What type of heartrate monitor can we use with RowPro?
Ideally you should use a heartrate monitor whose signal can be picked up by your Concept2 Performance Monitors. Basically if the PMs can show heartrate on their display, then RowPro can also see, chart and record heartrate. You can however use any heartrate monitor, even if its signal can not be picked up by your Concept2 Performance Monitors, for example ones that uses a watch to display heartrate. Of course in this case RowPro will not be able to see, chart or record heartrates, but at least members will know what their heartrate is, so they’ll be able to stay within their target heart rate range. The usual heartrate monitor used with a PM2+ or PM3 monitor is a Polar HRM with a pickup and cable that connects into the back of your PM2+ or the bottom of your PM3 monitors. The usual heartrate monitor used with the PM4 is a Suunto HRM. This wirelessly transmits heartrate direct to the PM4. Of all the heartrate monitoring arrangements, this is the best option.
