Heart Rate-Controlled programs (HRC)
These programs are heart rate-controlled exercise programmes.
The user specifies a target heart rate. This is continuously compared with the actual heart rate of the user by the
cockpit. If the actual heart rate is lower than the target heart rate, the treadmill automatically increases the speed. If the
value is higher, the treadmill automatically reduces the speed. The main requirement for these programmes is a
permanent, accurate transmission of heart rate values. For this reason, these programmes can only be done using an
uncoded heart rate chest belt. This is available as an accessory. Using these programs with the hand pulse sensors is
not possible. Please also read the chapters " Heart Rate Monitoring using a Chest Belt " and " Warning about Pulse &
Heart Rate Monitors " in this manual.
Step 1: Program Selection
After switching on the treadmill „P0" will appear in the display.
By pressing the PROGRAM or P key select from program HRC1, HRC2 or HRC3.
HRC1 = Maximum speed 9 km/h
HRC2 = Maximum speed 11 km/h
HRC3 = Maximum speed 13km/h
Step 2: Age Input
The value of 25 will be flashing in the display. Enter the age of the user by pressing the control keys for speed. Entries
from 15 to 80 years are possible.
Confirm your entry using the MODE key.
Step 3: Selection of Target Pulse
The target heart rate calculated by the cockpit is shown in the display. This is 60% of the maximum heart rate. If you want to
train with the calculated value confirm this with the MODE key.
If you want to train with an individual target heart rate, enter it by pressing the control key for SPEED. It is possible to enter a
value between 80 to 180. Confirm this by pressing the MODE key.
Please also read the chapters on pulse and heart rate measurement in this manual.
Step 4: Time Input
The value of 30:00 minutes will be flashing in the TIME display. Enter the training time you require between 05:00 and
99:00 by pressing the control key for speed.
Step 5: Profile Start
Now press the START key.
A countdown will be shown in the display. The training time will start to run as soon as the countdown ends, and the
treadmill will start automatically at a speed of 1.0 km/h. This start-up speed will continue for 60 seconds and then the
HRC program will start. The incline can be changed during training as required.
Training End
The treadmill stops automatically at the end of the selected time.
Program Sequence
After the treadmill starts automatically the cockpit measures the current heart rate of the user.
If the current heart rate is +/- 5 beats/minute above or below the target heart rate, the treadmill will continue at the
current speed.
Example:
Target heart rate is 130 - no change to the speed and incline if the current heart rate is between 125~135
beats/minute.
If the current heart rate is more than 30 beats/minute higher than the target heart rate, the treadmill will reduce
speed by 2.0 km/h.
If the current heart rate is 6 to 29 beats/minute higher than the target heart rate, the treadmill will reduce speed by
1.0 km/h.
If the current heart rate is more than 30 beats/minute lower than the target heart rate then the treadmill will increase
speed by 2.0 km/h.
If the current heart rate is 6 to 29 beats/minute lower than the target heart rate then the treadmill reduces speed by
1.0 km/h.
In the following cases the treadmill will stop the current HRC Program early:
1.
If heart rate measurement is not possible for more than 60 seconds.
2.
If the actual heart rate is still higher than 5 beats/minute as the target heart rate and the speed is already set
at the slowest speed possible.
3.
If the actual heart rate is higher than the maximum heart rate (220-Age).
