Use of the chest strap
The Sigma heart-rate monitor system consists of a lightweight transmitter belt, worn round the chest, and a
receiver which is mounted in the control panel of the EN-Motion. By means of two electrodes, the transmitter
detects each heart beat and transmits it to the receiver. During the training session, the heart-rate value will
appear at the bottom of the information screen.
Fitting the chest strap:
The chest strap works best if the transmitter is worn next to bare skin. If you would prefer to wear the chest
strap over a top, you will also need to moisten the section of the top beneath the grooved areas.
A heart-rate monitor (Sigma belt) MUST be used with the following functions:
•
Exercise g
oals ‘Condition improvement’ and ‘Weight loss’ (HRT programmes)
•
Conconi test (exertion test).
With all other functions, a heart rate monitor (Sigma belt) MAY be connected if desired.
The Sigma belt allows the current heart rate to be shown during the training session.
