2. PULSE MEASUREMENT ::
3. USER INTERFACE ::
You can buy the ear sensor needed for pulse measurement from your
Tunturi dealer or importer as an accessory.
Measure your pulse as follows:
3.1
1.
Open the cover at the back of Alpha 150 and pushing the ear
sensor connector into the interface connector. Lead the ear sensor
wire out through the hole between the cover and the box, and
close the cover.
2.
3.
Attach the ear sensor to the earlobe.
Attach the sensor wire to your shirt with the clip provided. This
prevents the sensor and wire from moving.

3.1 FUNCTION KEYS
MODE includes constant resistance, constant effort and constant heart-
rate workouts. The user interface automatically starts from the constant
resistance workout. Use the operation key SET to make settings
and adjustments to the user interface options. PROG includes pre-
programmed exercise profiles, memory positions for your self-designed
exercise profiles and measurement of recovery pulse.
If there are problems in pulse measurement:
::
::
Check how the sensor works while not pedalling.
A disturbance may be caused by the physiological properties of the
earlobe. Try measuring on the inside surface of the ear or on
the tip of your finger.
3.2 REC AND OK
::
::
Rub the earlobe with your fingers to quicken circulation.
If pulse values rise above 150 beats/min., earlobe measurement
may be affected by the faster circulation.
Sometimes a strong light source in the immediate vicinity of
the user may cause disturbances.
Use the Rec key to save your own workouts. Press Rec before beginning
the workout you wish to save. Press OK to confirm.
::
3.3 RESET
Press the Reset key for more than one second to display the cumulative
values. Pressing Reset always resets the value on the display.
Please clean the ear sensor after use with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents.
3.4 SETTING KEYS -/+
NOTE! Always detach the ear sensor connector from the user interface
when you use the heart-rate belt. The ear sensor disturbs heart-rate
measurement.
Use the setting keys (-/+) to adjust resistance, effort and heart rate for
the workout.

4. MAIN DISPLAY ::
5. FUNCTIONS ::
When you turn the user interface on, the display shows the following
exercise parameters:
5.1 ADJUSTING RESISTANCE
Resistance in constant resistance workouts is adjusted with the - / + keys.
The text SET and setting value are displayed when you adjust resistance.
The meter returns to the main display 2 seconds after setting the value.
1.
::
Efficiency (W)
Figure indicates exercise efficiency in Watts, which depends on
pedalling speed and resistance adjustment.
5.2 RESET
2.
Energy consumption (kcal / kJ)
Displays cumulative energy consumption (0-999); default setting
is kcal.
::
Press RESET to reset the values on the display. Cumulative training
values are displayed by pressing RESET for more than one second. They
remain on the display for as long as the key is pressed.
3.
::
Speed (rpm / km/h / mph)
Default setting is rpm (pedal revolutions / minute).
5.3 MODE
4.
::
Pulse
MODE includes constant resistance, constant effort and constant heart-
rate workouts. In all workouts, one parameter is set as a constant,
after which your exercise equipment automatically maintains the
level. Constant heat-rate exercise requires your using the heart-rate
measurement system.
Heart rate transmitter belt or an ear sensor is required.
If the user interface does not receive a heart-rate signal, - - is
displayed instead of the heart rate.
::
NOTE! Always disconnect the ear sensor from the user interface if using
a heart rate transmitter belt; the ear sensor will interfere with the heart
rate transmitter.
1.
::
Press MODE key to select the workout.
Resistance = constant resistance exercise at the same resistance level
throughout. Faster pedalling means an increase in effort.
Watt = constant effort exercise; the interface adjusts resistance
automatically so the training effort set, e.g. 100 W, remains the
same independent of pedalling rate.
5.
::
Time
::
Displays the exercise time elapsed between 0:00 - 59:59 minutes
and between 1:00 - 10:00 hours in 1 minute increments.
Time display stops if speed falls to zero.
::
::
Pulse = constant heart-rate exercise; the interface adjusts effort
automatically and keeps your heart-rate at the desired level, e.g.
120 beats per minute, independent of pedalling rate.
6.
::
::
Distance (km / miles)
Default display setting is km.
Displays the distance travelled during the workout in km (or
miles) to two decimal points up to 9.99 km (or miles) and with
one decimal point up to 99.9.
2.
Set the target level with the - /+ keys. You can adjust the target
level with the - / + keys during the workout whereupon the text
SET and the setting value (Nm, W, heart rate) are displayed. The
meter returns to the main display 2 seconds after setting the target
value.

5.4 PROG
5.5 RECOVERY
PROG includes pre-programmed exercise profiles, memory positions for
self-designed profiles and measuring recovery pulse. The resistance level
varies in a pre-determined way and has three options: Health = fitness
improvement, Slim = weight control, Fit = profile designed for the
physically fit. The level of difficulty of the selected profile can be scaled
from 1 to 9. Level 1 is the easiest and longest and level 9 the most
challenging and shortest. A full description of the profiles is given at the
end of these instructions.
Measure your recovery pulse rate at the end of the workout. To measure
recovery pulse rate press PROG until the text “Recovery” appears on the
display. Press OK to confirm.
::
The measurement of recovery pulse takes two minutes, during
which time the current heart rate is displayed. During measuring
the text “Recovery” flashes on the display.
At the end of the measurement period the recovery ratio
percentage is displayed. The smaller the reading the fitter you are.
Note that results are individual and not directly comparable with
those of others.
::
Pre-programmed profiles (Health, Slim, Fit)
1.

3.
Press PROG until the desired profile (Health, Slim, Fit) appears
on the display. Press OK to confirm.
NOTE! If there is a problem in pulse measurement, the display will
show - - instead of the heart rate, and measurement of recovery pulse
will automatically restart when the user interface once again receives a
heart-rate signal.
Use the - / + keys to select the level (Level 1-9). Press OK to
confirm.
Start pedalling to begin the workout.
::
Press OK to move from recovery pulse measurement to the
main display. The main display will appear automatically 1 minute
after the measurement.
Designing your own exercise profiles
You can save three self-designed exercise profiles. Although the profile can
be any of the MODE programs (Resistance, Watt, Pulse), the program
cannot be changed during saving. A total of 30 changes can be saved in
each profile. There is no time limit in the profiles.
5.6 PAUSE
When the user interface has not been used for three minutes (no heart
rate registered, no keys pressed, no pedalling), it automatically switches
itself to energy-saver state. The interface is returned to its active state by
pressing any key, starting to pedal or sending heart-rate signals to the
unit. The values in a workout that has been interrupted are saved in
the memory of the user interface for 10 minutes, after which they are
reset. The values on the display are always reset when the RESET key
is pressed.
1.
Press REC to start saving your self-designed workout. During
saving the text REC is displayed. Press OK after completing your
profile. The text REC on the display is cleared and replaced by
memory position “User 1”. The flashing numeric value indicates
that a profile has already been saved in the memory position.
Previous profiles can be replaced by new ones, or use the - / + keys
to move to other memory positions (User 1, 2, 3). Press OK to
save the profile in the desired memory position.
2.
3.
To use a self-designed exercise profile press PROG until User
appears on the display. Use the - / + keys to select a memory
position (User 1, 2, 3). If the memory position is empty the
reading 0:00 is displayed. Press OK to confirm your choice.
Start pedalling to begin the workout.
