The Monark 928 E is designed to in a simple way be used for Max and SubMax cardiovascular tests, calculate VO2 capacity and more. The bike can also be used for normal exercise. Ergometer 928 E is equipped with a meter that has 6 different programs - Training, METS, Åstrand, YMCA, Increment and PWC. The cycle can also be connected to a computer with software for testing (software is available for free download from our website: www.monarkexercise.se). 928 E also have a new and more powerful engine for faster power control. For more detailed description of the meter's functions, see the section "Display Description". Each 928 E is calibrated at the factory. This means that you can begin to use the ergometer directly after assembly. However, if the user wishes to verify the scale calibration please read the instruction for ” Calibration” in this manual.

Operating instruction

Cycle adjustments When adjusting the seat height:

Workload adjustment A change of the workload is done either by changing the pedal speed or by pressing (+/-) button on the display to increase or decrease the brake belt tension on the flywheel. See Fig: Workload adjustment and connections.

Turn the knob (1) on the seat post and pull it out. Adjust the height and lock the knob again. Handlebar settings To adjust the handlebar angle loosen the quick release lever (2). See Fig: Adjustments.

Power measurement The cycle is designed to measure the power on the flywheel, because tests/protocols are made for it (for example Åstand’s and YMCA).

1

Power Connection The bike is designed to be used with the AC adaptor which is included with the bike. Connects (3) to the bike as shown in Fig: Adjustments.

Connection to an external unit When the USB connector is inserted or when the meter detects a connected computer, you will hear a quick double beep. An icon for the USB lights in the display. Otherwise, the meter will turn off except rpm and HR. When the meter is connected to a computer, it turns to passive mode. No buttons are active except HEART button (to pairing the display and chest belt). The socket for the USB connector (1) is shown in Fig: Workload adjustment and connections.

As a standard calculation, when we display calories on our calibrated bikes, we use: 1 minute with 100W gives 7 kcal. It is easy to convert watts to calories if it was on the flywheel, the formula is 1W=0,2388x10-3 kcal/s with four decimals. But when you normally show calories you want to show the total amount of calories your body has used during your training, not only the calories "burnt" on the flywheel. We have chosen the formula given above that we think complies with the results given for a standard cycle position.

Monark 928 E

Pulse function

Pairing display and chest belt

The user's heart rate can be measured with a heart rate belt that detects the pulse of the heart. Chest belt ANT+ is supplied as standard.

Normally the display connects to the first ANT+ chest belt in "short range" and shows the heart rate until the chest belt is outside the "long range". If there is no ANT+ chest belt but a 5K chest belt in "short range", the heart rate from the 5K chest belt is displayed until the signal is lost.

Heart rate monitoring requires that the chest belt is correctly placed. Make sure that your skin is clean where the chest belt should be placed. When it is correctly fitted the logo on the belt will be central and readable, outward and upright, by another person. 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. NOTE! Electromagnetic waves can interfere with the telemetry system. Cellular phones are not allowed to be used near the bike during test.

ANT+ is prioritized and the first choice of the display. 5K is discriminated, but after 30 seconds with only 5K the display is locked to this chest belt as long as you do not lose the signal.

Monark Exercise AB recommend that you use an ANT+ chest belt for best function.

Pulse standard (chest belts) The following pulse standard / chest belts can be used: •

Standard, uncoded 5K chest belts (5-5.6 kHz)

•

Chest belts with ANT+

Short range ANT+: 0.6-0.8 m Long range ANT+: 4-5 m Range 5K: 0.8 m Fig: Placement chest belt

We recommend to always use the AC adaptor when using the bike. Without the AC adaptor, no workload control occurs and display starts alerting. Calibration and basic settings are saved even when the power fails. (The display can be powered by batteries, 4x1.5V, R14, but only when you make the basic settings.)

The display has the following functions: •

Settings for different units of measurement

•

It is possible to calibrate the meter to get the correct workload

•

Personal data like age, max pulse, weight and gender can be set

•

USB port for continuous output of data to an external computer

•

Several different programs, see table "Available Programs"

•

The display also shows current pulse as percentage of max HR

•

The workload is rpm independent

If the values for rpm and watt start flashing during use, the set workload requires higher brake power than 7 kp. To solve this, increase the rpm or decrease the set workload.

Calibration

Manual motor control

NOTE! Calibration can only be done via the display! • • •

Zero the scale, see "Scale - Zero adjustment" Release the brake belt tension by lifting the pendulum over 0.5 kp (the motor starts). (The brake belt tension can also be loosened by running the engine manually. This is done by pressing (-) in the calibration mode.)

By pressing the (+/-) button in the calibration mode, the motor can be run manually if rpm is less than 30. This is to ensure the functioning of the engine for service or support, and to release the brake belt tension. = Tightens brake belt = Slackens brake belt

Scale - zero adjustment

Mechanical calibration

Connect power to the bike. Loosen possible tension in the brake belt by moving the indicator to 0.5 kp. Hold it there until the belt feels loose. Then move the indicator to 0 again. Now check if the indicator is aligned with the 0-index on the scale.

Although all Ergometers are calibrated at the factory the user may wish to verify this by performing a mechanical scale calibration. If so, please do the following:

If adjustment is needed, loosen the locknut(1) and then change the position of the scale board, so that it will have its 0-index in line with the pointer. Tighten the lock nut after the adjustment. See Fig: Scale adjustments.

Fig: Scale adjustment 1) Locking screw

•

First, follow the steps in the "Scale -zero adjustment”. Adjust the pendulum if necessary.

•

Loosen the calibration hook from the hook holder, see Fig: Calibration mode.

•

A checked and approved weight(4), 4 kg (Art. No: 9000-211), attached to the calibration hook (5), see Fig: Calibration.

•

At the correct setting the weight has to be read by the pendulum scale at 4 kp-line (6). (Pendulum pointer should be centered over 4 kg mark.)

•

Lift off the calibration weight and replace the calibration hook in the hook holder, see Fig: Normal mode. Note! The calibration hook should always be left in the hook control.

If the pendulum pointer does not stand in the middle of the 4 kp mark the pendulum weigh must be adjusted by means of the adjusting weight (2). To be able to do this the left cover must be removed. 1

To adjust the position of the adjustment weight, the locking screw, in the center of the pendulum (3), must be loosened.

2

If the pointer shows too low, the adjustment weight must be moved upwards. If the pointer shows too high, the adjustment weight must be moved down and then locked in its new position. This process is repeated until pointer is in the correct position.

Astrand The test is automatically stopped after six minutes if Steady State (SS) is active. If not, the test continues until SS is reached or the time reaches 12 minutes. Steady State (SS) is checked by comparing the average HR during the period 4:45 to 5:00 with the average HR during the period 5:45 to 6:00. If the difference between these two average values is the same or less considered SS. When the test is completed the results are calculated and shown directly in the display. You can stop the test manually after six minutes by pressing START STOP even if SS is not active (an error message is shown). The result is calculated and displayed.

Explanations to error messages: LO Hr

The end pulse is too low and outside the Astrand tables so no results can be calculated.

Increment About Increment test Increment is a testing protocol, where the power is increased according to a predetermined schedule. An increment is used to see the HR increase in relation to the rising power. It is used in both submaximal to maximal tests to track the maximum capacity. The test continues until the test manager or test person cancels the test. Time for each step Set the time (minutes:seconds) for each single step. Pre-set time setting the first time is 3 minutes. Start power Set the first power level. Power increase per step (step) Set the power increase between each step of 5 to 200 W. Last value is presented as default. Test procedure The display begins with the start power (which is specified in "Start Power") and begins the countdown to the next step. The display will increase the power at the specified power increase each time the set time has passed and a new countdown begins. At the same time you hear a beep. The test is automatic after it has been started. If the test is stopped because of the low rpm it starts automatically even if the rpm increases again..
