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rm,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inuence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traininginuencesthedecreaseinmaximumheartrate.Individualsofthesameagecouldhavedifferentmaximum

heartrates.Itismoreaccuratetondthisvaluebycompletingastresstestthanbyusinganagerelatedformula.

Yourat-restheartrateisinuencedbyendurancetraining.Thetypicaladulthasanatrestheartrateofapproximately72

BPM, whereas highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.
