This ergometer is specially designed for health and endurance training. High
quality manufacturing, an easy to read dashboard, and ease of use and of
maintenance contribute to make this appliance an ideal training device for
sport and tness training. We would also stress that the complete equipment
list and the convincing performance range appeal to athletes and tness con-
scious persons of every age group.
Introduction
Designed and manufactured in conformity with the DIN EN 957 1/-9 Class
SA/HA standard, the ergo_lyps is more than a home trainer. It is suited for
sportive and therapeutic utilisation at home.
An important aspect, and therefore an identifying feature, of an ergometer is
the fact that the required pedalling resistance in watt can be prescribed. This
pedalling resistance will be maintained irrespective of the pedalling speed.
The advantage being that the user cannot unknowingly be subjected to a
wrong load (see diagram on page 38).
At the heart of the ergo_lyps is the full electronically controlled, maintenance
free, eddy current brake, which adjusts the braking load to t the user’s perso-
nal requirements based on the computed data, and which allows a continuous
load setting from 20 to 600 Watt.
Keywords Glossary / Info Texts
Please refer to the information concerning each operation status stored in the
dashboard. Use the Info-key to display this information.
The keywords glossary provides additional information and explanations.
The keywords glossary and the info-texts are an essential part of this
user manual!
Data Interface
You can use a personal computer (PC) to control the ergo_lyps premium88.
A special data cable is needed to this effect, which you can order from daum
electronics gmbh.

Notes About Personal Safety
The ergo_lyps ergometer is intended for adults. Children
should only be allowed to train with the ergometer under
adult supervision.
PPersons suffering from any of the following diseases should consult their
family physician or a specialist before starting training with the ergo_lyps.
- Heart disorders like angina pectoris, coronary thrombosis (infarct), stenosis,
and high blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Respiratory disorders like asthma, chronic bronchitis, etc.
- Rheumatism
- Gout
- Or any other disease or illness
You should never train when you feel ill or weak.
Persons who are not used to exercise must start with an easy training pro-
gram, and then increase the load intensity very gradually. Persons with de-
clared health problems must evaluate their personal risks with the help of their
family physician.
You should never use the ergo_lyps to nd out your maximum physi-
cal load capacity. This can have serious consequences on your health
Please read the user manual carefully before starting to use the training de-
vice.
The user manual should be kept in the direct vicinity of the ergo_lyps premi-
um88. It is an integral component of the device.
The manufacturer will not be held liable if the ergometer is not used in compli-
ance with the provided instructions and consequently causes injury to persons
or other severe consequences, as well as material damages.
daum electronic gmbh considers itself to be liable for the safety, reliability and
functionality of the device only if:
- the device is used in compliance with the instructions of the user manual.
The device is not protected against the inltration of liquids.
Direct contact with humidity or liquids must absolutely be avoided.
Care must be taken to wipe out sweat drops after training (sweat attacks paint
and plastic parts).
Damages caused by sweat are not covered by the warranty.
Cellular telephones may not be used in the direct vicinity of the device, other-
wise they may interfere with its functionality.
When interconnecting many devices care must be taken to avoid any danger
arising from the summation of the leakage currents and to ensure the potential
equalisation is effected through a common current (power) supply (e.g. a wall
socket-outlet). If you have any questions please ask your dealer or the service
department of daum electronic gmbh.
If a socket with multiple outlets is installed after the initial start-up, no other
device may be connected to this socket. (use covers on the multiple sockets)
Only cables certied by daum electronic gmbh may be used to connect the
device with other devices.
A electrical shock hazard exists when touching devices that are not separately
grounded.
Defective or faulty devices and accessories may not be used.
The personal computer and all other connected devices (e.g. monitor, printer,
etc) must be installed at least 1.5m away from the training place, because lea-
kage currents could be generated on the housing (or use separate grounding,
housing leakage current).
Electromagnetic interferences are primarily characterised by the oscillation
of the displayed load value. If the displayed value varies uncontrollably, even
when the speed is higher than 30 RPM, this can be an effect of electromagne-
tic compatibility (EMC).
Ergometers are not suited for operation in rooms and / or areas with explosion
risks or in a combustive atmosphere. The devices may not be operated in
the near vicinity of e.g. motors or transformers with big electrical connections
because electric or magnetic elds may disturb or deactivate some functions.
The vicinity of high voltage cables is also to be avoided.
Unless otherwise specied in the accompanying documentation and delivery
documents, all the devices are designed to be used in the usual closed condi-
tions under the climate conditions considered normal:
Temperature range:+ 10° to +40° C
The devices must therefore be protected against particular humidity effects.
Ventilation opening must not be covered in order to avoid restricting the circu-
lation of air. Storage temperature range: -20°C to +50°C.
All the devices may be stored for a maximum period of 6 to 9 months without
being connected to an electrical power supply. Beyond this period the rechar-
geable batteries may loose their charge as a consequence of the lack of elec-
trical power supply. If the storage period of the device exceeds this period, it
will eventually need to be reprogrammed.
Compliance to Standards
The ergometer may not be used if the certications/approval and the dened
safety standards do not comply with the local prescriptions. The local country
specications must be compared with those of the device before using the
device and the device may only be used if they comply with each other.
Mains Voltage 230 Volt
Because of new regulations the mains voltage must be specied in the form
of a denite value. Consequently, the mains voltage values indicated with a
tolerance from 220 to 240 Volt will be restricted for all the ergometers of daum
electronic to the single mains voltage value of 230 Volt.
Mains Power Supply
In order to avoid all hazards any damages to the connection cable, to the
mains power supply or to the On/Off switch must immediately be repaired, or
replaced with new parts, by the manufacturer, the customer service depart-
ment of the manufacturer, or similarly qualied service personnel
Used Symbols
The symbols used on the ergo_lyps premium88 comply with the IEC 417 and
IEC 878 standards (table D1/D2).

You should pay attention to providing good training conditions; this includes
choosing the training room and installation place. Makeshift installation
places do not incite to training!
The ergo_lyps makes it possible to dene and control the exercise sequence
yourself. It is thus possible to continually adapt the training plan to the capa-
cities of the user. This device is suitable for therapeutic use.
It does not meet the requirements for medical and diagnostic usage (in
medical clinics).
Ergometers are designed for endurance, agility, and physical condition trai-
ning, as well as for strengthening the cardiovascular system and increasing
the muscle mass. The inclusion of the pulse rate in the parameters used to
control the load enables training in the efcient aerobic zone.
Being in the aerobic zone means the muscles’ loading is at the exact level
where they can be adequately supplied with oxygen without overproduction
of lactic acid (muscles’ ache). Therefore, the ergometer bike is also a great
value for sports medicine and physical education.
The fact that the training effort can be nely measured gives you the possibi-
lity to carry out physical stress tests to get information on your physical con-
dition. You can thus identify early any cardiovascular problems and, with the
help of a physician, set up a special endurance training-plan to deal with them.
A relaxed body posture is essential for the efciency and the benet of the
training with the ergo_lyps. You should not be tensed up while training. You
should wear loose training garments so that you don’t get into sweat too
easily and are not constricted by the clothes.
You should only train with sport shoes. These should not have a very hard or
smooth (slippery) sole. We recommend a non slippery sole that is relatively
soft and well structured. This type of shoe will give you a good stability on the
coarse structure of the step plates, which must be maintained for your own
security
.
Training Hints
Generally speaking, training twice a week will help retain your physical con-
dition level. To improve your tness level you must train at least three or four
times per week.
You should consult a physician before increasing the number of weekly trai-
ning units, to avoid overloading yourself.

Assembly Notes
The ergometer should be installed on a level and solid ground (e.g. a
concrete oor). For other oor types we recommend installing and using
the device on a protective base. Appropriate oor protection bases can
be ordered from daum electronic gmbh. Order No. 0810402.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage done to the
oor.
DThe training device should be installed on a level ground and clean. The
device must have a horizontal stand and be stable. The feet must be adjusted
to provide these conditions and must all have contact with the oor.
It is not intended for use in rooms with damp conditions. This could cause rust
to build up on the ergo_lyps, which would damage device parts and impair
both the operating functions and the safety features.
The load carrying capacity of the oor must amount to at least 600 kg / sq.m.
if in doubt consult a structure analyst/engineer.
The device may only be connected to a power outlet (see connections) and
used when all the conditions above are satised.
The ergo_lyps functions with a mains voltage of 230 Volt, 50 Hz and has a
power consumption of 65 Watt. The power supply you wish to use must satisfy
these requirements!
Please make sure the power cord is unplugged before pro-
ceeding with the assembly/installation!
Transport and packaging
The manufacturer and dealer will not be held liable for any
transport damage and for missing parts.
Please take the time to carefully inspect the package and
its content upon delivery of the device. Any claim referring
to transport damages will only be accepted by the transport
insurance if they are immediately recorded in writing on the
delivery documents of the freight forwarder.

Switching On / Off
Please read the safety notes before switching the ergo_lyps premium88 on.
Insert the ergo_memo-card2 in the dashboard before switching the device
on.
Use the On/Off switch „O / I“ on the lower front section of the device to switch
it on and off.
When switched on, the system takes about 1 minute to load the software. The
colour screen displays during this time a software load progress bar.
Wait for the beep signal before using the dashboard.
If the memory card is inserted after the device is switched on then you must
wait for the beep signal.
This can take about 5 seconds. (if the card is empty it will be initialised).
In principle the memory card should be pulled out while you are not pedalling
or only after the beep signal!
The protection slider on the ergo_memo-card2 must point to the bottom when
the card is inserted into the dashboard. This will make it possible to write to
the card. If the slider points upward the card is locked/write protected.
Only then can you use a computer to save e.g. mp3 les (in the \mp3 folder)
or update les (in the \update folder) on the card. The maximum allowable
card size is 1GByte.
Points to consider while manipulating memory cards?
1. The electronic components can be damaged by electrostatic discharges.
Therefore you should eliminate (discharge) any potential electrostatic
charge of your body before manipulating a memory card. You can do this
by touching a grounded metal object (e.g. heating system, water piping).
2. Avoid touching the exposed contact pins of the memory card.
3. The memory card should not be exposed to heat, direct sun shine and
humidity.
4. Do not bend, twist or drop the memory card.
5. In order to avoid data loss and / or damage to the memory card you
should NEVER remove the card from the used device during the transfer
of data. Do NEVER pull the card from the device while data are being
written, e.g. during a training session or while a user is pedalling.
6. Make backups on a PC of the data stored on the card at regular intervals
.
U shaped Handle
Loosen the star knob 1, adjust the U shaped handle and the dashboard to
the required position and tighten the star knob back.
Be careful while adjusting the handle to avoid cutting the cables

Notes about Heart Pulse Rate Measurement
Ear Pulse Rate Measure
Every heart pulse modulates the light passing through the lobe, and can thus
be detected by an infrared sensor in the ear clip, and displayed as heart pulse
rate.
Please make sure that the ear clip is correctly put on:
1. Insert the connector into the Cardio socket.
2. You should rub the ear lobe to stimulate blood circulation.
3. Attach the ear clip to the ear lobe (the closes possible to the head). The
contact surfaces must sit entirely on the skin.
4. After the training clean the ear clip with a soft cloth and 5% soap-
suds.
The scattering in the display of the pulse rate variability is larger than with the
wireless pulse measure (factor 2).
Note: Strong light sources, like sunlight, halogen projectors, and neon
lamps, and also ear piercing or ear rings, or the intake of beta-blocker.
Wireless heart rate measure - Cardio Sensor Belt
The Cardio sensor chest belt transmits the pulse rate directly to the integrated
wireless Cardio pulse receiver in the device. This pulse measurement method
is the most precise.
Note: Your pulse rate will be correctly evaluated over the whole measu-
ring range only if you use a non-coded wireless pulse rate transmitter.
To ensure the maximum efciency of the Cardio sensor belt, you should lightly
humidify the contact surfaces (inner side) of the chest strap before starting
the training.
Note: Using two chest belts simultaneously in the same
room close to one another, at about 1.5 meter from the re-
ceiver, can lead to the display of a wrong pulse rate.
See tables and diagram for heart pulse rate evaluation page 33.

Setting Limit Values
In order to protect the user against overloading or physical injuries the training
intensity can be controlled by various adjustable limit values. These should
be set in menu “Setting” before starting training or before setting the loading
values after a few training units.
“Dynamic Limit Values” and “Static Limit Values” can be set.
- Due to their natural variability, dynamic limit values are continually over and
under run.
- Static limit values are reached only once per training.
Setting the Dynamic Limit Value for “Watt”.
“Watt” limit value reached while training
The eld displaying the watt value will be highlighted in Red when the set
“Watt” limit value is reached or exceeded during training. If the loading is
reduced and thus falls below the limit value the warning is removed.

Fitness Test and Fitness Mark
The tness test can be executed anytime during training. A heart pulse rate
measuring device (pulse sensor, ear clip, or chest belt) must be connected and
functional, and the training should had already started at least 10 minutes earlier.
The measurement principle is based on the fact that the heart pulse rate falls
faster within one minute (following a load period) for well-trained users than
for less trained users. Fitness marks from 1 to 6 are assigned. The lower the
tness mark the better is the training status (tness) of the user.
When the tness test is started during training, the present training will be
interrupted and the load will be lowered to minimum value for the device for
a short period of time. During this pause the system measures the drop in
heart pulse rate within a period of 60 seconds and computes a tness mark.
Afterwards the training resumes automatically at the interrupted position, and
the load in Watt is raised to its previous value.

Relax Function
The relax-function is a biofeedback-process that is measured over the electri-
cal resistance of the skin. Biofeedback is thus the translation into perceptible
signals of physiological processes occurring in our body the values of which are
indicated by means of optical signals.
The ergo_lyps controls the relaxation process by means of the relax-function,
and highlights the process of stress elimination after a physical tness training
or other loading.
The displayed relax value drops gradually with increasing relaxation level and
increases with the increase of stress level. You can assist this process by get-
ting off the ergometer and sit in a relaxed position, or even lay down, close to
the ergo_lyps and calm down.

And don’t let my talking distract you - keep training!“
“So, you are already through the rst level of your warm-up training. We will now gradu-
ally raise the speed of your training:
You should now hold a pedalling speed of 60 RPM for now – if you pedal too fast things
get more difcult, if you pedal too slowly things get easier! Only at the proper speed will
your training be effective!”
“OK now, let’s go up in the mountains!
You can now decide at what speed you’ll move forward with the plus and minus keys at

Obviously the faster you go, the higher the load will be for you!
Whenever it gets too difcult for you use the minus key, on the other hand use the plus
key if you feel under worked.”

We start now the softer last part, the heart rate training.
The selected heart rate range from 130 to 140 beats per minute is also well appropriate

Premium-Coaching
Introduction
The “Coaching” concept introduces an intelligent training program offering
the user four different training targets to choose from. The integrated
computer takes charge of the supervision and control of the training.
Users have various interests. Some users may wish to practice a special
cardiovascular training for health reasons, while others may prefer tness
training or weight and fat content reduction, or even muscular mass
development.
The ergo_lyps will compute and monitor an optimal training plan based
on an individual tness test and a personal performance evaluation as
well as the available time. This training plan will be continually updated
and adjusted through regular and automatic control of the training results
to ensure an optimal training and success.
The ergo_lyps will input the physical condition of the user, and the trai-
ning objective the user sets for himself, and produces the correct training
plan automatically.
- Coaching means: “Set your training objective and start training”. Every-
thing else will be individually adapted to the user.
- Coaching is, when used properly and with discipline, a simple, very
efcient, and logical program. The coaching program is the ideal training
partner of any user who wants to train regularly with an ergometer.
It is important here to apply the program as much as possible in con-
formity with the training prescription issued by the computer for each
user, and that the training objectives correspond to the needs of the
user. Every user using this program, with regular training and proper
programming, will experience a positive effect on his tness level and
his general stand toward training with an ergometer.
Fundamentals
The intelligent training program Coaching offers ergometer users the possibi-
lity to approach the training device without worries. The device takes care of
all information and prescriptions to establish an optimal training model for the
user. Instead of simply training “haphazardly”, users benet from a professi-
onally constructed training plan, taking into account their available time, their
actual and individual capacities, and their personal objectives.
To optimally use this program you must take the following essential
points into consideration from the beginning:
1. All programs and training proles were developed for healthy people. Users
wishing to use the Coaching program are required to invest a substantial
amount of time, to demonstrate endurance and willingness to perform, and
to be disciplined. Therefore we urgently recommend that users undergo a
thorough medical examination to determine their physical ability for sport
activities before starting a training with the intelligent coaching program.
Should a user feel ill during a coaching training, he or she should seek me-
dical advice about physical activities and continuing the training.
2. The user is required to enter the amount of time he or she can or want
to train (the number of training units per week), and to evaluate his own
tness level. The user should not overestimate his capacity regarding
the number of training units and their difculty grade. In sport activity
overworking does not help, while a thoughtful and controlled training plan
leads generally faster and more efciently to its objective.
The same applies also to the self evaluation of the user physical perfor-
mance capacities before starting Coaching. A user who evaluates his
capacities at a lower level will achieve his training objectives safely and
without overworking, even though in a longer period of time.
3. The user must take a performance test at the start of the Coaching plan,
and then once every 4 weeks. The computer uses this test to determine
the load prescriptions (e.g. the maximum load in watt and the maximum
heart pulse rate during the training). This test is a full load test, and the
user should only take it to the point where she or he can go without
overworking or overloading himself.
We recommend to pedal at a speed of about 65 to 80 RPM during the
performance test. Users with a very high physical performance capacity
can also pedal at a speed of 80 to 100 RPM.
Very important!
Please do not let your ambition pull you! you must
absolutely avoid a physical overload! Stop the test
immediately if you feel the effort required is too high!
4. When used properly, the coaching program will not turn users into high
performance athletes. The goal of this program is to preserve your health
and to increase your performance capacities, and to make you globally
“t”.
5. The user must make a very personal decision before the start of a
coaching program; which training objective is the most important for him.
The main objectives of the coaching program are (see also the overview
diagram “Coaching” at the beginning of the chapter):
- Cardiovascular training
- tness training
- weight / fat content reduction
- muscular development
Premium Coaching leads you on an optimal path to the required training
success based on the latest discoveries about sports activities.
Coaching prerequisites
The following basic prerequisites must be satised, and the important
settings must be done on the dashboard before the coaching program
can be started.
- A user should train with the coaching program only with the pulse sensor
(ear clip), or the Cardio sensor chest belt (see page 6), on.
- Since the program depends on many personal and exact data, if possible,
all the required data and alarm values must be entered before starting the
program for the rst time. Take into consideration that, as a special case
for the Coaching program, the data about the training duration (time), the
distance (km), and the kJoule burned need not be entered. These values
are computed by the computer of the ergo_lyps for the Coaching program
based on other data such as the training type, the training plan, and the
training control.

Personal Performance Evaluation
The users must evaluate their very personal performance capacities (in 4
levels) in connection with the entry of the required personal data and alarm
values, particularly for the utilisation of the coaching program. The directions
provided in the following section should help the users evaluate their own per-
formance capacities.
Beginner:
You don’t have any training experience or practice physical activity only occa-
sionally and very irregularly. In this case we recommend selecting the beginner
category. This applies also for users who are returning from a long training
interruption (e.g. because of an injury or an illness).
Average:
You do sport regularly. But you are mainly oriented toward ball games or recre-
ational sport activities, less toward endurance sport. The training frequency is
about 1 to 2 hours per week.
Advanced:
You do regularly endurance sport (e.g. jogging, biking, etc.). The training fre-
quency is about 2 to 4 hours per week.
Very well trained:
You have an extensive training experience in endurance sport. Your physical
performance and load capacity is above average. Your present training fre-
quency is at least 3 hours per week, preferably in endurance sport.
Entry of your Personal Performance Evaluation:
Training Frequency
By setting the training frequency the user sets the number of training units
per week independently of the days. The user has the possibility to choose
from “3 times per week” to a maximum of “7 times per week”. In order to
achieve the personal training objective the user must complete these training
units. This guarantees that the Coaching program produces an efcient
training plan with the prescribed training objective.

immediately.
There are 4 Coaching types to choose from:
- Cardiovascular
- Weight and fat reduction
- Fitness training
- Muscular development.
We urgently advise you to undergo a medical physical aptitude test before
taking the performance test to avoid negative effects on your health.
As long as the rst performance test is not executed the Coaching menu will
present the option “Coaching type”.
Coaching Performance Test Interrupted
DThe rst performance test is interrupted when the user presses the “Inter-

reached).
e.g. interrupted by user
Coaching Performance Test Successfully Completed
The values of load and heart pulse rate achieved are stored. Now the Coa-
ching menu has the options “Coaching Types” and “Last Test Results”.
e.g. Recalling last test results
The user can change the values displayed by the “Last Test Results” option
by doing an adaptation of the pulse rate and watt values. A warning is then
displayed to inform the user that this is done at his own risks.
