4.3. CONNECTING TO AN EXTERNAL DEVICE (ECG AND/OR
METABOLIC MONITOR)
The medical version of the machine (HC1400) can be connected to an external device (ECG and/or
metabolic monitor) for carrying out exertion tests. The connection is made through the machine’s
RS-232 serial port. When operating in this mode, the machine executes the profile (speed and
incline) set by the external device, which sends the necessary parameters via the serial port using
specific protocols. The machine currently supports the following protocols:
• Marquette protocol: named after an ECG manufacturer;
• TrackMaster protocol: named after a treadmill manufacturer.
The machine SW is configured for interfacing with an external device using the dip-switches on the
CPU board, as indicated in paragraph 9.1.1. and using a specific cable for each model.
Contact Technogym Technical Service to obtain the diagram of the cable.
In order to be compatible with the machine, an ECG must have a digital RS-232 port and support
one of the two above-named protocols.
The table below lists the devices which have been successfully tested:

(*) In this SW version, the Select Treadmill menu includes the item “Technogym Run Race
protocol”. Choose this option.
(**) These Esaote models must have the “Stress” program installed, which interfaces the ECG to
treadmills. To check whether this program is installed, after switching on the ECG press the
FUNC key on the keypad.
For other ECGs with compatible characteristics, we always recommended contacting Technogym to
ascertain their effective compatibility.
