Marketing Statement Regarding Heart Rate Acquisition on the
Star Trac Spinning
®
Computer:
Star Trac takes the acquisition and accuracy of heart rate very seriously and has developed a system to
perform to the best ability that technology will allow. Star Trac has engineered a product that has taken
every precauti
on possible to acquire an accurate heart rate signal as well as eliminate “crosstalk”
interference that may be caused by other monitors being placed too close together.
To achieve the best possible results from your Spinning
®
Computer, please abide by the following
important parameters:
Users must wear Coded Transmitters (such as Polar
©
T61, Polar
©
T31C or Polar
©
WearLink
when operating the Spinner
®
bike with the Spinning
®
Computer.
Only Coded Transmitter will allow
a “one to one” relationship with the Spinning
®
Computer and will minimize
potential “crosstalk”
interference. If users wear non-coded straps, there is significantly increased potential for
“crosstalk” which will cause erratic heart rate display, loss of heart rate display and
significantly
reduce the consistency of accurate heart rate reporting.
Bikes should be spaced so that the side-to-side distance from the Spinning
®
Computer on one
bike and the Spinning
®
Computer on bikes to the left or right is at least 36 inches (91.4 cm). In
addition, the distance from the bottom of the Spinning
®
Computer on one bike to the seat of the
bike in front of it (where another rider and his/her transmitter would be seated) should be at least
24 inches (61 cm) in order to significantly reduce chances for inte
rference. See the diagram on
page 21 regarding bike layout.
