Symptoms Probable Cause / Corrective Action
LED does not light up • No current in the wall outlet. Check the fuses.
• Power switch o 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.
No connection to PC • Check cables (connections and type)
• Right "cmd type", see section "Connection to controller"
• Right COM-port (PC software or similar)
• Drivers missing when using the USB-serial adaptor
No workload • Pendulum is stuck. Contact service centre for action / replacement.
• Check that the pedal speed is higher than 30 RPM. No workload is put on if the
actual pedal speed is lower than 30 RPM. See in Monark test software: - ’Monark
Ergomedic’ - ’Service program...’ - ’Service Setup...’ - ’Pedal measurement’. The
default setting is 30 RPM but can be adjusted to the desired value.
• Check calibration.
• Check that the brake belt is suspended in the spring and located right on the
ywheel.
No heart rate displayed • A chest belt is already connected and active at the moment to other equipment.
• Check that the battery is alright in the chest belt, moisten your thumbs and
click on the electrodes, a low clicking sound will be heard at the battery cover,
(not chest belts with Bluetooth technology) alternatively that the heart rate is
displayed in the PC software.
• If no pulse is not detected despite new battery, try to take the battery out from
the chest belt transmitter and let it be out for six minutes. If it does not work
anyway, contact your dealer.
• Make sure the belt ts correctly on the test person, see Fig: Placement heart rate
belt in section "Pulse system", and that the strap is suciently tightened. Moisten
the electrodes, in severe cases it may be necessary to use gel alternative, one
drop of dish washing liquid mixed in water. Pulse signal strength varies from
person to person. Try the belt with a person known to have a good pulse wearing
a chest belt.
Irregular heart rate • Use an external device (eg. pulse clock or an app in the cell phone) to check if
it also has an irregular pulse. If this is the case, there is probably disturbance in
the room. The disturbance may be electronic elds from power cables, elevators,
lamps etc. or other electronic devices which are too close (eg. cell phones). Move
the bike to a dierent location in the room or change rooms. Even synthetic
fabrics can create static electricity that interferes with heart rate signal. If the HR
remains irregular at work the person's health should be examined.
No RPM reading • Check cable.
Unable to calibrate force • The potentiometer shaft is not attached to the pendulum shaft, tighten the screw.
• Check the potentiometer so that it is not misadjusted. See the computer software
menu - ’Monark Ergomedic’ - ’Service program...’ - ’Potentiometer’ and follow
the instructions that appear on the screen. Then calibrate the electronics again.
