Heart Rate Monitoring & Console

Heart Rate Monitoring Device

Pulse Hand Grips (Standard)

The 1000Sr unit is heart rate controlled and comes standard with stainless steel pulse handgrips. To acti-
vate, gently grasp both handgrips to obtain a heart rate reading.
(Note: It is recommended to wear a chest strap for Heart Rate control program, as it is more accurate. 
If you wear a chest strap and use hand grips at the same time for heart rate monitoring purpose, please 
note the console will take the measurement of the chest strap.)

Operating Tips:

If you are not getting a consistent reading while using the hand pulse option, we recommend the follow-
ing suggestions:

Make sure that the palms of the hands are touching the contact area of each hand pulse grip.

• 

Maintain an even pressure on the grips.

• 

Do not hold the hand pulse grips too tightly.

• 

Chest Strap (Standard)

The 1000Sr is equipped a built-in receiver and a chest strap for your heart rate monitoring. To get an ac-
curate reading using these devices, you will need to be within three feet of the console, and a minimum 
of four feet from others using a heart rate monitoring device.

(Note: The transmitter may fl uctuate erratically if you are too close to other heart rate monitoring equip-
ment or there is other electronics nearby, such as TV, Radio...)

The receiver of the wireless ECG system is built into the console unit of the Diamondback 1000Sr equip-
ments. While using heart rate control modes, the computer monitors the exact measurement of and 
control over the activity if the heart. Heart rate frequency is displayed while the computer continually 
compares heart rate to the preprogrammed personal data. The computer adjusts the wattage to main-
tain heart rate at the preprogrammed level.

How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter

Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.

1. 

Adjust the band length so that the fi t is snug, but not too tight.

2. 

Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.

3. 

Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle (breasts).

4. 

Stretch the transmitter away from your chest and moisten the conductive electrode strips located 

5. 

next to the buckles with water.

(Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off when it is not connected to your 
body. However, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter to prolong bat-
tery life.)
