accessories & options
At an average application of 2 hours per day the life-span of the battery amounts to approx. 1 year. The receiver is
incorporated in the Running-Machine and requires no battery. It is supplied by the running machine.
If an irregular pulse display occurs in spite of an unobjectionable technical condition, please
check your pulse manually or in case of doubts see your doctor for a check.
[12.U5] Correct placement of transmitter belt
Adjust the belt length so that the belt fits
tightly but does not confine you. The belt
should not loosen while exercising. Close
the belt with transmitter placed outwards
(POLAR-Logo in right position).
In order to allow an optimal skin contact the
skin should be moist. Contact gel, as used
for ECG, is an excellent solution. Moisten
the two electrodes and the skin with water
or contact gel, which is available in chemistries.
Place the transmitter so that it is right below the pectoral muscle (chest), as is shown in the illustration above. For
ca. 85 – 88 % of the subjects the "normal" placement of the transmitter belt is recommended.
[12.U6] Transmission problems
N For ca. 10 – 15 % of the subjects the placement "POLAR-logo upside down" is recommended.
N For ca. 1 – 2 % of the subjects the placement "transmitter at the back of the subject" is recommended.
However, try the "normal" position always first.
[12.V] PC Software h/p/cosmos para control ® 4.1
The free PC software h/p/cosmos para control ® is the result of a very large enhancement and function expansion of the
already well-known version 3.0. In addition to the pure remote control function of h/p/cosmos treadmill-ergometers over
the pc the software has integrated now a lot of additional functions such as an option setting configuration tool with
integrated storage function, firmware update over flash eprom, quick-stop-key, cool-down-key, pause-key, target speed
settings, target elevation settings, stop-count-down, display reset, etc.
The software is not designed for medical use.
Most of the additional functions of h/p/cosmos para control ® require an interface connection over the sophisticated
coscom v3 protocol, which is integrated in all h/p/cosmos treadmill-ergometers with MCU5 control electronic (as of
manufacturing date 12/2007). Treadmills which are equipped with MCU4 control electronic (until manufacturing date
12/2007) have integrated the forerunner protocol coscom v2 but they can be refitted with coscom v3 by a simple
firmware-update.
