Exercise Heart Rate Sensor Introduction
2
Wearing the Transmitter Strap
The electrode areas that are on the reverse side of the transmitter strap detect the signals
from the cardiac muscle.
1. Wet the electrode areas under running water and make sure that they are well moist-
ened.
2. Attach the transmitter to the connector snaps on the transmitter strap.
3. Adjust the strap length to fit snugly and comfortably around your chest just below the
chest muscles.
Transmitter Strap Options
• Option One - Under a Shirt: Follow steps 1, 2, and 3 above. Put the strap around your
chest and connect the strap hook to the loop in the other end of the strap. Make sure that
the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the transmitter is in a cen-
tral location and the Polar logo on the transmitter is upright (see Option One).
• Option Two - Over a Shirt: To use the transmitter over the top of a T-shirt or tank top,
follow steps 1, 2, and 3 above. Put the strap around your chest on top of the shirt and
connect the strap hook to the loop. Then, wet the shirt beneath the electrode areas of the
strap so that the shirt and the skin beneath the shirt are well moistened.
• Option Three - Hold in Both Hands: Wet the electrode areas and connect the trans-
mitter to the strap, but hold the strap with both hands so that the palm area of each hand
touches the wet electrode areas. [NOTE: With this option, the data quality may vary.]
Operation
• Connect the Exercise Heart Rate Sensor to your PASCO interface. (NOTE: You may
want to connect the sensor to a PASPORT Extension Cable (PS-2500) before connect-
ing it to the interface.)
• Start the data acquisition software and begin collecting data.
