Exercise Heart

Rate Monitor

(Order Code EHR-BTA or

EHR-DIN)

The Exercise Heart Rate Monitor records a person's heart beat. Similar to an

electrocardiograph (EKG), this sensor detects the electrical signal generated for each

heart beat. This signal is measured at the surface of the skin by electrodes embedded

in the chest belt of the Exercise Heart Rate Monitor. Graphing this signal offers a

method to determine heart rate. A sample graph is shown below

We recommend version 2.0 or newer, which can be downloaded from the Vernier web site, www.vernier.com/easy/easydata.html, and then transferred to the calculator.
Page 3 The plug-in receiver wirelessly receives the transmission, and passes a 3-volt pulse for each detected heart beat to the Vernier interface. The reception range of the plug-in receiver is 80–100 cm or about 3 feet.
