Handheld handlebar HR sensor test

  1. Start a workout and grasp the left and right handlebar heart rate sensors. The heart icon will blink for approximately 10 seconds while the heart rate is being computed. You must maintain contact with both metal HR sensors on each handlebar to ensure an accurate measurement.
  2. Within approximately ten seconds, your heart rate number appears in the HEART RATE (HR) display. Perform the following checks if the HR number does not appear:
    1. Verify that the HR cable is properly connected.
    2. If the HR test failed, repeat the test with a different person. In rare instances, the handlebar sensors may not work properly for a few individuals.

Use a touchscreen (P62, P80, and P82) compatible commercially available heart rate chest strap to verify the wireless heart rate function (Any chest strap that supports Polar GymLink technology or you can purchase a chest strap from Precor, pn PPP0000AT190012101) .

  1. Put on the heart rate chest strap and verify that the chest strap is operating correctly on a different machine and touchscreen console.
  2. Then move to the test machine and console and verify that the test console wireless heart rate function is operating correctly and is properly indicating your heart rate.

    DO NOT hold onto the handlebars during this measurement or you’ll override the chest strap HR results.

Alternative Test Method

If you have a Precor Polar HRM simulator transmitter test box (Precor PN: PPP000000020045101), then use the test box to verify the wireless heart rate function.
