3.
Remove the display housing.
4.
Verify the internal chest strap setting is set as shown in Diagram 6.5. Verify that a ferrite
bead is installed on the heart rate PCA to upper PCA cable.
5.
If the above procedures did not correct the problem, replace the heart rate PCA.
No hand held reading - Normal chest strap reading
6.
Access the diagnostic program (Procedure 3.2). Advance to the heart rate display portion of
the diagnostic program. Verify that a hand held signal is not being accepted by firmly
grasping both the right and left hand held contacts on the handlebars. Cover as much of the
contact surface area with your hands as possible (without moving your hands), you should
receive a heart rate reading within ten seconds.
7.
Temporarily, install a spare jumper on J14 of the heart rate PCA (hand held priority).
8.
Repeat the procedure in step 6.
9.
If the hand held signal is now being accept, something in the near vicinity is radiating RF
(radio frequency) energy that is being received by the chest strap portion of the heart rate
PCA. Disabling the chest strap signal proves that it is radiated energy that is causing the
problem.
10. If a hand held signal still not being accepted, skip to step 13.
11. The source of the radiated energy must be determined and relocated so that it no longer
affects the heart rate PCA. Televisions, cell phones, Cardio-theatre receivers, etc. are
possible sources of radiated energy.
12. Remove the temporary jumper from J14 of the heart rate PCA. Re-locate all potential
sources of radiation. Pedal the C576i to power it on and repeat the procedure in step 6.
13. Access the diagnostic program (Procedure 3.2). Advance to the heart rate display portion of
the diagnostic program. Verify that a hand held signal is not being accepted by firmly
grasping both the right and left hand held contacts with the opposite hands, right hand on
the left handlebar contacts and left hand on the right handlebar contacts. Cover as much of
the contact surface area with your hands as possible, you should receive a heart rate
reading within ten seconds. If a hand held signal is still not being accepted, skip to step 15.
14. If a hand held signal was accepted in step 13, the hand held contact wiring is reversed. The
end of the wire harness that connects to the hand held contacts in the handlebar is
segregated into two groups. One group has blue shrink wrap around it and the other group
has black shrink wrap around it. The “blue” group must go to the right hand contacts and the
“black” group must go to the left hand contacts. In both groups the black wire must go to the
lower contact and the red wire must go to the upper contact. If necessary, rewire the hand
held contacts as described above and test as described in step 6.
