Remote Heart Rate Monitor

MonitoringyourHeartRateisoneofthebestprocedurestocontroltheintensityofyourexercise.ContactHeartRate(CHR)

sensors are installed to send your heart rate signals to the Console. The Console can also read telemetry HR signals from a

Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that operates in the 4.5kHz - 5.5kHz range.

Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from

Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR

compatible model. (Coded

POLAR

heart rate straps such as POLAR

OwnCode

chest straps

will not work with this equipment.)

If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult

your doctor before using a wireless chest strap or other telemetric heart

rate monitor.

NOTICE: To prevent interference with the telemetry HR receiver, do not place

any personal electronic devices in the left side of the media tray.

Contact Heart Rate Sensors

Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel parts

of the Handlebars. To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the top and

the bottom of the sensors. Hold ﬁrm, but not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors for the

Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.

Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now

validate the heart rate. Many factors inﬂuence the ability of the sensors to detect your heart rate signal:

• Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with

pulse detection. Slight hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.

• Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.

• Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.

• Theproximityofotherelectronicmachinescangenerateinterference.

If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors and try again.

Heart Rate Calculations

Yourmaximumheartrateusuallydecreasesfrom220BeatsPerMinute(BPM)inchildhoodtoapproximately160BPMby

age60.Thisfallinheartrateisusuallylinear,decreasingbyapproximatelyoneBPMforeachyear.Thereisnoindicationthat

It is more accurate to ﬁnd this value by completing a stress test than by using an age related formula.
