Notes about Software Update
The heart of the dashboard consists of a modern Flash ROM Processor
It allows upgrading all the software related functions, training
programs and fitness tests to the latest release,
even years from now.
The latest software is available for download at the ergo_bike
homepage on Internet and can be transfered to the dashboard
with the ergo_win 2002 PC program
You will find the instructions for this operation in the
the software.

Introduction
What is an ergometer bike?
This ergometer is specially designed for health and endurance training. High quality manuf-
acturing, easy to see dashboard, ease of use and maintenance all contribute to make this
appliance an ideal training device for sport and fitness purposes. Also note that the complete
equipment and the wide performance range should appeal to sport or fitness conscious
persons of every age group.
A full electronically controlled, maintenance free, eddy current break is at the heart of the
ergo_bike. It adjusts the load according to the values determined by the computer to fit the
strictly personal requirements, and allows a continuous load value selection from 25 to
400 Watt.
The ergometer is thus more than a “Home Trainer”, since it can
be used for both sports and therapeutic objectives.
ergo_bike cardio2002 pc
About this manual
You will find an explanation of the concepts
and expression that are new to you in the
Glossary in the appendix.
This load is then maintained independently of the speed expressed in revolutions per
minute (within the RPM ranges shown on the graph on page 9), which means it is possible
to train with a load that is considerably independent of the pedaling RPM. This feature
prevents an unwitting exposure to incorrect loads while training.
The cover of this manual contains a foldout page. This greatly simplifies the general
manipulations and the location of the display and control components on the folded out page.
An appropriate symbol is used to identify
various important information and remarks.
Please read them carefully.
The present instruction manual describes the
The ergo_bike was developped and manufactured in accordance with the standard
A DIN EN 957-1/5 (formerly DIN 32932/A), and is therefore suitable for therapeutic purposes.
The ability to prescribe the required power load in Watt beforehand is an essential
feature of an ergometer.

General information
Setting up
Switching On / Off
Please read the Notes on Safety (page 19)
before switching the ergo_bike on, and follow
the installation and assembly instructions
(pages M1 - M12).
The On/Off switch (power switch) is located
at the back in a rectangular plastic frame on
the rear perforated plate cover.
Upon turning on the power switch (On/Off), the five display windows of the dashboard will
display all the symbols and number segments for about two seconds. This is a self
test on the entire system.run by the computer
The ergo_bike switches automatically to stand by mode if it is left switched on and unused
for about two hours. This is signaled by three beep sounds and ten times blinking of all
the windows, and by the display of “SLP” in window number 2. All other windows are
blanked. This mode is terminated by pressing control button number 6.
The ergo_bike should be switched off by mean of the
On/Off switch or by pulling the power cord plug
from the power outlet.
Please note:
The value of the daily kilometer counter (the wide arrow pointing to Distance) will
always be added to the total kilometer counter (the arrow pointing to User/Km Total),

The downward pointing arrow starts blinking
to indicate that the aerobic rate zone is exceeded by an
excessive margin (the danger-zone is reached),
and the user risks injury by overexercising.
The aerobic zone is a function of the age, it can be determined on the graph
“Target pulse frequency” and the table “target zones of heart frequency” (page 7).
The aerobic pulse zone is only displayed if the user enters his age.
(see page 16 / personal data / alarm levels / age entry )
that the user is training below the aerobic zone. To get to the “OK ” zone
the user must either train longer and/or increase
the braking power in Watt.
that the user is training above the aerobic pulse rate zone.
To get to the “ OK ” zone the user must reduce
the braking power in Watt.
A beep sound combined to the downward blinking arrow
indicates that the user has reached the “alarm zone”.
The ergo_bike starts reducing the braking power automatically
at a rate of 5 Watt per second until the pulse rate of the user
falls into the “danger-zone”.
If the training session is program controlled, and if the training is , the watt setting
will automatically reduced by the same reduction needed to bring the pulse rate to the “danger zone”!

If the braking power is reduced by, e.g., 50 Watt in the danger zone, and the value set for the next
program step is, e.g., 150 Watt, then the training will in fact be carried forward with a load
of 100 Watt, as will be shown in the Watt display (window No. 5). The computer makes this
adjustment as a safety measure.

Pulse sensors / Cardio sensor chest band
The pulse sensor (ear clip) included in the package is an important accessory to
the ergo_bike. You should not start any training session without it, or without the Cardio
sensor chest band available as an option ! The pulse sensors built into the handle can
be used to control or monitor the heart rate over short periods of time.
ergo_bike
Special accessory
You will find a precise description of the display
and the meaning of the corresponding display
symbols on page 6 (Displaying pulse status). available from:
The wireless Cardio sensor chest band
(see the figure to the right), available as an
optional accessory (order number 90 91 015),
permits more precise measurements.
( See page T 1 )
All ergo_bike ergometers are equipped with a built-in, not visible from the outside, Cardio pulse receiver.
This allows receiving of the pulse rate transmitted by any standard chest band, of the coded and non-
coded type. You only need a cardio sensor chest band (see page T1) to achieve wireless heart rate
measurement.
Warning: using two chest bands simultaneously in the same room, either of the coded or non-
coded type, to achieve wireless heart rate measurement can lead to the display of a wrong pulse
rate on the dashboard of the ergo_bike.

Pulse measurement over the hand surface
The sensors built in the handle are used to control and monitor the pulse rate over short periods of time. To
achieve a correct measure you should lay your hands relaxed and loose (not tight) on the electrodes. The
electrical resistance of the skin varies as a consequence of blood pressure variations due to heart pulses.
These variations are measured by the electrodes and displayed as heart rate on the dashboard.
The ear clip pulse sensor illuminates the ear lobe to measure
the pulse rate. Every heart pulse modulates the light passing through the lobe, and can thus be detected
by an infrared sensor and displayed as heart pulse rate. Built in hand pulse sensor

Insert the connector into the socket no. 8
on the dashboard marked with .
1.
Attach the pulse sensor (ear clip) to
the ear lobe so that the two contact surfaces
sit entirely on the skin. The heart symbol in
display window 1 starts blinking to
indicate that the ear clip is properly attached
and functional!
You should rub the ear lobe energetically
with your fingers to stimulate blood circulation.
Warning!
Strong light sources, like sunlight, halogen
projectors or neon lamps, and also ear piercing
or ear rings, and the intake of beta-blocker

Advice: If measuring the pulse rate over the hand electrodes gives no results, we recommend using
either the ear clip method or the Cardio sensor chest band. The variations of the electrical
resistance of the skin are so small for some persons that they cannot be used to acquire any
usable results.

2. Setting up personal data and alarm levels
Users should preferably consult a physician to determine the reasonably
acceptable personal pulse rate.

Selection of the user ID number User (1 to 4) + Guest
for burning fat 160 - ( minus ) age = pulse rate
200 - ( minus ) age = pulse rate
for endurance training
Rule of thumb to
determine the pulse rate limit:
About the age entry
About the Watt upper limit
About the pulse rate
The computer of the records, saves and evaluates, separately the training
data of up to four users (user identification number 1 - 4).
ergo_bike
Additionally, guests or other users, whose training data should not be stored,
can train under user identification number “0”.
(see pages 6 and 7 / aerobic pulse zone and target pulse rate)
The computer of the compares these entries with the actual training
values and evaluates them accordingly.

Preparing for training
Personal settings Training
If an upper limit for the load in Watt is entered, then the pulse controlled programs will raise the
load up to this limit. No further increase of the load will occur when the entered limit is reached,
even if the pulse rate did not yet reach the target value. This also applies to all types of programs
(watt, speed, manual, RPM, etc.), as the load in watt will not exceed the value entered for the limit.

The dashboard of the ergo_bike permits the entry of personal alarm levels for pulse rate, upper watt limit,
training time, distance and burned KJoule. When an alarm level is reached during training, a beep signal is
sounded and the corresponding limit arrow is displayed. If you continue training, the beep signal stops, and
only the arrow indicates that the corresponding alarm has been reached.

If the alarm level of the pulse rate is reached or exceeded, the ergo_bike reduces automatically the braking
power in five watts per second increments until the actual pulse rate falls below the alarm level.
The entry of the age is mandatory for the display of the aerobic pulse zone for the user.
