1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The HAC is 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 HAC offers 3 pulse settings on the dis-
play so that the pulse can be shown with every other function.
The HAC also has a storage function which offers the pos-
sibility 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 HAC is 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 HAC must be properly
attached to the handlebar bracket which holds the receiver for the
wireless transmitter.
2.1 Inserting the batteries
When you purchase your HAC the depending parts need
to be supplied with batteries.
Note: please do not remove the foil inside the battery case of the
HAC4000. Insert battery below the foil.
First insert the batteries type CR2032 in the HAC , the hand-
lebar bracket and in the transmitter belt. Unscrew counter clockwise
the screwed cap on the reverse side of the HAC /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 doesn’t 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. For this open the 4 screws of the bottom section.
Then turn upper part through 90° and assemble it again with the
4 screws of the bottom section.
Remove the backing foil from the underside of the handlebar moun-
ting, 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 transmitter
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 transmitter’s 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 transmitter,
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 trans-
mitter 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 handlebar
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 HAC (see chap. 4.1, function ‚Cc‘).

Transmitter
2.5 Attaching the HAC
to the handlebar bracket
(the HAC must be attached to the handlebar bracket in
order to be used as a bike computer)
Remove the HAC from the wristband through turning
counter-clockwise. Insert it in the handlebar bracket and turn it
clockwise until it engages.
To check if the HAC has 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 HAC from the handlebar bracket, turn it
counter-clockwise.
3. USING THE BUTTONS
The HAC display 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 func-
tions 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 count-
down 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 HAC has 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) swit-
ches 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 HAC is equipped with a barometric altitude measure-
ment 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 HAC uses 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 HAC uses the actual (displayed) altitude
when you start a new recording.
PC – PC-transmission mode
Start with UL- and LL-button short simultane-
ously
By pressing UL- and LL-button short simulta-
neously 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
HAC stores data for the pc evaluation (2, 5, 10 or 20 se-
conds) can be adjusted. The maximum recording time is depending
on this interval (2/5 sec. interval = nearly 6 hours recording time, 10
sec. interval = nearly 12 hours recording time and 20 sec. interval =
nearly 24 hours recording time), see also chap. 6.1.
CI 1 – Circumference Bike 1
Set with UL- or LL-button
Standard value = 2080mm
Setting range min. = 500 mm,
max. = 3000 mm

37-590 26 x 1 3/8 2133 mm 25-622 700 x 25C 2146 mm
32-630 27 x 1 1/4 2199 mm 28-622 700 x 28C 2149 mm
32-622 700 x 32C 2174 mm
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)
CI 2 – Circumference Bike 2
Set with UL- or LL-button
Standard value = 2080mm
Setting range min. = 500 mm,
max.= 3000 mm
SEX – sex

calculation and the calorie consumption.
W tot – total weight
Set with UL- or LL-button
Standard value = 75 kg
Setting range min. = 30 kg / 66 lbs,
max.= 200 kg / 441 lbs
The total weight (body weight and material, e.g. equipment and
bicycle) is necessary to calculate output required (the output-func-
tion is only displayed when used as a bike-computer) and calorie
consumption.
In on/oFF –
CICLO
Zone®-calculation on/off
Select with UL- or LL-button
See also chap. 6.7 (
CICLO
Zone®).
If ‘In’ is set ‘oFF’ next display shows ‘HL 1’
(upper limit for heart rate, see right page).
For an exact calculation of the
CICLO
Zone® 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
CICLO
Zone®-calculation.
AGE – age
Set with UL- or LL-button
Standard value = 30 years
Setting range = 0 – 99 years
The age is needed for the
CICLO
Zone®-
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
CICLO
Zone®-calculation.
In order to calculate the
CICLO
Zone® position the chest belt
correctly, take up a rest position (remain seated and relaxed) and
start the
CICLO
Zone® calculation (press
short UR-button, after setting the fitness level).
The HAC heart rate monitor will then
start to time 5 minutes. During this time, stay
seated, relaxed and calm, as the HAC
will 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 minutes a
signal tones. Now
CICLO
Zone®-calculation is ready.
(To premature quit the
CICLO
Zone®-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
CICLO
Zone®). 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 below the
set limits) see chap. 5.3. These limits must also be set when using
the heart rate time manager and the heart rate bargraph (see chap.
6. “special functions“) .
HL 1 – heart rate lower limit 1

1. Countdown 1 / Countdown 2 is a stop-watch which runs
backwards (see chap. 5.2, “countdown function“). After starting, the
HAC gives a short signal when CD 1 reaches 0. Then CD
2 starts automatically, when it reaches 0 it gives short signals for 20
sec. If only one countdown is necessary, the other must be set to 0.
2. These settings are necessary when using the heart rate time
manager (see chap.6. “special functions”).

5. FUNCTIONS
Important:
For the HAC to calculate and indicate all values (and
store them for the pc evaluation), a recording must be star-
ted (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 recor-
ding).
To stop the recording press again both left buttons simulta-
neous 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 HAC is equipped with 2 modes: ‚bike mode‘ (when
you insert the HAC on the handlebar bracket it automatical-
ly 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 HAC switches 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 HAC is
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 display
of the HAC can be chosen with the UR-button, those
shown on the lower part of the display can be chosen with
the LR-button. The sub-functions can be chosen with the
accompanying left button (UL- or LL-button).

When used for heart rate:
The HAC4000 has a coloured graphic in the
middle of the display (7 blue boxes and 2 red
boxes). If the current heart rate reaches the set lower heart rate limit,
the first (left) blue box turns black. Depending on the intensity of the
current heart rate, all blue boxes turn black from left to right. If the
current heart rate is above the set upper heart rate limit, the two red
boxes will also turn black, to show that your heart rate is out of the
limit.
This graphic helps you to control your heart rate, even when upper
or lower display show other functions.
When used for cadence:
Shows a black graphic in the middle of the display (9 black boxes).
If the current cadence reaches the set lower cadence limit, the first
(left) black box turns blue. Depending on the intensity of the current
cadence, all black boxes turn blue from left to right. If the current
cadence is above the set upper cadence limit, the two right boxes
will turn red, to show that your cadence is out of the limit.
This graphic helps you to control your cadence, even when upper or
lower display show other functions.
Heart rate alarm

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 travel-
led distance are stored in short intervals (every 2, 5, 10 or 20 sec.,
interval chosen in setting mode 1). This information can be trans-
mitted 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 beginning:
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 (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.
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.).
Total memory time and max. recording time:
2 sec. intervall – total 12 hours, each tour max. 5:59 hours
5 sec. intervall – total. 30 hours, each tour max. 5:59 hours
10 sec. intervall – total 60 hours, each tour max. 11:59 hours
20 sec. intervall – total 120 hours, each tour max. 23:59 hours
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 count-
down 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 star-
ted. 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 (coincidentally
the recording is started).
- The displays shows the time difference in comparison to the cho-
sen tour. If it is a negative value, you are riding slower as on the
chosen tour.
- When the course is finished, the HAC stops auto-
matically and indicates the total difference in time. To cancel
the comparison premature, press again UL- and LL-button simul-
taneous 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 HAC it is possible to set markings during a re-
cording (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 measu-
ring is started – by pressing UL- and LL-button short and simultane-
ously.
