2.2 Faults and troubleshooting
PROBLEM
“NO PULSE” / heart rate detected
SOLUTION
1) If your skin is too dry, your chest strap cannot detect the electrical impulse from
your heart rate. Moisten the sensors of the chest strap slightly in order to improve the
contact. For longer units, like a marathon, we recommend using contact gel for the
chest strap.
2) Make sure that you use a compatible analog chest strap with a frequency of 5 kHz.
3) Change the batteries in your chest strap even if the chest strap is new.
4) If you are using a 5 kHz frequency chest strap, there may be interfering signals.
Move your rowing machine to another place and, if applicable, remove all electrical
devices out of the surrounding area. Then check the heart rate signal again.
5) Check if your chest strap is working correctly. Test it on a different equipment (on
site by the contract partner, local health club, etc.).
6) Contact your contract partner in order to confirm the compatibility of your chest
strap.
PROBLEM
LCD blurs - divided LCD - software error, etc.
SOLUTION
1) Computer reset: Press the RESET button for a few seconds.
2) Restart the computer: Disrupt the power supply for about 15 seconds.
3) Reconnect all cable plug connections, see assembly instructions.
3) Ask for replacement console and install it.
FAQ – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Chest strap - does my old chest strap work with the rowing machine?
A1: 5 kHz chest strap = mostly - provided that your computer is 5 kHz compatible. A2:
Digital chest strap (2.4 GHz) = no - digital chest straps are coded and normally only
compatible with one equipment.
Q: How does the computer determine and calculate the distance (e. g. meters) and
speed (e. g. time/500m)?
A: Distance - This rowing machine has two sensors on the pull strap, Sensor A and
Sensor B. Thus, the computer can determine if the strap moves backwards (stroke
pull) or forwards (release of a stroke). The computer measures the rotations per stroke,
combined with a factor for the resistance level, a higher resistance results in more
meters. The speed is calculated from this combined with the time factor.
