Heart Rate Monitoring
Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)
The 1150 Series units are heart rate controlled and come stan-
dard with stainless steel pulse hand grips. To activate, gently
grasp both hand grips to obtain a heart rate reading.
Note: It is recommended to wear a chest strap for Heart Rate
control program as it is more accurate. If you wear a chest
strap and use hand grips at the same time for heart rate
monitoring purpose, please note the console will take the
measurement of the chest strap.
Operating Tips:
If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand
pulse option, we recommend the following suggestions:
Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching the
contact area of each hand pulse grip.
Maintain an even pressure on the grips.
Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.
Chest Strap (Standard)
The 1150 Series equipped a built-in receiver and a chest strap
for your heart rate monitoring. To get an accurate reading us-
ing these devices, you will need to be within three feet of the
console, and a minimum of four feet from others using a heart
rate monitoring device.
Note: The transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too
close to other heart rate monitoring equipment.
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console
unit of the Diamondback 1150 Series equipment. While using heart
rate control modes, the computer monitors the exact measurement
of and control over the activity if the heart. Heart rate frequency is
displayed while the computer continually compares heart rate to
the preprogrammed personal data. The computer adjusts wattage
(load) to maintain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.
How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter
1. Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
2. Adjust the band length so that the fit is snug, but not too tight.
3. Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
4. Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle
(breasts).
5. Pull unit away from chest by stretching the belt and moistening
the conductive electrode strips located next to the buckles.
Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off
when it is not connected to your body. However, as moisture may
activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter to prolong
battery life.
Important: It is not safe to exceed 95% of your maximum heart
rate while exercising. Due to this safety reason the console will
shut down and reset if the heart rate exceeds 95% of your
maximum heart rate.
