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 me-

dia 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o󰀨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di󰀨erent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.

TheHeartRatetableisanestimateofwhatHeartRateZone(HRZ)ise󰀨ectivetoburnfatandimproveyourcardiovas-

cular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is

shown.

Themoste󰀩cientproceduretoburnfatduringexerciseistostartataslowpaceandgraduallyincreaseyourintensityun-

tilyourheartratereachesbetween50–70%ofyourmaximumheartrate.Continueatthatpace,keepingyourheartrate

in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.
