6.0 Display prior to training, at an interruption
of training, at the end of training
If you interrupt rowing, the electronic system will recognise an interruption
of training. The automatic display change will stop, the SCAN symbol dis-
appears, P will be displayed and the current range remains standing still
in the large display. If you do not continue training within 4 minutes, the
display will change to room temperature (Fig. 1). In this case, the distance
is added to the total kilometres covered. All other values will not be stored.
To be noted
With the +/– button you can skip one display range forward or backward.
With the Set button you get back into the input mode. In this case, all pre-
vious training data and preset values are deleted.
7.0 Display after continuation of training
Start training again. The values will count on.

8.0 Recovery pulse measuring

The training computer is equipped with a recovery pulse function that
enables you to measure your recovery pulse at the end of your training. At
the end of your training press the recovery pulse button. The computer will
count down for 60 seconds and measure your pulse (Fig. 13). Afterwards,
a fitness value with ( F ) is displayed (Fig. 14) the calculation of which is
explained in 9.0 General. If pulse measuring is interrupted, ( P ) and an
error message ( E ) is displayed instead of a value (Fig. 15). If you press
the recovery button, the current training display will appear again.

To be noted
If no pulse value is displayed, no recovery pulse function will be performed.
9.0 General
Calculation of total kilometres covered
1 rowing stroke results in a distance of 5 m.
Kilojoule calculation
From the view of sports physicians there is the following energy consumption
during rowing: 1 hour of rowing with a stroke frequency of 40 strokes per
minute will consume 2930 kJ.
1 kilometre results in 244 Kilojoule.
The calculation is based on a medium strain level and is only changed by
means of a variation of the stroke frequency.

Fitness value calculation
The computer calculates and assesses the difference between strain pulse
and recovery pulse and your resulting "fitness value" on the basis of the fol-
lowing formula:
( 10 x ( P1 – P2 )
Value ( ) = 6 –
P1
P1 = Strain pulse
P2 = Recovery pulse
Value 1 = very good
The comparison of strain and recovery pulse is a simple and fast possibility
to control your physical fitness. The fitness value is a value of orientation
with regard to your recoverability after physical strain. Before you press the
recovery pulse button and have the computer calculate your fitness value
you should have trained in your strain range for a longer period of time,
this means for at least 10 minutes. With a regular cardiovascular training
you will notice that your "fitness value" will improve.
Information on pulse measuring
Pulse measuring starts when the heart in the display flashes according to
the beat of your pulse.
With ear-clip
The pulse sensor operates with infra-red light and measures the changes in
the light permeability of your skin which are caused by your pulse beat. Before
you fasten the ear-clip to your ear lob please rub it strongly 10 times, in order
to increase blood circulation.
Avoid interfering impulses.
• Fasten the ear-clip carefully at your ear lob and try to find the most favou-
rable point for sensoring (heart symbol flashes without interruption).
• Do not train directly under strong incidence of light, e.g. neon light,
halogen light, spot light, sunlight.
• Completely avoid any vibrations and wobbling of the ear sensor including
cable. Always fasten the cable with the clip at your clothes or - even better
- at a headband.
With cardio pulse set
Please refer to the appropriate instructions.
Failures in the pulse display
Should there once be any problems with pulse detection, please once
again check the above mentioned points.
Check the battery voltage.
Failures in the training computer
Record the kilometres covered. In case of a strange behaviour of the training
computer remove the batteries, check the battery voltage and insert the bat-
teries again. The stored total value of kilometres covered will get lost during
an exchange of batteries.
