Star Trac Spinning Computer - Marketing Statement Regarding Heart Rate

Marketing Statement Regarding Heart Rate
Marketing Statement Regarding Heart Rate Acquisition on the Star Trac Spinning
®
Computer:
Star Trac takes the acquisition and accuracy of heart rate very seriously and has developed a system to perform
to the best ability that technology will allow. Star Trac has engineered a product that has taken every precaution
possible to acquire an accurate heart rate signal as well as eliminate “crosstalk” interference that may be
caused by other monitors being placed too close together.
To achieve the best possible results from your Spinning
®
Computer, please abide by the following important
parameters:
1) Users must wear either a Coded Transmitter (such as Polar© T61, Polar© T31C or Polar© WearLink
®
)
or an Ant+ compatible transmitter when operating the Spinner
®
bike with the Spinning
®
Computer. Only
the listed transmitters allow a “one to one” relationship with the Spinning
®
Computer and will minimize
potential “crosstalk” interference. If users wear non-coded straps, there is significantly increased potential for
“crosstalk” which will cause erratic heart rate display, loss of heart rate display and significantly reduce the
consistency of accurate heart rate reporting.
2) Bikes should be spaced so that the side-to-side distance from the Spinning
®
Computer on one bike and the
Spinning
®
Computer on bikes to the left or right is at least 36 inches (91.4 cm). In addition, the distance from
the bottom of the Spinning
®
Computer on one bike to the seat of the bike in front of it (where another rider
and his her transmitter would be seated) should be at least 24 inches (61 cm) in order to significantly reduce
chances for interference. See the diagram on page 5 regarding bike layout.
