Putting the Lode Excalibur Ergometer Into Service
Every time you turn on the ergometer, the TERMINAL option must be
selected in the ergometer menu and confirmed with Enter. Then the
display will show the workload and pedal speed. THEN start the system.
Otherwise an error message will appear, saying "No communication with
ergometer/treadmill".
Putting the EC 1200 Ergometer Into Service
The EC 1200 bicycle ergometer only supports graded phases. When first
activating the Protocol Editor, a single line will be displayed for
Basic Load
Load Increase
Stage Time
Number of Stages
ECG Recording Interval, and
BP Interval
for each phase.
Basic Load is the load level at the beginning of a phase. When the Stage
Time has elapsed, the next stage begins and the load increases by the
value entered at Load Increase.
At Number of Stages you enter the number of stages for a phase. The
configured ECG Recording Interval and BP Interval ensure that ECG
recordings and BP measurements are initiated at the appropriate point
in time before the end of a stage. The first ECG recording and BP
measurement are fixed and cannot be changed. Enter a minimum value
of 10 seconds for the ECG Recording Interval and of 1 minute for the BP
Interval. The ECG Recording Interval and the BP Interval will be
maintained until the end of the phase. These values can thus be set
independently of the Stage Time. Each time the program advances to the
next stage both intervals are reset to synchronize them with the new
stage.
A BP Interval must be entered in the pretest phase to take a blood
pressure measurement before the test. Since no further BP
measurements are required in pretest, the default BP Interval is 99
minutes. If you do not want to take a pretest BP measurement, change
this value to 00:00:00.
A BP monitor connected directly to the EC 1200 will take the blood
pressure at the beginning of each phase.
The arrow buttons W+ and W– change the load setting to the value of the
next or previous stage. All other protocol parameters remain unchanged.
The load for subsequent stages increases accordingly.
