General Information
Dear customer!
We would like to express our gratitude for putting your trust in us, in deciding for this high-quality Running-Machine.
The development
The approved quality and reliable technique of our Running-Machine generation QUASAR® and STELLAR© (first introduction of our models QUASAR® and STELLAR© into the market in the year 1989) served as a basis for the development of this new generation of Running-Machines: The H-P-COSMOS STELLAR©-med, QUASAR®-med, PULSAR®, VENUS©, SATURN® and ORBITER© series.
Elegant and modern design combined with nearly maintenance-free technique offers extensive opportunities for training and rehabilitation.
The application
Easy handling, smooth and steady start at 0.0 km/h as well as a maintenance-free and powerful drive motor impart a comfortable feeling to the subject.
Beside the usual training on a Running-Machine with an angle of elevation, it is also possible to perform a downhill-run, which gives the opportunity to train the leg muscles in a very joint-considerate way.
The facilities
Those Running-Machine-types without an UserTerminal can only be controlled via RS 232 interface by an external control panel (e.g. PC, ECG or Ergospirometry-surveyor’s table). Running-Machines of that type are not equipped with a display and keys for operation.
All devices equipped with an UserTerminal have in addition to manual operation also the possibility of automatic operation. In this case the separate running-sequences get controlled in accordance to the preselected terms. Those sequences deposited in the control system can be varied up to a certain extent by the user. Together with the manual operation this results in a multiplicity of training- and testing possibilities.
For documentation you can connect all H-P-COSMOS Running-Machines equipped with an interface to a PC or printer, or control it from a PC-, ECG- or Ergospirometry-surveyor’s table.
Please read the instruction manual and the safety regulations for more information. Safety
Because the Running-Machine is a motor-driven device, you should pay special attention to the mentioned safety regulations. If proper notice is taken of the safety regulations the operation of H-P-COSMOS Running-Machines is almost without any risk. The neglect of the safety regulations could result in dangerous situations.
Therefore please read the installation and operation manual and the danger precautions before taking the device into operation.
Maintenance
Simple maintenance can easily be done by yourself. We recommend to instruct our competent service team or enter into a maintenance contract with either H-P-COSMOS or an authorised distributor, for a routine service in an interval of 6 or 12 months.
We are wishing you a lot of fun and success while training and working with your Running-Machine. Do not hesitate to contact our trained staff or your distributor if you have got any further questions. Registration / extension of warranty
A form for registration of your institution and device is included in the extent of delivery by H-P-COSMOS. In order to be able to supply you with the latest technical information and service, it is important for you to fill out the form.
Only if the form for registration has been sent to H-P-COSMOS within 3 months from the date of delivery, will you receive the extension of warranty.
Therefore please fill out the form for registration immediately and send it to us via fax.
Subject to change, errors and omissions excepted. E & OE
The instruction manual as a firm part of the extent of delivery has to be accessible for the user at any time.
This instruction manual has been written with great care. Should you, however, still find any details, which do not correspond with your device, please give us notice, so that we can correct any mistakes as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance!

Transport, unpacking and Packaging
When receiving the machine in a crate or unpacked, make sure the machine and/or the packaging is not damaged. If you discover any damage make a note on the packing-list / delivery note of the carrier!
The manufacturer does not undertake any liability for any damage which is not reported immediately on the packing- list / delivery note.
Before you unpack the machine read instructions on the crate.
Make sure that the machine, power connection cable or any optional equipment will not be damaged during unpacking.
In order to avoid any damages most of all Running-Machines are being transported and installed by H-P-COSMOS or an authorised carrier.
If delivered by H-P-COSMOS the packaging will be taken back and recycled.
If the Running-Machine is being delivered by a carrier, you can recycle the packaging yourself or send it back to H-P-COSMOS (transportation is to be paid by the customer).
Often a recyclable transport tool or packaging is included in the extent of delivery. Ask your dealer and the carrier to take the packaging and the recyclable transport tool back to your dealer or to H-P-COSMOS at your own costs. In some cases a credit note can be granted.
5.1 Moving the Machine to upper or lower Floors and through narrow Doors
With the standard models the handrail at the left is easy to remove, as there are no cables (except models VENUS© and
SATURN®) inside.
The handrail at the right can be unscrewed, can be put 90° to the left ("lay it on the running belt") and then the handrail has to be temporarily fixed in order to avoid damages during the transport.
Under these conditions the whole machine can be put 90° to the right to an upright position. So the width of the machine is fairly reduced for the transport and the machine can be easily moved through narrow doors. It is highly recommended to put 2 small trolleys under the machine for easy transport through aisles.
For moving the machine to upper or lower floors a special transport tool is available at H-P-COSMOS or at your dealer.
Mechanical Installation
In order to ensure proper installation and safety, transport and installation of the devices should always be performed by either the manufacturer or an authorised service crew.
For reasons of safety please make sure that there is a safety zone of L: 2.5m x W: 1.0m behind and L: 1.0m x B: 1.0m to the front the Running-Machine. Please note, that with the optional equipment reversible running belt rotation you also have to ensure a safety zone of L: 2.5m x W: 1.0m in front of the Running-Machine.
Put an aerobic mat (or something similar) in front of and behind the Running-Machine.
The provided space for the Running-Machine should be even and horizontal.
Models MERCURY© and MERCURY©med: The 2 leveling sockets (adjustable "feet") at the rear of the Running-Machine have to be adjusted so that they have a firm stand, otherwise it could lead to noises like knocking or rattling during the training. Check the weight load pressure on the levering sockets (weight of the Running-Machine at the rear), by trying to lift the frame off the ground at the rear of the Running-Machine one side after the other. That way you can find out, whether you have got the same load on the two sockets.
Models STELLAR©, STELLAR©med, QUASAR®, QUASAR®med, PULSAR®: Make sure the floor condition is even and horizontal. The machine stands with the entire ground frame on the floor. There are no leveling sockets.
Models VENUS© and SATURN®: Make sure the floor condition is even and horizontal. The machine stands with the entire ground frame on the floor. There are leveling sockets incorporated, but they should only be used in case of problems with and uneven floor. Before you switch on the device you need to dismantle the mechanical transportation fuse, fixing the upper and lower frame!
Model ORBITER©: See separate installation instruction.
The running belt has to be checked and if necessary adjusted (see maintenance instructions), so that it is placed exactly in the middle of the two rollers, after installation or change of location!
If the Running-Machine is installed safely and horizontal, it can be plugged in (see installation instructions) and taken into operation.
It is recommended to lubricate the running surface with 40ml Silicone-Oil before using it for the first time. See separate chapter "maintenance".
Electrical Installation
Read the nameplate of the machine before connecting the machine to the power outlet, just in case the machine was designed for special voltage supply (e.g. 110 Volts and 25 Ampere)
As standard, a usual power supply of 230 Volt / AC, 50/60 Hz is sufficient for the Running-Machines.
Models H-P-COSMOS VENUS©, SATURN®, ORBITER© require a 3 phase AC power supply:
3 x 380-420 Volt / 32 Amp fused (Read name of the machine just to make sure!) and right-handed polarised (clockwise rotation field)!
After having the equipment switched on, an elevation of 0 % has to be adjusted automatically. If this is not the case when using the VENUS©, SATURN® and ORBITER© (the elevation is increasing), the unit is to be switched off immediately and the two phases of the wall socket have to be changed so that the device is supplied with right-handed polarized power. Otherwise the elevation cannot be set correctly and the power supply of the motor for controlling the elevation is switched off via the limit stop switch at the railing.
Use a usual 16 Ampere (32 A for VENUS©, SATURN®, ORBITER©) expulsion fuse (with B-tripping circuit). If however, the expulsion fuses switch off when starting the device, the circuit has to be secured with a 16 A blow-out fuse or an expulsion fuse with another tripping-circuit (e.g.: K–fuse). Read name of the machine just to make sure!
For further questions please ask your electrical engineer.
Before installing the Running-Machine please compare the specifications on the name plate concerning the mains voltage and the mains frequency with your local characteristics. Connection only if identical!

Check the main lead before plugging it in. Damaged leads and couplers have to be exchanged immediately. Rubber-leads can get porous and friable after some years!
Plug in the Running-Machines into the wall socket directly.
Each Running-Machine has to be connected to a separate circuit.
The use of an extension cable or a multiple plug socket is not allowed.
If the equipment is used in the field of medicine, first connect the potential equalisation with the corresponding plug pin (next to the main switch at the front) and then connect the mains plug.
Operation
Switching the Device ON
Attention!
If the Running-Machine is at an angle of elevation (<> 0) when switching it on, it will automatically drive into the position zero (display: ELEVATION „INIT“ or "0H0"). So please take care before switching on, that while driving down the elevation no harm can be done to persons and there are no objects under the Running-Machine.
Unlocking of the Emergency-stop switch
In order to be able to switch on the device, you may have to unlock the Emergency-stop switch first by pulling it (depending on the type) or turning it around (to the left hand side or right hand side, see symbol).
Devices for Sports and Fitness
The Running-Machine can be switched on at the expulsion fuse at the front of the device (frontal section below the hood) to the condition "stand-by mode". (If the Emergency-stop has been activated a flashing notice „PULL STOP“ appears on the display.)
Some of the models STELLAR©, STELLAR©med, QUASAR®, QUASAR®med, PULSAR®, VENUS© and SATURN® are equipped with a main-switch: Red Button: "ON" or "I". Those models have to be switched ON and OFF with the help of this button, and not with the Fuse Breaker.
Devices for Medical Application
The expulsion fuse at the front of the device has to be switched on „I“ (frontal section below the hood).
Switch on the Running-Machine by using the green "ON" or „I“-key on the UserTerminal (some models at the front of the device). The indicator light within the key is glowing. (If the indicator does not flash up, please check the power supply, the expulsion fuse and the Emergency-stop.)
Switching the Device OFF
Do not switch the device on or off within less than 1 min. Otherwise it could lead to interference in the adjustment of the motor or to the failure of the backup.
The models for medical application with the isolation transformer have an inrush-current limiter. Too short switch on / switch off intervals will lead to a deactivation of the inrush current limiter and results in an overload of the circuit fuse.
For the professional use, where the devices are often being used daily, we recommend to switch on the devices in the morning, and leave it in the stand-by mode during the day.
Devices for Sports and Fitness
Switch off the device at the expulsion fuse at the front of the Running-Machine (frontal section below the hood).
Some of the models STELLAR©, STELLAR©med, QUASAR®, QUASAR®med, PULSAR®, VENUS© and SATURN® are equipped with a main-switch: Red Button: "OFF" or "O". Those models have to be switched ON and OFF with the help of this button, and not with the Fuse Breaker.
Devices for Medical Application
Switch off the Running-Machine by pressing the red „O“-key at the UserTerminal (some models at the front of the device). The indicator within the key is extinguished.
The Emergency-Stop / Emergency-Off
When in danger of falling or in an emergency please press the red button of the Emergency-stop at the UserTerminal.
In order to switch on the device again, unlock the Emergency-stop by pulling it (depending on the type) or by turning it (to the left hand side/ right hand side see symbols).
Running-Machines for sports and fitness will be ready for operation immediately (pay attention to the display).
Use the Emergency-stop only if in danger!
The Emergency-stop is not to be used as a normal stop-key.
Running-Machines for medical application have to be switched on with the green „I“-key again. Before switching it on again, however, wait for at least 1 minute. As mentioned above „Switching the device off“.
K
UserTerminal and Display
The H-P-COSMOS models MERCURY© LT, STRATOS© LT, MERCURY© LTmed, and STRATOS© LTmed do not possess an UserTerminal. They can only be controlled via interface RS 232.

Mode of Operation:
The Running-Machine is equipped with several modes of operation: Manual, Profile, Cardio and Test. Some of the modes of operation can also be changed online into another while the Running-Machine is in operation.
The incorporated series interface RS 232 is always active. This means, that you can send and receive data/commands at any time (parallel) and during any mode. Always the latest command will be executed. No matter if the command came via RS 232 interface or from the UserTerminal during one of the 4 modes.
7 different acceleration levels and deceleration levels are available for all modes and for remote control via RS 232.
Max. Acceleration Level and minimum Acceleration Level see chapter: User Options / Optional Functions.

Manual Mode / Basic Functions MCU 2 & MCU 3
.D Start Running-Machine
Start the Running-Machine by pressing the "+" key. If this key is pressed several times, the speed of the Running-Machine will be increased step by step with higher acceleration level. The belt can be accelerated in up to 7 levels until the maximum speed is reached. See also setup of OPTION 40!
.C Maintain Speed
If the Ckey is pressed, the current speed will be kept constant. Depending on the setup of OPTION 40, the SET key may not be in use (may not be required to maintain the current speed). In this case the Speed will be maintained automatically after termination of pressing "+" or "-".
.A D Change Speed
Press the keys "+" and "-" in order to change the speed. If these keys are pressed several times, the belt can be accelerated or decelerated in different levels. Seven acceleration levels between maximum and minimum speed are available.
Acceleration Table
Acceleration Level | Acceleration / deceleration from 0 to maximum speed |
1 | 131 seconds |
2 | 66 seconds |
3 | 33 seconds |
4 | 16 seconds |
5 | 8 seconds |
6 | 5 seconds |
7 | 3 seconds |
The same times are valid for the deceleration of the Running-Machine. Under "OPTION 10" (see special function OPTION) the acceleration levels can either be blocked or released. For safety reasons a standard 5-second-delay of the motor control (inverter drive) is programmed; thus the acceleration levels 6 and 7 are somewhat delayed. This delay function can only optionally be released by H-P-COSMOS.
.E F Change Elevation
Use the E and F key in order to change the elevation.
.C Maintain Elevation
If the Ckey is pressed, the current elevation will be kept constant. Depending on the setup of OPTION 40, the SET key may not be in use (may not be required to maintain the current elevation).
.A Pause
Press the "-" key in order to stop the Running-Machine and activate the condition "PAUSE". "PSE" appears in the Speed display. The values of the distance covered, the time needed for this distance and the energy consumed will be "frozen".
If the run is to be aborted after this pause, press the "STOP" key. Press the "+" key in order to continue running after having the
pause ended. The recording is started from the current value so that despite an interruption the total running time, total distance and the total energy consumption can be read at the end of the measurement.
If a specific program step in an automatic program is to be paused, enter a speed of "0.1 km/h".
.G STOP - End Running
Press "STOP" and the run is ended. The elevation automatically returns to "0 %" (only various models, see OPTIONS). Press "STOP" again and the elevation reset is also stopped.
The values are displayed until a new run is started and they are automatically set to "0". Each program activity can prematurely be ended by pressing "STOP".
When using the Running-Machine with an elevation of more than 15 %, you should pay attention that the motor-driven brake is no longer working when the driving motor is switched off and that the test subject's weight is sufficient to drive the belt again. After having the STOP key pressed and if a specific elevation is set (limit depending on factory setting) the motor-driven brake can still be active. This, however, means that the driving motor works and current is consumed until the elevation is below the set limit again and the brake switches off automatically.
Should you have any further questions, please contact an authorised engineer.
Important: For a better documentation we recommend to use a printer linked to the serial interface RS 232 or/and to use an external PC with the Software H-P-COSMOS ParaGraphics®.
Automatic Mode / Special Functions
If a special function is called up, a specific number is to be entered (blinking insertion mark). Exception: "DISPLAY" and "BUZZER" function.

If the special function "PROG" is called up, enter a program number in the upper right display (blinking insertion mark). Single-digit or two-digit numbers can be entered. Two-digit numbers are to be entered within 3 seconds as otherwise the computer assumes that a single-digit number is to be entered.
The program will be started automatically after the countdown (three beeps) is expired or the "START" key is pressed before. A program can also be called up during a run without having to stop the device. If the program is started in such a way the displays will automatically be reset to "0".
If "PAUSE" is selected (indicated by "PSE" in the Speed display, also see manual operation, "PAUSE") during a program run, the program can be continued by pressing the "START" key. Based on the latest measured values, the recording will then be continued. Even during a program run another program can be started without having to stop the belt.
At any time a running program can be intervened by operating the program manually, using the speed preselection (function key "SPEED") or pressing "PAUSE" so that speed or elevation in an individual program step can be changed ON-LINE. Then, the original program list will again exactly be followed and the next program step of the program list will be activated.
The program step which has been changed ON-LINE will not be changed in the memory. The programs no. 01 to no. 29 cannot be changed or deleted in the memory.
The programs no. 30 to no. 99 are freely programmable by using the "STORE" function and can also be changed or deleted in the memory.

Test Programs models with elevation
Some test profiles (e.g. CONCONI-test, STEP-test, COOPER-test, etc.) are endurance tests (max. load and max.
Heart Rate tests) and should only be performed after consultation of a medical doctor and under supervision of trained staff.
Proper warm-up and cool-down periods have to be considered.
Use a safety harness with a safe chest belt system (optional equipment) for the subject when making max.
Load and max. Heart Rate Tests!
Test-mode can perform several different (predefined and selfdefined) tests. Information about the tests can be found in the enclosure. All Test Profiles only make the load control. There is no automatic evaluation done by the Running-Machine. The

Select Memory Location
After having the special function "STORE" selected, a program number for the freely programmable memory locations no. 30 to no. 99 is to be entered (blinking insertion mark in the upper right display).
After having the program number entered and if this memory location is still free and not programmed, enter the speed for the first program step in the Speed display.
The program step, for example "S 01", will be shown in the Distance display.
3 seconds after having the program number entered, a beep indicates that this memory location is already programmed. The program number will disappear again.
A memory location which is already programmed will be secured by a write protection. In this case select another free memory location.
If an already programmed memory location is to be changed or deleted, follow the procedure described under point "Program Correction, Modifications".
Programming
The parameters for each individual program step are to be entered in the following order:
Acceleration Level > if desired, only, "OPTION" function; Standard Level 1 (see programming examples)
Speed (3-digit e. g. "080" for 8,0 km/h or "100" for 10,0 km/h)
Time or distance (switch over with "0000")
Elevation
The "+" and "-" keys as well as the "UP" and "DOWN" keys serve as cursor keys during the programming procedure. Press the "+" and "-" keys in order to change between the individual displays and use the "UP" and "DOWN" keys in order to select the individual program steps.
The above-mentioned keys also allow to correct entry errors or to scroll through the program. The programmed parameters always refer to the current program step and not to the "current" time or distance indicated in the program.
If all of the parameters are entered, confirm the last program step "STOP" by pressing the "SET" key.
Thus, the program is automatically saved, too. Program step no. 1 appears again in order to check the program once again by scrolling through, to make necessary corrections or to end the programming procedure by pressing the "STOP" key.
Even if the Running-Machine is switched off, the entered program will still be saved in the memory.
Acceleration Level
In addition to the manual setting the stepwise acceleration and deceleration of the Running-Machine can be programmed for each individual program step. Up to 7 levels between maximum and minimum speed can be selected.
After having the program number entered, the speed for the first program step is to be entered (blinking insertion mark in the Speed display).
Before entering the speed, press the "OPTION" function key. Another blinking insertion mark appears at the left side. Now enter the desired acceleration level and then the speed (3-digit number).
If a higher acceleration level is not desired, the speed can be entered immediately. Then, level "1" will be selected automatically. Acceleration table:
Acceleration level number | Acceleration from 0 to maximum speed |
1 | 131 seconds |
2 | 66 seconds |
3 | 33 seconds |
4 | 16 seconds |
5 | 8 seconds |
6 | 5 seconds |
7 | 3 seconds |
The same times are valid for decelerating the Running-Machine. Under "OPTION 10" (see special function OPTION) the acceleration levels can either be blocked or released.
Speed
The speed is always to be entered as a 3-digit number. Example:
0 0 8 | for | 0.8 km/h |
0 5 4 | for | 5.4 km/h |
1 6 0 | for | 16.0 km/h |
Duration - Time
The duration is always to be entered in minutes and seconds (4-digit number). Example:
0 0 2 0 for 20 seconds
0 5 0 0 for 5 minutes
8 0 0 0 for 80 minutes
If the time "0 0 0 0" is entered, the next entry field appears in the display. Enter the distance for this program step. The current program step will then be shown in the Time display. If instead of the distance a specific time is to be programmed again, enter "0 0 0 0" for the distance.
Distance > Length
First the speed is to be entered; following that enter the duration.
If "0 0 0 0" is entered for the time, the display switches over to the distance entry field for this program step. The current program step will then appear in the Time display.
If "0 0 0 0" is entered for the distance, the display again switches over to the duration which is to be entered for this program step. The distance is always entered in meters x 10.
Example:
0 0 0 5 for 50 meters
0 0 2 5 for 250 meters
0 2 0 0 for 2.0 kilometers
0 0 0 for 20 kilometers
Pause
A pause as a program step in an automatic program can be programmed by entering a speed of "0.1 km/h". Following that the duration of the pause can be programmed.
As the belt is not running during the pause, it is impossible to program a distance.
During the run the speed will be reduced until the Running-Machine stops (0 km/h) and "PSE" (Pause status) appears in the Speed display. The time will continue to run until the next program step becomes active.
End of Program, Saving
After having entered all of the parameters confirm the last program step "End of program > 0 km/h" by pressing the "SET" key. Thus, the program will also be saved.
Once again Program step no. 1 appears in order to scroll through the program, to make possible corrections or to end programming by pressing the "STOP" key.
A correction has to be saved by pressing the "SET" key.
Even if the Running-Machine is switched off, the entered program will be saved.
Program Correction, Program Modifications
The program storage can only be corrected in the user programs 30 to 99.
A memory location which is already programmed is protected by a write protection.
seconds after pressing the special function "STORE" and entering a program number, a beep can be heard and the program number will disappear again.
If this procedure is repeated for three times, program step 1 of the memory location which is already programmed will be active again.
The "+" and "-" keys as well as the "UP" and "DOWN" keys serve as cursor keys during the programming procedure. Press the "+" and "-" keys in order to change between the individual displays and use the "UP" and "DOWN" keys in order to select the individual program steps. Use the above-mentioned keys to scroll through the program.
Select and modify the corresponding program step.
After having performed all modifications they have to be saved once again by pressing the "SET" key. Then this function can be ended by pressing the "STOP" key.
Delete Program
A program memory location can be deleted in the user programs 30 to 99, only.
A memory location which is already programmed is protected by a write protection.
3 seconds after having the special function "STORE" and a program number entered, a beep can be heard and the program number will disappear again.

If no higher acceleration level is selected after pressing "OPTION", the slowest step "1" will be used automatically.
.4 Sprint Programming: Acceleration up to max. Speed
![]()
!
For safety reasons this function is always blocked in "OPTION 13, Parameter 0".
The Running-Machine always speeds up to max. speed of the Running-Machine until you press STOP.
Only trained subjects are allowed to use this function in the presence of expert staff.
After pressing this key, you are asked to enter a specific time in seconds. This time corresponds to the acceleration time (time required to reach the maximum speed when the belt was stopped before).
This function will be started automatically after a countdown of 3 seconds.
If the time is entered, the belt can be started immediately by pressing the "START" key so that the countdown is avoided.
The Running-Machine always speeds up to max. speed of the Running-Machine until you press STOP.
.5 Selection of Display / Display Scrolling
Press this key and you can change between the displays of "Pulse" (if available), "Elevation" (if available) and energy consumption.
Without changing the displays or some seconds after changing the displays, the most important values will appear here:
Operating status | Display |
without changing the elevation without pulse | Energy consumption / Watts (see selection in Options) |
without changing the elevation with pulse | Pulse (Heart Rate) |
with changing the elevation | Elevation |
.6 Entry of the Subject's Body Weight
Press this key and the weight (kg) can be entered. The figure 65 for a standard weight of 65 kg is blinking in the "Energy - Pulse - Elevation" display.
Now enter the test subject's weight (2- or 3-digit value):
Example:
70 | for | 70 | kg |
105 | for | 105 | kg |
If the body weight is not entered for calculating (estimating) the energy consumption / Wattage, an average weight of 65 kg will be assumed and, based on this weight, the energy consumption (KJ) & Watts (W) will be calculated (estimated) and displayed.
.7 Heart-Rate-Dependent Exercise Control (Cardio Mode)

he pulse measurement, this function is not included in the standard equipment and is available as an option, only.
Pay attention to the notes on safety indicated in the instruction manual.
If the test subject complains about nausea or dizziness, the training is to be terminated immediately and a physician is to be consulted.
If the radio transmission of heart rate is disturbed (or such a disturbance is suspected) the automatic exercise control must not be used.
The system must not be used without prior instruction by expert staff.
Like t
Fields of Application
The pulse-dependent exercise control is intended for an automatic control of the Running-Machine with the aim to reach the pre-set heart rate of the test subject.
Three parameters can be programmed:
the desired heart rate (pulse) during the training
the maximum running speed
the maximum elevation
Depending on the selected parameters the following control sequences are possible:
Max. speed | Max. elevation | Control |
0 | 0 | No control |
> 0 | 0 | Speed control |
0 | > 0 | Elevation control |
> 0 | > 0 | Speed control first. After having reached the speed which is maximally allowed, the elevation will be controlled. |
Default Values
For safety reasons maximum values for heart rate and exercise parameters are to be entered.
These default values can be programmed and activated via the option functions after selecting the device switched on and the PULSE function.
Even if the Running-Machine is switched off, the default values will remain saved.
Thus, an easier operation is possible as default values are always pre-set when activating the PULSE function by pressing the "START" key.
Default values can be entered for:
Heart rate: Option 17 > Preselection: HR 120
Max. speed: Option 18 > Preselection: 8 km/h
Max. elevation Option 19 > Preselection: 25 %
Control
Based on the decision matrix supposed and tested by the Sporthochschule Magglingen (Switzerland), the Running-Machine approaches the preselected training rate:
HR difference bpm act > < predefined | ### Speed km/h | ### Elevation % | ### Time s |
> 50 | 2.0 | 2.7 | 20 |
> 30 | 1.0 | 1.3 | 15 |
> 15 | 0.5 | 0.7 | 10 |
> 5 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 10 |
> 3 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 10 |
Example:
If the current heart rate is 100 bpm and the programmed training heart rate is 160 bpm, the difference between both values is greater than 50 (see line 1). Thus, every 20 seconds the speed will be increased by 2.0 km/h. If the adjustment is based on the elevation, the elevation will be increased by 2.7 % every 20 seconds.
As soon as the heart rate of 156 bpm (difference of 4 bpm > see line 5) is reached, only every 10 seconds the speed or elevation will be readjusted by 0.1 km/h (or 0.1 %).
If the heart rate is in one of the first four ranges, "P" is blinking and the current heart rate appears in the display. As soon as the target rate (entered training rate +/- 3 bpm) is reached, "P" will blink, only.
Activation of Pulse-Dependent Exercise Control
New Start:
Press the "PULSE" key when the Running-Machine is stopped.
Use the control panel in order to enter a training rate or accept the default value by pressing the "START" key at once. (If you do not select a new training rate, the current value will be shown in the display for about 20 seconds.)
After selecting the training rate, press the "START" key.
On-Line Start:
If the Running-Machine is running, activate the pulse-dependent exercise control by pressing the "PULSE" key (new training rate is to be entered or the latest entered training rate is to be accepted) or selecting the command "CTRL 1" (if the latest entered training rate is accepted).
Change of Training Heart Rate and Parameters
The training rate and the adjustment parameters maximum speed and maximum elevation can be modified at any time without having to change the default values.
Command "PULSE" Training heart rate > (default value option 17) Command "CTRL 2" Max. speed > (default value option 18) Command "CTRL 3" Max. elevation > (default value option 19)
After entering the training rate these values will be shown in the corresponding displays for about 3 seconds.
The adjustment will be made as already described:
Three parameters can be programmed:
desired heart rate (pulse) during the training
maximum running speed
maximum elevation
Depending on the selected parameters the following adjustment sequences are possible:
Max. speed | Max. elevation | Adjustment |
0 | 0 | no adjustment |
> 0 | 0 | adjustment of speed |
0 | > 0 | adjustment of elevation |
> 0 | > 0 | At first adjustment of speed. After having reached the allowed maximum speed, the elevation is adjusted. |
Example:
Actual value of current heart rate: 100 bpm (beats per minute) Programmed training heart rate: 160 bpm
Allowed maximum speed: 10 km/h
Allowed max. elevation: 25 %
Response of pulse-dependent adjustment:
Every 20 seconds the speed will be increased by 2.0 km/h.
At first the speed is step-by-step adjusted up to a maximum of 10 km/h, unless a heart rate of 160 bpm is reached before. A beep of 2 seconds indicates that the allowed maximum speed of 10 km/h is required and achieved.
Following that the elevation will be further increased at a constant speed (in this case 10 km/h) until the desired heart rate of 160 (+ / - 3) bpm is achieved.
If necessary, the elevation will be reduced step by step until a value of 0 % is reached should the heart rate be higher than 163 bpm. If the heart rate (+ / - 3 bpm) is out of the target rate, "P" and the current heart rate will blink in the display. If the target rate (entered training rate) is reached, only "P" will blink and the heart rate will be displayed constantly.
Deactivate the Pulse-Dependent Adjustment
Press the "STOP", "-" key or
press the "CTRL 0" key without stopping the Running-Machine or
enter the training rate "000" (key "PULSE" 0).
After deactivating the pulse-dependent adjustment, the values for training rate, max. speed and max. elevation will always be reset to the default values, except when the "-" key is pressed.
.8 Control Function / Activation
This function is intended for parameter entry and ON-LINE deactivation and activation of the pulse-dependent adjustment and Automatic Speed Control Function.
Pulse-Dependent Exercise Control
"CTRL 0" Deactivation of pulse-dependent adjustment without having to stop the Running-Machine. "CTRL 1" Reactivation of the exercise control during running (also possible via function key "PULSE"). "CTRL 2" ON-LINE correction of max. speed > (default value option 18)
"CTRL 3" ON-LINE correction of max. elevation > (default value option 19)
Automatic Speed-Control-Function / Position Sensor
Detailed instruction see chapter: Optional Equipment: Automatic Speed-Control-Function / Position Sensor
"CTRL 4" Activation of Automatic Speed-Control-Function / Position Sensor (see instruction under optional equipment) (position dependent Speed-Control-Function)
As an optional equipment a position sensor (measurement via a thread [yarn] system) is available. This sensor measures:
the actual position of the subject on the running track
the deviation of the target position to the actual position of the subject
According to the deviation of the target position to the actual position of the subject, the speed of the Running- Machine will be controlled automatically.
Start this function with CTRL 4 and the actual position of the subject will be considered automatically as the
Target-Position.
"CTRL 5" Deactivation of Automatic Speed-Control-Function

30 | 0 - 9 | Backwards movement of elevation motor (Only for models QUASAR®, QUASAR®-med and PULSAR®) If you change elevation to "ELEVATION UP" the elevation motor (only the gear-box types) is recommended to move slightly (1 to 2 mm) towards reverse direction (elevation down) after finishing "ELEVATION UP". This action helps to have a "mechanical tolerance" of the gear-box and the chain- system with the pulleys. After restart of "ELEVATION UP" the elevation motor will have much less mechanical load for the first 1 or 2 mm, and so the motor can start much smoother. The time (distance) for the backwards movement can be adjusted.

48 | 5 - 50 | Speed Value at max. Speed. (for Speed-Measurement Self Diagnosis: "E30" error message) It is of great importance to check the real max. speed of the Running-Machine during 10 volts analog control signal from the MCU to the inverter. Caution! Before you can check the max. speed of the Running-Machine you must ensure (and release if required) that in "Option 43" there is no software limitation for the max. speed. Explanation: The MCU observes and compares the measured and received speed signal from the speed sensor to the speed command sent from the MCU. If the 2 values do not match within a certain tolerance, the error message "E30" will be indicated on the MCU UserTerminal. This is for detection of dusty or false adjusted speed sensors, weak power supply to the drive motor or for other speed related problems. | 2.25 | |

If the height of the room's ceiling is not enough when using an arch construction with safety harness, the max. Elevation of the Running-Machine can be limited: See OPTION 46
Running Belt Rotation reversible for Downhill Run

!
As the subject is running against the usual running belt rotation and therefore has no control of the UserTerminal it is
necessary to have a supervisor who controls the Running-Machine during the training.
For safety reasons the max. speed has been limited with the models possessing a cross-bar handrail or a motor case cover.
Use a safety harness for additional safety!
The function running belt rotation reverse (optional) permits a simulation of a downhill run. To prevent any abuse, the function can only be activated by a key-operated switch.
Change from forward to reverse belt rotation
Turn the key switch and start the machine without a subject on the running belt. Operate at approx. 5 km/h speed.
Observe the belt position for 2 minutes and correct the belt position with the left belt adjustment screw (see chapter maintenance and belt adjustment). It is normal, that after changing the belt rotation, the belt will move to one side and therefore the running belt needs to be readjusted to the center of the running track.
Once the belt is readjusted, STOP the belt and operate the machine with the subject on the belt.
Attention:
If the key-operated switch is being activated at stand still, the running belt rotation reverse will be in function at the next start.
Change from reverse to forward belt rotation
Turn the key switch and start the machine without a subject on the running belt. Operate at approx. 5 km/h speed.
Observe the belt position for 2 minutes and correct the belt position with the left belt adjustment screw (see chapter maintenance and belt adjustment). It is normal, that after changing the belt rotation, the belt will move to one side and therefore the running belt needs to be readjusted.
Once the belt is readjusted, STOP the belt and operate the machine with the subject on the belt.
In most cases the readjustment of the running belt requires the same revolutions of the left belt adjustment screw.
Therefore we recommend to note the required revolutions of the belt adjustment screw. This will help to avoid the waiting time and can reduce the belt adjustment procedure to some seconds effort.

Heart Rate Measurement System 789
Please pay attention to the safety instructions in the instruction manual.
Stop training immediately if feeling sick or dizzy and see your doctor.
In the case of interference do not rely on the indicated values of the wireless Heart-Rate transmission.
!
Chest Belt and 789 Transmitter
You can use all 789 transmitters (coded and uncoded) with your H-P-COSMOS treadmill. For treadmills with EPROM versions lower than V 2.31 an EPROM update is available at H-P-COSMOS for the use of coded transmitters.
Note: Even with using the coded senders the transmission of the heart rate to the treadmill is still uncoded. The transmitter is only activated if placed correctly on the body.
The chest belt is washable. In this case loosen the belt from the transmitter. Please take care not to crush the two electrodes of the belt. After having loosened the transmitter off the belt, wash the belt and especially the electrodes with warm water and mild soap.
Do not clean the electrodes mechanically! Do not use alcohol!
Radius of Transmission
The transmitter radius amounts to approx. 80 to max. 120 cm. If you run several Running-Machines or other training devices on the same heart rate measurement system, you should keep a gap of at least 100 cm between the devices to exclude interference.
Battery of the 789 Transmitter
At an average application of 2 hours per day the life-span of the battery amounts to approx. 1 year.
![]()
!
The 789 receiver is incorporated in the Running-Machine and requires no battery. It is supplied by the Running-Machine. If an irregular pulse display occurs in spite of an unobjectionable technical condition, please check your pulse manually or in case of doubts see your doctor for a check.
Correct Placement of 789 Transmitter Belt
Adjust the belt length so that the belt fits tightly but does not confine you. The belt should not loosen while exercising. Close the belt with transmitter placed outwards (789-Logo in right position).
In order to allow an optimal skin contact the skin should be moist. Contact gel, as used for ECG, is an excellent solution. Moisten the two electrodes and the skin with water or contact gel, which is available in chemistries.
Place the transmitter so that it is right below the pectoral muscle (chest), as is shown in the illustration below.

Automatic Speed-Control-Function / Position Sensor
(position dependent Speed-Control-Function)
A position sensor (measurement via a thread [yarn] system) is available as an optional equipment. This sensor measures:
the actual position of the subject on the running track
the deviation of the actual position to the target position
According to the deviation of the target position to the actual position the speed of the Running-Machine will be controlled automatically.

Description of Graph:
TARGET-Position: After Start (activation) of the position dependent Speed-Control-Function, the ACTUAL-Position of the subject on the running track will be automatically programmed as the TARGET-Position.
Tolerance-Range: Within the Tolerance-Range the subject is allowed to move freely, without any impact and without any reaction of the automatic Speed-Control-Function. The speed will be maintained constantly.
Control-Range: In the case of the subject moving away from the Tolerance-Range to the Control-Range, the speed of the running belt will be controlled automatically: "faster or slower". The further the subject moves towards the Control-Range (to Level 2, 3 or even to Level 4), the more rapidly the speed will be controlled (accelerated or decelerated/delayed).
The Acceleration-Level and Deceleration-Level can be adjusted via Option 27, (Level 1 ... 6). Pay attention to possible Acceleration-Limitations under Option 10, Option 18 and Option 29!
Control-Characteristic: 3 various settings are adjustable:
Option 50 to 0: If the subject leaves the Tolerance-Range: The speed will be controlled (accelerated or decelerated) until the subject gets back to the TARGET-Position.
Option 50 to 1: If the subject leaves the Tolerance-Range: The speed will be controlled (accelerated or decelerated) until the subject gets back to the Tolerance-Range.
Option 50 to 2: If the subject leaves the Tolerance-Range: The speed will be controlled (accelerated or decelerated) until the ACTUAL-Position of the subject does not move further away from the TARGET-Position.
Commands, Functions, Optional Settings: (and Standard-Recommendation for a running track length of 2500 mm)
Command | Reaction / Description | Recommend. |
Option 26 | adjust Tolerance-Range The value in Option 26 (possible values from 0 20) represents 1/256 x 2 (x 2 is for +/- range) of the total thread length (mainly 3000 mm) of the position sensor. Example: Total Length of the thread: 3000mm divided by 256 = 11.72 mm x 2 = 23.44 Desired Tolerance-Range in this example should be: +/- 200mm (= 400mm) So we need to divide 400mm by 23.44 = 17.06 Enter value "17" in Option 26. Resolution of value is 1.0, so we enter 17 instead of 17.06 | 10 |
Option 27 | adjust Acceleration-Level / Deceleration-Level Program the "sensitivity" of the automatic Speed-Control-Function, how fast/slow the speed should be controlled/changed if the subject is within the CONTROL-Range. Allowed values for this Option: 1 ... 6 ( "smooth" to "aggressive" ) | 3 |

!
Devices without UserTerminal and without automatic Oil-Pump
The devices without UserTerminal are equipped with an automatic oil message via acoustic signal (bleep) indicating the device needs to be lubricated.
On standard setting every 1.000 km after switching on the device (main power switch) the acoustic signal
"5 times LONG (code for "0")" and1 time SHORT + 4 times LONG (code for "1") will be repeated 3 times.
The device has no sensor and the oil message will not terminate automatically after lubrication! The lubrication of the running belt and running surface is done with the enclosed, to the extent of delivery, accessories (bottle of lubricant and 10ml syringe).
After lubrication the oil message has to be terminated with "OPTION 01". An external UserTerminal or a PC-software
"Virtual UserTerminal" is required for this.
Devices with UserTerminal and without automatic Oil-Pump
The devices with UserTerminal are equipped with an automatic oil indication in the UserTerminal display.
On standard setting every 1.000 km the word OIL is flashing in the display. After lubrication the oil message has to be terminated with "OPTION 01". The device has no sensor and the oil message will not terminate automatically after lubrication! The lubrication of the running belt and running surface is done with the enclosed, to the extent of delivery, accessories (bottle of lubricant and 10ml syringe). Use the provided lubricant only! Other available oils and lubricants can damage the running belt and running surface and therefore lead to a breakdown of the Running-Machine.
Lubricant available on request at H-P-COSMOS. The running belt should be lubricated after 1000 km at the latest or after hearing dry grinding noises during operation.

Illustration 16: Oil-filling hole at the left or right hand side
Procedure:
The oil-filling hole is placed between the right (or left) footboard (MERCURY© built 1994 – 1997 at the left hand side of the frame) and the running belt at the front of the Running-Machine.
Start the Running-Machine at a max. speed of 5km/h.
Fill the syringe with 10ml of the lubricant.
Launch the syringe into the oil-filling hole and press the contents slowly in.
Fill the syringe again with the lubricant and slowly press the contents into the oil-filling hole.
Fill the syringe again with the lubricant and slowly press the contents into the oil-filling hole.
Fill the syringe again with air and slowly press the air into the oil-filling hole. This is to empty the small oil-tube of the Running-Machine.
Let the Running-Machine operate for a few minutes at the speed of 5 km/h, so that the oil can spread itself on the inside of the running belt. Walk for 2 minutes at very low speed (ca. 2 km/h) and vary your positions on the running belt, so that the oil under the belt is spread evenly.
Check the position of the running belt after the lubrication. The belt should be in a centre position on the rear roller (tail shaft). In case the belt need to be adjusted please follow the separate instruction.
After lubrication the oil message has to be terminated with "OPTION 01" (see optional functions). The device has no sensor and the oil message will not terminate automatically after lubrication!
The inside of the running belt has a fabric structure and stores the oil till the next interval.
Devices with UserTerminal & automatic Oil-Pump (models "R" for cycle & wheelchair)
Only some of the models H-P-COSMOS VENUS© "R", SATURN® "R" and ORBITER© "R" are equipped with an automatic controlled OIL-Pump and a little tank. The tank is located at the rear position of the machine, close to the drive motor.
The intervals for the automatic OIL-Pump can be programmed (optional functions) via the MCU UserTerminal of the device. Do not change the factory setting of the intervals without prior contact of H-P-COSMOS technical service.
An empty oil tank will be indicated by the code "E55" ("E 01" models with MCU 2) on the UserTerminal as well as a small light indicator at the front of the machine.
Refilling Oil-Tank: VENUS© / SATURN® / ORBITER©
Check if the red oil-level indicator lamp at the front of the machine does light also. If yes:
Remove bellow from upper frame.
Attention! Dangerous voltage and danger of being hurt when the device is open. Do not touch the parts inside the device!
Adjust an elevation of 25 %. Switch off the device on the main switch.
Unplug the mains plug and wait for about 1 minute!
The oil supply vessel (tank) with oil-level indicator can be found next to the drive motor of the device.
Refill original oil available at H-P-COSMOS (about 1 to 1.5 litres, no silicone oil), only.
Plug in the mains plug. Switch on device again.
Adjust an elevation of 0 % and connect bellow again by pressing it against upper frame.
Check if the red oil-level indicator lamp at the front of the machine does not light any more. If it does not light, the refilling was successful.
Erase the message with "OPTION 01".
Set back of oil message MCU 2 / MCU 3
Devices without UserTerminal
An external UserTerminal or a PC-software "Virtual UserTerminal" is required for this. Further instructions see "Devices with UserTerminal.
Devices with UserTerminal
After lubrication the oil message has to be terminated with "OPTION 01"
Control and Tightening of the Running Belt
The belt can loosen after some time of use or when it has been adjusted in a wrong way, so that a backlash occurs with every step between the driving shaft and the belt (slowing down of the belt at weight application through the step).
In this case check the belt tension as follows:
Open the motor hood in the front. Take care that nobody gets their hands into the motor.
Now press the D key to adjust a speed of 1 up to 1.5 km/h.
Stand on the running belt (if necessary with 2 people). Hold on to the side frame with both hands and try to block the running belt by stemming yourself against the running belt rotation with your feet.
Try to block the running belt for max. 10 seconds. The driving shaft and the motor shaft should not be turning during that time. Otherwise the running belt has to be tightened (or the driving belt).
If the running belt is being blocked for too long, then the motor regulation can switch off because of overcurrent, which will be indicated by an error display.
In this case, switch off the device for 5 minutes and then switch it on again.
The belt tension should not have more than 0.5 %, for otherwise it could lead to damages on the belt, on the shafting or the bearings!
Procedure:
The right belt tension is between 0.4 - 0.5 %. That means, that a length mark of 1000mm ( applied on the belt with a pen) on a loose running belt will expand to between 1004 and 1005mm at the right belt tension.

RearRoller (Tail sheave)
Through turning of the left and right adjustment and tightening screws (hex socket 8mm) to the right the correct belt tension will be obtained. The belt can be tightened until the shaft does not turn anymore when running belt is being blocked (see control of running belt tension).

Adjustment (centering) of the Running Belt
Attention! Dangerous capture area at the tail shaft at the back of the devices (belt re-entry zone)!
Take care not to be caught with long hair or loose clothes in the capture area of the tail shaft.
For safety reasons the procedure of adjustment has to be supervised by a second person who can press the emergency-stop in an emergency.
Before adjustment of the running belt the belt has to be lubricated, if necessary. Lubrication of the belt may have impact on the centering of the belt. Adjust the running belt while the device is in operation with the help of the left trimming screw at the tail shaft at the back (VENUS© and SATURN® at the front!) of the Running-Machine. Use the enclosed hex socket ( 8 mm ).
Operate Running-Machine at 12 km/h without elevation. Watch the running belt for at least 2 minutes.
The running belt should be in a centre position on the rear roller (tail shaft). If this is not the case please pay attention to the following points.
Move the running belt to the right by turning the trimming screw to the right.
Move the running belt to the left by turning the trimming screw to the left.
If the discrepancy is only minor the screw should only be turned max. ¼, in the case of major discrepancies with max. ½ a turn.
The running belt has to be observed after each alteration for at least 2 minutes. For the purpose of control operate the Running-Machine at 5 km/h and 20 km/h.
The procedure of adjustment is finished if the running belt stays in the centre of the rear roller (tail shaft) after having been operated at a speed of 12 km/h for some time (min. 4 min.).
Uphill run and different other running styles can lead to locomotion of the running belt. +/- 2cm are to be considered as an area of tolerance. As long as the running belt returns to the centre at a speed of 12 km/h it is not necessary to re-adjust. The running belt remains in the adjusted position for a period of months if it has been done correctly.
During "reverse of belt rotation" (downhill run) a readjustment of the belt position (centering) is required.
Through evenly turning the left and the right trimming screw to the right you can tighten the running belt if necessary. See point running belt tension!

Control and Tightening of the Driving Belt
Driving Belt with Poly-V-Belt system
The poly-v-belt (v-belt) is provided with a belt adjuster and requires tightening usually very seldom. The belt adjuster offers the possibility of re-adjustment.
The driving belt tension can be controlled according to point control of running belt tension.
Block the running belt at speed of 1 to 1.5 km/h.
No backlash must be between the motor shaft and the driving belt.
The noise (at higher speeds) and the straight position of the driving belt needs to be considered.
Driving Belt with Timing-Belt system
Timing belt drives have no automatic belt adjuster. The tension of the timing belt (depending on the model) needs to be adjusted by the manual belt adjuster or by changing the position of the drive motor.
The driving belt tension can be controlled according to point control of running belt tension:
Block the running belt at speed of 1 to 1.5 km/h.
No backlash must be between the motor shaft and the driving belt.
The noise (at higher speeds) and the straight position of the driving belt needs to be considered.
Hygiene, Cleansing, Cleansing of the Interior
For safety reasons switch off the device and pull the plug before cleansing, disinfecting and before opening it!
Pay attention to the instruction manual of the device.
K
Chemicals needed for application or cleansing have to be stored in appropriate reservoirs because of the danger of mixing them up.
Interior Cleansing is recommended in intervals of 6 months.
Unscrew the 5 screws of the front hood in order to lift it. Remove the hood by lifting it up. Remove bellow from upper frame. Models VENUS© and SATURN® do not have a front hood!
Clean the interior of the Running-Machine by removing the dirt with the help of a vacuum cleaner. Pay special attention to the ventilation net of the drive motor.
Cleansing and Adjustment of the Speed-Sensor / Light-Barrier
Depending on the model, the EPROM firmware version and the manufacturing date, the machines are equipped with:
no speed sensor (so no cleansing required)
speed sensor mounted at the back of the drive motor in a separate housing (especially some models VENUS©, SATURN®
and ORBITER©. Since they have a housing there is no cleansing required)
speed sensor (light barrier and slot-disk/incremental glass) mounted at the front of the drive motor. The light barrier of the drive motor is a pulse generator for the control unit.
The light barrier and the incremental glass should be cleansed carefully with a cloth moistened with alcohol in intervals of 6 - 12 months.
In "built in condition" of the glass you can also clean it with the help of a bristle brush which has been soaked in alcohol. Clean the optical elements in between the glass and the light barrier carefully.
Alternatively you can also use a spray (with a thin spraying canal) of fat-dissolving fluid (e.g. braking detergent). The optics of the light barrier will be cleansed by the pressure on the detergent when coming through the spraying canal.
When adjusting the light barrier take care to keep the following guidelines for the spaces between the glass and the casing of the light barrier:
Cleft axial: approx. 1 mm according to illustration
Cleft radial: approx. 1 mm left and right

1 mm
Furthermore the imaginary extension of the light barrier has to pass through the center of motor shaft.
Illustration 20: Adjustment of light barrier
Cleansing and Adjustment of the Light-Barrier at Belt-Re-entry-Zones
Especially some models H-P-COSMOS VENUS©, SATURN® and ORBITER© are equipped with light-barriers at the running belt re-entry zone (rear position and front position for the reverse of belt rotation). As a safety measurement the light barriers effect a quick-stop function when the light stream is interrupted by a hand, a falling towel, a coat and of course, also by dust at the glass and/or reflector of the light barrier.
To avoid unwanted switch off (quick stop), the light barrier and the reflector glass should be cleansed carefully with a cloth moistened with alcohol in intervals of 1 week, depending on the air and dust conditions in the room.
Adjustment (direction and focus) of the light barrier can be checked when it is dark in the room.
In case the cleansing of the light barrier does not result in success, you need to check and correct adjustment (direction and focus) of the light barrier. A special small screw driver is required for adjustment of the focus.

Mechanical / Noise Problems
In case you hear noises like knocking or rattling during the training please check if the machine has a firm stand and follow exactly the advises in the chapter "Mechanical Installation" in this manual.
Most time a false adjustment of the levelling sockets (adjustable "feet") at the rear of the Running-Machine are responsible for the knocking sound.
Running Belt Adjustment Problems
If the tension of the running belt is not correct it is difficult to keep the position of the belt centered.
In case of reverse direction of the running belt: It is normal that the belts needs to be re-adjusted every time when using this option. Check and follow exactly the advises in the chapter "Control and Tightening of the Running Belt" in this manual.
Fuses
The Running-Machines are equipped with an expulsion fuse at the front of the device / frontal section below the hood. The expulsion fuse for models QUASAR®, PULSAR®, VENUS© and SATURN® is located in the interior section.

No Start function / No Elevation function
Check OPTION 22. The Analog interface must be deactivated (OPTION 22 0) if you do not use analog remote devices via analog interface.
Interference Factor
Electrostatic Discharge
If the user moves around the devices they can be electrostatic charged with up to several thousand volts. If then the user touches a metal piece, keys or display, it can lead to an electrostatic discharge between the user and the device.
Electrostatic discharges can in certain cases result in an interference of the device.
Generally those electrostatic discharges are without harm for the user as well as for the device, but can be quite unpleasant. The main causes for electrostatic discharges are the choice of clothes, the sole of a shoe and the movement. Very dry air and many light fittings can also lead to the same results.
Solution: Try different clothes or shoes, humidify the air in the room, switch part of the light fittings off.
Please inform the manufacturer if you detect such an interference.
Source of Interference
The devices should not be installed near to e.g. an x-ray device, motors or transformer with high connection power, as the electric and magnetic interference can falsify measurements.
Very strong sources of interference (e.g. above the limit according to EMT) influence the functions of the device. High tension power lines nearby and electrical devices without c -sign and without a certificate of compliance for electro-magnetic-tolerance should be avoided as well.
Malfunctions of the Heart-Rate-Measurement System 789
Possible sources of interference:
Screens, computer, printer
Electric devices, electric motors, transformer
High-voltage transmission lines, also from trains
Strong fluorescent tubes near by
Central heating radiators
Other electric devices
In order to prevent the Running-Machine being interfered by such factors, place the device at some distance away from such interference sources. Do not rely on the indicated values if you suspect interference!
Please also pay attention to the instruction of the manufacturer 789 concerning interference.
13.8.1 Troubleshooting Heart-Rate-Measurement System 789
Press 7 | Activate: Acoustic Heart- Rate-signal | Press once: ON: Acoustic heart-rate-signal for every beat. This function is normally used to control the regularity of the heart rate or to find reasons for transmitting problems (like mobile phones or computer monitors). For detection do NOT use a POLAR transmitter belt! In this case it can be used to detect foreign interference sources. Press once again: OFF: No acoustic heart-rate-signal |
Malfunctions of the Interface RS 232
The most common causes for problem with the RS 232 – interface are:
Wrong connection cable between the Running-Machine and the periphery
Technical defects of the connection cable or male / female connector
False setting of protocols / driver at Running-Machine or periphery (ECG, PC, Ergospirometry)

Error Messages on the Inverter Drive ("Frequency Changer")
Many times malfunctions and error messages are caused by problems with the voltage power supply or lack of service (lubrication).
Check voltage supply. Do not use extension cords or multiway connectors! Connect the machine direct to the socket in the wall. Each machine should have an individual circuit.
Check mechanical parts for any malfunction. Check also for towels or other things which might interfere the drive system.
Check lubrication of the running belt and lubricate if required.
Also contact problems at connectors (loose connections) caused by vibrations can result in malfunctions. So please check cables and connectors for loose connections.
Depending on the model and manufacturing date the H-P-COSMOS machines are equipped with different inverter drives.
Error messages generated in response to error conditions are automatically stored in the frequency inverter’s memory. This memory is non-volatile, i.e. the error message information is not lost when the unit is switched off. The system stores several error messages in the order in which they are generated. These messages can be recalled from the error memory and displayed on the parameter unit display.
Error Messages on the Mitsubishi Inverter Drive
For the Mitsubishi Inverter you need a Mitsubishi OPERATOR Terminal incl. Display (available at H-P-COSMOS or at Mitsubishi Electric) or a PC / Notebook connected to the Inverter with a special interface cable and Mitsubishi interface operator. Detailed instructions see also Mitsubishi manual.
The frequency inverters have a large number of protective functions that protect the drive and the inverter itself from damage in the event of malfunctions or other problems.
When one of these protective functions activates in response to an error condition the frequency inverter output is disabled and the motor runs down without external control. The ALARM LED on the frequency inverter lights up, and an error message is displayed on the parameter unit.
You can then select the parameter unit’s MONITOR function to display the error message and the output frequency at the point at which the error condition was registered.
The error message code identifies the condition that triggered the protection function and the corresponding alarm. The Table contains the list of all the possible error codes together with the corresponding protection functions and suggestions for corrective action.

General Instructions / Safety
This instruction manual is part of the device and should always be accessible.
![]()
S
Exact observance of the instruction manual is a requirement for the appropriate operation of an H-P-COSMOS-device.
This sign reminds you of paying attention to the enclosed information and to the manual. It also reminds you of concerns which have to be considered for measurements and connection with other devices.
The safety of your subjects and the compliance to the mentioned accuracy of measurement can only be guaranteed, if the consumption goods, sensors and detectors, described in the instruction manual, are being used.
Absorption-, cleansing- and disinfecting chemicals are only to be kept in the appropriate reservoirs. At the connection of gas pressure container it has to be examined about its MOT-admissibility (TÜV) first.
Pull the plug before cleansing or disinfecting electric devices.
H-P-COSMOS guarantees for the safety. reliability and function of its devices only if:
installation, extension, alteration and repair is performed by people authorised by H-P-COSMOS
the room for installation corresponds to the DIN and VDE installation directives.
the device is plugged in at a socket with a protection system.
the room for installation corresponds to the requirements of the surroundings for the device.
the device after the instruction is being used in accordance with the instruction manual.
The entry of fluid into the device has to be removed immediately by a customer service of H-P-COSMOS and a safety examination has to be performed.
Damaged socket connections, wires and pressure control switches have to be replaced instantly by trained personnel or by persons authorised by H-P-COSMOS.
Instructions for Safety and Operation
The following directives correspond to the in the Federal Republic of Germany acknowledged safety model. Please consider that there may be national discrepancies for other countries.
Electric Safety
Safety Classes
In order to protect the athlete and the training personnel the association of German electro-technicians Inc, (VDE) has published special directives for medical used rooms and electro-medical devices.
Devices with a power supply therefore have to, in order to prevent the passing on of the mains voltage over to touchable metal pieces, be equipped with not only a reliable isolation of the parts being under voltage but also additional safety precautions. The VDE-association divides it into so called safety classes.
Of the, for electro-medical devices, licensed safety classes are mainly used the safety class I (i.e. safety precautions with protective wiring), and the safety class II, (i.e. safety measures without protective wiring but with double isolation):
Devices of the safety class I are devices, where the metallic casing-parts are connected with the protective wire of the line net via the safety contact. In the case of an isolation error the inserted fuse element switches off.
Subject Surroundings
The surroundings of the subject should have a gap of 1.5 m as it has been proofed by experience; this has been laid down here as the surrounding.
