ARCON Extended Heart Rate Transmitter/Receiver

The ARCON Extended Heart Rate Transmitter/Receiver is designed to extend the
functional range of a Polar or Sensor Dynamics Heart Rate Sensor (chest-worn
sensor/transmitter). To operate correctly, it must be used in conjunction with an
appropriate model Polar or Sensor Dynamics sensor, and with an ARCON Interface
Controller (AIC), as supplied with your ARCON Functional Evaluation System.

Installation:

Your ARCON Extended Heart Rate Transmitter/Receiver is shipped with three
components – a transmitter, a receiver, and a standard 9-volt battery. Installation is a

ARCON Interface Controller. If you already have a cable from the standard ARCON HR
receiver plugged in, you will have to remove it before connecting the extended receiver.
Push the receiver plug all the way in to insure a proper connection. Second, install the
battery in the transmitter. To do this, remove the battery cover by sliding it in the
direction of the arrow on the case. Connect the battery to the snap-on connector (observe
the correct polarity of the snaps and that the snaps are fully engaged). Place the battery in
the compartment and make sure that the wires are not protruding from the case. Replace
the battery cover by sliding it back over the battery until it snaps back in place.

transmitter case with your finger. Each time you tap, you should observe that the red LED on the

transmitter blinks on and off. If the LED does not blink, check the battery connection, and/or replace the

battery with a new one. Once you have checked the transmitter, check the receiver as follows. Make sure

that the power light is illuminated on your ARCON Interface Controller (i.e. that your ARCON
