PART 2 - Using the Vasa Ergometer
IMPORTANT: PLEASE
REMOVE THE BATTERIES
from the monitor if it will not
be used for 3+ months.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The batteries in your Vasa Ergometer Power Meter should last about
600 hours. When you see “LOW CELLS” in the top two fields of your
Power Meter, the batteries should be changed.
To change the batteries, open the battery compartment on the back
of the Power Meter (Figure A). The Power Meter takes two “AA”
batteries (alkaline are fine).
BATTERY SAVE FEATURE
There is a 5 minute timeout feature on your Power Meter. If there is no “activity” the Power Meter will
power down after 5 minutes (“activity” includes inputs from pulling on the drive cord, pushing buttons, or
serial communications with a computer).
Any workout information will be cleared from the memory as
soon as it shuts off.
RE-ZERO POWER METER ONCE CONNECTED TO CABLES
You should RE-ZERO the Power Meter every time it is reconnected to the connection cables (i.e. batteries
replaced, removed from machine, etc.). To RE-ZERO (calibrate) the Power Meter, please follow these
simple steps:
1. Plug in the cables to the Power Meter and make sure they are seated correctly into the jacks;
2. Next, turn OFF until you hear a short “beep”;
3. Next, turn ON by pressing the ON/OFF button. DO NOT PULL on the cords.
4. Next, turn OFF again (wait for short “beep”).
5. The Power Meter is now ready to use. You may start by pressing ON/OFF or just exercising.
REMOVING THE POWER METER
It is NOT recommended that you remove the Power Meter from the Vasa Ergometer on a regular basis.
If you need to remove the Power Meter, it is suggested that you remove the batteries. When you
reconnect the Power Meter make sure to follow the RE-ZERO procedures stated above.
NOTE: Prior to disconnecting the connection cables, power the unit OFF and wait for the delayed “beep”
to ensure the computer has properly shut down. Disconnecting prior to this can cause the Power Meter
to display irregular data.
ODOMETER
The odometer function allows you to track total swim distance, total kayak
distance, time in seconds and left and right arm strokes on your Vasa Ergometer.
To display the odometer, press and hold “SHIFT”, then press “DISPLAY”. Use the
“DISPLAY” button to cycle through the various totals:
Display #0 Total SWIM METERS
Display #1 Total KAYAK METERS
Display #2 Total SECONDS IN OPERATION
Display #3 Total STROKES / LEFT SIDE
Display #4 Total STROKES / RIGHT SIDE
