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 “vita 2002 pc de luxe”
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.

Upon turning on the power switch (On/Off),
the six display windows of the dashboard
will display all the symbols and number
segments for about eight seconds. This is
a self test run by the computer on the entire system.
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 graphic display (window no. 6) provides for more
functional and visual convenience. Displaying training
diagrams, user guidance and hints are functions that
can only be displayed on a graphic display.

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”!

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.

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

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
could affect the measurements!
Pulse sensor (ear clip)
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.

The warns you when the limit pulse rate is exceeded and the danger zone is reached, by displaying

ergo_bike
Users should preferably consult a physician to determine the reasonably acceptable personal pulse rate.
(see also page 7 / Table and diagram of the target pulse rate)
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:
(see pages 6 and 7 / aerobic pulse zone and target pulse rate)
About the duration of the training, distance and kJoule burned
If an upper limit for the load in Watt is entered (devault value/ DF = 400 watt), 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.
These data / alarm value entries determine indirectly when a training program is terminated, i.e. when A - a time
limit, B - a distance limit or C - a limit value of kJoule to burn is reached.
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.
2.0 Data entry and alarm levels set up
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.
(see page 6)
The manual program must be selected before the entry of the data or alarm levels, otherwise
the entry of the pulse rate level will be skipped.
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.
About the weight
About the personal performance evaluation
About the body fat content
About the sex and height
This data completes the profile stored by the computer for each user. And even the minimal difference in
capacities due to the sex has an important impact.
The weight has an important impact in the training for fitness improvement, and in the global physical activities.
The user should therefore enter this value consciously, in order for the training to be properly measured and
evaluated. The weight can be entered or adjusted daily (see page 56). Thus, the fitness evaluation function can
produce more precise data about the training results.
You should use a good body fat analyser, available commercially, to determine the body fat content value. The
measured values (between 0% and 55%) can be entered daily in the computer of the (see page 56).
The default value (DF) is set at 30%.

About the Watt upper limit
About the pulse rate limit
Here the user is required to evaluate his or her own performance capacities. The user must grade his
performance according to the following scale 0 -1 - 2 - 3. Where grade 0means the user is a beginner and
grade 3means the user is a very well trained sportsman. (See also the information about your own
performance evaluation on page H3 in the chapter about the Coaching program).
