3.3.4: The Optional Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap

The Polar telemetry heart rate monitoring system transfers heart rate signals to the console when electrodes are pressed against the skin. These electrodes are attached to a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap that the user wears during the workout. The Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is optional. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services to order.

See diagram for correct positioning of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes. Then, secure the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct contact with bare skin. However, it functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing. If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and re-moisten them.

Note: If the Lifepulse system sensors are grasped while the chest strap is worn, and if the signals from the sensors are valid, the on-board computer uses these sensor signals for calculating the heart rate instead of those transmitted by the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap.
Note: During the setup of a heart rate zone training workout, the user will be required to enter a start-up speed. If a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is not detected, the maximum allowable speed is 4.5 MPH / 7.2 KPH (Treadmills only). If a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is detected, users can workout at the maximum allowed speed set in the Configuration Manager menu.

3.4: The Lifepulse™ System

The patented Lifepulse system sensors are the built-in heart rate monitoring system on this product. For the most accurate reading possible, during a workout:

  • Grasp the sensors firmly.
  • Hold each sensors at the midpoint.
  • Keep hands steady and in place.
Treadmill

The console displays the heart rate within 10 to 40 seconds after the user grasps the sensors. The following factors may affect a Lifepulse reading:

  • incorrect hand placement on the sensors

Note: Reference Workouts List, Workout Descriptions and Workout Setup - Data Inputs.

5.7.1: Life Fitness Fit Test

  • The Life Fitness Fit Test estimates cardiovascular activity and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every 4 - 6 weeks.
  • The Fit Test is considered to be a submax VO2 (volume of oxygen) test and gauges how well the heart supplies oxygenated blood to the exercising muscles and how efficiently those muscles receive oxygen from the blood.
  • Physicians and exercise physiologists generally regard this test as a good measure of aerobic capacity.
  • Workout duration is 5 minutes total.
  • Take the Fit Test under similar circumstances each time. For the most accurate Fit Test results, you should perform the Fit Test on three consecutive days and average the three scores.
  • To receive a proper Fit Test score, the work done must be within a training heart rate zone that is 60% to 85% of the theoretical maximum heart rate (HRmax).

The user must grasp the hand sensors when prompted, or wear a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap as the test score calculation is based on a heart rate reading.

Note: The workout will be terminated if a heart rate is not detected after 2.5 minutes.

Your heart rate is dependent on many factors, including:

  • amount of sleep the previous night (at least 7 hours is recommended)
  • time of day
  • time you last ate (2 - 4 hours after the last meal is recommended)
  • time since you last drank a liquid containing caffeine or alcohol, or smoked a cigarette (at least 4 hours is recommended)
  • time since you last exercised (at least 6 hours is recommended)

Suggested exertion levels should be used as a guideline for setting up the Fit Test program. The goal is to elevate the user’s heart rate to a level that is between 60%-85% of their theoretical maximum heart rate.

After the 5-minute FIT TEST is completed, a FIT TEST score and rating will be displayed.

Please note that the estimated VO2 max scores achieved will be 10-15% lower on stationary exercise bikes than those achieved on other Life Fitness cardiovascular equipment. Stationary cycling has a higher rate of isolated muscle fatigue of the quadriceps when compared to walking / running on a treadmill or utilizing a bike. This higher rate of fatigue corresponds to lower levels of estimated VO2 max scores.

Chapter 6: Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Note: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until defective parts are repaired or replaced.
Note: Pour assurer la sécurité du matériel, il convient de l’inspecter régulièrement afin de déceler tout signe d’usure ou d’endommagement. N’utilisez pas l’appareil avant d’avoir réparé ou remplacé les pièces défectueuses.

The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the product operating at peak performance:

  • Locate the product in a cool, dry place.
  • Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or compatible cleaner (see Approved and Compatible Cleaners) and a microfiber cloth.
  • Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to press the selection buttons on the console.

6.1: Approved and Compatible Cleaners

Two preferred cleaners have been approved by reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force formula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1.

PureGreen 24 is available in a spray which is convenient for gym staff to use. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control.

Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.

Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or email: customersupport@lifefitness.com).

Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display and all exterior surfaces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the equipment surfaces.

6.2: Troubleshooting

6.2.2: Troubleshooting - Heart Rate Reading

Malfunction Probable Cause Corrective Action
Heart rate reading is initially detected and functioning normally but then is lost. Use of personal electronic devices, such as cell phones and portable MP3 players, causes external noise interference. Remove the source of noise or reposition the exercise equipment.
Equipment is in close proximity to other sources of noise such as audio/video equipment, fans, two way radios, and high voltage/ high current power lines.
Heart rate readings are abnormally elevated. Television sets and/or antennas, cell phones, computers, cars, high voltage power lines, motor driven exercise equipment , and another heart rate transmitter within 3 ft. (0.9 m) generate electromagnetic interference. Move the product a few inches away from the probable cause, or move the probable cause a few inches away from the product, until the heart rate readings are accurate.
Heart rate reading is erratic or absent entirely. Belt transmitter electrodes are not wet enough to pick up accurate heart rate readings. Wet the belt transmitter electrodes (see The Optional Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap).
Belt transmitter electrodes are not laying flat against the skin. Ensure the belt transmitter electrodes are laying flat against the skin (see The Optional Polar® Telemetry Heart Rate Chest Strap).
Belt transmitter needs cleaning. Wash the belt transmitter with mild soap and water.
Belt transmitter is not within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the heart rate receiver. Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within 3 ft. (0.9 m) of the heart rate receiver.
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap battery is depleted. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for instructions on how to have the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap replaced.
Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap did not lock in with the heart rate receiver.

Make sure the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap is properly attached to the user’s chest and move closer to the heart rate receiver inside the console. Wait up to 10 seconds for the heart rate to display on the console. The overall range of the heart rate strap is approximately 3 ft. (0.9 m) after it communicates with the receiver. The strap must be 1.5 - 2 ft. (0.5 - 0.6 m) away from the receiver in order to start communicating. When the display shows a heart rate value stay within 3 ft. (0.9 m).

Notes:

  1. Ensure proper adherence of the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap to user’s chest.
  2. Ensure proper conductivity between the electrodes and user’s chest.
  3. If needed, use the Polar watch to verify chest strap’s operation.
