Re: Polar S510 & S710 users.
Gotta confess, I have never had the problem with losing the reading on my S510. I do however take it off the bike mount when I do stop. Vo2, do you have nother bike computer mounted on your bike as well? I do find that I check my heart rate too much while cycling, but I just "have" to check my cadence and time.
If you do mount another computer, how did you mount both cadence meters? I have a Sigma BC1400 and have thought about putting both on, but the cadence sensors are giving my hassles as my Polar Cadence sensor is mounted on the rear of my bike.

I wonder if you can combine the files in Notepad or a similar program? It shouldnt be to hard to do since the overal size of each file is very small. Can someone post an example of how the data is stored in a typical file from the 510 or 710? I'd check this myself but dont have access to any from work >  |

Re: Polar S510 & S710 users.
Steve, I've tried it with my 510 files. The files are easily readable + editable but the problem comes in with the time below, in and above the heartrate zones. I've tried calculating it by hand and then importing the data, but it does not work.

Re: Polar S510 & S710 users.
FYI
This guy wrote a program that merges Polar HRM files. I've tried the file merging a couple of times and it works fine. You can dump the multiple files and just attach the one file to your workout after the merge. It also does some curve smoothing/averaging on the power curve. I haven't thoroughly tested the whole thing though. http://home.t-online.de/home/fabian.huester/polar/ S |

I've just bought a S710, used it for the first time on Sun. on a 200 km run. Each time I moved from the bike I had this problem, but the main problem was that my HR would not pick up again afterwards. I fugure this is die to the water I used to make the connection on the strap and died and is now dry salt from sweating. I tried to get some more water on the strap but it didn't work. I'm thinking of using some other fluid to connect (KY jelly or vassaline - no I don't have these items in my house already!).
Has anyone else had this type of problem and/or fixed it? Ssushi |

Ssushi:
Just spit on the transmitter. Your saliva conducts electricty quite well. I dought KY or Vaseline would do any better, and would be a lot lot more mess. Saliva conducts electricity a lot better than tap water also.

Obviously Polar finally listened to all the bike riders out there, and fixed this major ovesight with the new S710i series. The auto shutdown time is now 30 minutes, and this I find to be quite ok.
For those with the older S710, the new PPP4 software does allow for merging of HRM files. There are still problems sending files by email (ie does not send the joined HRM files). I actually had a S710 for some time, but got rid of it for just this reason - I kept on losing too many rides. And you cannot wear it on your wrist (I find). The temperature readings will be totally stuffed, so of course will be the altitude. I also found that you get intermittent pickup from the speed and cadence sensors - especially if you move your arms around a bit (ie, stretch or something). And there is no way you will remember to take it off the bike when you stop - there are always times you are busy doing something else and forget. |
