How is the energy consumption taken into account in the ergomo?
Energy consumption shows the amount of energy an athlete is spending. • 1 kcal (Kilocalorie) = 4,1868 kJ (Kilojoule) A calculation example for the ergomo: nbsp; • At a mechanical effort of 1420 kj you have 346 kcal. For this conversion the ergomo takes a certain efficiency factor into account, because not the whole energy is used for the effective work. The athlete loses energy e.g. for transpiration and metablolic reactions as well. This efficiency factor in the ergomo is 22%. => 346kcal/0,22= 1570Kcal This is the real energy consumption when cycling. How much time remains, if the battery symbol “LOW” appears on the main display? The battery symbol “LOW” appears on the main display appears when when the remaining battery capacity is is less than 2 hours. The “sleep” mode is activated when the battery has less than 1 hours capacity. All stored data remains on the ergomo computer and can be transferred to your pc after the ride. The computer should be recharged when the battery low sign
