5-6 VS-XHR Sensor
XHR Sensor Placement
NOTE: Before collecting data, make sure the battery is fully
charged.
ECG Electrode Positioning
Accurate lead positioning is important if accurate data are to be acquired.
The following is a brief description of where the leads should be placed.
For additional information on lead placement and cardiophysiology, see “
The Heart ” on pageB-1.
The VS-XHR Sensor consists of the larger, round, main sensor, and a lead
to the positive electrode lead that is typically worn on the left side of the
chest. Both sensor leads have snap-clips which will affix to the ECG
electrode’s male snap. Each electrode must be placed in a specific
location.
Main sensor Tail (Left) lead
The main sensor and left lead should be placed as shown above, with the
snap-clip on top of the main sensor, and the logos on both devices right-
side up.
NOTE: A variety of electrodes have been successfully used with the
XHR Sensor. See “ ECG (EKG) Electrodes ” on pageA-6.
