Polar Heart Rate Receiver KickStart (#28048)
This component is not sold individually by Parallax. It is included in the Heart Rate Monitor
Experiment Kit (#28037).
What It Can Do
Receives heart beat signals from a compatible sensor transmitter
Indicates a received heartbeat signal using a LOW/HIGH output signal
Wirelessly interfaces to transmitter with a range of up to four feet
The Polar Heart Rate Receiver is designed to receive heart beat signals from compatible Polar
heart rate sensors. Together, the sensor and receiver provides a low-cost and convenient heart
rate monitoring system that can be connected to most any microcontroller. Example uses include
home exercise and sports training.
The Heart Rate Receiver is a stand-alone module, with on-board connections for power (3.3 V to
5 V), ground, and signal. It wirelessly interfaces to a compatible Polar coded or un-coded sensor
transmitter, such as the Polar T34 Non-Coded Transmitter.
Note: Range between transmitter and receiver is intentionally limited to about 3 to 4 feet, so that
multiple heart rate monitors can be used within the same general area.

    Note: To make it easy to connect the Heart Rate Receiver to a breadboard or other circuit, solder a three-pin male header connector (Parallax #451-00303, not included) to the pads on the side of the module. As shown in the diagrams in this KickStart, the long portion of the header pins is on the side of the board with the foam tape.
