WIRELESS CHESTBELT PULSE SENSOR
Your pulse rate can also be measured by a chestbelt type
wireless pulse sensor.
In place of the earlobe pulse sensor, the EC-5000 can also receive your pulse
signal transmitted from a particular type of wireless chestbelt sensor. The
"Wireless Pulse Sensor Kit" (an optional item) is recommended for the cus-
tomers who may feel inconvenience in picking up the pulse rate from the
earlobe.
When your pulse rate is monitored through the wireless chestbelt sensor, the
pulse symbol on the graph screen is converted to the one shown in the draw-
ing.
Attaching the chestbelt sensor
The chestbelt sensor should be put around your chest with two elec-
trodes in contact with your body at the center.
For further information, please refer to the Manual enclosed in the
"Wireless Heart Rate Sensor Kit" (an optional item).
Function of wireless chestbelt sensor
The wireless chestbelt sensor is a simplified and compact electrocardiograph
as widely used in hospitals on the same principle. At hospitals, electrodes are
attached to several parts of the body, and a cardiogram is determined on the
basis of potential differences among those electrodes. The chestbelt sensor
picks up the heart rate more simply through potential difference between two
electrodes built-in there and in contact with the body.
The pulse data are transmitted to the control unit by radio wave, thus elimi-
nating inconveniences of handling the sensor cable and offering concentrated
intense training.
The "Wireless Heart Rate Sensor Kit" consists of a chestbelt sensor
unit (transmitter) and a receiving circuitry to be mounted inside of
the control unit.
