CS600X Trotting
- Quick start guide -
The Polar Equine CS600X Trotting is the most complete trotting training system for horses available. It is an evolution of the "human" CS600X training system and requires a good understanding of the user manual to use all its capacities fully. If you just bought this training system and want to try it straight away, the following quick start guide is what you need!
3. Starting the CS600X
1.Contents of the set
A.A CS600X receiver: receives, displays and records all the data measured by the WearLink transmitter and the speed sen- sor.
B.A speed sensor with its magnet: meas- ures speed and distance in real time.
C.A WearLink transmitter and its Equine belt: measures the horse’s heart rate in real time.
D.A ProTrainer 5 Equine edition software: displays a training log, graphs, tables and reports on your PC to further analyse the data recorded during training.
E.(In option, an IRDA USB adapter: uses infrared connexion to transfer the re- corded data from receiver to PC.)
2. How to use the CS600X receiver
The CS600X receiver has 5 navigation buttons and an infrared window to communicate with the PC via the IRDA adapter.
Use UP and DOWN to scroll through the different menus and adjust values (a bit like + and - buttons).
Use OK to enter a menu, to validate a value and to start the stopwatch.
Use STOP to exit a menu, to return to the previous display (when you made a mistake while adjusting a value) and to stop the stopwatch.
Press LIGHT once and the backlight is activated for 5 seconds when you press any other button. You can also lock the buttons by pressing and holding the LIGHT button for 2 seconds.
By default, the CS600X receiver is | Press UP or DOWN to select english |
switched off to save the battery. | as the language to be used. |
Press OK twice to activate it. | Press OK to validate. |
The following settings must be done, to make sure the speed measure- ments are accurate.
If you don’t do these sulky settings, the CS600X will remind you to set them before every exercise.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to custom- ize the following sulky settings. Press OK to validate your settings.
Number of sulkies (1, 2 or 3)
Wheel size for Sulky 1 (in mm)
Wheel size for Sulky 2 (in mm) if you use a second sulky.
Wheel size for Sulky 3 (in mm) if you use a third sulky.
(If you got wrong somewhere, press STOP to return to the previous setting.)
Note: Wheel size settings are a prerequisite for correct speed information!!
Use the following method to measure the wheel size in the most accurate way: use the valve to mark the point where the wheel touches the ground. Draw a line on the ground to mark that point.
Move your sulky forward on a flat surface for one complete rotation.
The tire should be perpendicular to the ground. Draw another line on the ground at the valve to mark a full rotation. Measure the distance between the two lines. Subtract 4 mm to account for your weight on the sulky to get your wheel circumference.
Enter this value in the CS600X receiver.
The following settings must be done, even though they don’t concern the horse.
If you don’t do these basic settings, the CS600X will remind you to set them before every exercise.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to customize the following basic settings. Press OK to validate your settings.
Time display (24h/12h)
Time
Date (day/month/year or month/day/year)
Units (kg/cm/km or lb/ft/mi)
(If you got wrong somewhere, press STOP to return to the previous set- ting.)
If your settings are good, select Yes. Press OK to validate.
Once the settings are done, the CS600X returns automatically to the time display.
The speed sensor is turned off by default to save the battery. Make sure it is acti- vated by checking in menu SETTINGS
4. Placing the speed sensor
Attach the rubber part to the sensor.
Pass the cable ties through the speed sensor and rubber part holes.
Adjust the sensor to the sulky bar so that the POLAR logo faces outwards.
Adjust the ties loosely. Do not tighten them yet.
Attach the magnet to a spoke at the same level as the sensor. Fasten the magnet to the spoke and tighten it with a screwdriver.
5. Placing the CS600X on the sulky
The support has been designed so that the CS600X receiver is always facing you (not perpendicular) wherever you install it on the sulky.
Place the rubber part on the sulky bar or stem and insert the support on top of it.
Pass the cable ties over the support and adjust them around the sulky bar/stem.
Secure the bike mount firmly and cut off any excess cable tie ends.
Position the CS600X receiver on to the support. Turn the CS600X receiver clockwise until you hear a click. It is now ready for use!
You can release the CS600X receiver by pressing it down and simultaneously turning it counter clockwise.
