You’ll need to enable the heart rate broadcast mode on the FR 235 (check the User Guide on the steps) and then add it as a sensor in the Edge sensors menu. As far as I know, you can't record on the watch while it's in broadcast mode.

Thanks for reply I have enable the heart rate broadcast on the watch but only seems to broadcast when you set to record a ride sure must be able to broadcast without recording a ride

Yes, HR should display on the Edge HR data field whenever the watch is connected.

But it only connects when I select a ride or on normal screen for 5 mins then goes into power save mode and stops broadcasting

I don't have a 235 any more but never had that issue. It would occasionally freeze on a constant HR value requiring a restart but otherwise it worked OK.
