Exercise Heart Rate Sensor

Equipment

Introduction

The Exercise Heart Rate Sensor uses a transmitter mounted on 
a transmitter strap and a receiver inside the sensor to measure 
heart rates from 40 to 240 beats per minute. The sensor can 
measure the heart rate during exercise without a sensor cable 
getting in the way because the transmitter and the receiver 
communicate wirelessly. 

The transmitter snaps onto the transmitter strap and the strap 
wraps around your chest with the transmitter positioned over 
the cardiac muscle. The transmitter sends the electrical signals 
from your heart to the Exercise Heart Rate Sensor. The Exer-
cise Heart Rate Sensor averages the heart rate in five second 
intervals. A small red light-emitting diode (LED) on the sen-
sor blinks when a heart beat is detected.

The transmitter comes with a replaceable type CR 2505 bat-
tery that has an estimated life of two years (assuming one hour 
of use per day). The transmitter strap (PS-2524) is designed to 
fit medium to extra-extra large. An accessory transmitter strap 
(PS-2519) available separately from PASCO fits small to extra 
small.
