Polar RS100 Heart Rate Monitor

Polar's RS100 Heart Rate Monitor is designed for beginners who want basic heart rate and timing features. Features include personal heart rate target zones and calories burned.

Body measurement features

• Automatic age-based target zone – bpm / %

  To help you train safely and effectively, the training computer automatically determines your heart rate target zone limits according to your age-based maximum heart rate (220 minus age). The limits are determined either in beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate. See also Manual target zone.
• Average and maximum heart rate of each lap
• Average and maximum heart rate of training

• Heart rate – bpm / %

  Heart rate is the measurement of the work your heart does. Heart rate can be expressed as the number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage (%) of your maximum heart rate.

• HR-based target zones with visual and audible alarm

  You can define your target zones for a training session based on heart rate to help define the right intensity. When you are out of the preset zones, the training computer will give a visual and audible alarm.

• HRmax (age-based)

  The highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during maximum physical exertion. For a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. HRmax is a useful tool for determining the intensity of training as intensity zones can be defined using HRmax. Some Polar products define maximum heart rate during the Polar Fitness Test, see also HRmax (Polar Fitness Test -based).
• HRmax (user set)

• Manual target zone – bpm / %

  This feature enables you to manually enter the target zone that is suitable for your training. You can set the target zone for your training as beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage of your maximum heart rate.

• Polar OwnCal® – calorie expenditure

  Polar OwnCal calculates the number of calories burned during training. This feature allows you to track the calories burned during one training session and cumulative calories burned during several training sessions.

• Polar OwnCode® (5kHz) – coded transmission

  Coded heart rate transmission automatically locks in a code to transmit your heart rate to the training computer. The training computer picks up your heart rate from your transmitter only. Coding prevents interference from other training computers.

• Polar OwnZone® – personal heart rate zone

  Polar OwnZone® determines your personal heart rate limits for a training session. Depending on the day and time, your physical state may vary, for instance, if you are stressed or tired, or if you are not fully recovered from your latest training session, Polar can determine that information from your heart rate and guide you to your ideal training zone for that moment.
