1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The HAC4PROis a multi-functional device which unifies a
heart rate monitor, an altimeter, and a wireless cycling computer
in one. That is why it is the ideal device for monitoring training.
It has a 2-part display so that the functions shown on the upper
display can be combined with those shown on the lower display.
Furthermore, the HAC4PROoffers 3 pulse settings on the
display so that the pulse can be shown with every other function.
The HAC4PROalso has a storage function which offers the
possibility to compare tours (evaluation is possible with any PC
equipped with at least Windows 98, 2000, NT and XP with the
accessory unit HACtronic).
Persons who wear a cardiac pacemaker should contact
their physician before using this device to measure their
pulse!
2. OPERATION
Basically, the following applies:
- Heart rate measurement is only possible when the breast belt is
properly put on and the HAC4PROis not farther away from
the breast belt transmitter than 60 cm.
- In order to be used as a cycling computer, the transmitter must
be properly attached and the HAC4PROmust be properly
attached to the handlebar bracket which holds the receiver for
the wireless transmitter.
2.1 Inserting the batteries
When you purchase your HAC4PROthe depending parts
need to be supplied with batteries. First insert the batteries type
CR2032 in the HAC4PRO, the handlebar bracket and in the
transmitter belt. Unscrew counter clockwise the screwed cap on
the reverse side of the HAC4PRO/transmitter belt (and at top
of handlebar bracket) with the aid of a coin. Insert the battery with
plus pole facing up and close screw caps again.
Open the battery cap of the speed transmitter also with the aid of
a coin. Insert battery type 23A with plus pole facing up (to battery
cap) and close cap again.
Do not over twist battery caps!
2.2 Putting on the breast belt
Hang the transmitter belt in the
elastic breast belt and then put the
breast belt around your (naked)
upper torso. The transmitter
(plastic part with inscription)
should be placed above the
middle of your upper stomach
region, slightly below the breast
and the inscription on the
transmitter (when seen from the
front) must be legible (pictured).
Pull the belt tight so that it always is in contact with your body
when moving and so that it can not slip. If the breast belt is not
long enough, a longer breast belt can be acquired from your local
bicycle dealer.
If your skin is too cold or too dry, the electrical contact between
the skin and the electrodes can be so minimal that an accurate
measurement is not possible. It often helps to wet the electrodes
and the skin where they are to be attached with your finger (do
not wet the transmitter but only the rubber parts on the left and
on the right). If this doesnt help, one should train until they start
sweating. You will get the best contact by means of a special
electrode-gel (available at your local pharmacy).
2.3 Attaching the handlebar bracket and speed
transmitter
The handlebar mounting can be installed on a stem. To do this
the top section of the handlebar mounting must be removed from
the bottom section. To make it easier to remove the top section
carefully push the sides of the bottom section upwards slightly.
Then turn both parts through 90 and assemble them again until
the snap-on mounting engages.
Remove the backing foil from the underside of the handlebar
mounting, place the handlebar mounting in the required position
on the handlebar (or on the stem) and press it down slightly.
Secure it with the O ring or with the cable ties
Attach the transmitter by using
the rubber shim and the cable-
ties to the front side of the right
fork or the back side of the left
fork (the flat side of the trans-
mitter must face towards the
inside) no further than 60 cm
away from the computer. Do not
yet pull the cable-ties tight. Make sure that the transmitters
battery cap is facing up and that the transmitter and computer are
both attached to the same side of the bicycle.
Attach the magnet to the spokes directly opposite to the trans-
mitter, so that the magnet points directly to the elongated marking
on the flat side of the transmitter. Be careful not to over wind the
screw for attaching the magnet.
Turn the transmitter so that the distance between the
transmitter and the magnet is not more than 2 mm.
2.4 Attaching the cadence (optional)
Plug in the cadence cable on the respective place of the handle-
bar bracket. Wind the cable in a helical way round the frame in
direction to the pedal (on the left side of the bike).
Mount the sensor (on the end of the cable) on a suitable place
opposite the crank (as near as possible) and fasten it with the
cable ties. Mount the cadence magnet opposite the marking of
the sensor (distance between cadence magnet and sensor max.
5 mm).
If the cadence should be used, this function must be set 'on' in
the setting mode 1 of the HAC4PRO(see chap. 4.1, function
'Cc').

Transmitter
2.5 Attaching the HAC4PRO
to the handlebar bracket
(the HAC4PROmust be attached to the handlebar bracket in
order to be used as a bike computer)
Remove the HAC4PROfrom the wristband through turning
counter-clockwise. Insert it in the handlebar bracket and turn it
clockwise until it engages.
To check if the HAC4PROhas been attached correctly, please
turn the wheel a couple of times to see if the computer receives a
signal.
Last, but not least, pull the cable-ties of the speed transmitter
tight and cut off what is too long.
To remove the HAC4PROfrom the handlebar bracket, turn it
counter-clockwise.
3. USING THE BUTTONS
The HAC4PROdisplay is divided into two parts: an upper part
and a lower part. One function is shown in each area, so that two
functions can be read simultaneously. This way the possible
functions on the displays can be combined as desired.
The two upper buttons are for the functions in the upper display,
the two lower buttons are for the functions in the two lower
displays.
The following applies: The right button calls up main functions,
the left button calls up the accompanying sub-functions.
The buttons are abbreviated as follows in the operating
instructions:
Upper Right button: UR-button
Lower Right button: LR-button
Upper Left button: UL-button
(this button can be used to increase values = Plus-button)
Lower Left button: LL-button
(this button can be used to decrease values = Minus-button)
Start/Stop-button:
The functions stopwatch and
countdown can be started/stopped
by short pressing the start/stop-
button (while depending function is
shown in the display).
Short pressing means 1 second
pressing, long pressing means 4 or 6
seconds pressing (as specified).
Every button press raises a short
signal tone.
4. BASIC SETTINGS
The HAC4PROhas two setting modes (these will be called
mode 1 and mode 2 in the following instructions). To switch to
setting mode 1, press the UR-button for 4 seconds. To switch to
setting mode 2, press the LR-button for 4 seconds. In order to
quit a setting mode premature, press either the UR- or LR-button
again for 4 seconds.
The following applies to both setting modes:
- Pressing the respective button (mode 1: UR; mode 2: LR)
switches from one setting to the next setting.
- The UL-button and the LL-button change the settings (the UL-
button increases, the LL-button decreases) and shifts or
switches off.
If UL- or LL-button are pressed longer than 1 second, the value
changes faster.
4.1 setting mode 1
Press the UR-button for 4 seconds:
AH Altitude Home (Primary setting
for altitude measurement)
Set with the UL- or LL-button
Standard value = ----
Setting range min. = -200m or ft x10;
max.= 9000 m / 2952 ft x10
The HAC4PROis equipped with a barometric altitude
measurement which automatically adjusts to changes in
temperature, however it may show a variation due to changes in
the air-pressure (e.g. during the night). In order to compensate
these variations, you may set an altitude when starting (e.g. your
home, if you always start out from there), which the
HAC4PROuses when you start a new training round
(recording). This setting should be changed if you start from
somewhere else (e.g. vacation). If the setting is not adjusted
(display ----), the HAC4PROuses the actual (displayed)
altitude when you start a new recording.
PC PC-transmission mode
Start with UL- and LL-button short
simultaneously
By pressing UL- and LL-button short
simultaneously the transmission to the pc is
started (for this you need the interface HACtronic an optional
accessory ).
During the transmission the lower display counts from 0 to 100%.
PC-Interval Set memory interval
Set with the UL- or LL-button
Standard value = 20 sec.
Setting range = 2, 5, 10 or 20 sec.
Here the memory interval, in which the
HAC4PROstores data for the pc evaluation (2, 5, 10 or 20
seconds) can be adjusted.

Measurement of the wheel circumference (U)
(for more precise adjustment):
Make a marker on the front tire and on the floor (e.g. with chalk).
Move the bike straight ahead by exactly one tire rotation (for a
more precise measurement ensure tire pressures are correct and
be seated on the bike) and mark the location on the floor. Now
measure the distance exactly between the two markers on the
floor to give you the wheel circumference (in mm)

CICLOInZone-calculation on/off
Select with UL- or LL-button
See also chap. 6.7 (CICLOInZone).
If In is set oFF next display shows HL 1
(upper limit for heart rate, see right page).
For an exact calculation of the CICLOInZone it is necessary
to insert the personal data relative to sex, body weight, age and
fitness level.
If In is set on following display appears:
W body weight
Set with UL- or LL-button
Standard value = 70 kg
Setting range min. = 30 kg / 66 lbs,
max.= 200 kg / 441 lbs
The body weight is needed for the
CICLOInZone-calculation.
AGE age
Set with UL- or LL-button
Standard value = 30 years
Setting range = 0 99 years
The age is needed for the
CICLOInZone-calculation.
Fit Fitnesslevel
Set with UL- or LL-button
Standard value = 2
Setting range = 1 4, corresponding to the
following levels:
1 poor fitness
2 average fitness
3 good fitness
4 high fitness
The fitness level is needed for the CICLOInZone-calculation.
In order to calculate the CICLOInZone position the chest belt
correctly, take up a rest position (remain seated and relaxed) and
start the CICLOInZone calculation
(press short UR-button, after setting the
fitness level).
The HAC4PROheart rate monitor will
then start to time 5 minutes. During this time,
stay seated, relaxed and calm, as the
HAC4PROwill measure the minimum
heart rate reached during this period (heart rate at rest) and will
store this value for the subsequent calculation. After the 5 minu-
tes a signal tones. Now CICLOInZone-calculation is ready.
(To premature quit the CICLOInZone-calculation press short
UR-button).
Now the lowest (measured) heart rate
appears in the display.
By again short pressing UR-button following
display appears (back to setting mode):
HL 1 heart rate upper limit 1
Set with UL- or LL-button
Standard value = 180 bpm (beats per
minute) or the personal upper limit calculated
with CicloInzone
Setting range min. = 30 bpm; max. 240 bpm
In order to better control your training, 2 different heart rate limits
(lower and upper limits) can be set (or can be calculated with
CICLOInZone). In setting mode 2 you can choose which of
these limits you want to use for your current training. To activate
the acoustic heart rate alarm (when current heart is above or be-
low the set limits) see chap. 5.3. These limits must also be set
when using the heart rate time manager and the heart rate bar-
graph (see chap. 6. special functions) .

5. FUNCTIONS
Important:
For the HAC4PRO to calculate and indicate all values
(and store them for the pc evaluation), a recording must be
started (see chap. 6.1).
To start the recording press both left buttons (UL- and LL-
button) simultaneous for 4 sec. (the mountain symbol in
the display ' ' starts blinking as a sign of a running
recording).
To stop the recording press again both left buttons simul-
taneous 4 sec. (mountain symbol stops blinking).
All minimum, maximum and average values (displayed as MIN /
MAX / AV), except average and maximum speed, and all daily
values (DAY,) except daily travelling time and kilometres, are only
calculated when the recording is started (see chap. 6.1).
If the recording is not started at the beginning of the current
training, the values of the sub-functions doesn't show the current
values, they show the values of the last recording.
The HAC4PROis equipped with 2 modes: 'bike mode' (when
you insert the HAC4PROon the handlebar bracket it
automatically switches to the bike-mode) and 'no-bike mode'
(e.g. while running or skiing). By short pressing both right buttons
(UR- and LR-button), the HAC4PROswitches to the bike
mode for 5 minutes, even when it is not on the handlebar
bracket. This way you can recall the bike values at any time.
Not all functions are available in all modes. If the HAC4PROis
used without being on the handlebar bracket ('no-bike mode'),
some functions are missing.
If a small appears on the right side of the display, the indicated
values apply to Bike 1. In order to display the values for Bike 2,
press both right buttons (UR- and LR-button) simultaneous short
(the changeover is only possible if current speed = 0). A small
will appear on the left side of the display. To switch back to Bike
1, press again both right buttons simultaneous short, and the
display will show .
The main functions shown on the upper part of the dis-
play of the HAC4PRO can be chosen with the UR-but-
ton, those shown on the lower part of the display can be
chosen with the LR-button. The sub-functions can be cho-
sen with the accompanying left button (UL- or LL-button).
The following applies for all sub-functions:
Sub-functions are displayed for 10 seconds, then the main
function appears again. To premature quit the sub-function, press
short the UL- or LL-button.

lower than 2,8 V, display shows bat low
every 5 sec.
Battery should then be changed.
Power-saving mode
(Power down mode, see setting mode 1,
chap. 4.1)
The HAC4PROcan be switched into
power-saving mode, i.e. the display will go
blank, however it retains all stored data
(apart from time and date). This mode is appropriate e.g. when
changing the battery, or when the HAC4PROis not used for a
longer period.
To switch the HAC4PROinto the power saving mode, choose
function Pd in setting mode 1. Then press UL- and LL-button
short simultaneous.
To leave the power saving mode, press any button.
6. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
6.1 Information memory function (recording)
Important: For the HAC4PRO to calculate and indicate all
values (and store them for the pc evaluation), a recording
must be started (see below).
The HAC4PROcan store information from max. 120 hours
training (when memory interval is set to 20 sec.). For this a
recording must be started (by pressing UL- and LL-button
simultaneous for 4 sec.). During this recording all important
information such as heart rate, altitude, temperature, cadence,
time, speed, output and travelled distance are stored in short
intervals (every 2, 5, 10 or 20 sec., interval chosen in setting
mode 1). This information can be transmitted to a PC (with the
optional available interface HACtronic and its programs). On
the PC you can show these data e.g. on graphics, make an eva-
luation, print statistics and so on.
The memory is a ring buffer, i.e. if it is full, it starts from the be-
ginning: the first stored tour is overwritten, then the second and
so on.
When a recording is started, the symbol ' ' starts blinking in
the lower display and blinks until the recording is stopped
manually by pressing again UL- and LL-button simultaneous for
4 sec. (or stops automatically, see below).
When a recording is started, all minimum, maximum, average and
daily values are set to 0 and current altitude changes to the value
set by 'AH' (altitude home, see setting mode 1; if AH is not set,
current altitude remains unchanged).
The tours stored in the memory can't be deleted, they can only
be overwritten by new tours.
Note: All minimum, maximum and average values (display-
ed as MIN / MAX / AV), except average and maximum
speed, and all daily values (DAY,) except daily travelling
time and kilometres, are only calculated when the recor-
ding is started.
If the recording is not started at the beginning of the current
training, the display doesn't indicate the current values it
indicates the values of the last (recorded) training.
In order to save memory space and battery, the recording stops
automatically after a certain period (e.g. 24 hours when memory
interval is set to 20 sec.).
6.2 Heart rate/ time manager (HTM)
The HTM is turned on/off in the setting mode 2 (see chap. 4.2 ).
To start/stop the HTM press short start/stop-button when
display shows countdown function (in the lower display).
In order to use the HTM the following values must be entered in
the setting mode:
Upper and lower heart rate limit 1
Upper and lower heart rate limit 2
Countdown 1
Countdown 2
The HTM allows an interval training in 2 consecutive time intervals
(Countdown 1 and 2) and with 2 different heart rate limits (heart
rate limit 1 and 2).
Example:
Set values:
Lower heart rate limit 1 = 120
Upper heart rate limit 1 = 160
Countdown 1 = 30 min.
Lower heart rate limit 2 = 80
Upper heart rate limit 2 = 120
Countdown 2 = 5 min.
12
By starting the countdown 1 you can train for 30 min. within the
heart rate limit 1. After these 30 min. a short signal tones and
countdown 2 is starting (with heart rate limit 2). Now you can
recuperate within the time of countdown 2 and then train again
with countdown 1 and so on.
When one countdown is finished, a short signal tones and the
next countdown starts automatically. The countdowns are
starting consecutively, until this function is stopped by short
pressing the start/stop-button.
The countdowns are only counting, when the current heart rate is
within the depending heart rate limit. If the current heart rate is
above or below this limit, the countdown pauses automatically
until the current heart rate is again within the set limit.
6.3 Recuperating heart rate
This function can help you to define your own physical fitness.
The recuperating heart rate is measured 3 minutes after this
function is started. The more your heart rate recuperates (= the
lower it is), the better is your physically fitness. This measurement
can only be used, when a recording is started (see chap. 6.1).
Example:
Current heart rate has reached 170 e.g. after a long ascent. By
short and simultaneous pressing UL- and LL-button this function
is started. A short signal tones at the start. To get an exact
measurement, stay calm and relaxed for the next 3 minutes. After
these 3 minutes, the signal tones again and the measurement is
complete.
Now the measured recuperating heart rate can be indicated in
the sub-function of function 'current heart rate' in the upper
display (see chap. 5.1).
There the upper display indicates the heart rate at start time and
the lower display indicates the recuperating heart rate (measured
3 minutes after the start). This measurement can be done as
often as desired (and can also be shown graphically on the PC-
evaluation).
6.4 Time / distance comparison
This function allows you to compare training rounds over the
same course. The display shows if you are actually faster or
slower than the training round you are comparing.
Using this function:
- First choose the tour (see 5.2) you would like to compare.
- The course must be identical to the comparison course.
- Start the comparison at the beginning of the tour by pressing
the UL- and LL-button simultaneously for 4 seconds (coinci-
dentally the recording is started).
- The displays shows the time difference in comparison to the
chosen tour. If it is a negative value, you are riding slower as on
the chosen tour.
- When the course is finished, the HAC4PRO stops automatically
and indicates the total difference in time. To cancel the
comparison premature, press again UL- and LL-button
simultaneous for 4 sec. (coincidentally the recording is
stopped).
- In order to compare tours, these tour must be previously
ridden (and stored). The information from any course can be
stored and compared.
Note: A chosen tour stays chosen until the comparison function
shows '----' again (even when in between other functions are
shown on the display).
6.5 Heart rate limit/time memory
The following functions are possible by using the set heart rate
limits:
- Define two different heart rate limits and choose one of them
for your current training.
- Display your current heart rate within these limits on a heart
rate graphics (see 5.3).
- The heart rate limit/time memory shows the training time within,
above and below the set limits (see 5.2).
- If the heart rate alarm is activated, a signal tone warns when
the current heart rate is above or below the set heart rate limits
( see 5.3).
6.6 Setting markings
With the HAC4PROit is possible to set markings during a
recording (distance of min. 2 minutes between two markings
when memory interval is set to 20 sec.) These markings are
helpful when using the pc-evaluation (with the interface
HACtronic). With this you can mark special points during the
training, e.g. when having a break, reaching the top of a mountain
and so on.
Markings are set in the same way as recuperating heart rate
measuring is started by pressing UL- and LL-button short and
simultaneously.
6.7 CICLOInZone-Philosophy and use
CICLOInZone is a solution for the very best personalisation
of your training routine. It is possible to calculate the optimum
training threshold with the CICLOInZone function on the
basis of your personal data and your pulse rate when at rest.
CICLOInZone is the ideal solution for personalised cardio
training applied to any sport, from jogging and cross-country
running to road and indoor cycling.
Improve your fitness? Lose weight? Train whilst always taking
your health into consideration? Everyone will find the correct aim
to follow in their training. But how do you train to achieve those
aims in the most efficient possible manner? How do you find the
right intensity of effort during the training? CICLOInZone is
the optimum training ZONE for effort, resistance and weight loss.
What does CICLOInZone do?
It calculates the optimum training zone for effort, resistance and
weight loss.
The values vary from person to person and they offer a valid
training support - always staying between 70% and 85% of the
maximum heart rate.
(+/- 5% of tolerance, taking into consideration the actual heart
rate when at rest and the level of training).
The question of burning fat is seen in the correct light with
CICLOInZone on the basis of the personal data collected.
