ARCON Extended Heart Rate Transmitter/Receiver
User’s Guide

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
simple process. First, connect the plug on the receiver cable to the HR input on the
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.
Testing your transmitter/receiver – the “tap test”:
Check that your transmitter/receiver are working properly with the following procedure. Tap firmly on the
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
system is on) and that the receiver is plugged into the HR connector. Now, each time you
tap on the transmitter, you should observe that the red LED’s on both the transmitter and
receiver blink on and off together. This verifies the correct operation of your
transmitter/receiver. If the receiver LED does not blink, check that the receiver is
plugged in correctly and that the AIC power is on. Contact VerNova Customer Service
(see section on service and repair) if you are unable to verify correct operation of your
HR system.
Using your Heart Rate transmitter/receiver:
Each time you use your transmitter/receiver, perform a quick “tap test” as described
above to verify that they are working properly. Make sure your subject is wearing the
Polar or Sensor Dynamics Heart Rate Sensor, and that it has been attached and positioned
correctly on the subject’s chest. Hold the transmitter near the subject’s chest and verify
that a heart rate signal is being picked up by observing a regular blinking of the red LED.
If the LED does not blink, the Polar or Sensor Dynamics sensor is probably not attached
correctly (i.e. making good skin contact).
Now clip the transmitter on the subject’s belt or clothing using the attached clip. Position
the transmitter so that the subject does not bump it during the performance of the
evaluation. Verify that the LED is still blinking in a regular manner, and that the receiver
LED is blinking in a similar manner. Your heart rate transmitter and receiver are now
working correctly.
The normal operating range of the transmitter/receiver is 25 to 30 feet. In an open area
the range may extend to 50 feet, while walls and large metal objects may restrict the
range to only 15 feet. You will know that the subject is out of range when the receiver
LED stops blinking, while the transmitter LED continues to blink.
Avoid bumping the transmitter during use, as it is sensitive to sharp contact and will transmit an additional
“pulse” that may temporarily increase the subject’s heart rate reading. A good placement for the
transmitter is on the subject’s belt or waistband, behind the subject’s back. Make sure that the transmitter
case is not touching a hard object such as a belt buckle.
Storing your Heart Rate transmitter/receiver:
When you have finished evaluating a subject, store the transmitter in a safe place. You
may leave the receiver permanently connected to your AIC. If you will not be using the
transmitter for a long period of time (two weeks or more), it is recommended that you
remove the battery before storage to prevent battery run-down. Remember to re-install
the battery before the next use.
Battery life:
The battery in your transmitter should last two to three months in normal use. Replace
the battery if the transmitter fails the “tap test”, or if you notice a significantly decreased
operating range. Use a good quality 9-volt alkaline battery. Inexpensive “standard”
batteries will not last as long, and increase the risk of battery failure and leakage which
could damage your transmitter and void the warranty.
Service and repair:
Other than changing the battery, there are no user serviceable components in the ARCON Heart Rate
Transmitter or Receiver. If your equipment fails to operate correctly, contact VerNova Customer Service at
(800) 532-7266 or (757) 221-8134 for information about service and repair. Any attempt to repair or
modify this equipment without authorization will void the warranty and likely void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment
