•The Model EC-1600Cateye Ergociser™ function that we have explained up to this point is only the beginning. Let us move on to an explanation of other functions.

1.Aerobic power measurement

(physical fitness test)

•Over a period of 10 minutes, you will encounter three different levels of pedal resistance. Your pulse will change in response to the different levels of resistance, and this change in pulse will be used to calculate your overall fitness level,

also expressed is MOU (VO2 max). MOU stands for maximum oxygen uptake. The higher your overall fitness level, the greater your endurance.

•Your MOU value is compared with the MOU values of other people who are the same age and sex as you. You are given a physical strength number from 1 to 5 depending on how you rank.

•These results should give you a good idea of your own fitness level and help you to determine what sort of training program will be the most effective for you. For information on how to choose a training program, refer to 'Your strength level and training index' on page 22~25 in the Operation section on this booklet.

TORQUE

Upper Pulse Limit Alarm

2.Automatic training

(training at a constant pulse rate)

•You set the pulse rate at which you want to exercise and the Model EC-1600automatically adjusts pedal resistance to maintain that pulse rate. This is an ideal basic form of aerobic training.

•As you repeat the exercise at a certain pulse rate and make progress in your fitness level, you will be able to create a greater work intensity under the same pulse rate. Further, you will be able to try exercising at a higher target pulse rate.

PULSE RATE

•For your safety, the upper pulse limit alarm is provided in all the programs of the EC-1600.If your pulse rate exceeds this limit, the buzzer beeps and the pedal resistance automatically drops to the minimum of 0.5 kg·m.

•If this alarm is activated, the program is suspended at that point and en-

ters the cool down phase, except in 'Manual training' program in which

you can continue the exercise using button to set the desired torque again.

3.Isopower training

(training at a constant energy expenditure)

•The work rate or the figure for energy expenditure (watts) shown on the screen of the Model EC1600 is calculated from pedal resistance (kg·m) and cadence (rpm).

•In isopower training, you set the desired work intensity in watts. The Model EC-1600automatically adjusts the pedal resistance

(kg·m) depending on your pedal cadence (rpm), so as to keep a constant work rate in watts.

•This type of training is also called constant load, and is often used in cardio-vascularrehabilitation.

Control range:

cadence: -----40~100 rpm wattage:------25~200 watts

Note: If you set your target wattage as under 50 watts, control limit of cadence (rpm) becomes under 100 rpm.

WORK RATE

4.Interval training

(exercise + relief periods)

•By switching back and forth between exercise and relief periods of varying length, interval training gives you the kind of program that professionals use to build their stamina and energy.

•On the model EC-1600,3 patterns of interval training programs are preset for developing dashing power, speed, or your stamina respectively, PLUS one customized pattern for you to input your personal program.

TLD-1:dash strength training

(sprint power)

15 seconds exercise followed by a 45 second relief.

TLD-2:speed training

(anaerobic power)

30 seconds of exercise followed by a 60 second relief.

TLD-3:stamina training

(aerobic power)

60 seconds of exercise followed by a 30 second relief.

TLD-4:customized pattern

•Choose one of the above patterns, and adjust the level of intensity by specifying pedal resistance (torque: kg·m).

•During the exercise period (increased load portion of interval), you should pedal with your greatest effort, then you should pedal slower and lighter during relief period (lower load portion of interval).

•In the TLD-3stamina training program, it is advisable to pedal fast enough in the exercise period to keep your pulse rate at 60~80% of the maximum pulse rate for your age. (Refer to page 22~23)

•By choosing TLD-4customized pattern, you can write in your original pattern as desired. (See pages 40 and 41.)

TLD-1:

dash strength training

TLD-2:

5.Hill profile training

( training by cycling up mountains )

•Pedal resistance changes over time to simulate the effect of cycling in the mountains. All changes in pedal resistance are shown on the screen.

•The following eight types of mountain profiles plus one customized pattern are programmed.

PRF-1:the Apennines (Italy)PRF-2:the Apparachian

(U.S.A.)

PRF-3:the Cascades (U.S.A.)PRF-4:the Pyrenees

(France, Spain) PRF-5:Mount Fuji (Japan)PRF-6:the Rockies (U.S.A.)PRF-7:the Alps (Switzerland)PRF-8:the Himalayas (Nepal)PRF-9:customized pattern

•The mountain profiles from 1 to 8 are arranged in order of ascending difficulty. Do not strain yourself, but rather enjoy the form of each mountain.

•Selecting PRF-9customized pattern, you can create and input your original hill profile. (Also refer to pages 40 and 41.)

•Minimum training time is 16 minutes. If you set a longer training time, the mountain profiles will be stretched out horizontally.

6.Manual training

(training at any desired pedal resistance)

•You choose the pedal resistance (torque: kg·m), and it stays constant regardless of your pulse rate or pedal cadence. This is the most traditional way in which stationary bicycles have been used.

Torque setting range:

0.5~4.0 kg·m Minimum graduation:

9 How to make a data card

Purpose of Exercise

•Have you ever been out of breath after climbing a flight of stairs or after a brisk walk? When we are walking, running and even sleeping, our body is taking in oxygen and generating energy. Oxygen taken in by the lungs is sent to the entire body via the circulatory system. If the function of the circulatory system , i.e. aerobic power, is insufficient, we may experience being 'out of breath' or experience yet other physical problems.

•We therefore perform 'sports for the heart' (aerobic exercise), which causes the heart to work a little more a few times a week, thus increasing the oxygen supply to the body via the circulatory system. The purpose of exercise with the Ergociser is to improve both your physical strength and the functioning of the circulatory system: to improve our aerobic power.

Exercise Plan

•To effectively perform 'sports for the heart' and to improve your aerobic power, it is necessary to exercise according to your age and physical fitness. If exercise exceeds your physical fitness level you only injure your body. On the other hand, if the exercise is insufficient, a positive effect cannot be expected.

•The Ergociser EC-1600has 6 types ofcomputer-controlledprograms. One program is the 'Aerobic Power Measurement Program'. This test program evaluates your physical fitness level, while the other 5 programs are for actual exercise.

•The 'Aerobic Power Measurement Program' evaluates your physical fitness level so that you can determine the training index and begin exercise based on the measured result. After exercising for a while (about 3 months), you become aware of the effect on your body. Test your physical fitness level again and gradually set a higher training index, thus maintaining and improving your physical fitness level. A special feature of the Ergociser™ EC-1600 is that it combines testing with exercise.

Aerobic Power Measurement

Exercise Planning

Exercise

Exercise Frequency and Time

•At least 15 minutes are required for one exercise period, however if possible a 20 ~ 30 minute period is even better.

•To maintain your present condition, exercise at lease twice a week, 3 times a week would improve your condition even more. The ideal however is to exercise every day or 5 ~ 6 times a week.

Note : You could also make up your target pulse rate more simply by deducting your age from a certain figure. For a beginner, for instance, it is recommendable to start with [160–age(approx. 30~50% depending on your age)], and gradually proceed to higher level such as[180–age(approx. 50~70%)]. It would be ideal to aim at[190–age]eventually.

Glossary of Terms

• Maximum Heart Rate

The heart rate increases according to the intensity of exercise, there is however a limit. The maximum heart rate that a person can sustain is called the 'maximum heart rate'. Generally the heart rate declines as we get older, this differs however between individuals, and is largely due to how much one exercises.

• Difference Between the Heart Rate and Pulse Rate

The heart rate is the rate of the heart beat per minute measured by an electrocardiograph. On the other hand, the pulse rate is measured as follows.

1)By palpating an artery near the skin surface, such as the carotid artery, measure the pulse count of a blood vessel.

2)Transmit a sensor light to an earlobe or finger tip, and measure the pulse count via the subtle changes of the sensor light transmission caused by the heart beat.

Although the measurement principle and method are different, both the heart and pulse rates have the same value per minute, and are therefore regarded as synonymous.

Since earlobes move very little during exercise and are not influenced very much by physical movement, it is appropriate to use an earlobe to measure the pulse rate during exercise. The Ergociser EC-1600therefore measures the pulse rate by detecting changes in the circulation of the earlobe.

• Pulse Limit

As a standard maximum heart rate, '220–Age','204–0.69x Age', etc. are used. With the ErgociserEC-1600,a somewhat lower value is used:'200–Age'.This pulse limit allows a person to safely exercise.

• Target Pulse Rate

The pulse rate to maintain during exercise as a target is called the 'target pulse rate'. In the 'Auto training' program, this pulse rate is automatically maintained. However, even with other programs, always be conscious of your target pulse rate during exercise. Refer to the illustration on the left.

• Exercise Level Based on the Pulse Rate

The pulse rate increases according to the intensity of the exercise. In other words, the pulse rate during exercise is a barometer for the exercise level. The exercise level can be determined in percentages by the following formula.

Exercise Level (%) =Pulse rate during exercise – Pulse rate at restx 100 Maximum heart rate – Pulse rate at rest

Therefore, if you want to discern the target of the exercise level from the pulse rate (target pulse rate), you can calculate as follows.

Target pulse rate = (maximum heart rate – pulse rate at rest)

Exercise Level (%)

x + pulse rate at rest

100

1 Automatic Training

•In this program, the exercise intensity is set by the target pulse rate (beats per minute: bpm). Select your target pulse rate from the following table, based on your age and physical fitness level (PFL) from 1 to 5.

•If the target you select is difficult, reduce the target pulse rate by 10 bpm. You need not work hard from the beginning, continuing is most important.

•This table is arranged so that even people who have not exercised so much can benefit. The targets in this table may be too easy for people who exercise often. If you have confidence, increase your target in 10 bpm units, referring to the target zone in the illustration on page 22.

•Exercise for at least a 15 minute period. If possible a 20 ~ 30 minute period is even better.

•If overweight control (calorie combustion) is the purpose of the exercise, set the target pulse rate lower so that you can easily exercise even while watching TV, but extend your exercise time longer, exceeding 30 minutes.

2 Isopower Training

•In this program the exercise intensity is set by the work rate: wattage. Select the target wattage from the table shown below, according to your PWCmax. value provided by the Aerobic Power Measurement.

•If the selected wattage proves too hard for you, try again at the level 10 watts lower. When it becomes easy enough, raise the target by 10 watts.

•Exercise for at least a 15 minute period. If possible a 20 ~ 30 minute period is even better. Since warm up takes 3 minutes, set your actual exercise time to 'actual exercise time + 3 minutes'.

3 Interval Training

•In this program, select one of the 4 patterns (TLD 1 ~ 4) depending on the power you want to improve, then set the exercise intensity by the pedal resistance (torque: kg·m.).

•This program is for people with a long history of exercise.

•The following is a reference. Settings should match your physical fitness level and purpose.

•Exercise for at least a 15 minute period. If possible a 20 ~ 30 minute period is even better. Since warm up takes 3 minutes, set your exercise time to 'actual exercise time + 3 minutes'.

•Depending on the physical fitness level and purpose, some people may exercise at a higher pulse limit than the value calculated by age. In such instances, set the pulse limit slightly higher, being conscious of your own physical condition.

•If you select the stamina aerobic power development pattern (TLD 3), maintain your pulse rate in the 60 ~ 80% range of the illustration on page 22.

4 Hill Profile Training

• Merely select one of the 9 patterns of this program. Try different hill profiles (shape of the mountain) in a range where you don't feel too much difficulty. The exercise intensity can also be adjusted by pedaling slower or faster depending on the changes of pedal resistance.

• First, choose the most suitable preference (PRF) according to your PWCmax value, from the table shown below.

• The exercise time is initially set as 16 minutes, but you can revise it down to minimum 3 minutes or up to 99 minutes.

• The calorie consumption provided above is based on the cadence of 60 rpm and the exercise time of 16 minutes. The calorie expenditure will vary in proportion with the pedal cadence and the exercise time.

5 Manual Training

•In this program, the exercise intensity is set by the pedal resistance (torque: kg·m.).

•Exercise for at least a 15 minute period. If possible a 20 ~ 30 minute period is even better. Since the warm up takes 3 minutes, set your exercise time to 'actual exercise time + 3 minutes'.

Aerobic power measurement (2)

•There are five physical fitness levels: 1 ~ 5. These levels are relative evaluations that compare your maximum oxygen uptake (MOU), estimated by the aerobic power measurement program, with the values of other people of the same age and sex (Physical Fitness Level Test Table).

•Ergociser™ EC-1600stores the following physical fitness level test table, which can be selected by the selector switch on the back panel of the control unit. (See page 9)

Maximum Oxygen Uptake (MOU)

•MOU is widely used as an index for total physical endurance. MOU indicates the amount of oxygen one can intake at the limit of their physical work capacity. In the Ergociser™ EC-1600,MOU is calculated based on the maximum physical work capacity (PWC max.) explained below, assuming that

1 litre of oxygen corresponds to 5.0 Kcal, and

the human body efficiency rate for a bicycle exercise is 23%

Maximum Physical Work Capacity (PWC max.)

•In the Ergociser™ EC-1600'Aerobic power measurement' program the weight of the pedals are changed at 3 levels, and the pulse rate at the end point of each level is measured. Based on the result, the relationship between the work rate (wattage) and the pulse rate is analyzed by linear regression. Extend the regression line until reaching the maximum heart rate(=204–0.69x age) which is estimated by age. The work rate (wattage) of this point becomes the maximum physical work capacity.

•PWC max. safely estimates how much exercise is possible at the limit of physical work capacity, that is, at maximum heart rate without performing actual exercise.

•In the 'Aerobic power measurement' program of the EC-1600,the workload (pedal resistance: torque) for the subsequent stage is determined depending on your pulse rate at the previous stage. The workload (pedal resistance: torque) will be increased along one of the routes illustrated below, depending on your pulse rate ™during the program.

•The pulse rates specified below represent the protocol for a person of 20 years. For the people over 20, the borderline of pulse rate will be adjusted by the age adjustment coefficient (K), which is obtained by the following formula:

K =

204–0.69x Age

204–0.69x 20

• For people over 60 years, the coefficient (K) is calculated as 60.

Remark: The load change for males over 50 years of age is the same as for females.

When the age is less than 20, the load changes as if the age were 20.

External computer control via an RS232C terminal

External computer control via an RS232C

terminal

If you connect the optional 'RS232C Communication Kit,' the Ergociser™ can communicate with an external computer.

Specifically, you can write a program with an external computer in Basic or in another computer language, and operate the Ergociser™ EC-1600according to the written procedure. Any instructions input by the buttons on theEC-1600control unit can be input from the external computer, and theEC-1600sends data to an external computer every second. Since command signals are in ASCII character code, any computer that generates these codes can be used, receiving and transmitting via the RS232C terminal.

Transmission Format

Contents of Data Transmission from the EC-1600

The EC-1600outputs display data in character code, continuously when you set exercise conditions and once per second when you are exercising. Since the contents of the LCD differs according to setting exercise conditions and during exercise, the content of data output also differs.

1) Setting Exercise Conditions

Note: '0' is displayed in each digit for the 3 types of aerobic power measurement results, until the program is completed.

Externally Controlling the EC-1600

1) During Setting Exercise Conditions

When exercise conditions are being set, you can send data in a 'character code + numeric code + CR code' format (shown in example below) from an external computer, setting your exercise conditions.

Using chestbelt heart rate sensor

Wireless chestbelt sensor picks up your heart rate

In place of the earlobe pulse sensor, the EC-1600can also receive your pulse signal transmitted from a particular type of wireless chestbelt sensor. The 'Wireless Pulse Sensor Kit' (an optional item) is recommended for the customers who may feel inconvenience in picking up the pulse rate from the earlobe.

Function of wireless chestbelt sensor

The wireless chestbelt sensor is a simplified and compact electrocardiograph as widely used in hospitals on the same principle. At hospitals, electrodes are attached to several parts of the body, and a cardiogram is determined on the basis of potential differences among those electrodes. The chestbelt sensor picks up the heart rate more simply through potential difference between two electrodes built-inthere and in contact with the body.

The pulse data are transmitted to the control unit by radio wave, thus eliminating inconveniences of handling the sensor cable and offering concentrated intense training.

The 'Wireless Heart Rate Sensor Kit' consists of a chestbelt sensor unit (transmitter) and a receiving circuitry to be mounted inside of the control unit.

Attaching the chestbelt sensor

The chestbelt sensor should be put around your chest with two electrodes in contact with your body at the center.

For further information, please refer to the Manual enclosed in the 'Wireless Heart Rate Sensor Kit' (an optional item).

Chestbelt heart rate sensor adapted in

position

Direct contact to lower chest skin is ideal in use.

Installation Instructions

Electro-Clutch

A. Mounting the Electro-Clutch

1. Ideally, the Electro-Clutch should be mounted

on a through-shaft for firm support. In the
case of a stub shaft, the stub should be as
long as the clutch assembly, although for
moderate duty applications a shaft which is
2/3 or more the length of the assembly
normally provides adequate support.

2. Insert the key in the shaft. If the keyseat is

opened at one end of the shaft, prick punch
the shaft to prevent the key from working out.

3. Slide the assembled Electro-Clutch on the

shaft. (When the Electro-Clutch is mounted
on a stub shaft, the set collar end of the
clutch should be toward the support
bearings.) Tighten the setscrews in the set
collar. (Figure 1)

Figure 1

4. Secure the torque arm to the tab on the field

and rotor assembly. Secure the other end of
the torque arm to a solid base. Under no
circumstances should the torque arm be
pinned down so tightly that it preloads the
bearing. For more information on torque
tabs, see page 4.
