Polar RS800CX
Explanation of various models
|
Polar RS800 / RS800SD / RS800G3 / RS800CX (bike/run/multi) - an explanation of the different available models. OK - let's start with the important stuff. A Polar RS800 (without the CX suffix) is NOT the same as a Polar RS800CX. A Polar RS800 can only support either the G3 GPS pod (RS800G3) or the S3 stride sensor (Polar RS800SD) - A Polar RS800, RS800SD or RS800G3 can NEVER support the BIKE speed or bike cadence sensors. Only the Polar RS800CX can do this.
The RS800CX is a direct REPLACEMENT for the soon to be obsolete RS800(RS800SD/RS800G3). The RS800CX is a multi sport unit and it can support ALL of the WIND devices (except Power) - that includes G3 GPS, S3 stride sensor, WIND bike speed and WIND pedal cadence.
The product range for the Polar RS800CX is as follows:
Polar RS800CX - comes with WIND Wearlink chest strap - but no accessories. Customers can add run, bike and/or GPS components as they wish at a later date
Polar RS800 CX RUN - comes with WIND Wearlink chest strap AND the Polar S3 stride sensor. Customer can add G3 GPS and/or bike / pedal sensors at a later date
Polar RS800CX BIKE - comes with WIND Wearlink chest strap AND the Polar WIND bike speed sensor. Customer can add G3 GPS, S3 running stride sensor and/or pedal cadence sensors at a later date
Polar RS800CX MULTI - comes with WIND Wearlink chest strap AND the Polar G3 GPS sensor - for people undertaking ANY outdoor sport that requires speed and distance feedback, plus GPS mapping / tracking. Customers can add the running S3 stride sensor and/or bike sensors at a later date |

Ltd summary
Polar RS800CX
After
a day's playing around with the RS800CX we could find and set most
of the features we needed for basic training. It's a sophistcated HRM so we are afraid
you will need to read the manual to get the most out of it. VIEW THE MANUAL - Polar RS800 online manual here
What is the Polar RS800CX? It is basically a replacement to the ever popular RS800 / S625x / s725x - it is the top of the range Polar heart rate monitor that can support running foot sensor (S3) and bike sensors (WIND versions) and G3 GPS.
It does everything that the RS800/SD/G3 models did, plus : ability to support optional WIND bike sensors providing : pedal cadence (revs per min) and bike speed functionality . The Polar RS800 also provides the user with R-R interval recording, improved IR communication, new WIND Wearlink DIGITAL belt working at 2.4GHz (will not interface with gym equipment)
PRIORITY SENSORS : The Polar RS800CX keeps the S3 and CS sensors as dominant over the GPS when used together....if you are using the GPS and it loses the signal from one of the other sensors GPS speed will automatically kick in after two minutes.
VIEW THE MANUAL - Polar RS800CX online manual here - this is the best way to get a real feel for this new and highly advanced product
RS800CX comes with Polar ProTrainer version 5
Please click for detailed screen grabs
User
is able to manage an online training diary on Polar's own fitness
training website. Summary data is stored per session, i.e max,
min, time in zones, distance etc.
The user may also manage and maintain a heart rate training diary locally - on your home PC - using the supplied Polar software. The heart rate data is transferred using INFRA RED. The Polar RS800CX comes with the very latest Polar Precision Performance software version 5

Polar RS800CX
RUN - BIKE - MULTI
Polar RS800CX is FINALLY here... the direct replacement for the Polar RS800/SD/G3 and S625x / S725x. This is the new, all singing, all dancing multisport heart rate monitor from Polar. The only feature it does NOT support is the Polar Power sensor, for this you will need the CYCLISTS dedicated Polar CS600. Quick change training zones, clearer identification
of current HR intensity and improved crosstalk prevention to avoid unwanted interference. The Polar RS800CX is available in 4 main configurations: Polar RS800CX RUN (with S3 stride sensor) / Polar RS800CX BIKE (with WIND speed sensor) / Polar RS800CX MULTI (with G3 GPS) or without any SPEED sensors at all - Polar RS800CX (sensors can be added later)
In the opinion of the staff at BHIP Ltd, this is the most TECHNICALLY COMPETENT Polar HRM for RUNNER's, TRIATHLETES, CYCLISTS and SPORTS SCIENTISTS. It knocks spots off the previously successful Polar S810i and Polar S625x / S725x / RS800.
www.polar.fi website says: "Polar RS800CX - At the heart of your training lies the RS800CX wrist unit. With the ability to record a wide range of performance details, the unit works with the WearLink transmitter W.I.N.D. to provide you with the most accurate measurement of your heart rate. This kit at the most basic level is compatible with all W.I.N.D. sensors, so you can create and build on your training system to keep up with all your training challenges - now and in the future."

the user to view the data that is most important to them, i.e. Calories,
Total Time, Lap Time and Heart Rate.

- Multi-BIKE support. Allows users to set different wheel sizes for 2 bikes ensuring correct speed and distance data calculation
- File Recall
: The Polar RS800CX creates a "file" for each session
over 1 minute. The training file contains the following information.Date
and start time, duration of exercise, average heart rate (in bpm
or %), maximum heart rate (bpm or %), training zone(s) applied,
time in this zone(s), time above the zone(s) and time below zone(s).

the 5 x Polar Sports Zones with total time spent in each of the
5 zones.
- Laps / Splits
:If the lap function has been pressed the Polar RS800CX will also
recall number of laps, best lap time, lap time with average heart
rate and heart rate at end of lap. Number
of laps, average lap time, best lap time, average and max HR per
lap, end heart rate of each lap, lap number, split time, average
pace of lap....
- Long term
files : The Polar RS800CX also has a 16 week view memory file and
a total view file option. The weekly view gives calories burnt,
duration of exercise, time spent in different Polar Sports Zones.
The Totals gives total duration, total calories, total exercise
count. You can reset these whenever you wish.
- Altimeter ** (please read): (also see post exercise feedback of Polar RS800CX)
- Intervals
: The Polar RS800CX has a 3 segment interval trainer. You may choose
to use 1, 2 or all 3 segments. The segments autorepeat one after
another if required. An example would be 10 mins in HR Zone 1, 6
mins in Zone 2 then 2 mins in Zone 3, then repeat. Click this link for more details about Polar RS800CX intervals.
- COMBINE sessions: If you are starting a new exercise within an hour of the last one the Polar RS800CX gives you the option to "combine"......if someone wanted to swim, bike, run for instance!
- SPEED / PACE : When multisport users change from footpod to bike sensor the Polar RS800CX automatically changes pace (min/mi) to speed (mph)
- SELF CHANGE BATTERY in both the Polar RS800SD watch and the Wearlink W.I.N.D heart rate chest transmitter
- IMPORTANT - SWIMMING - The RS800CX comes with the new W.I.N.D chest transmitter. It works at 2.4GHz, This frequency will NOT transmit under water. Although the unit will not be damaged, it CANNOT be used to give an accurate heart rate while swimming.
- IMPORTANT - Our RS800CX package INCLUDE the Polar USB IR data transfer stick and necessary software (Polar SRP for this unit alone is £45)
POLAR - Heart Rate Monitors range
Does not include all new 2008/9 models
Including definitions of the following:
