Setting a Resistance Range (C846i)
You can set a low, medium or high range of resistance on the C846i
cycle. Within each group, 25 resistance settings are available, but
the chosen group affects the overall resistance range.
An example of where you might use this programming feature is
physical therapy conditioning. If a user has an injury that needs low
levels of resistance, you might set the resistance range to low to
help ensure that the user does not induce further injury by exceeding
your recommended levels of resistance. The following table provides
short description of each group.
9. At the SET RESISTANCE RANGE prompt, use an arrow key to
choose LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.
10. When you are ready, press ENTER to save your changes and
move to the next program. If you prefer to exit the program
without saving your changes, press RESET.
Setting Description
HIGH provides the full range of resistance available. If an
upright cycle user chooses the high-end resistance
levels, the cycle provides enough resistance to simulate
sprinting or hill climbing for users wishing to stand on
the upright cycle. It also provides enough resistance for
elite riders that are capable of spinning at high speed
with high resistance.
MEDIUM provides approximately two thirds of the resistance that
is available within the HIGH group setting. Club owners
may want to select the MEDIUM range for recumbent
cycles. Since users cannot stand on recumbent cycles,
less resistance is needed by the average (non-elite)
user. A MEDIUM range may provide more comfort. It
also allows users to make easier resistance changes in
the preset programs (HILL CLIMB and CROSS
COUNTRY).
LOW provides approximately one third of the resistance that is
available within the HIGH group setting. The LOW
range may be appropriate in special situations where
poorly conditioned users are anticipated. The LOW
range is not recommended for the club environment.
