CONSOLE OPERATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This exercise unit is equipped with a generator (dynamo). The generator uses the energy
produced by the user (while exercising) to power the electronic monitor and the brake
controller.
This exercise unit also includes a set of batteries that store enough energy to keep the
electronic monitor operating for 60 seconds after the exercise has finished.
Should the battery run down because of an operational fault, it can be recharged by using the
15V adapter that is supplied with the exercise unit.
To switch the monitor on, begin exercising.
ATTENTION: Plug one end of the 15V adapter into the unit per Figure 9 and the other end into
an appropriate outlet.
The electronic monitor is designed to be easy and intuitive to use. The messages that appear
on the bottom screen (B) will guide the user throughout the whole exercise.
Nevertheless, we recommend that the gym instructor reads through this section carefully to
become fully familiar with the electronic monitor in order to show the user how to operate it
correctly.
NOTE: TO ENSURE THAT THE BATTERIES OPERATE CORRECTLY AND LAST LONGER,
RECHARGE THEM USING THE 15V ADAPTER (N) SUPPLIED WITH THE UNIT.

CONSOLE OPERATION
ELEMENTS OF THE ELECTRONIC MONITOR (Figure 20)
The electronic monitor is made up of two distinct areas:
The top area, Figure 21 (A – B – C) for the DISPLAY
The bottom area, Figure 22 (E – F – G) for the KEYPAD
DISPLAY
This area is comprised of two screens.
(A) The top LED array displays real-time exertion levels being produced during the selected
program.
(B) Bottom alphanumeric screen, which guides the user selection options and exercise.
The top screen (A) displays the various pre-programmed exercise profiles (programs) that can
be selected and, during exercise, current exertion levels.
The bottom alphanumeric screen (B) is used to guide the user when selecting the exercise to
do, as well as displaying information about the exercise both during and after the session. The
LED indicators (C) located below the alphanumeric screen give a simultaneous readout of
SPEED, RPM; TIME, DISTANCE; CALORIES, WATTS; PULSE and indicate which information
is being displayed throughout the exercise.
The data that are displayed on the LEDs (C) during exercise are as follows:
SPEED: This shows an estimated value of the linear velocity at which a bicycle will travel
based on the user’s pedaling rate.
RPM: (Revolutions Per Minute) This shows the current pedalling rate during exercise. It
indicates the number of full turns that the crank makes in one minute.
TIME: This shows the time that has elapsed since you started the exercise or, if a time limit
has been established, the amount of time left before the exercise finishes. The time is
displayed in minutes and seconds (mm:ss).
DISTANCE: This shows the distance that you have travelled since beginning the exercise. The
distance is calculated by using the estimated linear speed.
CALORIES: This shows the estimated number of calories that have been burned off up until
now. This calculation is based on the energy being produced and the weight and age values
provided by the user.

BH Fitness SK9000B
Page 15
CONSOLE OPERATION
WATTS: This shows the amount of energy currently being produced during the exercise. This
calculation is based on the exertion level at which the user is working and the pedaling rate.
The information is displayed in Watts.
PULSE: This shows the user’s heart rate recorded through the handlebar pulse sensors or a
telemetric chest belt such as the POLAR T41 transmitter.
