Remote Operation

6.3.1

Explanation

Remote operation means that the ergometer is externally controlled via the digital RS-232
interface or USB connector, i.e. all commands for the level of exertion are transmitted from a
separate "master unit".
This type of operation is used primarily when several ergometers are controlled from a central
workstation, the ECG device has its own ergometry-control program and the ergometer and
ECG unit – and possibly other devices such as spirometry devices – can be combined to form an
ergometry or spirometry station.
6.3.2

Prerequisites

When the remote operation mode is selected, the unit used (an ECG device or a PC) must be
connected with the ergometer via an interface cable. For our ergometers, this is a type RS-232
interface, which is isolated to ensure the patient's safety.
The appropriate baud rate must be selected in the program "Setting" under "Interface". The
appropriate transmission protocol must then be selected in the same menu under "Instruction
Set". The P 10 setting contains the operation mode for SCHILLER devices, among others. Our
own transmission protocol is located under "ergosana".
Information on interface and instruction set can be obtained from the operating data of the
master unit.
When the settings have been correctly defined, the ergometer automatically switches to
"remote operation" when the first command comes through over the interface. The ergometry
screen is opened in the display, showing current load and possibly pulse rate data in both
alphanumeric and graphic forms. The execution of the internal programs is disabled in this
operating mode.
Remote operating mode is ended by either pressing the command button "End" or by switching
the device off.

Training program (option)

The use of the training program requires a pulse signal receiver (Polar system), which is
integrated in the control panel. The receiver can be ordered together with the device or added
later on.
The patient wears a transmitter belt, which is positioned on the skin below the chest. The
effective radius of the signals transmitted by the belt and received in the control panel is
approx. 70 cm. Please note that if the skin is dry, contact problems may occur between the belt
and the skin at the beginning of the training. Therefore, if the pulse transmission is unsteady or
disturbed, moisten the contact surfaces of the transmitter belt with contact spray or water.

Training with constant heart rate (Pulse-Steady-State)

A bicycle ergometer training with constant heart rate (pulse-steady-state method) in the
individual training range is a highly efficient and risk-free training method for the
cardiopulmonary system. Ask your physician which is the suitable training heart rate for you. He
or she will determine it for you using an exercise test.
