Please read through this section before proceeding to operate your Cat eye Ergociser.
For your safety, you are kindly requested to observe the following:
WARNING!!!
CAUTION
• The pulse (earlobe) sensor should always be used with the correct
age setting. This allows the upper pulse limit alarm to issue a
warning when your heart rate has unusually increased.
• Be sure to remove pulse sensor cord by holding the plug instead
of pulling it by holding the cord.
• Before using the EC-L3200, it is impor-
tant to consult a medical specialist if you
are suffering from any of the following:
heart disease (angina pectoris, myocar-
dial infraction), hypertension, diabetes,
respiratory disease (asthma, chronic
bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, etc.),
articular metamorphosis, rheumatism,
gout, or any other disease and physical
complaints.
• Do not use this unit in areas where there are a lot of spray prod-
ucts or inflammable substance.
• Do not use this unit with the ventilation hole, etc. covered.
• Do not let substance fall or insert into the openings of the unit.
As otherwise, it may result in failures of the unit.
• Do not disassemble the main unit or the control unit. Consult the
dealer you purchased the unit from, in case of trouble.
• Avoid using or storing the unit outdoors or in areas where it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
• If you are not used to regular physical ac-
tivities, it may be dangerous to suddenly
start strenuous exercise. Try to increase
your exercise level gradually and always
avoid careless exertion.
• Do not use the unit in areas where temperature and humidity are
high.
• Avoid using the unit in other manners than stated in this manual.
• Do not use the unit whenever it does not operate normally, it is
dropped or damaged, or when it is wet. When such events have
occurred, contact our authorized dealer in your location.
• Do not wipe the unit with organic solvents such as thinner, kero-
sene, gasoline or alcohol. Wipe it clean with a cloth with neutral
cleanser, and wipe with a dry cloth.
• If you feel sick or sense something is

PULSE RATE (bpm)
Target Pulse rate Chart
200
Do you often get out of your breath when you go up stairs or walk fast? This is because
your ability to take oxygen into your body is getting weak. Such ability is evaluated by a
value called MOU (Maximum Oxygen Uptake), which represents the maximum amount
of oxygen taken into your body per 1 kg of body-weight in a minute (ml/kg.min.). The
MOU value can be used as a scale of your physical endurance.
Maximum Heart Rate
Maximum pulse limit (220-Age)
When you exercise, your heart rate continues to increase as the exercise level be-
comes more intense, but there is a certain limit. This limit is called the maximum
heart rate. The maximum heart rate decreases as you become older. The decre-
ment ratio in the maximum heart rate differs individually, depending on whether one
is physically well trained or not. In general, the maximum heart rate decreases yearly
by 0.6-1.0 beats per minute.
180
160
140
120
The average MOU value is 40-50 ml/kg.min. for men in their twenties, and 30-40 ml/
kg.min. for women of the same age. In general, the MOU value becomes less as you
get older, and the more you lack proper exercise, the faster it decreases. It is said the
MOU value less than 22 ml/kg.min. may result in illness of cardiovascular system, and
in restriction of your daily life.
Maximum pulse limit x 85%
The heart rate is the number of heart beats per minute measured by a cardiograph.
However, we can measure the pulse by touching the arteries near the skin, such as
carotid arteries; which is called the pulse rate.
Upper pulse limit (200-Age)
Continued aerobic exercise several times per week maintains and improves your MOU
value, activating oxygen supply to your cardiovascular system. With the EC-L3200,
you can perform aerobic exercise effectively and efficiently.
At the earlobe, blood flow fluctuates with each beat of the heart, and the optical
permeability through the earlobe changes every time the heart beats. The EC-L3200
measures the pulse rate with the sensor, amplifying the changes of optical perme-
ability. An earlobe is a suitable part for sensing the pulse rate during the physical
exercise since its muscular movement during exercise is very little and doesn't affect
the pulse rate detection.

Maximum pulse limit x 60%

2. Exercise Program
Aerobic exercise will be more effective when it is continued at a certain pulse rate, which is
determined based on your age and physical strength. This is called "Target Pulse Rate".
Targ
e
The heart rate and the pulse rate differ from each other in principle and method, but
their value per minute is equal, and therefore both can be interpreted as synonymous.
How to decide your target pulse rate
–
Age)
100
90
When you input your age, the EC-L3200 automatically sets your target pulse rate at
[160 – age]. This target pulse rate corresponds to 50-60 % of the exercise level for the
twenties, 40-50 % for the sixties. (Refer to "Exercise Level" on page 17.) The older you
are, at the less intense level your target pulse rate is set because of such programming
of the EC-L3200. The exercise level automatically set by this unit could be too hard
even for a young person, if he is a beginner. If you feel it too hard, you may decrease
the target pulse rate by 10 bpm from the original level. If you feel too easy, you may
increase it by 10 bpm so that you can continue exercise in the appropriate target zone
as illustrated. If you can continue your exercise at the target pulse rate of [180 – age],
your exercise can be considered as effective enough. Upgrade your exercise gradu-
ally so that you can reach the suggested final target of [190 – age].
Upper-Limit Pulse Rate (PLL)
The maximum pulse rate is related with the age, and is calculated by standard formu-
las such as [220 – age] or [204 – 0.69 x age]. In the EC-L3200, it is calculated as [200
– age] and called the upper-limit pulse rate (PLL), which is lower than the standard
formula of the maximum pulse rate and gives you a safer upper-limit pulse rate. When
your pulse rate exceeds the preset upper-limit pulse rate, a buzzer beeps to warn you.
You can adjust the upper-limit pulse rate according to your physical condition.

Target Pulse Rate (TPL)
A pulse rate to be maintained during the exercise is called the target pulse rate
(TPL). When your pulse rate is more than 5 bpm over or under the target pulse rate
which you set before the exercise, a buzzer beeps to signal you.
Exercise Time for Each Session
Exercise Level
A minimum of 30 minutes exercise is necessary for each session of exercise. A 5
minute warm up period, and 20 minutes of exercise time, with a 5 minute cool down
period, is suggested as a standard exercise. For weight reducing exercise, over 30
minutes exercise time at the low level of the target pulse rate is recommended with a
5 minute cool down.
Since the pulse rate gets higher according to the intensity of exercise, the exercise
level can be indicated by how high your pulse rate is compared with your pulse rate
at rest. It is shown by percentage as follows:
Pulse Rate in exercise – Pulse Rate at rest
Maximum Heart Rate – Pulse Rate at rest
Exercise Level (%) =
x 100
How many days a week for exercise
Therefore, the target pulse rate for a certain exercise level can be obtained through
the following formula:
Minimum two exercise days a week is required just to maintain your present fitness
level. With 3-4 exercise days you can expect improvement. Always consult with your
doctor before proceeding with any exercise program.
Target Pulse rate = (Maximum Heart Rate – Pulse Rate at rest)

+ Pulse Rate at rest

Caution:
Concentrated and repeated exercise in a day may produce an adverse result.
