Heart Rate Monitoring
Chest Strap & Receiver
The 1100 Series units come standard with a built-in receiver and
chest strap for heart rate monitoring. To get an accurate reading
using 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 devices)
There are three parts to the Heart Rate System on the Diamondback
1100 series equipment.
1. Sensor / Transmitter
2. Chest Band / Strap
3. The Receiver
The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console
unit of the Diamondback 1100 series equipment. While using heart
rate control modes, the computer monitors the exact measurement
of and control over the activity of the heart. Heart rate frequency is
displayed while the computer continually compares heart rate to
the preprogrammed personal data and 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. If
you wish to wear the band over a shirt, moisten the shirt under
the area of the electrode strip.
(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.)
