Polar CS600X User Manual

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!

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.

3. Starting the CS600X

By default, the CS600X receiver is
switched off to save the battery.

Press OK twice to activate it.

Press UP or DOWN to select english

as the language to be used.

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 ->
Sulky -> Sulky 1/2/3 -> Speed -> ON.
Teaching a new sensor is not needed.

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.

Fine-tune the positioning of both the
magnet and the speed sensor so that
the magnet passes close to the sensor
but does not touch it.

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.
