ZR8000 STANDARD CONSOLE GUIDE
Get ready to run for the rest of your life with the Zero Runner by Octane Fitness. The Zero Runner simulates real
running motion, engages all the muscles and delivers the multiple benefits of running, without impact to your
joints or body.
Just step on the ZR8000, take a look at the simple instructions on the console and start running exactly like you
do outside. The innovative console features all the same great information that you have on your training watch
— time, distance, speed, calories burned and heart rate. The console also has ANT+ connectivity for your heart
rate monitor and SMARTLINK on select Garmin Connect IQ™watches. The ZR8000 can also be connected as a
‘foot pod’ to watches with ANT+ connectivity.

Dynamic Display (LCD)
The top portion of the standard console is an LCD which dynamically displays all of the important workout data
and guides your workout with intervals and motion changes. Watch the display—it will coach and motivate you
throughout your workout and reward you with summary information at the end of your session.
Icon Description
Displays workout time, counting up from 00:00. The timer goes up to 59 minutes, 59
seconds (59:59), then the display rolls over to 1 hour, 0 minutes (01:00) and begins
counting in minutes instead of seconds from that point forward. Refer to User (Club)
Settings to learn how to switch from a “count up” to “count down” display and to set
a different maximum workout time.
Displays an estimate of the total calories burned during the workout, based on the
user’s entered weight. If no specific weight is entered, calories are based on a 150 lb.
(68 kg) user.
Displays an estimate of the distance you have traveled. Distance can be shown in
either miles (English) or kilometers (metric). The default display is English. Refer to
User (Club) Settings to learn how to switch from English to metric.
Displays your current pace in minutes/mile or minutes/km.
When lit, this icon indicates that ANT+™wireless communications is active and
detecting signal from a compatible wireless heart rate chest strap.
Displays your current front-to-back stride length, in inches (English) or centimeters
(metric).
Displays your current vertical stride height, in inches (English) or centimeters (metric).
Displays your current heart rate percentage, calculated as current heart rate divided
by theoretical maximum heart rate (TMHR). Note: The standard TMHR is calculated
for a 40-year old user weighing 150 lbs. (68 kg). You must have entered your age
during program setup and be wearing a wireless heart rate transmitter or consistently
grasping the contact heart rate sensor grips on the handlebars in order to get an
accurate reading of Heart Rate % for your age and weight.
Displays heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). Note: You must be wearing a wireless
heart rate transmitter or consistently grasping the contact heart rate sensor grips on
the stationary handlebars.

Icon Description
Displays the resistance level (1-10), where 1 is the lowest resistance level and 10 is
the highest.
Adjust the resistance by moving the adjustment lever located just below the
console. Positioning the lever all the way down (by the “–” on the lever label) sets the
resistance at Level 1; all the way up is Level 10. Move the lever within its range to find
the resistance that is most comfortable for you.

Keypad Buttons
Quick Start The easiest way for you to start your run is to simply push the Quick Start button. The
clock starts timing you for a 30-minute run (the Maximum Workout Time allowed by the
club if that maximum is less than 30 minutes.) The calories readout will be based on a
150 lb. (68 kg) user, age 40. Once you have selected Quick Start, you can set the time
for a shorter run and use the resistance level to adjust the resistance to your liking. (Age
and Weight can only be changed by selecting a program using the Program Workout
button and entering the values during set-up.)

User (Club) Settings if a different maximum workout time, or no limit, better suits your
environment.
Pause Clear Press once to pause your workout. The standard pause time is 3:00. To restart a paused
workout, push any key or just begin pedaling. If you stop pedaling during a workout,
the unit will automatically begin a pause phase; simply start pedaling to resume your
workout. Press the Pause Clear button twice within two seconds, and the machine is
reset and ready for another workout.
