OARTEC TRAINING MONITOR User Manual - page 6

Interval Workouts

The OTM can be programmed for interval training with a set work time or distance and rest period in between. It 

can either repeat the set work and rest period or be programmed as a customized workout with variable work times, 

distances and rests. The first workout will begin when the first rowing stroke is taken. It will then run through the 

programmed intervals and repeats until complete.

On completion the monitor will display the final F screen with total time taken, total distance rowed and average 

time/500m for the entire interval workout.

The Memory function of the OTM has recorded the workout data for each individual work interval and these can 

be viewed by using the ARROW buttons. The interval number in the bottom centre display field will show the 

corresponding interval number in the series.

The OTM will store the most recent interval workout until a new workout has been programmed and started. If the 

timeout turns the monitor OFF, the most recent workout can be recalled by turning the monitor ON and pressing the 

MEMORY button, then using the ARROW button to scroll through the work interval.

During the rest period only the rest time is displayed and a beep countdown is activated in the last 5 seconds to lead 

into the next work period in the series.
