MONITORING YOUR HEART RATE
Feedback
Your Horizon Fitness elliptical trainer offers two heart rate feedback options. You may choose to use the heart
rate handlebars, or the chest transmitter (sold separately) for a hands free workout.
Heart Rate Handlebar
Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your
heart rate to register.
When gripping the handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure.
Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars. It is recommended that you
hold the handlebars only long enough the see your heart rate readout on the console. You may experience an
erratic readout if consistently holding the handlebars.

CHAPTER II CONSOLE INSTRUCTION
Telemetric Chest Transmitter (sold separately)
Prior to wearing the chest transmitter sold separately on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with
water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternums, with the
Horizon Fitness logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an
accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an
erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.
If you have any problems with the heart rate function please refer to pages 16 & 17 in the troubleshooting
section of the elliptical guide.
Warning!
The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of your heart rate
reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid.

CHAPTER IV TROUBLESHOOTING
No RPM display
Symptom: No RPM shown on the console.
Reason:
1. Bad connection between the console cable and the console
2. Speed sensor wire defective
3. Loss magnet of pulley
4. Console defective
Solution:
1. Re-connect the console wire.
2. Check the gap between the speed sensor and magnet on pulley. It is normal within 5mm (Fig.
A).Adjust the gap if it is too bigger.
3. Re-install a new magnet (Fig. B).
4. Replace the console set.
(Fig. A)
(Fig. B)

CHAPTER IV TROUBLESHOOTING
No resistance or Incorrect resistance
Symptom：
：：
：1. The resistance is un-adjustable during exercise.
2. The resistance is reverse or much too heavier.
Reason：
：：
：
1. Speed sensor wire is defective.
2. Console cable or ECB motor is defective.
3. Steel rope of magnet system not correct.
4. Inside magnet defective.
Solution：
：：
：
1. Check if the console shows RPM value. If no, refer to solution for “NO RPM DISPLAY”.
2. Turn on the console, and check the ECB motor.
In resistance level 1, the head of steel rope directs to top right side (around 45 degree).
If the head of steel rope directs to bottom left side, the resistance will be reverse, adjust the
head of steel rope to the correct position.
3. Press key “+” to adjust the resistance.
A) If ECB motor can not move, the resistance will not be changed. The ECB motor or
console cable is defective. Check the console cable inserted in ECB motor. Use a
multi-meter to measure the output of console cable (line 1& 2). Normally it shall be DC 6V.
If no output, the console cable defective. Replace the console cable.

CHAPTER IV TROUBLESHOOTING
If output is DC 6V, the MCB motor defective. Replace ECB motor.
B) If the ECB motor can move, the resistance can be adjusted. If the resistance is still much
too heavier. Check the gap between orange block and the bottom. It shall be within 1-2
mm.
If the gap is bigger than 1-2 mm, the resistance will be heavier than normal. Adjust the cable
to the correct gap range.
4 If all above conditions are ok, and the resistance is still much heavier, inside magnet is
defective. Replace the inside magnet as the last step.
