Dashboard Displays
The graphic screen displays the programs. The load (in watt) is shown on the
scale on the left side of the screen. The training time is shown on the lower axis.
In heart rate controlled programs the system displays 100 beats per minute at
the 200 watt position since the heart rate is displayed at a scale corresponding
to one half of the watt scale.
In the height profile programs the time axis indicates the distance in km while
the watt axis indicates the height profile.
Note: the illustrations may be changed without notice!
watt
The heart rate window displays the heart rate of the user (1 to 4). When only
the upward pointing arrow is displayed in the middle, then this means that the
heart rate is too low to ensure an effective training. Inversely, when only the
downward pointing arrow is displayed then the heart rate is too high. If the
arrow starts blinking then the load is too high and the user should moderate the
training. The arrows pointing to the left indicate the user currently selected.

Whenever the actual heart rate exceeds that of the alarm zone the system will give a beep signal and the load will be
automatically reduced.
For beginner: the widely accepted recommendation is to train at 55% to 65% of the
maximum heart rate. This zone is very well suited for weight loss or for returning
users after an extended interruption due to illness.
Training in the aerobic zone will always be safe and good for your health.
This zone is located at 60% to 75% of the maximum heart rate.
You will always achieve your training target optimally if you train in the appropriate
zone, whether your target is the improvement of your fitness level, the reduction of
your body fat content or the development of muscular mass.
A very high heart

rate can be very
dangerous!
Heart rate measure using the ear clip

Plug the connector in the right side of the dashboard,
attach the clip on the other end of the cable to your ear.
The heart rate window will then display your heart rate
after a short delay.
Heart rate measure using the chest band (optional accessory)
Apply some water on the inner side of the band to the left and right side of the serration and then fasten it to your
chest firmly to prevent it from sliding off and insuring the electrodes are in direct contact with the skin.
If you have in the room many devices that may interfere with the signals of a wireless heart rate measuring device,
then these devices must be located at a distance of at least 1.5m from the heart rate measuring device.
If more than one wireless heart rate measuring systems are used in the same room then only one of these systems
may be located close to the training device.
Warning! If you have a heart pacemaker you should consult your physician to find out if you can safely use
the chest band transmitter!

Standard programs: you can choose from 38 programs already stored in the machine.
(you can increase or decrease the difficulty level of these programs by turning the control button).
The actual training position is indicated on the screen.
Cool-down: these programs are design for cool down following the actual training.
Capacity test: use it to test how long you can go under an increasing load.
Manual: you can here increase or decrease the load by turning the control button.
Fixed programs: with the built-in programs the heart rate is directly controlled. The required
heart rate varies in the course of the program and thus the corresponding load. If the heart rate
increases the load drops automatically; if the heart rate drops the load increases.
Manual pulse program: you decide what heart rate you want in pulses per minute and
the device will adjust the load so that this value is maintained.

Height profile programs: These programs are designed to reproduce real routes. You will pedal
uphill and downhill in the same way you would do on a road outside. For instance, you will find
a simulation of all the 21 legs of the tour de France of 1997. A gear shift system is active with the
height profile programs (1 to 28), which you can control by turning the control button. When you
shift a gear it is shown on the dissipated energy/time display window. The graphic window shows
here 0 to 60 km instead of the usual 0 to 60 min.
Strength programs: these programs are based on 15 braking levels (1 to 15). The load in watt
corresponding to any braking level is determined from the actual speed multiplied by a factor specific
to the program and rounded to 5 watt units.
Constant RPM programs: this program was specially developed for racing bikers, as they want to
pedal at their own personal speed regardless of the road condition, ascending or descending.
Intensification program: ergo_bike ergometers operate independently of the velocity in the RPM
ranges specified in EN 957-1/9. The selected braking power (watt) remains constant whether the
user runs slow or fast
Watt: you can create your own speed independent program.

Heart rate programs: you can here develop your own program that will individually control your
heart rate during the course of the program.
Speed: create a program defining how fast you wish to run. The load will adjust to keep you running
at the required speed.

Do not exceed your personal load limits! The loading requirements

correspond to competition conditions and should be considered as
absolute maximum training values. The load in watt can be manually
reduced, by mean of the gear shift, to a value suited to the user's
individual capacity whenever the load or effort gets too intense. Liquids
intake in sufficient quantities while training is absolutely necessary.
The training must immediately be interrupted in case of overload,
discomfort, or pain! When in doubt, you should consult a physician.

Gear Shift
The gear shift system of the ergo_bike 8008 TRS pro
The ergo_bike 8008 TRS pro is equipped with an electronic gear shift (derailleur) that provides committed
athletes with a more realistic biking experience on the pre-programmed circuits. The 28 available speeds
enable a linear shifting over the whole performance domain of the bike in road, off-road, and triathlon biking.
The distance travelled per pedal revolution in the highest gear is 9.27 meters.
This corresponds to a gear ratio of 53 to 12 with a 28 inches wheel.
The distance travelled per pedal revolution in the lowest gear is 3.57 meters.
This corresponds to a gear ratio of 42 to 24 with a 28 inches wheel.
The table below gives the exact transmission ratios of the ergo_bike 8008 TRS pro.

Fitness mark
The ergo_bike can carry out an evaluation of your fitness. The measurement principle is based on the fact that
the pulse rate falls faster within the first minute following a load period for healthy, well-trained users than for
healthy, less trained users.
If the user presses the Fitness key during a training session, the present training will be interrupted and
the load will be lowered to 25 Watt within 3 to 4 sec. The graphical screen will display the message
Fitness mark determination. The drop in pulse rate within 60sec will be measured (see window no. 2)
and the mark computed according to the following scheme and displayed
The fitness mark F1 is awarded for a pulse rate drop of more than 25.0% within 60 sec
The fitness mark F2 is awarded for a pulse rate drop of 20.0% to 24.9% within 60 sec
The fitness mark F6 is awarded when the pulse rate drop is less than 8% within 60 sec
The mark of F0 is awarded if no usable result can be measured
The training program resumes at the actual position after the evaluation process. The load in Watt is
raised within 3 to 4 seconds to its value just before the evaluation and the training can be continued.
A fitness evaluation is not possible after the training session is finished.

Conconi Test
Description
The Conconi Test / E

The Conconi test was originally developed to control the training intensity and to determine the
performance ability. This test uses the fact that the heart pulse rate increases linearly with the load. This is true
only up to a certain pulse rate and load. The pulse rate curve deviates from the linear if the load is further
increased above this point (see fig. 3 page 21). This deviation point indicates the so-called anaerobic threshold
according to researches by Conconi (for the Conconi test also known as the Conconi threshold).
The anaerobic threshold is the point where the organism produces more lactic acid than it can eliminate. This
means that, from this point, lactic acid starts to accumulate in the body and eventually leads to a load collapse.
The threshold is used to determine the training domains and to evaluate the performance ability (you will find
some practical hints about determining the training domains below)
The main advantage of the Conconi test, as compared to e. g. the lactate performance test, is the smallness of
the necessary financial, technical and personal investment. At this point we should also mention that the Conconi
test is controversial among many training professionals. It is widely used in Italy and Switzerland. Others have
a critical approach toward the Conconi test for the following reasons:
A maximum loading is necessary when undergoing the test. For this reason it is recommended to pass a medical
examination before taking the test. The Conconi test should only be taken by healthy individuals.
About 20% of all the tests do not show a deviation point. Sometimes the pulse rate increases linearly up to more
than 190 pulses per minute.
Nevertheless, the Conconi test permits an easy and accurate control of the training for many athletes, and an
evaluation of their performance ability.
Taking the Conconi test with the ergo_bike:
The Conconi test should in principle starts with an easy start-up program. One of the easier and shorter warm-up
programs should be used here. The pulse rate should not exceed 130 pulses per minute during warm-up. Since
the performance ability of users is widely spread, two special programs are provided for taking the Conconi test.
Program 45 begins with a load of 60 watts and is intended for users with lesser training experience, while
program 46 is intended for the more capable users. The load is increased by 20 watts every program step for
both programs.
You will find a test protocol on page 20. Write down the pulse rate values achieved and the corresponding load
levels (in watt). You can then fill in the values for protocol 1 for the Conconi test (program 45, from 60 to 400
watts) in the upper part of the protocol.
For the higher Conconi test corresponding to protocol 2 (program 46) fill in the heart rate values for load values
of 120 to 700 watts maximum.
The test should be terminated whenever the user feels he reached his maximum load capacity. An overload
should absolutely be avoided!

Conconi Test
Description
Evaluating the Conconi test
After the achieved heart rates have been properly recorded in the protocol, you can proceed with the
graphical evaluation of the Conconi Test. Therefore construct a co-ordinate system as shown in figure 1
below. The horizontal axis (X axis) represents the performance in watt, starting with the lowest test value.
For the Conconi test this value is, for instance, 60 watts. The vertical axis (Y axis) represents the heart
pulse rate for every test step. In the example below the heart rate for the first test step (60 watts) is around
105 beats per minute, for the second step (80 watts) it is 120 beats per minute, etc.
After all the heart pulse rate points have been represented in the co-ordinate system, proceed with joining
the individual points to form the line representing the linear increasing portion of the curve. In the figure this
is the straight line with the steep slope.
The higher points (higher load steps) will generally lie underneath this line. These points can also be joined
by a straight line as shown in the figure (this is the second line with the lesser slope).
The intersection of these two lines is shown in

fig 1 by an arrow.
This intersection point is called the deflection
point and corresponds to the anaerobic Conconi
threshold. In fig. 1 this threshold is at 181 beats
per minute. This heart rate is determined by
drawing a straight line parallel to the lower axis
(X axis) starting at the deflection point toward left.
The point where this line intersects with the vertical
Y axis (heart rate) is the point we want to determine
(in our example 181 beats/min.).

Conconi Test
Compensation training
The compensation domain lies underneath 70 percent. In our example this represents the region
below 127 beats per minute. Training in this domain is for active recovery.
GA 1 - Training
The GA 1 domain lies between 70 and 80 percent. In our example this corresponds to 127 to 145
beats per minute. Training in this domain sets the foundation of the performance abilities. The most
part of the training should occur in this domain (for endurance sports).
GA 1 Training is the central element of biking in the preparation phase.

Function
Development of basic endurance as foundation for all the more intense training units.
Training method
The actual training follows the continuous training method with constant load and
a pedalling speed of 80 to 110 RPM, duration of 2 to 5 hours.
GA 2 - Training
GA 2 - Training, more intensive biking, is used for achieving a higher loading
for experienced athletes with a good basic endurance ability.
Training method
Warm-up and biking for 10 to 30 minutes, since GA 2 Training puts high loading on
the musculature and circulation system.
High heart rate limit of 80 to a maximum of 90 percent (in our example 145 to 163 beats/min )
The actual training follows the interval method (e. g. 8 x 4 min with 2 min. at no load) or
alternatively the continuous method.
CSE (competition specific endurance) Training

Most intensive form of training for top athletics shortly before and during competition phase.
The heart rate increases up to 100 % of the Conconi threshold (in our case 181 beats per minute).
CSE training is run in the interval methods (e. g. 8 times 1 minute with 3 minutes at no load).
Function
Achieving maximum fitness. Getting used to very high lactic acid concentration in the musculature.
Improving elimination of lactic acid.
Training method
Warm-up and biking for 10 to 30 minutes, since CSE Training puts high loading on the musculature
and circulation system.
High heart rate limit up to 100% of the Conconi threshold.
The actual training follows the interval method (e. g. 8 times 1 minute with 3 min. at no load)

Coaching
Cardiovascular training
What ist Coaching?
Muscle build-up
Fitness training
Weight / fat reduction

The Coaching concept introduces an intelligent training program offering the user four different training
objectives (see illustration above) to choose from. The ergo_bike will compute and monitor an optimal training
plan based on the age, gender, available time, and an individual fitness test. This training plan will be
continually updated and adjusted through regular and automatic control of the training results to ensure an
optimal training course and success.
Warning!
1. The Coaching program was developed for healthy users. Therefore we urgently recommend that users
undergo a thorough medical examination to determine their physical ability for sport activities before
starting a training with the Coaching program. Should a user feel ill during a coaching training, he or she
should seek medical advice about physical activities and continuing the training.
2.
3.
4.
The user is required to enter the amount of time he or she can or want to train (the number of training units per week),
and to evaluate his or her own fitness level. The user should not overestimate his capacity regarding the number of
training units and their difficulty grade. In sport activity overworking does not help, while a thoughtful and controlled
training plan leads generally faster and more efficiently to its objective.
The same applies also to the self evaluation of the user physical performance capacities before the start of
a Coaching plan. A user who evaluates his capacities at a lower level will achieve his training objectives safely and
without overworking, even though in a longer period of time.
The user must take a capacity test at the start of the Coaching plan, and then once every 4 weeks. The computer
uses this test to determine the load prescriptions (e.g. the maximum load in watt and the maximum heart rate during
the training) for the start of the Coaching program and then for every successive period of 4 weeks. This test is a full
load test, and the user should only take it to the point where he can go without overworking or overloading himself.
When used properly, the coaching program will not turn users into high performance athletes. The goal of this
program is to preserve your health and to increase your performance capacities, and to make you globally fit.
Entering Personal Data

The following basic prerequisites must be satisfied, and the important settings must be done on the dashboard
before the coaching program can be started.
1.
2.
3.
A user should train with the coaching program only with the pulse sensor on (ear clip or even better with
the cardio sensor chest band) (see page 7).
The program must be assigned to a specific user identification number 1 to 4 (see page 4).
Since the program depends on many personal and exact data, if possible, all the required data and alarm
values must be entered before starting the program (see page 5) for the first time. Take into consideration
that, as a special case for the Coaching program, the data about the training duration (time), the distance (km),
and the kJoule burned need not be entered. These values are computed by the computer of the ergo_bike for
the Coaching program. Any data entered for the alarm values for the training duration, the distance, and the
kJoule burned will be ignored by the Coaching program or set to their default value (in this case 0).
23
Coaching
Personal performance evaluation
The users must evaluate their very personal performance capacities before starting a training with the Coaching program.
The following section should help the users evaluate their own performance capacities.
0=
Beginner:
You don't have any training experience or practice physical activity only occasionally and very
irregularly. This applies also for users who are returning from a long training interruption (e.g.
because of a wound or an illness).
1=
Average:
You do sport regularly. But you are mainly oriented toward recreational sport activities, less toward
endurance sport. The training frequency is about 1 to 2 hours per week.
2=
Advanced:
You do regularly endurance sport (e.g. jogging, biking, etc.). The training frequency
is about 2 to 4 hours per week.
3=
Very well trained:

You have an extensive training experience in endurance sport. Your physical performance and
load capacity is above average. The training frequency is at least 3 hours per week, preferably
in endurance sport.

Do not exceed your personal load limit!

Interrupt the training immediately if the
load or effort becomes too heavy.
press the Menu key after

completion of the test
You should avoid extreme efforts on the day before the test and on the day of the test.
Sleep sufficiently before the test. You should postpone the test if you feel ill (e.g. cold
with fever). If you are unsure, consult a physician. Please keep a pedalling speed of
65 to 80 RPM during the test.
In order to take the capacity test you must have the physical capacity to run the test program at least up
to 75 watts, in other words you must complete the first 4 minutes. Otherwise the test evaluation will
read not run and any further training with the Coaching program will not be allowed! If this is the case,
please retake the test and run it at least up to 75 watt. This load value is far below the capacity of the average user
and according to medical research within the reach of every healthy adult user. If you have trouble reaching this
load value then you should not continue with your Coaching training! In this case please consult a physician and
take a thorough medical check, and talk with your doctor before you continue training with the ergometer. The
Coaching training has been designed for use exclusively by healthy users!
.
The evaluation test is complete at the latest when the user reaches the load of 400 watts after 32 minutes. Though, it is
more realistic to expect that a user will not have the capacity to run the test to 400 watts (normal case!!) and will interrupt
the test by pressing the Menu key because he lacks the strength or to avoid an overload. If you feel tired or exhausted
(avoid overloading) please simply stop pedalling and confirm the end of the test by pressing the Menu-key! The Coaching
program will automatically terminate the capacity test when you reach the higher heart rate limit corresponding to your age,
gender, capacity, etc!
.
Attention, the test will possibly be terminated too early if the higher heart rate limit setting value is too low.
After the evaluation test is taken the system will display OK as a confirmation of the completed evaluation test. The
program will include the actual capacity values in the determination of the personal training plan, and compares them with
the test results of the capacity tests taken at 4 weeks interval.
.
Attention, a completed and accepted capacity test counts as the training activity for one
calendar week. Thus the actual coaching program can only be continued on Monday of
the following week. Obviously, each user is free to train with other programs during this
waiting period.

The Coaching program can only help the user achieve his intended goal from training if the prescribed
training units are run consciously. This should be the normal situation.
In the case that a user must deviate from the training plan prescribed by the Coaching program because of
illness, vacation or others reasons, the Coaching program offers possibilities to adjust the training.
A training unit (TU) is not completely run:

The system displays the message shown to the right the next time the
Coaching function is called and before the display of the training units

of the actual week 40. The highlighting (selection) of week 39 will be removed when the value reaches 100%.
If the training is interrupted for a longer period (1 to X weeks) because of illness or vacations, it becomes then
impossible to catch up with the missing training units in a short period. For this situation, the Coaching program offers
the possibility to downgrade a variable number of weeks. In the example below, the training was interrupted for 2 weeks
(week 40 and 41), and 67% of the last training week, which is only completed to 33%. In this situation the program
recommends downgrading to week 39. Then week 39 will also have to be completed to 100% before the training can
resume with the actual week 42.

Inquiry about downgrading

If, following an interruption, a downgrade is done to a week with partially completed training
units (for instance only 25%), then the user will have to first complete the missing training
units to 100%. This represents a non-negligible extra load for the user, particularly if
weakened by an illness. Because the missing training units (e.g. 75%) must be completed
in addition to the normal 100% training units of the actual week (week 42) during the actual
training week (e.g. 42) (this would total to 175%).
Therefore, we recommend giving up the last completed training units (e.g. the 25%), and to
downgrade the training one more week (e.g. to week 38 / see window no. 6 / illustration to
the right). Consequently, the training profile will be extended by 3 weeks.
The illustration to the right shows that the training can resume with the actual week (42),
without completing the training of week no. 39 that is interrupted at 25% when the training
plan is downgraded by an extra week to week no. 38, which is completed to 100%.

Coaching
Notes about downgrading in the case of training interruption:
We advise beginners or the lesser active sportsmen, in the case they need to downgrade following a prolonged
training interruption, to downgrade farther behind than the program suggests. The lost training is nevertheless very
small and will be rapidly recovered. A well-trained user can close the interruption by doing a shorter downgrade and
compensate the training. The training structure of the coaching is well thought and has a very cautious approach
particularly towards health risks.
It is very often the case that a very high training frequency is selected at the start of a Coaching plan, which cannot
be held in real life. If you get the message Deviation from training plan many times, do not hesitate to reduce the
training frequency. An essential aspect of the training on an ergometer is that is be done with a positive state of mind.
In any case, you should avoid stress during the training!
1. Training interruption because of vacation and without sport activities during that period:
1a) 1 Week training interruption:

Please continue with the last training week not completely done.
1b) 2 Weeks training interruption:
Please downgrade by at least 3 weeks in the training plan.
1c) 3 and more weeks training interruption:
Please downgrade by at least 4 weeks.
1d) In the case of a training interruption of more than 6 weeks:
we advise the user, particularly beginners, to restart a Coaching plan from the beginning.
2. Training interruption because of illness.
You should seek the advice of your physician before resuming the training. Many illnesses (e.g. infection
with fever) will make you lose more physical capacity and endurance than a normal training interruption.
Given the high number of illnesses we can only provide a very general overview.
2a) 1 week training interruption because of a common, light infection:
Downgrade by about 3 to 4 weeks. We recommend consulting your physician before restarting the training.
2b) 2 weeks training interruption because of flu infection with fever:
Downgrade to at least 4 weeks. We recommend consulting your physician before restarting the training.
2c) We urgently recommend you consult your physician about resuming the training in the case of any
serious illness (e.g. viral flu, orthopaedic problems, wounds).

Coaching
Loading scheme of the Coaching program
Cardiovascular training: (sample with 3 training units per week)
This type of training applies carefully its loading and leads to a healthy increase of the capacity of your
cardiovascular system.
1st Unit: 20 min with low heart pulse rate for cardio training.
2nd Unit: fixed program no. 6 for 19 minutes.
3rd Unit: pulse controlled fixed program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
After about 24 weeks of training:
1st Unit: 45 min with low heart pulse rate for cardio training.
2nd Unit: pulse controlled fixed program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
3rd Unit: fixed program no. 4 for 35 minutes.
Weight reduction: (sample training with 4 training units per week)

This training type applies a cautious loading at low heart rates. The training units have an extended training duration
(up to 70 minutes). These units require endurance and motivation from you, but they help you achieve a stable weight
reduction. Naturally, under the condition that you keep your daily calorie intake constant. Using this program, you can
achieve a weight reduction of about 1.5 to 2 kg in the first 4 weeks, and then about 200 to 500 gr. per week in the
following weeks.
1st unit: 30 min training with low heart pulse rate to burn fat.
2nd unit: fixed program no. 12 for 25 minute.
3rd unit: pulse controlled program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
4th unit: pulse controlled program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
After about 21 weeks of training
1st unit: 50 min training with low heart pulse rate to burn fat.
2nd unit: pulse controlled program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
3rd unit: fixed program no. 17 for 53 minutes.
4th unit: pulse controlled program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
Fitness training: (sample training with 5 training units per week)

This training type helps you achieve endurance and fitness. It focuses on low intensity, somehow longer
training units.
1st unit: fixed program no. 3 for 33 minutes.
2nd unit: 30 min pulse controlled fixed program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
3rd unit: fixed program no. 12 for 25 minutes.
4th unit: 35min training at the individual endurance pulse rate.
5th Test for re-evaluation and determination of your personal heart pulse rate at training.
(This test will be carried out every 4 weeks, as was already mentioned on page 25.)
1st unit: 50 min training at the individual endurance pulse rate.
2nd unit: pulse controlled fixed program with individual pulse prescriptions.
3rd unit: fixed program no. 4 for 35 minute.
4th unit: pulse controlled fixed program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
5th unit: fixed program no. 17 for 53 minute.
(This test will be carried out every 4 weeks, as was already mentioned on page 25.)

Coaching
Muscle build-up (sample training for 6 training units per week)
This training type leads to improving fitness and endurance. In addition to endurance training units, you will be
required in this program to run training units with low pedalling speed (60 RPM). This will reliably increase your
strength and endurance power, and support muscle build-up in a proportional way.

2nd unit: Strength program for 20min for muscle build up.
3rd unit: 20min pulse controlled fixed program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
4th unit: Strength program for 25min for muscle build up.
5th unit: fixed program no. 7 for 43 minutes.
6th Test for re-evaluation and determination of your personal heart pulse rate at training.
2nd unit: Strength program for 40min for muscle build up.
3rd unit: 35min pulse controlled fixed program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
4th unit: Strength program for 35min for muscle build up
5th unit: pulse controlled fixed program with individual pulse rate prescriptions.
6th unit: fixed program no. 8 for 45 minutes.
You should keep a pedalling speed of 60 to 80 RPM with the strength program, which corresponds to
the requirements of the coaching program.

The relaxation function is a Biofeedback-process that is carried out by measuring the electrical resistance of the skin.
The measured values are indicated by means of optical and audio signals.
Biofeedback is thus the translation into perceptible signals of physiological processes occurring in our body, which our
senses can barely, or not at all, perceive. The relaxation function is the ergo_bike' way of helping you relax and
eliminate stress. You should use this option particularly after a physical endurance training.
Connecting the relaxation sensor
1. Take the Velcro bands of the fingers' sensor out of the package and open them.
2. Place the open tape on one of your fingertip. Make sure there is good contact between the silver buttons and your skin.
The wires from the tape should lead away from the back of your hand.
Velcro tape
3. Put down the side of the Velcro tape with the sensor button on your finger
and wrap the other side around it and press it firmly in place.

4. Wrap the other tape around your middle finger in the same fashion.
5. Plug the connector of the relaxation sensor into the relax input socket no. 9
on the dashboard.

A value is displayed, which starts at 199.
199
The displayed value drops gradually as you relax after training, and increases with the stress level.
The Relax-value can drop all the way to almost zero. The user should therefor contribute to his/her
relaxing and avoid any other stress. You can support this process by getting off the device and sit in
a relaxed position, or lay down close to the ergo_bike and calm down.
The graphic screen displays a representation of the relaxation process. The displayed line shows
the transition from the maximal value (199) to the minimum relax value (0). This process is also
visible in window no. 5. The same process is presented in a graphical form in window no. 6
(see illustration to the right).
The actual relax level is indicated by a blinking bar in the display window
The complete relaxing process is divided into 25 levels. A short beep sound signals
when each level is achieved. The successive beeps are each lower in tonality.

Accessories (sold separately)

Swing feet
The oscillating movements occurring naturally with

real bikes cannot normally be reproduced when
training on an ergometer. These movements include
balancing movements or back and forth oscillations.
The rigid construction, and the fixed feet used to
support the device prevent any dynamic movement.
Moreover, heavy training would eventually lead
to overloading the frame and mounting parts.
Squeaking noises are a typical consequence of
such overloads.
The wireless ergo_bike chest band

We recommend using the wireless chest band to achieve a better and more precise heart rate
measurement. The corresponding receiver is built into the device.
Multifunction memory card reader

Training data will automatically be stored in full
details on the ergo_memo-card through the
reader attached to the PC interface of the
dashboard. The 32MB version of the card
permits storage and evaluation of up to 2000
hours of training.

Aching muscles Painful phenomenon of the muscles tissues, occurring when the aerobic zone is exceeded leading
to an overproduction of lactic acid. In order to avoid it, the ergo_bike compares measured data, input parameters and
statistical values and displays the resulting aerobic zone status.
Aerobic zone The training phase during which the load on the muscles is enough to keep them supplied with oxygen,
but not enough to cause an overproduction of lactic acid (aching muscles). Aerobics also makes use of the aerobic zone.

What to do, if ...?

In the case of a failure ................... what to do if...?
All ergo_bike ergometer bikes undergo a detailed test before they are shipped.
Should you, in spite of this, face a functional failure, the following recommendations should tell you what to do.
General procedure to identify the cause of a failure

The ergo_bike bikes consist essentially of two functional units
- the dashboard and the drive unit.
The drive unit is located inside the device, behind the saddle column. It contains the power supply, the eddy current
brake and the related electronic circuits.
The dashboard contains the electronic circuits used for system control, display and data processing. The dashboard
and the drive unit communicate via a cable, which is routed through the handlebars column, having a connector on the
dashboard, on the drive unit and in the handlebars column.
Should the assembled ergo_bike fail to function, the defect would generally be found either on the dashboard, the drive
unit or the cable connecting them.
The most frequent cause of complaint turns out to be jamming the connecting cable during the assembly
process of the ergo_bike, or not properly plugging the cable connector.
In the event of a failure, check carefully first if
The cable connector located on the lower end of the handlebars column is properly connected, and that the cable
was not jammed or cut when the handlebars column was mounted onto the frame. To do this you need to
disassemble the handlebars column.
The cable was not jammed or cut while mounting the dashboard on the handlebars column, or if the cable connector
to the circuit board inside the dashboard is loose. To do this you need to disassemble the dashboard.
Fastening screws
All the fastening screws must be tightened from time to time. We recommend tightening them at least after the first
50 km and then once every 500 km.
Contacting your dealer or the service department of the ergo_bike
If the cause of the failure could not be identified, you should contact your dealer or the repair hotline of
daum electronic gmbh (telephone number ++49 / (0) 911 / 97 536-0).
We need the following information:

1. The device number (this number is on the silver label on the rear lower part of the frame).
2. The dashboard version number (you can access this number under the Menu, Information, Version Data,
"Serial Number on the graphic display).
3. The proof of purchase and the device reference sheet.

4. ergo_bike ergometer bikes have a built-in failure diagnostic system, which signals device functionality using a red
and a yellow LED.
These LEDs are located behind the transparent side cover (to the right side looking in the front direction) in the upper
right section on the circuit board of the drive unit, and can be seen from the outside (through the grid). With the device
switched on, the yellow LED should blink when pedalling slowly, and blink faster when pedalling fast.
With the device switched on, the red LED should light with high intensity when pedalling against a low load, and
decrease in intensity as the load increases.
Please inform us of the status of these LEDs for all complaints concerning the device is not braking or the device is
not braking properly. This enables us to draw relatively concrete conclusions about the cause of the failure.
If you wish to obtain more information on your device, please visit our service and repair hints web site on Internet
(www.daum-electronic.de). You can also call our service and repair hotline
(telephone number ++49 / (0) 911 / 97 536-0).

What to do, if ...?

Software Failure / Loss of Dashboard Control
All computer controlled appliances have one undesirable
characteristic in common that is that the normal software
operation can sometime fail for generally unknown reasons.
This situation is generally described by the expression the
system has frozen. Should the dashboard operation fail
and cannot be restored by means of normal keys operations,
then the solution would be to press the recessed RESET key
(No. 14) underneath the dashboard with a pointed tool (e.g.
a pencil or ball pen).
RESET key
recessed
Noises
ergo_bike ergometers are equipped with quality ball bearings and a silent belt
drive. However, it cannot be avoided that remaining noises be heard, which are
in the range of LpA 52 dB (decibel).
The squeaking or other disturbing noises generally originate from:

- Loosening of the pedal arm fastening screws!
- The pedals
- The fastening screws of the feet or handlebars column!
These screws must be tightened from time to time, but in any cases every 500 km!!
Notes about the pulse alarm
If you enter the age of the user under Age, and a heart rate limit value that should not be
exceeded under heart rate in the limit values menu (see page 5), then the alarm will
always sound whenever
- the aerobic zone corresponding to the age of the user is exceeded (see page 7)
and
- the value entered under heart rate higher limit is reached (see page 5)
.
If you want the alarm to sound only when the heart rate limit value entered under heart rate higher limit
is reached, you should enter 10 as the user age under Age!!
Drive / Braking unit (eddy current brake)

If a major failure is detected on the drive unit, it is possible to replace the complete unit. The braking unit,
which consists of the flywheel, a transformer, a belt tensioning device and the mounting plate, is mounted
with only three screws.
You can order an exchange unit from daum electronic GmbH. The defective unit can then be relatively easily
replaced with the new one, without requiring any adjustment, by your dealer or a bike mechanic.
The flywheel of the ergo_bike is equipped with two journal bearings. These bearings continue to run for a little
while after you stop pedalling. Feeling a light drag on the foot rods is then normal. The journal bearings should
be lubricated with Klberplex BEM 34-132 grease every about 3000km (if the drag on the foot rods increases
and becomes uncomfortable), depending on the load.

Fine tuning
As with a racing bike, your back should be in an ergonomical position and your
legs should be slightly bend at the pedal lowest (bottom) position. The figure to
the left illustrates this posture.
*
As a way to achieve an optimal training

position, we recommend you start by
adjusting the saddle to the appropriate
height, and then adjusting the handlebars
to the same height.

the saddle is in the required position.
The sitting position is adjusted by means of the sliding rail

on the saddle support. For this you should loosen the button
underneath the rail, bring the saddle in the required horizontal
position and finally retighten the button again.
