Troubleshooting heart rate measurement system POLAR
[8.F1]
option Description
[8.F1]
OP07 Activate: Acoustic heart rate signal
Malfunctions of the RS232 interface
[8.G]
The most common causes for problem with the RS232 interface are
N
Wrong connection cable between the running machine and the periphery
N
Technical defects of the connection cable or male / female connector
N
False setting of protocols / driver at Running-Machine or periphery (ECG, PC, Ergospirometry)
N
False setting of COM port at periphery (ECG, PC, Ergospirometry)
Troubleshooting and testing of the RS232 interface
[8.G1]
N
Loop-Back Test: For testing the RS232 of the running machine a special RS232 test plug including testing
instruction is available from the manufacturer. Connect the plug to the RS232 port and adjust option 20: 10
N
A blinking code and the instruction will tell you if input and output of the RS232 are working well.
N
PC software h/p/cosmos para control
the running-machine. If it works you know the running-machine, the RS232 interface connection cable and the
RS232 interface card of the PC are working well.
Malfunctions of the control unit
[8.H]
In rare cases, after several years of use, malfunctions of the control unit are possible because of worn battery power. In
this case contact the service department to change the battery of the control unit.

Explanation / Display
%
indicates: OFF or ON
OFF: No acoustic heart-rate-signal
ON: Acoustic heart-rate-signal for every beat. This function is normally
used to control the regularity of the heart rate or to find reasons for
transmitting problems (like mobile phones or computer monitors).
