FACTS
Monark Medical Treadmill is a Medical device according to
Medical Device Directive, MDD 93/42/EEC class IIa.
MONARK MEDICAL TREADMILL
The Monark Exercise Medical Treadmill is an exercise device for walking
or running and is primarily developed to be used in a medical environment.
The possibility to change and control the speed and inclination of the moving
belt which allows the device to be used for training, diagnostics and therapy
applications. As the moving belt can be controlled at very low speeds, the
Monark Exercise Medical Treadmill is extra suitable for patients who undergo
different rehabilitation programs where low speeds are important.
The physical condition of patients can be analysed by through different
treadmill stress test protocols, also in combination with a metabolic cart. The
Monark Exercise Medical Treadmill is designed for both manual operation
and to be controlled via external devices and can then be used as a loading
device for ergospirometry, ECG measurements and different stress tests for
cardiovascular diseases.
The Monark Exercise Medical Treadmill should be operated by well-trained
specialist staff only. The correct loading for a patient on the treadmill must be
prescribed and monitored by a medical doctor and/or well-trained medical
specialists.
PULSE REGISTRATION
The treadmill has a module that registers the heart rate data from chest belts,
or similar, with ANT+ or Bluetooth SMART profile.
We recommend to use a Bluetooth SMART device, e.g. Polar H7, as this
allows the treadmill to pair with the heart rate sensor, which ensures a more
stable connection.
THE DISPLAY SHOWS
• Current speed in km/h
• Treadmill incline in degrees
• Distance in km
• Time in minutes and seconds
• Pulse (if chest belt is used)
NOTE!
Use of the product may involve
considerable physical stress. It
is therefore recommended that
people who are not accusto-
med to cardiovascular exercise
or who do not feel completely
healthy, should consult a physi-
cian for advice

OPERATING INSTRUCTION
START THE TREADMILL
Connect the power cable and press the on / off button (5)
next to the power connector (4), see fig: Front connections.
Now the treadmill is ready for use.
Press the green on / off button (7) on the control panel and
the band starts at a speed of 0.1 km / h.
To increase the speed, press up on speed button (11) (towards
+). For each pressing, the speed increases at 0.1 km/h. Holding
down the button will increase the speed by 1.0 km / h.
To decrease the speed, press down on speed button (11)
(towards -) instead and then the speed decreases with the same
values, 0.1 resp. 1.0 km / h).
RESETTING DISTANCE AND TIME
The displayed values for distance and time will not be reset
when starting the belt after it has been stopped. To reset the
distance and time values, hold down the on/off button (7)
for three seconds. The distance and time will start from zero
when starting the belt next time.
INCLINE FUNCTION
If you want more resistance, you can raise the front of the
treadmill. To do this, press the incline button (8) up (towards
+) on the control panel. For each push the inclination is incre-
ased by 0.5˚. If you want to decrease the incline, press down
(towards -) on the button.
If the treadmill is inclined when switched off (button 7)
or unplugged, it needs to manually be lowered to its lowest
position, in order reset the inclination value. The incline value
on the display will show 0, until this procedure has been
performed.
For everyday use, we recommend leaving the treadmill
switched on during the day and manually lowering it to 0˚
before switching it off.
STOP THE TREADMILL
To stop the treadmill, press the green on / off button (7). The
belt will brake smoothly before coming to a complete stop.
EMERGENCY STOP
The treadmill is equipped with an emergency stop (9), see Fig:
Control panel, to use in case of injury or accident, or if you,
for any reason, must stop the band quickly. If you press the
emergency stop, the band stops abruptly.
If you used the emergency stop, turn the button to the right,
according to the arrows, and press the on / off button (7) once
to reset the function.
SAFETY CORD
We recommend using the safety cord (10), see fig: Control
panel. Should you stumble and fall, it works in the same way
as the emergency stop, the treadmill stops abruptly.
After using the safety cord, you must put the magnet (10) back
in its place and then press the on / off button (7) once to reset
the emergency stop. Press the on / off button (7) once more to
restart the treadmill.

MONARK NOVO CONTOL UNIT
Connect external device via RS232 and USB
We recommend that you set the treadmill power switch to “off” when
connecting external devices to avoid the transmission of incorrect data.
Be careful when connecting different types of external devices to prevent
flash-over and subsequent injury. The user must be certain that the instru-
ment connector and the cable are designed for the intended purpose. Serious
injury to the user and / or device may result if inappropriate connections are
attempted.
Both RS232 port and USB-B port are located on Monark novo Control
Unit in the front of the treadmill, see fig: Front connections.
First connect to the Monark novo Control Unit and then to the external
device. Set the treadmill power switch to “on” and then start the external
device.
MONARK NOVO DISPLAY UNIT
MENU
In the display is a menu where you can change different settings. You
can find it by pressing the Menu icon. Then a menu is showed to the
right in the display where you can select the following:
Pulse settings
(Pulse settings)
General settings
(Settings)
Not activated
You can at any time during the training open the menu to e.g. search
for a chest belt.
PULSE SETTINGS
Here you can choose what heart rate standard you want the treadmill
to search for, Bluetooth SMART, ANT+ or both.
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 treadmill with Bluetooth SMART or ANT+ technology.
Bluetooth SMART
When the treadmill 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 treadmill 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
treadmill, but you can only lock to one at a time.
The treadmill 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.
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”.
NOTE!
It does not work to connect the
PC to the treadmill. Only ECG or
spirometry can be connected to
control the treadmill.
A medical electrical system
(ME-System) is created when
the treadmill is combined with
an external device. The respon-
sibility rests with the manufactu-
rer of this ME-System and not
with Monark Exercise.

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.
Disturbances of pulse measurement
If you experience disturbances in heart rate measurement use an external
device (e.g. pulse clock) to check if it also shows irregular pulse. If so, it may
be due to interference in the room. The disturbance may come from electric
fields from power cords, elevators, lamps, etc. or other electronic devices
which are too close (e.g. mobile phones). If possible, move the treadmill to
another room or change room. Even synthetic fabrics can create static electri-
city that interferes with heart rate signal.
If the pulse remains irregular at work the person’s health should be examined.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
In order to keep your treadmill in good condition, it should be maintained and
serviced regularly.
• Use the vacuum cleaner under the treadmill at least once a week, and in the
engine compartment once a month.
• Wipe off sweat with mild soap solution and soft damp cloth. Do not
spray detergents directly on the display or console as too much liquid may
penetrate and destroy the function.
• If necessary, the treadmill can be surface disinfected. Then use an isopro-
panol-based preparation. Use a damp, not wet, cloth or sponge to wipe off
the surfaces you want to disinfect.
• Metal surfaces can be surface-treated with a rust-proof, especially after they
are cleaned and the surfaces dry.
• Check that the running belt is centered and does not slip on the rollers.
If the belt slips or moves to one side, it needs to be adjusted. This is done
by adjusting the two M10 screws at the rear roller, see fig: Adjusting the
running belt.
Checking the tension of the motor belt
Check the tension of the motor belt twice a year and/or if the motor belt slip
or sounds unusual. Switch off the treadmill with the on/off button at the front
of the treadmill and unplug the power cable from the socket. Remove the cover.
Inspect the motor belt visually for abrasion and correct fitting. Try to rotate the
motor belt 90˚ sideways, only by using your thumb and forefinger and with mo-
derate force. If you can rotate the motor belt more or less than 90˚, the tension is
too low or too high and needs to be adjusted. Use the screws for the motor belt
tensioner to adjust the tension.
OTHER SERVICE / REPAIRS
If you require service or major repairs, we recommend that you contact your
dealer or our service department.

SETTING THE INDUSTRY STANDARD
Despite operating in the ever-changing healthcare field, extensive
medical research and top-class Swedish engineering has enabled
Monark Exercise’s ergometers to remain the industry standard
and the world’s most widely used–for decades. And they’re still
recognized as the most accurate in the market.
The unique calibration method, which provides incomparable
control and accuracy, makes it easy for clinicians to safely apply the
prescribed workload in rehabilitation programs and stress tests,
and to make accurate readings. The ergometers can be used with
external systems, such as ECG and Spirometri, and are durable
and uncompromisingly easy to use—with comfortable low insteps
for patients, and intuitive interfaces for test administrators.
