Heart Rate Control Console
HEART RATE CONTROL CONSOLE
(Models R2200HRC, E3200HRC)
Before proceeding, refer to instructions for programmable consoles on page 16. Console operation for
the Heart Rate console is the same as for Programmable consoles except that the ‘Heart Rate Control’
program replaces the ‘Mountain’ program. The heart rate console on your Vision Fitness exercise bike
includes both heart rate feedback and a heart rate control program. Using heart rate control to monitor
your workout allows you to achieve the optimal workout. This console is manufactured with an internal
wireless telemetric receiver that will receive heart rate signals sent to it by a transmitter that is worn
around your chest. This wireless technology is accurate, continuous, and convenient. You should be positioned
on the exercise bike seat for the system to operate.
MOISTENING TRANSMITTER ELECTRODES
On the back side of your transmitter are two rubber strips several inches long. These rubber strips are
the electrodes that will pick up the signals of your heart beat. It is very important to moisten these strips
with several drops of water prior to placing the belt against your chest. this moisture will allow the sig-
nals to be conducted to the transmitting hardware. If you ever use the bike and the display is not show-
ing a heart rate value, remoisten the electrodes.
PLACING STRAP AROUND CHEST
You will get the best results if you wear your
transmitter directly against your skin. Once these electrodes are moistened, center the transmitter just
below the breast or pectoral muscles with the Vision Fitness logo centered on the chest and facing out.
Adjust the length of the elastic belt so that the transmitter presses securely
against your skin, but not so tight as to be uncomfortable. The transmitter will
begin sending a signal as soon as it is worn.
HEART RATE FEEDBACK
You can monitor your heart rate during any of the six programs. A program
must be operating (green Profile LEDs will be flashing) for the heart rate
readout to show on the number screen. Once a program has been started
(see page 16), press the SELECT button until the light next to HEART RATE
is lit. The number that now shows in the number screen is your current aver-
age heart rate. If your readout is ‘0’, you are not getting a signal. Shift the transmitter to slightly different
positions on your chest until a readout begins to show. If you still do not get a signal, remoisten the elec-
trodes with more water and try again.
