Place of installation To ensure that exercising with Synchro is easy, safe and effective, the place where it is used should comply with certain specific requirements; in particular, before choosing the place where the equipment will be installed, please ensure that the following conditions are satisfied: - the temperature is between +10°C and +25°C; - enough air is circulating to keep humidity during exercise to between 20% and 90%; - the lighting is good enough to make the area safe and relaxing place
Unpacking Depending on the country of destination, Synchro can either come partially assembled in a cardboard pack attached to a pallet, or fully assembled, wrapped in a transparent plastic sheet and attached to a pallet. The packed material can be lifted and carried with normal lifting equipment. The instructions are printed directly on the pack.
Moving the equipment The equipment has two fixed rear wheels. To move the equipment, lift it up slightly, as shown in the illustration, and push it forwards and backwards. Given the weight of the equipment, we recommend that more than one person be involved in lifting it. If wheels cannot be used on the floor, move the equipment with normal lifting and transport methods. Warning Lift the equipment by holding onto the frame and not the levers or the control panel.
Levelling The equipment is levelled by adjusting the two front feet and the central foot: - loosen the lock nut (B) and screw the front feet (A) in or out until the frame is in a stable position; - tighten up the lock nut (B) after adjusting.
Electrical connection (700 and 500 versions) Before connecting the equipment to the mains power supply, ensure that the electrical system specifications comply to binding regulations. Check the mains power supply specifications on the label applied to the frame under the control panel. Danger The wall socket must be located in a place where the plugging and unplugging can be done easily and safely. When plugging in, the switch on the equipment must be in the 0 position (i.e.
Electrical connection (700 and 500 versions) Danger The power supply socket must be grounded . If not, a ground connection must be installed by a qualified electrician before connecting the equipment to the electricity mains. The product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
Connection to another device The equipment can be connected to an audio/video reception device such as the Cardio Theater. Besides, if the equipment has not TV, it can be connected to a network of devices conforming to the CSAFE protocol. Warning The devices connected must comply with international standards. Equipment with codes DA52M..., DA53M..., DA58M..., DA59M... can be connected to devices conforming to the CSAFE protocol only for setting and maintenance functions.
Connection to another device If the equipment has the TV, connect the aerial cable to the equipment and to the wall socket. Use an RF coaxial cable for the connection with an F type of connector for the equipment. The wall socket of the aerial cable must be positioned so that the plug can be easily inserted and removed. A network socket can be found next to the aerial socket for the Ethernet connection.
Routine maintenance As the equipment is used in a sports centre by more than one person, it should always be kept clean and free of dust, in accordance with normal hygiene and sanitary rules. To clean the control panel, proceed as follows: - turn the equipment off by switching the switch to the 0 position (700 and 500 versions); unplug the equipment power cable from the wall socket (700 and 500 versions); clean the control panel with a damp, but not wet, cloth.
Routine maintenance Danger The routine maintenance, adjustment and lubrication jobs must be performed by the Technogym Technical Support Service. Before starting any job, turn the equipment off by switching the switch to the 0 position and unplug the power cable from the wall socket.
Changing the fuses (700 and 500 versions) Danger Before changing the fuses, switch the equipment off by switching the switch to 0 and unplug the power cable plug from the wall socket. Remove the fuse holder, to the right of the switch, by pushing the lever. Replace the blown fuse with a new one as supplied (3.15A (F). Fit the fuse holder back into its housing, making sure it clicks in properly.
Recharging the battery (700 SP and 500 SP versions) The 700 SP and 500 SP versions have to be kept moving to keep them turned on. If, when you stop moving, the control panel switches off without warning, the battery will have to be recharged. If, 30 seconds after starting movement, the resistance of the equipment is exceptionally high even at effort level 1, recharge the battery with the charger. Warning Do not use the equipment while the battery is recharging.
Troubleshooting Below is a list of problems that may arise during normal use of the equipment. If the described remedies do not solve the problem, contact the Technical Support Service. Problem Cause Remedy Equipment doesn’t switch on Mains power failure (700 and 500 versions). Check the power supply at the wall socket used by the equipment by plugging in an appliance that definitely works. Power supply cable damaged (700 and 500 versions). Contact the Technogym Technical Support Service.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Remedy Too noisy Equipment not properly levelled. Check the position and level the adjustment feet. Damaged bearings. Contact the Technogym Technical Support Service. Worn belt. Contact the Technogym Technical Support Service. Data incorrect or unreliable with equipment running Blocked key on keypad. If the problem persists, contact the Technogym Technical Support Service. Equipment next to source of radio interference (e.g. electrical domestic appliances).
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Remedy Problems in monitoring heart rate with the chest band Other transmitters situated nearby. Move the equipment far enough away to stop signal interference (minimum distance between two units 80 cm). Strong interference sources nearby. Find the interference source (e.g. an electrical domestic appliance) and move it away, or move the equipment. Worn heart rate monitor chest band. Change the chest band. Chest band transmitter not making proper skin contact.
Technical assistance The Technogym Technical Support Service provides: - telephone consultation information about which services are covered by the warranty and which must be paid for on-site servicing supply of original spare parts. Technogym Technical Support Service tel: 0547 650650 fax: 0547 650150 email: support@technogym.com When you contact the Technogym Technical Support Service you must give the following information: - model, date of purchase, serial number, precise description of the problem.
Storage If a long period of non-use is expected, you are advised to store the equipment in the following way: - in a clean dry place, with a dust cover; at a room temperature between -10°C and 70°C and relative humidity between 20% and 90%. For better storage, use the original packing materials.
Disposing of the equipment always make sure that the equipment cannot become a hazard in any way, and do not leave it in places where children play. As a precaution, when the equipment is unused for a long time or when you want to dispose of it, unplug it from the mains. Disposing of the equipment on open ground, in public areas, or in private areas used by the public is prohibited.
Switching on and off To turn 700 and 500 versions of the equipment on, switch the switch to “I” position. To turn the 700 SP and 500 SP versions on, begin moving. When switched on, a beep sounds and all the control panel LEDs light up. After a quick system check (reset), the equipment is ready for use. In this mode, the following functions are enabled: - calculation of heart rate, if measured; - reading of access codes for configuration menu (see the Configuration Menu section in the software part).
Switching on and off To turn 700 and 500 versions of the equipment off, switch the main switch to the “0” position. If the equipment isn’t going to be used for a long time, as well as turning it off you should also pull the plug out of the wall socket. Warning The switch is for turning the equipment on and off but does not isolate it completely from the mains voltage, even in the “0” position (off). For complete isolation you must unplug the power supply plug.
Monitoring the heart rate The equipment is able to measure heart rate trends, in two different ways: - with a device applied to the fixed handle or to the levers (hand sensor), that switches on when you grip the handles or levers in the sensor region (in 700 and 700 SP versions); - with a chest band with a heart rate transmitter (Polar T31).
Monitoring the heart rate Heart rate readings will not be accurate near electromagnetic radiation sources (TVs, cellphones, etc.). Should you have any doubts about the accuracy of the readings, contact the Technical Support Service. Heart rate per minute The following table shows the optimum heart rate levels in relation to age and the goal to be achieved. Theoretical maximum heart rate (100%) is calculated on the basis of age using the formula: 220 - age.
Monitoring the heart rate To read the graph, simply find your age on the horizontal axis and scan up the vertical until you reach the 60%, 70% and 90% values. Aerobic exercise performed at a heart rate between 60% and 70% mainly burns fat as an energy source. When doing aerobic exercise at a heart rate of 70% to 90% the cardiocirculatory component prevails.
Ergonomic positioning on the equipment Step onto the equipment from one side and put one foot on each pedal. Grasp a fixed handle with one hand and set the program with the other on the control panel. To perform the movement with your lower limbs only, hold the fixed handles. To perform the movement with your upper limbs as well, hold the levers. At the beginning move slowly until you become familiar with the equipment and acquire balance.
