939 novo

Congratulations on your new Ergometer! Monark 939 novo is designed to perform stress tests when connected to an ECG device. When connected to a PC or terminal, the bike can be used to perform Max and SubMax cardiovascular tests, calculate VO2 capacity and more. The bike can also be used for normal exercise. Each 939 novo is calibrated at the factory. This means that you can begin to use the ergometer directly after assembly. But as usual when the bike has been moved, an electronic calibration must be done, see instruction for “Calibration” in this manual.

Initial operation

Cycle adjustments

Each 939 novo is mechanically calibrated at the factory. The user can always verify this by performing the mechanical calibration of the pendulum. See section ”Mechanical calibration”.

The seat height should be adjusted to a comfortable position. The appropriate height is when you have the knee slightly bent when the sole of the foot is centred over the pedal axle with the pedal in the bottom position. When adjusting the saddle height, do not sit on the saddle, stand next to the bike. Loosen the locking knob (1) on the seat post by rotating it about one turn counterclockwise and pull it out. Adjust the seat height, and when you have found the right height it is important that you tighten the locking knob securely (clockwise until it stops). See Fig: Adjustments.

Connect power to the bike by first connecting the cable from the power adaptor to the bike into the power connector (2) in the front of the bike, see Fig: Connections. Then plug the power adaptor into the wall outlet. Turn on the power switch (4) and a green LED lights up. Perform the electrical calibration as specified in section "Calibration electronics”. Test by pedalling the bike. If the bike is working properly, it is ready for use.

The handlebar setting should be in a comfortable position when cycling. During longer exercise sessions it is recommended to occasionally change handlebar position. To adjust the handlebar, loosen the quick release lever (2). See Fig: Adjustments.

Operating instruction

Power on crank or flywheel

Here you find 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.

How the bike works 939 novo is built on a stable frame, a large wellbalanced flywheel, a break belt and a pendulum weight which measures the force. The pedals operate around the flywheel via a chain, while a stretch mechanism tightens the brake belt to regulate the braking force to affect the flywheel. This braking force can be read directly by the pendulum on the scale on the left side of the bike. All changes in the friction between the brake belt and the flywheel are compensated automatically by Monark's unique construction. New on 939 novo is that you can control the bike from the display but the bike can, as earlier models, even be controlled externally from PC or other equipment. The display functions are described in section "Monark novo Display Unit". The computer system consists of Monark novo Control Unit (built in the bike) and Monark novo Display Unit, PC or other external equipment. Monark novo Control Unit registers pedal speed and braking force, and also registers the test person's heart rate if a chest belt or similar is used. Monark novo Control Unit activates an actuator that adjusts the brake belt tension, which regulates the work load. This work load is varied automatically in relation to changes in pedal speed, so that a constant power is maintained. The bike is standard rpm independent but can be set to also be rpm dependent (constant force).

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 %). The losses will be primarily due to friction in the chain, pedals and bearings in the wheels and crank. 939 novo is designed for fitness tests and are set to measure the power at the flywheel, which is the traditional way in submaximal exercise. The bike can be set to work with effect in the pedals / crankshaft (the cycle constant).

Pulse measurement The person's heart rate ("pulse") can be measured by a chest belt or similar heart rate monitor that register the pulse signal from your heart and sends it to the bike with ANT+ or Bluetooth SMART technology. More information is available in section "Monark novo Display Unit". The heart rate can be displayed in Monark novo Display Unit, in Monark test software or in other external equipment.

If you use chest belt Heart rate monitoring requires that the chest belt is correctly placed. When it is correctly fitted the logo on the belt will be central and readable, outward and upright, by another person. Before putting on the belt, clean the skin where the belt is to be placed. 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.

The control is performed over a serial line using ANSI/ISO/ASCII format commands. The connector is a 9-stick D-sub (male). For information about how respective Control Units work, see section "Connection to external Control Unit".

Daily check

Checking the pulse function

The following procedure will assure the user that the ergometer is performing properly on a daily basis. The control includes test of the mechanical braking, pedalling and speed systems as well as computer control and sensing capability of the mechanical system. Additionally, if a calibrated ECG simulator is available, it may be used to verify the heart rate measuring system. Whether the simulator is used or not, the heart rate system may be validated by simply taking a pulse point rate measurement at the neck for example. While a patient is at rest and has been prepared for chest belt or other heart rate monitor, the pulse indicator flashes once per pulse beat. The flashing heart rate must be consistent with the manually recorded pulse. If it does not correspond, check the chest belt contact area and moisten if necessary the electrode surfaces with water. If this fails, please call customer service.

The heart rate can be displayed in Monark novo Display Unit, in Monark test software or in other external equipment. While the patient rests, with the heart rate monitor on, compare the displayed heart rate (Monark novo Display Unit, PC or other) with the manually taken pulse. If it does not correspond, check the chest belt contact area and if necessary moisten the electrode surfaces with water.

Validation of force Start Monark test software in your PC (the software 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).

The following points should also be checked to ensure the bike's function:

1. With the pendulum pointer at 0, the display should read "00N".

•

Check the adjustment / zero of the scale

•

Check the pulse function

2. Move the pendulum pointer to 4 kp and the display should show "39N".

•

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. Adjust if necessary.

•

Adjust the handlebar and saddle and make sure they are securely attached and that the adjustment is working properly.

•

Make sure the support legs are in position by rocking the bike. Tighten if necessary.

If something unusual is found during the daily inspection that you cannot resolve, please call customer service.

If the braking force is not displayed correctly, an calibration of the pendulum must be done. See section "Calibration". NOTE! After this verification, the brake belt will be loose. This means that it will take some seconds before the regulating device has tensed the brake belt to normal again after you have started pedalling. If it then heavy to pedal, add force on the pedals and the bike will decrease the workload until it is possible to pedal around. 1

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. The bike do not need to be switched off when connecting external components, but it is recommended, to prevent transmission of incorrect data. Be careful when connecting different types of external devices to prevent flash-over and subsequent injury. The user must ensure that the correct cables are used, otherwise you risk serious injury or equipment damage. Connect external device via RS232 Make sure the power adaptor is connected to the bike. Turn off the power switch on the bike.

1

Connect the RS232 cable to the port on the bike, see Fig: Connections. Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to the external device. Set the bike power switch to "on" and then start the external device. Connect external device via USB Make sure the power adaptor is connected to the bike. Turn off the power switch on the bike. Connect the USB-B cable to the port on the bike, see Fig: Connections. Connect the other end of the cable to the external device. Set the bike power switch to "on" and then start the external device.

Communication protocol (command type) 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:

All commands for external devices are active regardless of the command type that is selected in addition to the small differences presented above. The parts in Ergoline protocol that handle blood pressure and its parameters are not implemented. The two free ports can have different settings.

0: Standard command set or ”PC-mode” Command type "0" is default for both of the free ports. As default the baud is 4800, but can be changed by external control. The protocol is used by Monark Exercise software and some external controllers that are prepared to fully benefit from the advanced capabilities of the bike. 2: Ergoline compatible (recommended for ”er900”) This command type is used when the bike is controlled by an external device that uses Ergoline's "er900" protocol, baud rate is locked to 4800. If the external device "asks" the bike about current power, the bike responds with the set power. This setting is recommended before the command type 3 which removes the risk of the device trying to "chase" a value.

When connecting to multiple devices, it is important to ensure that one device does not sets a new target without the other devices note it (master - slave). NOTE! The bike can not be controlled by the handheld controller (Art. No.: 9339-51) used on previous models.

3: Ergoline compatible (alternative) This command type is used when the bike is controlled by an external device that uses Ergoline's "er900" protocol, baud rate is locked to 4800. If the external device "asks" the bike about current power, the bike responds with the set power. 4: 839 compatible This command type is very similar to command type "0", the only difference is that if an external device requests the ID, the bike responds as if it was an 839bike of newer model. The setting is used for older external Control Units that are not yet adapted to Monark novo series ("backwards compatible").

Command type settings

Use the following commands:

Default for the two free ports is command type 0, which will work in most cases. If you need to change you can do it in settings in terminal mode in the Monark Exercise software.

•

cmdtypers232 # and press ENTER to set the RS232 port to the command type #, where # is 0, 2, 3 or 4

•

cmdtypeusb # and press ENTER to set the USB port to the command type #, where # is 0, 2, 3 or 4

If you only send the command cmdtypers232 alternatively cmdtypeusb without digit, the bike responds with the current command type (0, 2, 3 or 4) for the connection.

Bike answer

When power is turned on to the bike it 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. 0 - A long beep

Fig: Terminal window

Command line

2 - A long beep followed by two short beeps 3 - A long beep followed by three short beeps

Ensure that you are connected to the bike. Type ping in the command line in the window. Then the bike beep once and answer pong in the text window above the command line, see Fig: Terminal window.

4 - A long beep followed by four short beeps

You can set the command type for both ports regardless of which port the bike is connected to.

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.

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". You can choose to actively lock the heart rate monitor by pressing "Lock". Then the bike is only searching for that particular heart rate monitor. Press "Reset" if you want to release the lock to only a specific heart rate monitor and lock with a new or continue to search freely. You can use several Bluetooth SMART heart rate monitors to the bike, but you can only lock to one at a time. The bike locks to the heart rate monitor that it finds first (within 10 m). If more heart rate monitors are used, we therefore recommended to lock into a specific Bluetooth ID to ensure that the correct heart rate appears.

If you use chest belt Heart rate registration requires that the heart rate monitor is positioned correctly. When it is correctly fitted the logo on the belt will be central and readable, outward and upright, by another person. Before putting on the belt, clean the skin where the belt is to be placed. 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! (for Bluetooth SMART) 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! Fig: Placement chest belt

ANT+ (ANT+ is always active) ANT+ uses "proximity pairing" which means that you should be close to the display for it to start listening to it. When the display and the heart rate monitor is paired, you can be relatively far from the bike with retained function. This process ensures that the display is listening on the correct belt. If you have connected to an ANT+ heart rate monitor it says "connected" at "ANT+ status:" and the current heart rate is displayed at "Pulse".

Connect Bluetooth SMART heart rate monitor The bike has a module that can connect to the Bluetooth SMART compatible heart rate belts or similar equipment 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). Connection to heart rate monitor with solitary bike (pulse mode 2) STANDARD This works when you only have one bike with Bluetooth SMART and other monitors with this standard within the receiver range, normally 10-15 m.

Connection to heart rate monitor with several bikes (pulse mode 3) In a room with several bikes or other equipments that also use Bluetooth SMART heart rate monitors, every bike should be locked to a specific heart rate monitor so you have control of which is connected to which bike. This can be done in Monark novo Display Unit or in Monark test software or similar. Open the terminal window. Ensure that you are connected to the bike. Type ping in the command line in the window and press Enter. Then the bike beep once and answer pong in the text window above the command line, see Fig: Terminal window.

The bike is set by default to automatically connect temporarily with the first active heart rate monitor with Bluetooth SMART technology that comes within the range. The bike is paired with this monitor until the signal is dropped. Heart rate monitors tend to stop transmitting within 30 seconds to two minutes from the time they lose pulse contact or have been taken off. As soon as a signal is dropped, the bike begins to search for another heart rate monitor (new or old). You can use several heart rate monitors on the same bike but it may only activate one monitor at a time (within range).

Bike answer

NOTE! Electromagnetic waves can interfere with pulse function when wireless chest belt or similar is used. Cellular phones or similar are not allowed to be used near the bike during test. In case of problems, turn off WiFi, Bluetooth and similar on computers nearby.
