Heart-rate measuring

Pulse measuring via hand sensors
The hand sensors integrated in the handles beside the seat allow you to determine
your heart rate. You can measure your heart rate by lightly grasping the sensors with
both hands at the same time. Blood pressure changes occur due to the heartbeat. The
sensors measure the changes to the electric skin resistance caused by it. These values
are then used to create an average and are displayed on the screen of the console as
a heart rate.
Note:
For some people, the skin resistance change caused by the heart rate is so minimal
that the measurements do not allow for usable values. Strong callus or sweat on the
hands may also impair a correct measurement. In such cases, the heart rate will not be
shown at all or only incorrectly.
If the measurement is incorrect or not taken at all, please check if it happens to only
one person or to several people. If the pulse display only does not work in a single
case, the equipment is not defective. In this case, we recommend using a chest strap
to achieve a permanently correct heart rate display.
CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Different factors
may influence the accuracy of the heart rate display. The heart rate display only
serves as a training aid.
Telemetric heart rate measuring
This ergometer is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard. Using a
chest strap makes it possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring. This
optimal and ECG-precise type of measuring reads the heart rate directly from the
skin through a transmitting chest strap. The chest strap then sends the impulse to the
receiver integrated in the console.
Positioning the chest strap and moistening the electrodes:
Place the belt directly below the chest, while the transmitter should be placed on the
middle of the chest. The chest strap should sit comfortably, but not too loose. If the
belt is too loose, the contact to the electrodes may be disrupted or the belt may slip
