Model HRM8700
Wireless Heart Rate Monitor Specifications
General Description
The Model HRM8700 is a wireless receiver and
Handgrip Heart Rate Monitor Combo. It is
designed to manage and support ECG contact
heart rate and the reception of wireless heart
rate data from BLE, ANT+, standard 5kHz
chest straps or wearable heart rate
transmitters or devices.
Once enabled by the Console, the HRM8700
actively scans for local HR transmitter signals,
and supports a user selection/pairing protocol
processed by the Console.
Once a HR transmitter is selected/paired, the
HRM8700 streams the user heart rate data
until the end of the workout session, then
‘unpairs’.
The HRM8700 contact heart rate monitor can
quickly and accurately measure the heart rate
from an ECG signal under noisy environments.
The HRM8700 simultaneously processes
Handgrip Heart Rate and Wireless Heart Rate
data. Either can be specified as the priority
heart rate.
Features:
Direct connection to equipment; no phone
device or app ‘middleman’
Support ECG contact heart rate
Supports multiple inbound sources for HR:
BLE, ANT+, 5kHz
Automatic proximity sensing to minimizing
interference from competing wireless HR
signals
Console controllable proximity commands
allowing ‘customization’ of the scanning
proximity during integration development of
the HRM8700 into the console
Simplified user pairing routine
Future-proof: OTA updateable to support
future features (based on console passthrough, if available)
Interface: UART, custom command protocol
The HRM8700 series combo heart rate module
delivers high performance ECG contact and
telemetry heart rate monitoring - for both
commercial/club and home cardio equipment
applications.
CONFIDENTIAL
The HRM8700 communicates and passes the
heart rate data from the heart rate monitor to the
equipment console through proprietary UART
protocol.
The HRM8700 series offers a special proximity
pairing feature that allows the equipment console
to discover only the HR transmitting devices in
close proximity. This feature minimizes unwanted
devices and speeds up the pairing process,
especially useful in health club environments
where there may be multiple BLE or ANT+
devices present. After successful pairing, the
reception distance will automatically increase to
maximum range.
The HRM8700 receiver also supports legacy Spulse contact heart rate and 5kHz chest strap
data reception. It utilizes Salutron’s proprietary
Digital Crosstalk Control and Digital Noise Filter
algorithms that can filter out unwanted competing
chest strap signals. This supports better wireless
reception and reduce 5kHz noise from potentially
unfriendly high ‘noise’ environments coming from
power systems and console electronics.

The physical properties of the HRM8700 allow for easy integration in your existing equipment. See above
picture for the physical dimensions of the board. Preferred headers may be specified, with Salutron’s
consultation. Because of its small size and weight, the board can be fastened using adhesive tape, or #2
screws.
