If you start training, an automatic display change SCAN (symbol
2 in the display) will take place in a 5-second cycle. With the Set
button you can switch it off. With the +/– button you then can skip
one display range forward or backward. If you activated the stroke frequency preset mark (12) in the display, there will be a beep
in accordance with the stroke cycle, in order to assist you to maintain the stroke frequency.
If you press the +/– buttons together, you switch off the acoustic
stroke frequency signal and the mark (12) will no longer be displayed. This is also possible with a training interruption.
To be noted
If a preset value (except the pulse limit and stroke frequency) is reached, it will immediately be accepted in the large display (9).
If you interrupt rowing, the electronic system will recognise an interruption of training. The automatic display change will stop, the
SCAN symbol disappears, 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 previous training data and preset values are deleted.
Start training again. The values will count on.
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.
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 following formula:
Value ( F ) = 6 –
(
10 x ( P1 – P2 )
)
2
P1
P1 = Strain pulse P2 = Recovery pulse
Value 1 = very good Value 6 = unsatisfactory
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 favourable point for sensoring (heart symbol flashes without interruption).
