POWERED BY YOUR ROWING

LOOK MUM!—NO BATTERIES—EVER. YOU ARE THE POWER.

Although the new Mark IV has a rechargeable battery, you may never need to connect to mains power. The Rowperfect sensor ring will provide enough power in most circumstances to keep the battery fully charged. If the battery does need charging, simply connect to the transformer. So no expensive batteries, and no time wasted travelling to obtain them.

TOUCH SCREEN
Simply touch the screen gently with your finger nail to direct the superbly intuitive program—set up the workout you want, the screen configuration you desire—perfectly tailored to your choice of boat and with results calculated at your bodyweight.

Rowperfect’s calculation algorithms have been tested and proven by World and Olympic Champions for over a decade.

FEATURES
All the features of the Rowperfect DOS interface, with added performance-critical innovations. So: stroke length, power per stroke, energy per stroke, time per 500 metres in ANY boat class, interval countdowns, distance travelled in your choice of boat—they’re all there, but see if these NEW features won’t allow you to take your training to a new level:

  • Distance per Stroke
  • Drive time
  • Drive ratio
  • Split times per 100, 250, 500, 1000 metres—you choose
  • Intervals pre-set in Energy, Distance, Time, Number of Strokes—and all recorded at sessions end for you to review

Store and record sessions, strokes or training sessions on the removable MultiMedia Card (MMC).

Screen settings variable—large REAL TIME FORCE CURVE (yes, with template if desired) or BAR GRAPH (last 100 strokes or sample of longer sessions) or PACER (race a stored session) or NUMERICAL ONLY (choice of a number of numerical values, no graphs). All screen settings include the ability to choose several variables—for example, display E/stroke or Heart Rate or P/stroke or Stroke Length under your Force Curve.

COMPUTER INTERFACE INCLUDED
That’s right—the Mark IV includes the Rowperfect Computer Interface, so you can connect to your PC and display your stroke on a large screen. The Mark IV includes a cable and software for the Rowperfect DOS program. Or upgrade to the new Rowperfect for Windows (RPW) package—fully compatible with all versions of Windows, and able to operate either via the serial port or via a commercially available Serial to USB convertor cable and your USB port.

The Mk IV can be connected to a computer running either SEAN or RPW. The cable to enable this comes with the MK IV, as does RPW (but NOT SEAN). Once connected to a computer the MK IV screen shuts down automatically, and RPW/SEAN runs on the computer screen. As soon as the connection to the computer is disconnected, the MK IV screen re-activates.

RETRO FITTING
Most older Rowperfect rowing simulators can be retrofitted with the MARK IV Interface. For details contact your authorised Rowperfect Agent.
