4. ATTACH THE ELECTRODE BASE
1.
Attach the heart rate sensor to the pocket of the electrode
base. Close the pocket firmly.
2.
The heart rate sensor picks up very small electrical
impulses emitted by the heart. For the heart rate sensor to
read the heart rate properly, ensure a good contact
between the electrode pads and the horse’s skin.
Wet the electrode pads and the horse's hair properly from
the areas where the electrode pads are placed (see the
figure). If your horse has long or thick hair, you can clip
those areas. This greatly improves the heart rate signal
quality.
To optimize the contact between the horse's skin and the
electrode pads, you can use contact gel on the electrode
pads. It ensures a better detection of the horse’s heart rate.
