Introduction

The PS-3566 Wireless Heart Rate Module is included with the PS-3206 Wireless Hand Grip Heart Rate Sensor and the PS-3207 Wireless Exercise Heart Rate Sensor. The PS-3206 Wireless Hand-Grip Heart Rate Sensor consists of the Wireless Heart Rate Module and the PS-3565 Heart Rate Hand Grips. The PS-3207 Wireless Exercise Heart Rate Sen­sor consists of the Wireless Heart Rate Module and the PS-3564 Exercise Heart Rate Strap.
Software Required
The Wireless Heart Rate Module connects to a computer, smart phone, or tablet via Bluetooth using the PASCO Data Collection Software, PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue. See the PASCO web site at:
www.pasco.com/downloads
for information about the latest software.

Wireless Heart Rate Module

The module uses a CR2025 battery with an expected usage time of two years (assuming one hour of use per day). The module is water resistant but it is not intended to be used under water. Bluetooth transmission will not work under water. The module has a two year warranty provided by the manufacturer.
Battery
To change the battery, follow these steps.
1. Use a coin to open the battery cover by turning it counterclockwise (to OPEN).
2. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to remove the old battery. Insert the new battery (CR2025) inside the cover with the positive (+) side against the battery cover.
3. Make sure that the “O-ring” that seals the cover is seated in the sealing groove to ensure water resistance.
4. Use the coin to turn the cover clockwise to CLOSE.
NOTE: The module is water resistant, but Immersing it in water will block the Bluetooth transmission. Therefore, it is not recommended for you to use the module in water.

Wireless Hand Grip Heart Rate Sensor (PS-3206)

NOTE: Remove the protective tape from the metallic strips on the front and back of each grip before using.
Snap the Wireless Heart Rate Module onto the connec­tors near the top of the slightly longer hand grip.
Sensor measures electrical signals that start at the heart and reach the skin at the palms of the hands.
Sampling
By default, the Wireless Hand-Grip Heart Rate Sensor continuously monitors the time between beats, calculates the beats per minute, and averages the beats per minute within a five second interval. The average is then displayed. This process tends to “smooth” the collected data.

Operation

Heart rate is a basic body measurement that can be used to investigate the cardiovascular system and its response to stimulus (exercise, stress, etc.) during rela­tively simple experiments. The Wireless Hand Grip Heart Rate Sensor can be used to measure heart rate between 0 and 240 beats per minute (bpm) during mild exercise or periods of rest. NOTE: The sensor is not a medical instrument. It cannot be used to gauge the health or fitness of a person.
The coiled cable between the two hand-held grips enables users with different shoulder widths to use the sensor comfortably. The grips are designed for a wide range of hand sizes (8 years old to adult).
Measurement Technique
Grasp the hand grips firmly but not too tightly in the palms of the hands so that one of the metallic strips on each grip is in the center of the palm. Measurements will be easier and more accurate if the hands are clean and dry.
Theory of Operation
Like an electrocardiograph (EKG) that monitors the electrical signal of the heart, the Hand-Grip Heart Rate
Software Help
NOTE: See the SPARKvue Help or PASCO Capstone Help for information about collecting, displaying, and analyzing data.
In SPARKvue, select the HELP button in any screen including the Home Screen.
In PASCO Capstone, select PASCO Capstone Help from the Help menu, or press F1.
Connect the Sensor Wirelessly
Start the PASCO data collection software (such as PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue).
Setup the PASCO Capstone Software
Hold the hand grips firmly in the center of your palms.
PASCO Capstone: Select “Hardware Setup” in the Tools palette.
The sensors are ordered by proximity to the device.
In the Hardware Setup window, select the sensor that has the alpha-numeric device ID for the “Polar” module.
