The Vernier Go Wireless Exercise Heart Rate consists of a wireless chest strap that measures heart rate on a mobile device. It is an excellent hands-free option for continuously monitoring heart rate before, during, and after exercise or while a person is stationary. It connects via Bluetooth^® wireless technology to compatible devices.

What’s Included

• Exercise Heart Rate Straps
• Polar Transmitter Module (battery included)

Compatible Software and Interfaces

Getting Started

Ensure that the Polar Transmitter Module is attached to the Exercise Heart Rate Strap securely. Locate and record the ID on the side of the Polar Transmitter Module. This is a unique sequence of six numbers and/or letters (e.g., ID:XXXXXX). Secure the strap around the subject’s chest. The strap should be located just below the chest muscles. Attach the hook to the other end of the strap to secure the sensor. Verify that the Polar Transmitter Module is located in the center of the chest in an upright position. The sensor is now ready for data collection.

Note: Compatible devices for connection via Bluetooth include LabQuest^® 2 or newer, Chromebook™, macOS^® and Windows^® computers, iPadOS™, and iOS and Android™ mobile devices. See www.vernier.com/manuals/gw-hr for a list of software compatible with Go Wireless Heart Rate.

Collecting Data with Vernier Graphical Analysis^®

1. Open Graphical Analysis. 
2. Tap Create Experiment. Choose Wireless Sensors.
3. Select the Polar HR with the proper ID from the list of available sensors.
4. Tap Collect to begin data collection. 

Note: When done collecting data, tap Disconnect. This will make the sensor available for other devices. If the connection between the device and the sensor is lost, tap Connect and select your Polar HR sensor.

Collecting Data with LabQuest App

1. Choose New from the File menu. On the Meter screen, choose Wireless Device Setup ► Go Wireless from the Sensors menu.
2. Select the Polar HR with the proper ID from the list of available sensors. Select OK.
3. The heart rate of the subject will be displayed on the Meter screen.
4. Collect data as desired.

Note: When done collecting data, tap Disconnect. This will make the sensor available for other devices. If the connection between the device and the sensor is lost, navigate to the Meter screen. Tap Offline: Heart Rate and select Go Wireless. Tap Connect and select your Polar HR sensor.

Collecting Data without Bluetooth Wireless Technology

This sensor can also be used with a Vernier interface and a Heart Rate Receiver (HR-REC, not included). Here is the general procedure to follow when using the Go Wireless Exercise Heart Rate with a Vernier interface that is not compatible via Bluetooth.

1. Connect the Heart Rate Receiver to the interface. 
2. Start the data-collection software.
3. The software will identify the Go Wireless Exercise Heart Rate as a Hand-Grip Heart Rate Monitor. A default data-collection file will be opened.
4. You are now ready to collect data.

Note: The subject’s heart rate will not be displayed on the Meter screen when using the Heart Rate Receiver with the Chest Strap. Heart rate will be calculated and then graphed during data collection after a short delay.

Polar Transmitter Module

* Use of RF Transmission requires Heart Rate Receiver (order code: HR-REC) and an interface (Go! Link^®, LabQuest, etc.)

How the Sensor Works

The Go Wireless Exercise Heart Rate measures a person’s heart rate by registering the small electrical signals carried across the surface of a person’s skin each time his or her heart contracts. The Polar Transmitter Module detects each electrical signal from the heart through the electrodes on the chest strap. The heart rate information is then wirelessly transmitted using a Bluetooth radio to supported mobile devices.
