This treadmill 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 fitness training. We would also stress that the complete equipment list and
the convincing performance range appeal to athletes and fitness conscious
persons of every age group.
Introduction
Designed and manufactured in conformity with the DIN EN 957 1/-6 Class
SA/HA standard, the ergo_run is suited for a therapeutic utilisation (It does not
meet the requirements for medical diagnosis usage in medical clinics).
The operating principle of the treadmill ergometer is based on a moving surface,
whose variable inclination can be definitely set. This physiological load can be
expressed in finite values.
The ergo_run adjusts itself to the users personal requirements.
The training intensity is controlled by adjusting the speed or the inclination, or
both parameters combined, under constant control of the heart rate frequency.
The ergo_run premium8 is thus more than just a Home Trainer, since it can
be used for sportive and therapeutic objectives.

to the physical condition of the user. If the belt is stopped (e.g. by pressing the
Stop button or through the Emergency Stop feature, because of a power failure,
etc) and if at this moment the inclination is set to positive value, the weight of
the user combined with the gravity will cause an acceleration of the belt.
During a training the Emergency Stop implements must always be within reach
of the user.
The Emergency Stop implements are only to be used in case of hazard or falling
down risks.
Do never step on the rear return cylinder (running belt extremity); this could set
the belt in motion. Falling risk!
The lateral and rear areas of the running belt and the lifting
mechanism have dangerous nipping points and slots. Users
with long hair, loose garments, jewellery, etc. may not come
close to these nipping points and slots. Including not in the

User Safety
When coupling many devices to a test site 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)
An 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
leakage currents could be generated on the housing (or use separate grounding,
housing leakage current).

EMERGENCY STOP Safety Rope
The ergo_run premium8 is equipped with an Emergency Stop Safety Rope. This
rope guarantees that when the user/patient is about to fall or when the user/patient
runs too slowly the running belt will stop automatically.
The patient/user must therefore attach himself or herself to the safety rope
before starting a training session (Fig. 1). The length of the safety rope must be
adjusted in such a way that the Emergency Stop Function is surely executed
when
- the user is about to fall.
- before the user reaches the rear third section of the running belt.
When the Emergency Stop Safety Rope is pulled out, the running belt will resume
its operation when the Start key is pressed (dashboard console) after the safety
rope is reinstalled on the dashboard (Fig. 2).
Switching ON / Off
Please read the safety notes before switching the ergo_run premium8 on.
Insert the ergo_memo-card2 in the dashboard before switching the device on.
Use the green On/Off switch " I " on the front motor cover of the device to switch
it on and off. The switch is illuminated in the ON position.
EMERGENCY STOP switch
The Emergency Stop switch must be unlocked before you can use the ergo_run
premium8. To unlock it turn the red button to the left/right slightly.
On-/Off switch
Only then can you use a computer to save e.g. mp3 files (in the \mp3 folder)
or update files (in the \update folder) on the card.
For safety reasons you must pull (route) the power cord to
the front of the device, otherwise it may be cut (ruptured) by
the elevation control mechanism.
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.
The interval period between turning OFF and ON the device
must always exceed 1 to 2 minutes. Otherwise the motor
controls may be damaged and/or the fuses may breakdown.
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 training 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.

Notes about Pulse Rate Measure
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. The measure of the pulse rate over the ear is much more precise than the
measure over the hand sensor.
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 closest possible to the head). The
contact surfaces must sit entirely on the skin.
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
could affect the measurements.
Wirless Pulse Measure
The Cardio sensor chest strap 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 measuring
range only if you use a non-coded wireless pulse rate transmitter.
To ensure the maximum efficiency of the Cardio sensor strap, you should lightly
humidify the contact surfaces (inner side) of the chest strap before starting the
training.
Note: Using two chest straps simultaneously in the same room,
either of the coded or non-coded type, at about 1.5 meter from
the receiver, can lead to the display of a wrong pulse rate.
Note:
When you train without ergo_memo-card2 you will not have the possibility to
store training results.
When you train without pulse rate measure, the pulse rate will not be displayed!

Fitness Test and Fitness Mark
The fitness test can be executed anytime during training. A pulse rate measuring
device (pulse sensor, ear clip, or chest strap) 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 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 fitness
mark the better is the training status (fitness) of the user.
When the fitness 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 pulse
rate within a period of 60 seconds and computes a fitness mark. Afterwards the
training resumes automatically at the interrupted position, and the load in Watt
is raised to its previous value.
e.g. Fitness test during a training
Relax-Function
The relax-function is a biofeedback-process that is measured over the electrical
resistance of the skin. Biofeedback is thus the translation into perceptible signals
of physiological processes occurring in our body whose values are indicated by
means of optical signals.
The ergo_run controls the relaxation process by means of the relax-function,
and highlights the process of stress elimination after a physical fitness 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 getting
off the device and sit in a relaxed position, or even lay down, close to the ergo_run
and calm down.
Connecting the relax sensor:
1. Attach the relax-sensor tape, with the big contact surface (Fig. A), to the
fingertip of the middle and index fingers on the inner side of the hand (Fig. B).
The Velcro tape should not be tightened too hard.
2. Plug the connector of the relax sensor into the Relax socket on the dashboard.

EThe program starts and the background melody plays.
Welcome to your Daum premium series training device
We start todays training unit with a gradually increasing load.
The second stage starts as soon as you reach your performance level:
Your pedalling speed will be raised gradually.
Following this warm-up in two stages the training continues in a natural landscape.
And finally ....
Presently your training device is set for a load of 80 watts. And this load will be gradually
raised to 125 watts within the next three minutes.
You should handle this load hands down!
And dont let my talking distract you - keep training!
Our last 10 seconds...
Now you can be really proud of yourself! It was sometimes very tough. Congratulations
 good work!
So, you are already through the first level of your warm-up training. We will now gradually
raise the speed of your training:
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 the right edge of the screen.
Obviously the faster you go, the higher the load will be for you!
Whenever it gets too difficult for you use the minus key, on the other hand use the plus
key if you feel underworked.
You already have put in a very good performance.
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
for fat burning.

Important Notes
Mains Voltage 230 Volt
Because of new regulations the mains voltage must be specified in the form of
a definite 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 department of the
manufacturer, or similarly qualified service personnel.
Training Hints
The ergo_run makes it possible to define and control the exercise sequence
yourself.
It is thus possible to adapt constantly the training plan to the capacities 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, kinesitherapy, and physical condition
training, 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 efficient 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 treadmill ergometer is also a great value
for sports medicine and physical education.
The fact that the training effort can be finely measured gives you the possibility
to carry out physical stress tests to get information on your physical condition.
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.
Running is a very efficient training form for fitness. You can carry out a controlled
running training at home without fearing any interference from bad weather. The
treadmill is also appropriate for walking exercises.
Running on a treadmill belt differs from running on normal ground. Therefore,
you should prepare for the running training by walking slowly on the belt.
A steady running pace and appropriate shoes (running shoes) are of great
significance for the efficiency and the benefit of the training with the ergo_run.
The wrong shoes can lead to overloading the joints, tendons
(sinews) and ligaments. Please ask your dealer for advice
when buying your running shoes.
Training Hints
Generally speaking, training twice a week will help retain your physical condition
level. To improve your fitness level you must train at least three or four times
per week.
You should consult a physician before increasing the number of weekly training
units, to avoid overloading yourself.
Enviromental Conditions
Treadmill 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 fields may disturb or deactivate some functions.
The vicinity of high voltage cables is also to be avoided.
Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying documentation and delivery
documents, all the devices are designed to be used in the usual closed conditions
under the climate conditions considered normal:
Temperature range: -10°C .....+40°C
The devices must therefore be protected against particular humidity effects.
Ventilation opening must not be covered in order to avoid restricting the circulation
of air. Storage temperature range: -20°C .....+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 rechargeable
batteries may loose their charge as a consequence of the lack of electrical power
supply. If the storage period of the device exceeds this period, it will eventually
need to be reprogrammed.
Used Symbols
The symbols used on the ergo_run premium8 comply with the IEC 417 and IEC
878 standards (table D1/D2).

Maintenance
!
Outside Cleaning
Clean the outside surfaces with a wetted soft cloth. Do not use any strong or
corrosive cleaning solution, or one containing solvents, (e.g., alcohol, stain
remover, etc).
Care should be taken to wipe out sweat drops after training (sweat attacks paint
and plastic parts).
Damage caused by sweat is not covered by the warranty.
You can clean the coating of the handrails with a mild detergent, applying
appropriate caution.
Clean the drinking bottle after use out of hygienic reasons. We also recommend
cleaning the bottle before filling it with various drinks, particularly if not used
regularly.
Noises
The lubricant applied by the manufacturer between the running belt and its base
plate must be renewed if the device is used frequently. At the very latest lubricate
the running belt when you hear dry rubbing sound while running.
Fastening Screws
All the fastening screws must be tightened up from time to time. We recommend
tightening them at least after the first 50 km and then once every 500 km.
About the V-belt
The driving surfaces of the drive pulley and the V-belt pulley are covered with
a rubber layer by the manufacturer.
This favours the development of an optimal fitting of the V-belt into the
grooves of the driving pulley during the first 500 to 1000 kilometres.
During the first 500 to 1000 km the belt will loose some excess rubber, which
will appear in the form of black powder deposits. You can remove these deposits
using a small brush or a vacuum cleaner.
In the Case of a Failure.............. What To Do It?
In the event of a failure, please check if:
- The data cables are correctly connected.
- The cable connectors are firmly plugged in.
- The cables were jammed or damaged during the assembly of the console on
the columns.
Contacting your dealer or the service department of the ergo_run
If the cause of the failure could not be identified, you should contact the dealer,
where you bought the device, or daum electronic gmbh.
We need the following information:
1. The device number (this number is on a silver label underneath of the power
ON/OFF switch).
2. The dashboard version number (you can access this number under the menu
item Main Menu - Information - Device info).
3. The proof of purchase and the device reference sheet.
If you wish to obtain more information on your device, please visit our service
and repair hints site on Internet (www.daum-electronic.de).
Should the dashboard operation fail and cannot be restored by mean of normal
keys operations, then the solution would be to press the recessed RESET key
(Page 7/No. 17) underneath the dashboard with a pointed tool (e.g. a pencil or
ball pen).
Please note that the last set of training data and results will
be definitively lost when you press the RESET key.
