USER MANUAL BT 4 Christopeit

Important Recommendations and Safety Instructions Our products are all tested and therefore represent the highest current safety standards. However, this fact does not make it unnecessary to observe the following principles strictly.1. Assembly the machine exactly as described in the installation instructions and use only the enclosed, specific parts of the machine. Before assembling, verify the completeness of the delivery against the delivery notice and the completeness of the carton against the assembly steps in the installation and operating instructions.2. Check the firm seating off all screws, nuts and other connections before using the machine for the first time and at regular intervals to ensure that the trainer is in a safe condition. In particular, the adjustment of saddle and handlebar need smooth function and good condition.3. Set up the machine in a dry, level place and protect it from moisture and water. Uneven parts of the floor must be compensated by suitable measures and by the provided adjustable parts of the machine if such are installed. Ensure that no contact occurs with moisture or water.4. Place a suitable base (e.g. rubber mat, wooden board etc.) beneath the machine if the area of the machine must be specially protected against indentations, dirt etc.5. Before beginning training, remove all objects within a radius of 2 metres from the machine.6. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents to clean the machine and employ only the supplied tools or suitable tools of your own to assemble the machine and for any necessary repairs. Remove drops of sweat from the machine immediately after finishing training.

7. WARNING! Systems of the heart frequency supervision can be inexact.

Excessive training can lead to serious health damage or to the death. Consult a doctor before beginning a planned training programme. He can define the maximum exertion (pulse, Watts, duration of training etc.) to which you may expose yourself and can give you precise information on the correct posture during training, the targets of your training and your diet. Never train after eating large meals.8. Only train on the machine when it is in correct working order. Use original spare parts only for any necessary repairs. WARNING! Replace the worm parts immediately and keep this equipment out of use until repaired.9. When setting the adjustable parts, observe the correct position and the marked, maximum setting positions and ensure that the newly adjusted position is correctly secured.10. Unless otherwise described in the instructions, the machine must only be used for training by one person at a time. The exercise time should not overtake 60 min./daily.11. Wear training clothes and shoes which are suitable for fitness training with the machine. Your clothes must be such that they cannot catch dur-ing training due to their shape (e.g. length). Your training shoes should be appropriate for the trainer, must support your feet firmly and must have non-slip soles.

12. WARNING! If you notice a feeling of dizziness, sickness, chest pain or

other abnormal symptoms, stop training and consult a doctor.13. Never forget that sports machines are not toys. They must therefore only be used according to their purpose and by suitably informed and instructed persons. 14. People such as children, invalids and handicapped persons should only use the machine in the presence of another person who can give aid and advice. Take suitable measures to ensure that children never use the machine without supervision.15. Ensure that the person conducting training and other people never move or hold any parts of their body into the vicinity of moving parts.16. At the end of its life span this product is not allowed to dispose over the normal household waste, but it must be given to an assembly point for the recycling of electric and electronic components. You may find the symbol on the product, on the instructions or on the packing. The materials are reusable in accordance with their marking. With the re-use, the material utilization or the protection of our environment. Please ask the local administration for the responsible disposal place.17. To protect the environment, do not dispose of the packaging materials, used batteries or parts of the machine as household waste. Put these in the appropriate collection bins or bring them to a suitable collection point.18. For speed dependent operation mode, the braking resistance level can be adjustable manually and the variations of power will depend on the ped-aling speed. For speed independent operation mode, the user can set the wanted power consumption level in Watt, constant power level will be kept by various braking resistance levels, that will be determined automatically by system. That is independent on the pedaling speed.19. The machine is equipped with 24-step resistance adjustment. This makes it possible to reduce or increase the braking resistance and thereby the training exertion. Pressing the button “-” for the resistance setting towards stage 1 reduces the braking resistance and thereby the training exertion. Pressing the button “+” for the resistance setting towards stage 24 increases the braking resistance and thereby the training exertion.20. The maximum permissible load (=body weight) is specified as 120 kg. This machine has been tested and certified in compliance with EN ISO 20957-1:2013 und EN ISO 20957-5:2016 „H/A“.

RPM and Power in Watt of Level 1- Level 24 for BT 4 Art.-No. 1725 Remarks: 1. The power consumptions (Watt) are adjusted by measuring the driving speed (min-1) of axle and the braking torque (Nm). 2. Your equipment was tested to fulfill the requirements of its accuracy classification before shipment, If you have doubts about the accuracy, please contact with your local retailer or send it to accredited test laboratory to ensure or calibrate it. (Please note that a deviation tolerance as noted on page 15, is permissible.) English24 Computer Instructions The computer on your ERGOMETER is very easy to use. By displaying all functions at the same time, there is no need to switch back and between the individual functions and you are always fully informed about your training process at a glance. This device is a speed-independent device. In order to achieve the performance you want, the computer regulates the resistance independently of the cadence in the watt program (P16). Turn on:

1) Insert the connection plug into the adapter connection socket on the

device. An acoustic signal sounds - all LCD display segments appear for 2 seconds and are set to 00.

2) The power plug is already in the socket / device has automatically

switched off. By pressing any key - or with at least one turn of the pedal - the computer switches itself on. Turn off: As soon as the device is not used for more than approx. 4 minutes, the computer switches off automatically. After finishing the training, pull out the mains plug. KEYS A total of 5 buttons: START / STOP, FUNCTION (F), UP (+), AB (-), and fitness test (TEST). „START / STOP“: Training start or interruption in the selected program. The computer only starts counting when the „START / STOP“ button has been pressed before. If the „START / STOP“ button is pressed for more than 3 seconds, all values are reset to 00:00 in the starting position. „F“: You can switch from one input field to the next with the input and confirmation key (F). The selected function flashes. Enter the values with the +/- key and confirm them by pressing the „F“ key again. At the same time, the flashing display jumps to the next input field. During training, the functions UPM and calories, as well as speed and distance can be displayed permanently or alternately by pressing the F key. „+“ And „-“: Use the +/- buttons to change the values - only flashing values Information can be changed in value. „Test“: With this button you can determine your fitness grade. DISPLAY Program: Display of set program 1-21. (Manual, Progr. 1 - 10 = fitness program; Progr. 11-15 = individual user program; Program 16 = watt program; Progr. 17-20 = pulse program; Progr. 21 = body fat program) Resistance level: Display of the resistance from level 1 - 24. The higher the number, the higher the resistance. The bar graph hat 12 bars available. Each bar shows two values (e.g .: 3 bars are level 5 or 6) You can see the exact value on the LEVEL display. The resistance can be changed in every program (except WATT program P16) by pressing the + and - keys. TIME / WATT: For setting / displaying the time in minutes and seconds up to a maximum of 99:00 minutes. Preselection in minute steps / counting up + down in second steps. In the programs 1 - 20 min. default time is set to 5 minutes. Setting range 5-99 min. The computer precisely measures the performance achieved during training. The performance displayed in watts. Setting range 30-350 watt. In program 16 consider the display of the target value. Display of time and watt alternating automatically. Or permanent by pressing the F key. RPM / SPEED (km /h): Display of pedal revolutions per minute and speed in km / h in automatic change. Or permanent by pressing the F key. DIST (distance KM) / CAL (calories kcal): Display and default for distance and restrictions. The distance can be from

1 - 999 km. Using the average values, the computer calculates the calories

that are displayed in KCal. To convert the binding unit of measurement for energy „Joule“ in the general target specification use this formulas: 1Joule = 0.239 cal, or 1cal = 4.186J. The loss calories consumption can be set from 10 - 990 kcal. The up / down counting takes place in 0.1 steps. Display of distance and approx. calories alternating automatically. Or permament by pressing the F key. KM Total (ODO): The distance in km of all training units is displayed. It is not possible to specify. The OD O display can be reset to zero at any time. To do this, press the F-key and the Start / Stop-key at once for 2 seconds. PULSE (pulse display): The currently measured pulse is displayed here. If an upper heart rate limit is set, the display flashes when the set value is reached. PULSE LIMIT / AGE: Available in programs 17-20. Program 17 - 19 are training programs with calculated max heart rate of 55% / 75% or 95%. As soon as you enter your age, the computer will calculate your max. pulse value that you should never exceed (formula: (220 - age) x 0.80). When this value is reached, the pulse display starts to flash and you should then immediately reduce the speed or the load level. Age setting range: 10-100. In program 20: Display of the individual target heart rate you have specified. Pulse setting range: 60-240 RESISTANCE PROFILE: The desired training duration can be preset in the TIME area. The system divides this preset time into 10 sub-intervals. Each bar on the time axis (horizontal) = 1/10 of the specified time, e.g .: training time = 5 min = each bar is 30 seconds, training time = 10 min = each bar = 1 min. Each of the 10 bars corresponds to such a time interval. The current time bar is indicated by FLASHING. If no time is specified, each time bar means 3 minutes of training, ie after 3 minutes the flashing display jumps from bar 1 to bar 2, etc. up to a total of 30 minutes. If the program is stopped in the meantime with the start / stop button, the Time to continue counting from there after pressing the Start / Stop button again. PEDAL RESISTANCE: You can use the + / - button to adjust the pedal resistance at any time - in all programs, except in the watt program P16. You can see the change in the height of the bar and in the LEVEL display - the higher the bar, the higher the resistance and contrariwise. Each bar segment stands for 3 levels (e.g. 3 segments stand for levels 7, 8 + 9 or 7 segments stand for levels 19, 20 + 21). The selected value is shown on the LEVEL display. The change affects the current and subsequent time position. The height of the bars indicates the load, not a terrain profile. Program sequences are shown graphically on the display. The individual programs run as shown in the bar diagram in the display field, e.g. program 5 = mountain / program 2 = valley etc. (where the bar height = resistance, the time is distributed over the bar width)

• After setting the program, it is essential to press the „START / STOP“ button if you want to start training. In principle, all determined and displayed values are not suitable for medical evaluations.25 English Manual Program Program 6 Interval User Program 12 (U2) Program 18 HRC (75%) Program 1 Rolling Program 7 Cardio User Program 13 (U3) Program 19 HRC (95%) Program 2 Valley Program 8 Endurance User Program 14 (U4) Program 20 HRC Program 3 Fatburn Program 9 Slope User Program 15 (U5) Program 21 Body Fat Program 4 Ramp Program 10 Rally Watt Program 16 Program 5 Mountain User Program 11 (U1) Program 17 HRC (55%) Gender/Age Underweight Healthy Slightly Overweight Overweight Obese Male/ ≤ 30 < 14% 14%~20% 20.1%~25% 25.1%~35% > 35% Male/ > 30 < 17% 17%~23% 23.1%~28% 28.1%~38% > 38% Female/≤ 30 < 17% 17%~24% 24.1%~30% 30.1%~40% > 40% Female/ > 30 < 20% 20%~27% 27.1%~33% 33.1%~43% > 43% Remark:

Programs 1 - 10: Fitness Various training programs are given here. If one of these programs is selected, the program runs automatically and includes various intervals. The division is made in difficulty levels and in time intervals. However, you can intervene in the program at any time to change the pedaling resistance or the duration. In addition, there is a corresponding bar display in the display field. Setting of the training parameters time / distance / calories / upper pulse limit by pressing the F key. Program 11-15: individual training programs Here you can enter and train your various resistance profiles (U1-U5). Setting of the training parameters time / distance / calories / upper pulse limit by pressing the F key. Program 16: Watt program Here you can enter your individual watt specification. The pedaling resistance is automatically adjusted within a certain tolerance range by the computer, regardless of the pedaling frequency, so that you are always in the specified zone. Setting of the training parameters time / distance / calories / upper pulse limit by pressing the F key. Program 17 - 19: Here the computer automatically calculates your maximum heart rate after entering your age and, depending on the program, the corresponding training target heart rate will be adjusted to 55% / 75% or 95%.This target value is displayed. The pedaling resistance is automatically adjusted by the computer in order to stay at this target frequency. Program 20: Target training heart rate THF Here you can specify your optimal training pulse rate THF. The pedal resistance is within a certain tolerance range automatically readjusted by the computer so that you are always in the specified pulse zone. Program 21: Body Fat Program Here you can get a body fat analysis and get exercise suggestion. Use the F key to access the different data (user no.) = 1-8, height = 120-250 cm, gender = male / female, age = 10-99 years, weight = 20 -200kg) one after the other and set them to your data using the +/- buttons. Then press the Start / Stop key and grab the hand pulse sensors to measure your body fat. After about 10 seconds, the deisplay show body your fat in%, BMI and BMR as well as a suggested exercise program. Press start/stop key to exit body fat test and press again to start exercising this program. Body fat table26 Cleaning, Checks and Storage of the Ergometer bike:

Use only a less wet cloth for cleaning. Caution: Never use benzene, thinner or other aggressive cleaning agents for surface cleaning as this damage caused. The device is only for private home use and for use suitable indoors. Keep the unit clean and moisture from the device.

Plug out the power supply unit while intending the unit for more than 4 weeks not to use. Push the saddle slide toward the handlebar and the seat support tube as deeply as possible into the frame. Choose a dry storage in-house and put some spray oil to the pedal bearings left and right, to the thread of the handlebar bolt, and on the thread of the quick release for saddle support. Cover the bike to protect it from being discolor by any sunlight and dirty through dust.

We recommend every 50 hours to review the screw connections for tightness, which were prepared in the assembly. Every 100 operating hours, you should put some spray oil at the pedal bearings left and right, to the thread of the handlebar bolt and to the thread of quick release for saddle support. Troubleshooting If you cannot solve the problem with the following information, please contact the authorized service center. Problem Possible Cause Solution Computer has no value at Dis- play if you press any key. No power adapter is well plugged or wall power is without power. Check that the power adapter is properly plugged in, possibly with another electric device check if the wall power is fine. Computer is not counting data and do not switch on after start cycling. Sensor impulse missing base on not well plugged connection Check the plug connections at computer and inside of handle- bar support. Computer is not counting data and do not switch on after start cycling. Sensor impulse missing base on not correct posi- tion of sensor. Take off the cover and check the distance between magnet and Sensor. The magnet at turning belt wheel should have only less than < 5mm distance against the sensor position.

FITNESS NOTE / RECOVERY PULSE FUNCTION

Your ergometer offers the option of evaluating your individual fitness in the form of a „fitness grade“. The measuring principle is based on the fact that in healthy, well-trained people, the pulse rate drops faster within a certain period of time after training than in healthy, less well-trained people. To determine the fitness level, the difference between the pulse rate at the end of the training (start pulse) and the pulse rate one minute after the end of the training (end pulse) is used. Do not start this function until you have trained for some time. Before starting the recovery pulse function, you must have your current pulse rate displayed by placing your hands on the hand pulse sensors.

1. Press the „Test“ button and then place both hands on the sensors to

measure your heart rate.

2. The computer goes into STOP mode, a large heart symbol is shown in

the middle of the display and the automatic recovery pulse measurement is initiated.

3. The time in the display starts counting down at 0:60

4. The start pulse at the beginning of the measurement is shown in the

display. It is the average of the four highest heart rate values in the last 20 sec. before pressing the fitness button.

5. The currently measured pulse value is displayed in the „Pulse“ field.

6. After one minute has elapsed, the time is reduced to 0:00 and an acoustic

signal sounds. The end pulse at the time 0:00 is displayed in the „Pulse“ field. You can now take your hands off the heart rate sensors. After a few seconds, your fitness grade from F 1.0 - F 6.0 (school grade system) appears in the middle of the display.27 Training instructions You must consider the following factors in determining the amount of training effort required in order to attain tangible physical and health benefits:

The level of physical exertion in training must exceed the level of normal exertion without reaching the point of breathlessness and / or exhaustion. A suitable guideline for effective training can be taken from the pulse rate. During training this should rise to the region of between 70% to 85% of the maximum pulse rate (see the table and formular for determination and calculation of this). During the first weeks, the pulse rate should remain at the lower end of this region, at around 70% of the maximum pulse rate. In the course of the follo- wing weeks and months, the pulse rate should be slowly raised to the upper limit of 85% of the maximum pulse rate. The better the physical condition of the person doing the exercise, the more the level of training should be encreased to remain in the region of between 70% to 85% of the maximum pulse rate. This should be done by lengthening the time for the training and / or encreasing the level of difficulty. If the pulse rate is not shown on the computer display or if for safety reasons you wish to check your pulse rate, which could have been displayed wrongly due to error in use, etc., you can do the following: a. Pulse rate measurement in the conventional way (feeling the pulse at the wrist, for example, and counting the number of beats in one minute). b. Pulse rate measurement with a suitable specialised device (available from dealers specialising in health-related equipment). 2.Frequency Most experts recommend a combination of health-conscious nutrition, which must be determined on the basis of your training goal, and physical training three times a week. A normal adult must train twice a week to maintain his current level of condition. At least three training sessions a week are required to improve one’s condition and reduce one’s weight. Of course the ideal frequency of training is five sessions a week.

3. Planning the training

Each training session should consist of three phases: the warm-up phase, the training phase, and the cool-down phase. The body temperature and oxygen intake should be raised slowly in the warm-up phase. This can be done with gymnastic exercises lasting five to ten minutes. Then the actual training (training phase) should begin. The training exertion should be relatively low for the first few minutes and then raised over a period of 15 to 30 minutes such that the pulse rate reaches the region of between 70% to 85% of the maximum pulse rate. In order to support the circulation after the training phase and to prevent aching or strained muscles later, it is necessary to follow the training phase with a cool-down phase. This should be consist of stretching exercises and / or light gymnastic exercises for a period of five to ten minutes. Calculation formula: Maximum pulse rate = 220 - age (220 minus your age) 90% of the maximum pulse rate = (220 - age) x 0.9 85% of the maximum pulse rate = (220 - age) x 0.85 70% of the maximum pulse rate = (220 - age) x 0.7 Warm up exercises (Warm Up) Start your warm up by walking on the spot for at least 3 minutes and then perform the following gymnastic exercises to the body for the training phase to prepare accordingly. The exercises do not overdo it and only as far run until a slight drag felt. This position will hold a while. Reach with your left hand behind your head to the right shoulder and pull with the right hand slightly to the left elbow. After 20sec. switch arm. Bend forward as far forward as possible and let your legs almost stretched. Show it with your fingers in the direction of toe. 2 x 20sec. Sit down with one leg stretched out on the floor and bend forward and try to reach the foot with your hands. 2 x 20sec. Kneel in a wide lunge for- ward and support yourself with your hands on the floor. Press the pelvis down. Change after 20 sec leg. After the warm-up exercises by some arms and legs shake loose. Don’t finish the exercise phase abruptly, but will cycle leisurely something without resistance from to return to the normal pulse-zone. (Cool down) We re- commend the warm-up exercises at the end of the training be conducted and to end your workout with shaking of the extremities. You find further information on the subject warm-up exercises, stretch exer- cises or general gymnastics exercises in our download area under www. christopeit-sport.com

The key to a successful program is regular training. You should set a fixed time and place for each day of training and prepare yourself mentally for the training. Only train when you are in the mood for it and always have your goal in view. With continuous training you will be able to see how you are progres- sing day by day and are approaching your personal training goal bit by bit. English28
