Thank you for choosing a test cycle from Monark!
Ideal position is important for performance to reach its maximum. LC6 novo and LC7 novo have a
brand new frame that is adjustable in all directions. The frame also allows the Q-factor to be reduced,
which further increases the possibility of a perfect performance. The many adjusting options, along
with an upgraded braking system, make Monark's renowned bike even better.
LC6 novo and LC7 novo give the conditions, the rest is up to the rider.
In today's society we are used to customizing our machines and tools for our own needs. The same
applies for LC6 novo and LC7 novo. Through intelligent solutions parts can be customized according
to user requirements. LC6 novo and LC7 novo are also prepared for additional devices, channels
behind the covers make it easy to install different devices for different needs. LC6 novo and LC7 novo
is a great bike as it is, with additional devices, it can be even better.
Force is a strong word which has many associations. For us, force is interesting when it can be
measured and calibrated. For a brake-force to be correct, regardless of the system, it must be calibrated
and controlled. On LC6 novo and LC7 novo the brake system and calibration have been updated so
that it is safer and more accurate. It is also quicker to adjust and has more options in that it is speed-
independent, but can be switched into constant braking force as an alternative.
Monark has always been known for the bikes measurement accuracy, now it's even better.

slightly bent when the sole of the foot is centred over
the pedal axle with the pedal in the lowest position.
When adjusting the saddle height and vertical
position, loosen the respective locking handles. See
Fig: Overview at page 8.
The handlebar setting should be in a comfortable
position when cycling. During longer exercise sessions
it is recommended to occasionally change handlebar
position. The handlebar can be adjusted both
horizontally and vertically. This is done by loosening
the respective locking handles. See Fig: Overview at
page 8.
Be sure that the stem and seat post are inserted to
at least 100 mm in the frame. This is marked with
“MAX” on the stem.
Initial operation
LC6 novo and LC7 novo are mechanically calibrated
in the factory. The user can always verify this
by performing the mechanical calibration of the
pendulum. See section "Calibration pendulum".
Apply power to the bike by first connecting the cable
from the power adaptor to the bike at the power
connector (3) at the right side of the bike, see Fig:
Front cover right. Then plug the power adaptor into
the wall outlet. Turn on the power switch (1) and a
green LED lights up.
On LC7 novo the AC connection to the PC tablet also
has to be connected to the wall outlet
The cable from the power adaptor can be locked
with the clamp (3) which is placed below the power
connection.
Perform the electrical calibration as specified in section
"Calibration electronics”. Test by pedalling the bike.
If the bike is working properly, it is ready for use.

Overview

LC6 novo and LC7 novo 9
How the bike works
LC6 novo and LC7 novo are based on a stable
frame, large well balanced flywheel, brake belt and
a pendulum that measures the braking force. The
pedals operate around the flywheel via a chain, while
a stretch mechanism tightens the brake belt to regulate
the braking force to affect the flywheel. This braking
force can be read directly by the pendulum on the
scale on the right side of the bike.
All changes in the friction between the brake belt
and the flywheel are compensated automatically by
Monark's unique construction.
New on LC6 novo and LC7 novo is that you can
control the bike from the display but the bike can, as
earlier models, even be controlled externally from PC
or other device. The display functions are described in
section "Monark novo display unit". The computer
system consists of Monark novo control unit (built in
the bike) and Monark novo display unit, PC or other
external device. Monark novo control unit registers
pedal speed and braking force, and also registers the
test person's heart rate if a chest belt or similar is used.
Monark novo control unit activates an actuator that
adjusts the brake belt tension, which regulates the
workload. This workload is varied automatically in
relation to changes in pedal speed, so that a constant
power is maintained. The bike is standard rpm
independent but can be set to also be rpm dependent
(constant force).
On both LC6 novo and LC7 novo the RS232- and
USB-B-ports are located on Monark novo control
unit behind the left side front cover. On LC7 novo the
USB-A connection is used by the PC tablet. These can
be freely used to connect external devices such as PC,
ECG, spirometry, etc. for which the external device
can control the workload and get real-time data such
as power, rpm, pulse and more from the bike.
For information about how respective control units
work, see section "Connection to external control
unit".
Here are instructions for connection and options for
connection to external devices. If advanced technical
documentation / data protocol for system builders or
similar are required, please contact Monark Exercise
AB.
Operating instruction Power on crank or ywheel
Monark bikes measure the effect of the flywheel, so it
will be a friction of 6-8% if you measure the impact of
the pedals (if the effect is measured on the crankshaft,
the difference is 4-5 %). The losses will be primarily
due to friction in the chain, pedals and bearings in the
wheels and crank.
LC6 novo and LC7 novo are designed for fitness tests
and are set to measure the power at the flywheel,
which is the traditional way in submaximal exercise.
The bike can be set to work with effect in the pedals /
crankshaft (the cycle constant).
Pulse measurement
The person's heart rate ("pulse") can be measured by
a chest belt, or similar heart rate monitor, that register
the pulse signal from your heart and sends it to the
bike with ANT+ or Bluetooth SMART technology.
More information is available in section "Monark
novo display unit".
The heart rate can be displayed in Monark novo
display unit, in Monark test software or in other
external device.
If you use chest belt
Heart rate monitoring requires that the chest belt is
correctly placed. When it is correctly fitted the logo
on the belt will be central and readable, outward and
upright, by another person. Before putting on the
belt, clean the skin where the belt is to be placed. The
chest belt should be secured at a comfortable tension
around the mid section, just below the breast muscle,
see Fig: Placement chest belt. Moisten the electrodes
before use, see Fig: Moistening the electrodes.

Checking the pulse function
On LC6 novo and LC7 novo the heart rate is displayed
in Monark novo display unit. On LC7 novo the heart
rate can also be shown in Monark test software in
the PC tablet. The heart rate can also be displayed in
other external device.
While the patient rests, with the chest belt on, compare
the displayed heart rate (Monark novo display unit,
PC or other) with the manually taken pulse. If it does
not correspond, check the chest belt contact area
and if necessary moisten the electrode surfaces with
water.
The following controls ensures that the bike works
for daily use.
Check the adjustment / zero of the scale•
Check the pulse function•
Check the braking force•
Test by pedalling and check that a reasonable rpm•
is obtained - verify by a clock. Feel if the pedals
move smoothly. Listen for unusual sounds. Adjust
if necessary.
Adjust the handlebar and saddle and make sure•
they are securely attached and that the adjustment
is working properly.
Make sure the support legs are in position by•
rocking the bike. Tighten if necessary.
If something unusual is found during the daily
inspection that you cannot resolve, please call
customer service.
Daily check
Validation of force
Start Monark test software (it is available for free
download from our web site: www.monarkexercise.
se) and select a test programme from the menu "Test".
In the dialogue box that opens is a box showing the
braking force in Newton, see Fig: Force and HR
display. You do not have to press "Start" (1) to
display the heart rate (2), but you must press "Start"
to display the force (3).
With the pendulum pointer at 0, the display should1.
read "00N"
Move the pendulum pointer to 4 kp and the display2.
should show "39N"
If the braking force is not displayed correctly, a
calibration of the pendulum must be done. See section
"Calibration".
NOTE!
After this verification, the brake belt will be loose.
This means that it will take some seconds before the
regulating device has tensed the brake belt to normal
again after you have started pedalling. If it then heavy
to pedal, add force on the pedals and the bike will
decrease the workload until it is possible to pedal
around.

2) Heart rate display
3) Force in software (manual test)
Scale adjustment
First check that the brake belt is loose, see Fig: Control
loose brake belt. If not, move the pendulum to 4 kp
and hold it there a while to loosen it. Then check
that the pointer on the pendulum is aligned with the
0-index (3) on the scale (2). If not, you need to adjust
the scale. Loosen the pole screw (1) (do not unscrew it
completely), and adjust the scale so that the 0-indices
and indicators are consistent. Tighten the pole screw
again as the scale is locked into position. See Fig: Scale
adjustment.

Connection to external control unit
No tests can be performed at Monark novo display
unit, then you must connect your bike to a PC, via
the Monark novo control unit, and use a special test
software. A suitable one is available to download
from our website: www.monarkexercise.se.
Thebikedonotneedtobeswitchedoffwhenconnecting
external components, but it is recommended, to
prevent transmission of incorrect data.
Be careful when connecting different types of external
devices to prevent flash-over and subsequent injury.
The user must ensure that the correct cables are used,
otherwise you risk serious injury or damage on the
device.
Display with integrated computer on the bike (LC7
novo)
Make sure that both power adaptors are connected
to the bike. Make sure the USB cable is plugged into
the bike computer and the computer has power. Set
the bike power switch to "on" and then start the
computer.
Start Monark All-In-One Analysis Software in the
computer. If you get a message that the connection
cannot be obtained, the wrong COM port may be
registered in the software. To fix this, see the manual
for the software.
New on LC7 novo is that the PC tablet on the bike can
be plugged in at the same time as any other external
device is connected via the RS232 port. However,
only one device is used to control the bike, the other
just for registering data.
Connect external device via RS232
Make sure the power adaptor is connected to the bike.
Turn off the power switch on the bike.
The RS232 port is located on Monark novo control
unit behind the left side front cover. Connect the
RS232 first to Monark novo control unit in the bike
and then to the external device. Set the bike power
switch to "on" and then start the external device.
Connect external device via USB
On LC7 novo a USB-serial adaptor is used to connect
a USB cable to the RS232 port because the PC tablet
uses the USB-B port.
On LC6 novo the USB-B port is located on Monark
novo control unit behind the left side front cover. Open
the front cover to access Monark novo control unit.
You can pass the cable you want to connect through
the cable inlet in the left side cover. Remember to lock
the cable in the strain relief.

Communication protocol (command type)
Thebike'stwo freeportscanbesetinvariouscommand
types to suit different standards and external devices.
The four available command types are:
0: Standard command set or ”PC-mode”
Command type "0" is default for both of the free
ports. As default the baud is 4800, but can be changed
by external control. The protocol is used by Monark
Exercise software and some external controllers
that are prepared to fully benefit from the advanced
capabilities of the bike.
2: Ergoline compatible (recommended for ”er900”)
The command type is used when the bike is controlled
by an external device that uses Ergoline's "er900"
protocol, baud rate is locked to 4800. If the external
device "asks" the bike about current power, the
bike responds with the set power. This setting is
recommended before the command type 3 which
removes the risk of the device trying to "chase" a
value.
3: Ergoline compatible (alternative)
The command type is used when the bike is controlled
by an external device that uses Ergoline's "er900"
protocol, baud rate is locked to 4800. If the external
device "asks" the bike about current power, the bike
responds with the set power.
4: 839 compatible
This command type is very similar to command type
"0", the only difference is that if an external device
requests the ID, the bike responds as if it was an 839-
bike of newer model. The setting is used for older
external control units that are not yet adapted to
Monark novo series ("backwards compatible").
All commands for external devices are active regardless
of the command type that is selected in addition to
the small differences presented above. The parts in
Ergoline protocol that handle blood pressure and its
parameters are not implemented.
The two free ports can have different settings.
When connecting to multiple devices, it is important
to ensure that one device does not sets a new target
without the other devices note it (master - slave).
NOTE!
The bike can not be controlled by the handheld
controller (Art. No.: 9339-51) used on previous
models.
Command type settings
Default for the two free ports is command type 0,
which will work in most cases. If you need to change
you can do it in settings in terminal mode in the
Monark Exercise software.
Ensure that you are connected to the bike. Type ping
in the command line in the window. Then the bike
beep once and answer pong in the text window above
the command line, see Fig: Terminal window.
You can set the command type for both ports
regardless of which port the bike is connected to. Use
the following commands:
cmdtypers232 #• and press ENTER to set the
RS232 port to the command type #, where # is
0, 2, 3 or 4
cmdtypeusb #• and press ENTER to set the USB
port to the command type #, where # is 0, 2, 3
or 4
If you only send the command cmdtypers232
alternatively cmdtypeusb without digit, the bike
responds with the current command type (0, 2, 3 or
4) for the connection.

LC6 novo and LC7 novo 13
Set commando type for the RS232 port
When power is turned on to the bike it gives an
indication of what command type the RS232 port is
set to. First, a long beep followed by the same number
of short beeps is the command type settings for the
RS232 port. In default ("0") you do not hear a short
beep, but at normal Ergoline setting ("2"), you hear
two short beeps after the long beep.
0 — A long beep
2 — A long beep followed by two short beeps
3 — A long beep followed by three short beeps
4 — A long beep followed by four short beeps
Monark test software
Monark test software is available for free download
from our website: www.monarkexercise.se. If you
use a PC with touch screen, we recommend that you

you lock the display to show only the current rpm
instead of the current workload, see Fig: Locked mode.
You can also choose to display only the current rpm
with only a digit, see Fig: Locked mode, simple.To
cancel the "Locked mode", press the "Locked mode"
and then you will return to "Set unit". There you
can choose optional workload unit. When you have
chosen unit the display returns to normal mode.
If you are in the "Locked mode", press "Menu", you
can choose "Settings pulse" or "Settings general", see
further details under each title. .
You can always, even during training, change control
mode.
NOTE!
The text turns red when the set power not can
be reached with the current rpm with maximum
workload. Please reduce the workload level or
pedalling faster (increase rpm) until the text
turns white again.

Set a target
Here you can choose your settings if you want to train
against a specified target - distance, time or consumed
calories.
If you want to train for a specific distance, a specific
time or a specific amount of calories consumed, set
the value and then the bike counts down / up.
When you train against a specific target, a "target
bar" is showed in the display. It shows how far you
have left until your set target has been achieved.
The figure below is displayed when you choose
"custom" no matter what target you want to set up.
When you press the arrow up increases the value
from 1, when you press the arrow down decreases the
value from 9. At the same time, the value that appears
above "home" is changed to show the value you set.

Set distance target
Here you can choose how long distance you want to
train. There are some preset distances, but you can
also select "custom" and then you choose a distance.
The distance can be displayed in both km and miles,
depending on what you selected in the "Settings
general" (Metric units: Yes / No).
The distance is not exactly, it is just a calculation:
50 rpm = 20 km / h, others rpm linear.
1 rpm 2/5 km / h
1 km / h 5/2 rpm

As a standard calculation, when we display calories
on our calibrated bikes, we use: 1 minute with 100W
gives 7 kcal.
We have chosen the calculation above, which we
believe is consistent with what the body consumes
during a normal cycle position (not the "consumption"
on the flywheel).

Heart rate settings
Here you can choose what heart rate standard you
want the bike to search for, Bluetooth SMART, ANT+
or both.

ANT+
(ANT+ is always active)
ANT+ uses "proximity pairing" which means that
you should be close to the display for it to start
listening to it. When the display and the heart rate
monitor is paired, you can be relatively far from the
bike with retained function. This process ensures that
the display is listening on the correct belt.
If you have connected to an ANT+ heart rate monitor
it says "connected" at "ANT+ status:" and the current
heart rate is displayed at "Pulse".
The person's heart rate ("pulse") can be measured
by, for example, a chest belt that detects your pulse
from your heart and sends the pulse to the bike with
Bluetooth SMART or ANT+ technology.

Bluetooth SMART
When the bike and a Bluetooth SMART heart rate
monitor have been paired the heart rate monitor
Bluetooth ID and the current heart rate is displayed
at "Pulse". You can choose to actively lock the heart
rate monitor by pressing "Lock". Then the bike is
only searching for that particular heart rate monitor.
Press "Reset" if you want to release the lock to only
a specific heart rate monitor and lock with a new or
continue to search freely.
You can use several Bluetooth SMART heart rate
monitors to the bike, but you can only lock to one at
a time.
The bike locks to the heart rate monitor that it finds
first (within 10 m). If more heart rate monitors are
used, we therefore recommended to lock into a
specific Bluetooth ID to ensure that the correct heart
rate appears.
NOTE! (for Bluetooth SMART)
It must be ensured that no other belts in
addition to the belt that should be paired to
the bike is active OR that any other device (cell
phone, bike computer, etc.) that could connect
to the belts are active during the process!
If you use chest belt
Heart rate registration requires that the heart rate
monitor is positioned correctly. When it is correctly
fitted the logo on the belt will be central and readable,
outward and upright, by another person. Before
putting on the belt, clean the skin where the belt is
to be placed. The chest belt should be secured at a
comfortable tension around the mid section, just
below the breast muscle, see Fig: Placement chest belt.
Moisten the electrodes before use, see Fig: Moistening
the electrodes.
