xR650 HEART RATE FEATURES
The Octane Fitness xR650 seated elliptical is equipped with state-of-the-art heart rate monitoring and control
technologies that help you make the most of your training efforts. Both models include on-demand heart rate
monitoring—just grasp the digital contact heart rate grip sensors on the stationary handlebars and your current
heart rate is displayed on the console.
For even greater control of your workout, the xR650 is also equipped with HeartLogic Intelligence, Octane Fitness’
sophisticated yet easy to use heart rate control technology. This
sophisticated solution provides the most accurate and effective
workout possible using heart rate data captured by a wireless chest
strap or the digital contact heart rate grip sensors on the stationary
handlebars.
The xR650 features premium workouts designed to take full
advantage of the benefits of heart rate zone training: Fat Burn,
Cardio, Heart Rate Interval, Heart Rate Hill, Heart Rate Speed
Interval , Heart Rate Custom Interval, and New Leaf Custom. The
console displays time-in-zone, current heart rate, heart rate %, and
target heart rate so you know exactly where you are and where you
should be.
Using the contact
heart rate sensors
The digital contact heart rate sensors are located on the stationary handlebars of the
xR650. The grips can be used to check your heart rate during your workout. For the
most accurate heart rate reading possible, grasp each contact heart rate grip so that
the contact sensor portion of the grip rests in the palm of your hand and your fingers
make contact with the metal sensors on the top and bottom of the grip. Grasp the
contact sensors firmly, and keep your hands steady and in place.
Using a wireless
chest strap
The wireless chest strap transmits your heart rate to the electronics console at a
distance of up to three feet. You may use any Polar™-compatible (coded or non-coded)
transmitter. Adjust the length of the elastic strap and fasten the transmitter around
your torso, underneath your shirt. Place the strap just below your chest. Make sure
the logo is away from you and right side up. It may help to moisten the electrodes on
the back of the transmitter with a small amount of water for better contact with the
skin. The electrodes are the ribbed portion on the back side of the transmitter that sits
against your skin. Make sure the strap fits snugly but doesn’t restrict breathing. The
contact hand grips reading takes priority if both the wireless and contact heart rate
grips are in use.
Heart rate programs
The xR650 provides different heart rate controlled programs to offer you more variety
to suit personal needs: Fat Burn, Cardio, Heart Rate Interval, Heart Rate Hill, Heart
Rate Speed Interval , Heart Rate Custom Interval, and New Leaf Custom. In addition,
the 30:30 performance program uses heart rate readings as a measure of overall
fitness. Try different programs to determine a favorite. In a heart rate controlled
program, current heart rate is monitored and the resistance level will automatically
adjust to maintain target heart rate. To change the target heart rate during a workout,
use the Level
/
keys on the keypad.
