Operating Instruction Power on crank or flywheel Here are instructions for connection and options for connection to external devices. If advanced technical documentation / data protocol for system builders or similar are required, please contact Monark Exercise AB. Monark bikes measure the effect of the flywheel, so it will be a friction of 6-8% if you measure the impact of the pedals (if the effect is measured on the crankshaft, the difference is 4-5 %).
Validation Scale adjustment The following controls ensures that the bike works for daily use. • Check the adjustment / zero of the scale • Check the pulse function • Check the braking force • Test by pedalling and check that a reasonable RPM is obtained - verify by a clock. Feel if the pedals move smoothly. Listen for unusual sounds. Remedy if necessary. • Adjust the handlebar and saddle and make sure they are securely attached and that the adjustment is working properly.
Validation of force Start Monark Test Software (it is available for free download from our web site: www.monarkexercise. se) and select a test programme from the menu "Test". In the dialogue box that opens is a box showing the braking force in Newton, see Fig: Force and HR display. You do not have to press "Start" (1) to get the heart rate showed (2), but you must press "Start" to show the force (3). 1. With the pendulum pointer at 0, the display should show "00N" 2.
Shifters on the handlebar The workload can be regulated via the shifters on the handlebars. The basic principle is that you change in large steps on the left side and in small steps on the right side. How big stages is set in Monark Test Software (MTS). In MTS, you can also change if you prefer to adjust the workload with large steps on the right side or small steps on the left side instead.
Monark novo Contol Unit Connection to external control unit No tests can be performed at Monark novo display unit, then you must connect your bike to a PC, via the Monark novo control unit, and use a special test software. A suitable one is available to download from our website: www.monarkexercise.se. 1 2 The bike do not need to be switched off when connecting external components, but it is recommended, to prevent transmission of incorrect data.
Communication protocol (command type) Command type settings The bike's two free ports can be set in various command types to suit different standards and external equipments. The four available command types are: Default for the two free ports is command type 0, which will work in most cases. If you need to change it you can do it in settings in terminal mode in the Monark Exercise software. 0: Standard command set or ”PC-mode” Command type "0" is default for both of the free ports.
Set commando type for the RS232 port Monark test software When power is turned on to the bike gives an indication of what command type the RS232 port is set to. First, a long beep followed by the same number of short beeps is the command type settings for the RS232 port. In default ("0") you do not hear a short beep, but at normal Ergoline setting ("2"), you hear two short beeps after the long beep. Monark test software is available for free download from our website: www.monarkexercise.se.
Monark novo Display Unit Via the display, you can perform manual training with full precision and performance! With Monark novo display unit, you can control the bike via the touch screen. The display shows the current rpm, time, power and pulse (if any heart rate monitor is used). You can also set up target based training regarding distance, time and calories. If you want to do fitness tests, etc., you can download Monark test software to your PC from our website, www.monarkexercise.
Stop / pause training If you want to stop training, press "Pause" or just stop pedalling. After you have pressed "Pause", or about 10 seconds after you have stopped pedalling, the display is changed to "Workout paused", and the workload goes down to "base power". If you wish to continue the already initiated training, press "Start" and time counting is continuing and the workload returns to the last value. To cancel press "Stop" and the display is reset.
Workload control If you press the symbol for unit a menu appears, "Set unit", where you can change which workload unit you want to use. The workload unit you can choose is: l / min, kpm / min, Watt, Newton and kp. Rpm-independent - l / min (calculation, see below) - kpm/min Fig: Normal mode - Watt Unit Menu NOTE! The text turns red when the set power not can be reached with the current rpm with maximum workload.
Menu In the display is a menu where you can make different settings. You can find it by pressing the Menu icon. Then a menu is showed to the right in the display where you can select the following: Set a target (Set target) Heart rate settings (Pulse settings) Menu Settings general (Settings) Target Heart rate You can at any time during the training open the menu to e.g. search for a heart rate monitor.
Set distance target Here you can choose how long distance you want to train. There are some preset distances, but you can also select "custom" and then you choose a distance. The distance can be displayed in both km and miles, depending on what you selected in the "Settings general" (Metric units: Yes / No). The distance is not exactly, but it is a calculation: 50 rpm = 20 km / h, others rpm linear. 1 rpm 2/5 km / h 1 km / h 5/2 rpm Home "Target bar" appears in the display.
Set target in kCal Here you can choose how many calories you want to burn during your training. There are some preset values, but you can also select "custom" and then you choose how many calories you want to burn during your training. "Target bar" appears in the display. Home Press, increase value (1, 2, 3...) Home Step back Start Press, decrease value (9, 8, 7...) 1000 kcal 100 kcal 10 kcal 1 kcal When you have achieved your target, the display shows "Target achieved".
Pulse settings Here you can choose what heart rate standard you want the bike to search for, Bluetooth SMART, ANT+ or both. The person's heart rate ("pulse") can be measured by, for example, a chest belt that detects your pulse from your heart and sends the pulse to the bike with Bluetooth SMART or ANT+ technology. Current heart rate Bluetooth SMART When the bike and a Bluetooth SMART heart rate monitor have been paired the heart rate monitor Bluetooth ID and the current heart rate is displayed at "Pulse".
Settings general General settings Here you can make the following settings: Autostart: Yes/No Yes: time count and training will start automatically when you start pedalling No: you must press “start” before the time count and training starts Metric units: Yes/No If you choose Yes units are shown in km, if you choose No the units are shown in miles Start screen: (not activated) Last used Standard Single value Home Language Not activated Maintenance Service and maintenance.
Connect Bluetooth SMART heart rate monitor Connection to heart rate monitor with several bikes (Monark novo control unit) (pulse mode 3) The bike has a module that can connect to the Bluetooth SMART compatible heart rate belts or similar devices designed to this standard. The standard includes no distance function so we recommend different procedures depending on whether there is only one heart rate monitor or there may be several within the range of the receiver (10-15 m).
NOTE! It must be ensured that no other belts in addition to the belt that should be paired to the bike is active OR that any other device (cell phone, bike computer, etc.) that could connect to the belts are active during the process! Activate the belt by someone wearing it as instructed and standing near the bike. Type pulsemode 2 in the terminal window to ensure that the bluetooth system is active. Then let the the bike pair automatically with the belt.
Calibration Calibration electronics Calibration is necessary so that the electronic and the mechanical parts of the cycle conform. The work carried out on the bike is a result of the braking force (pendulum mode) and the number of pedal revolutions (= distance). The effect is then counted out by dividing the work done by the time it took to accomplish it. Validation includes both mechanical and electronic procedures.
Electronic calibration - with the pendulum The best way to calibrate electronically is with the pendulum directly at start up. The following steps show how the electronics are calibrated against the pendulum. 1. Open the front cover. 2. Check that the brake belt is loose on the flywheel, see Fig: Control loose brake belt. If not, move the pendulum to 4 kp and hold it there a while to loosen it. Move the pendulum pointer to 0 again, and check again that the brake belt is loose.
Testing with LC7TT novo Test person enforcement The versatility of the LC7TT novo enables it to be utilized in a variety of testing environments. The bike is however designed, and will be at its best, in physiological tests in sports medicine. The bike performs automated tests virtually by itself, requiring minimal intervention by the test operator. This allows the operator to pay careful attention to the test person without distraction.
Reviewing results Power calculation The maximum oxygen uptake is a standard measurement of the condition of the heart- and lung-functions. Dependent on the linear relationship between work and oxygen uptake and between work and heart rate, the heart rate response to work may be used to estimate the oxygen consumption. If the maximum heart rate is considered, the maximum oxygen consumption may be determined. 1 RPM = that a point on the flywheel moves 6 meters per minute.
Troubleshooting guide Symptoms LED does not light up Probable Cause / Corrective Action • • • • No current in the wall outlet. Check the fuses. Power switch off on the bike / Monark novo control unit. Correct power adaptor? Check that the transformer information (voltage, current, polarity, AC / DC) in section "Facts" complies with the transformer which is used. Check cables and connections.
Troubleshooting guide Symptoms Probable Cause / Corrective Action There is a click noise when pedalling (increases with the weight) • • • The pedals are not tight. Tighten them or change pedals. The crank is loose. Check, tighten. The base bearing is loose. Contact your dealer for service. Scratching sound is heard when pedalling • Check that no material scrapes against the crank - chain - wheel - except the brake belt. There’s a click noise and a squeak noise when pedalling • Loosen the chain.
Service Service check and Maintenance Note that the text about service and maintenance is universal and that all parts may not be relevant to your bike. NOTE! Make sure the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before making connections. It is important to carry out a regular service on your ergometer, to ensure it is kept in good condition. Always keep the bike clean and well lubricated.
Batteries Brake belt contact surface If the display is battery-operated, the batteries are in a separate package at delivery. If the storing time has been long the battery power can be too low to make the computer act correctly. Batteries must then be changed. Deposits of dirt on the brake belt and on the contact surface may cause the unit to operate unevenly and will also wear down the brake belt.
Chain 1/2“ x 1/8“ Check the lubrication and tension of the chain at regular intervals. In the middle of its free length the chain should have a minimum play (3) of 10 mm (1/4 inch). See Fig: Chain adjustments. When the play in the chain is about 20 mm (3/4 inch) the chain must be tightened. Otherwise it will cause abnormal wear of the chain and sprockets. Therefore it is always recommended to keep the chain play as small as possible.
Freewheel sprocket When replacing the freewheel sprocket remove frame covers if necessary. Remove the chain according to section ”Chain 1/2” x 1/8””. Loosen the axle nuts and lift off the flywheel. Remove the axle nut, washer, chain adjuster and spacer on the freewheel side. Replace sprocket-adaptor and assemble the new parts in reverse order according to the above. The sprocket should be lubricated with a few drops of oil once a year. Tilt the cycle to make it easier for the oil to reach the bearing.
