For the Target Heart Rate programs to operate, the computer must receive a heart rate signal from the touch heart rate sensors
or via a wireless chest strap transmitter (not included). If no signal is detected, the Alpha-Numeric Messaging Bar will display
“Input Pulse” and “P” will be lit in the Pulse window.
Calculated Maximum Heart Rate
is a formula based upon the user’s age: 220 – Age = Calculated Maximum Heart Rate. See
the section above titled “Your Estimated Maximum Heart Rate.” As such, the Target Heart Rate programs rely upon an accurate
user profile to provide a safe and effective workout. The user must select a user profile which contains the correct age value. To
return to the User Set-Up mode and update the age entry, press and hold the RESET key for two seconds. Select a user profile
