WORKOUT MONITOR
STROKE COUNT
To view the STROKE COUNT for an elapsed or programmed workout press the AV button and scroll
through the units until COUNT appears on the display.
TECH (Technical data)
The default display does not illuminate the TECH field when the monitor is turned ON. To display the TECH
field press the
TECH button.
Technical functions that can be calculated and displayed in the TECH field are DRIVE RATIO, AVERAGE
SPM, STROKE LENGTH, DRAG, and HEART RATE.
Select the preferred TECH function by pressing the
TECH button. If the HR receiver is plugged in, it will
override all other functions in this field.
Stroke Length (SL) is the drive length of the stroke represented numerically as a reference value.
Drive Ratio (DR) is the ratio of the drive phase to the recovery phase, ie. if the Drive time is 1 second and
the recovery time is 2 seconds, the ratio displayed will be 1:2.0
Average Strokes Per Minute (Av/SPM) is the average stroke rating since the beginning of the workout.
The Heart Rate (HR) display function allows the user to view their heart rate on the monitor. To use this
function, a standard Polar HR Chest Transmitter and a plug in Polar receiver for rowing machines is
required. These are available from Oartec or a Polar supplier.
Drag is the deceleration factor of the flywheel at a given resistance setting. As the resistance is changed,
by moving the lever on the top of the flywheel housing, the drag will automatically calculate the change
in resistance and recalibrate the speed values accordingly. The drag display allows the user to set the
resistance to a predetermined drag value to use when needing to be able to compare scores from one
simulator to another.
MEMORY
When a set workout is completed the Total Distance or Total Time will be displayed on a frozen screen.
During the workout, each split, set at a default of 500m intervals, is recorded for the duration of the
workout.
To access the data recorded for each split of a set workout, press the
MEMORY button to scroll through
and view each of the recorded splits.
The first screen displayed will show the Total values for the set workout.
The INTERVAL digit value will read F to represent the Finished Totals. As the user scrolls through the
splits the interval field will display a number to indicate which split of the workout the user is viewing.
The number assigned to each split is in order from beginning to last. For example, the Interval 01
represents the first 500m (default) of the set workout.
Alternatively the user can scroll forward or back through the recorded data by using the
ARROW buttons.
To view the Total values for other units, press the AV button until the desired unit value is shown.
Default unit for each interval will be Av Time/500m.
To view the other unit values for each interval, press the AV button to view: Av Speed in Time/500m,
M/S, KM/HR, M/HR, Power in WATTS, and Stroke Count.
