4.2 Pulse-rate zones
Using the +/- buttons, you can select 2 zones. The age input serves for
calculating these zones. This is shown in the PULSE display (5).
1. Fat consumption [Fa 65%] (Fig. 13)
Formula: (220 - age) x 0,65
2. Fitness zone [Fi 75%] (Fig. 14)
Formula: (220 - age) x 0,75
Function
When the pulse zone is entered and the maximum pulse set, pulse-zone moni-
toring is activated. If the number of strokes is 11 less than the set exercising
pulse, the letters "LO" appear. When the set pulse is exceeded by 11
strokes, the symbol "HI" appears. The "LO" monitoring is activated when
the set pulse rate is reached for the first time during rowing. If the number
of strokes declines to zero, the "LO" function is again activated when the
set pulse rate is reached. "HI" monitoring is always active.
The figure which is shown with the % symbol is the relation of the current
pulse rate to the maximum pulse rate.
4.3 Pulse-rate monitoring (independent of age)
This can be set from 40 - 180 using the +/- buttons.
Function
The "HI" and "LO" display is described in 4.2.
The percentage pulse display is not available.
4.4 Concluding input
After entering the last setting, press the Set button. All the set figures
(apart from pulse-rate and frequency) are now displayed (fig. 17).
If you switch the pulse-rate monitoring off, the OFF display is shown and
all pulse-rate monitoring functions are deactivated and the general
display shows "Time" (fig. 18)
Function
Start rowing. All the settings (apart from pulse limit) count downwards. When
zero is reached, they flash for a few seconds and then start counting from
the set value upwards.
If your pulse rate rises above the specified limit, the HI symbole flashes as
a warning.
5.0 Display during exercising
When you start your exercising session, the automatic display change
SCAN starts at five-second intervals (symbol b in the display). You can switch
it off with the Set button. Using the +/- button, you can switch forward to
the next display section or back to the last one. If you have set the stroke
frequency (e) in the display, it bleeps at the set rhythm to help you to
maintain the right frequency.
6.0 Display before and after exercising and
during interruptions
The electronics are able to detect interruptions in rowing. The automatic display
change stops. The symbol SCAN disappears. Under Frequency (4) and Pulse
Rate (5) the average figure is indicated with the average symbol (f).
If you resume exercising within 4 minutes, the display changes to Room
Temperature (fig. 1). The distance is added to the total number of kilometres.
All other figures are not stored.
Note
Press the +/- button to move to the next or the previous display section.
Press the Set button to return to the Input mode. All previous exercising data
are deleted. Settings are not deleted.
7.0 Display on resumption of training
When you resume exercising, the figures continue to count.
8.0 Measurement of recovery pulse
The training computer features a recovery-pulse function. This allows you to
measure your pulse rate during the recovery period following exercising. When
you finish exercising, press the recovery-pulse button. The current pulse
figure is accepted under Time (1) (fig. 19). The computer then measures your
pulse rate for 59 seconds counting downwards (fig. 19). Following this, the
current pulse rate is accepted under Strokes (2). Under Kilojoules (3), the dif-
ference in the pulse figures during the downward count appears and a fitness
mark (F) is displayed (fig. 20). The calculation process is explained in section
9.0 General Notes. If the pulse measurement is interrupted, the letter (P) appears
instead of a figure. To return to the current training display, press the Recover
button. The current pulse is always displayed under Pulse (5).

not activated.

9.0 General notes
Calculation of overall number of kilometres
1 oar stroke is equivalent to a distance of 5 metres.
Calculation of kilojoules
Medically, the energy consumption produced by rowing is as follows: 1 hour
of rowing at a stroke frequency of 40 leads to a consumption of 2930 kJ
per minute.
1 kilometre results in 244 kilojoules.
The calculation is based on the medium-load setting and alters only on variation
of stroke frequency.
Calculation of fitness mark
The computer calculates and assesses the difference between the pulse rate
during exercising and during recovery and awards the fitness mark according
to the following formula:
10 x ( P1 — P2 )
2
Note (
F
) = 6 —
( P1 )
P1 = Exercising pulse rate
P2 = Recovery pulse rate
Mark 1 = very good Mark 6 = extremely poor
Comparing the pulse rates during exercising and subsequent recovery is a
fast and simple method of gauging physical fitness. The fitness mark is a
rough guideline for estimating your ability to recover from physical exertion.
Before pressing the Recovery-pulse button and checking your fitness, you
are advised to row within your "safe" range for at least 10 minutes, if
possible longer. Regular exercise will gradually improve your fitness mark.
Calculation of average figure
In order to calculate the average for stroke frequency and pulse rate, all the
training periods are taken into account until the "Reset" function is activated
or the "Temperature" display appears.
Notes on pulse-rate measurement
The pulse-rate measurement starts when the heart symbol in the display flashes
in time with your heartbeat.
Cardio Puls Set
Follow the instructions for using the Cardio Puls Set.
Interference in the pulse-rate display
Check the voltage of the batteries for the electronics and the chest belt.
Malfunction of training computer
Note the number of kilometres. If the computer behaves abnormally, remove
the batteries, check them, and replace them.
The total number of kilometres is cancelled when the batteries are changed.
