PROGRAMING HEART RATE OPTION

The WaterRower Series III monitor incorporates a heart rate (HR) monitoring facility which requires additional 

hardware to activate. We highly recommend the use of heart rate monitoring as the most accurate method of 

monitoring physiological intensity. With the heart rate option fitted, the WaterRower Series III monitor displays 

heart rate in the stroke rate window 70% of the time. 

The WaterRower Series III monitor also allows you to select a variety of heart rate zone setting options, HI LO, 

Maximal Intensity, Exercise objective and Intensity settings. A visual and audible signal alert you when you are 

outside the set zone.

Hi Lo HR Zone

- allows you to manually set the maximum HR above which the HI warning will activate and the 

minimum HR zone below which the LO warning will activate.

Maximal HR Zone

- allows you to manually set your maximal HR (being your aerobic threshold), your resting 

HR (being your waking HR) and your desired exercise intensity (%). The Series III monitor will automatically 

calculate your desired HR and set the maximum and minimum thresholds (+/- 10 beats). You may change 

your calculated thresholds manually if you so desire.

Objective HR Zone-

 allows you to manually set your age (no cheating now), your resting HR (being your 

waking HR) and your desired exercise objective (fat burn, aerobic or maximal). The Series III monitor will 

automatically calculate your desired HR and set the maximum and minimum thresholds (+/- 10 beats). You 

may change your calculated thresholds manually if you so desire.

Intensity HR Zone

- allows you to manually set your age, your resting HR (being your waking HR) and your 

desired exercise intensity (%). The Series III monitor will automatically calculate your desired HR and set 

the maximum and minimum thresholds (+/- 10 beats). You may change your calculated thresholds manually 

if you so desire.
