Why won’t Concept2 rower track distance correctly?

Possible Reasons for Inaccurate Distance Tracking on Concept2 Rower

• Sensor Misalignment: The sensor that tracks the rower’s motion might be misaligned, leading to incorrect distance measurements.
• Loose Connections: Wires connecting the sensor to the main monitor may be loose, causing interruptions in data transmission.
• Dirt and Debris: Accumulation of dirt or dust on the sensor or rail can interfere with its accurate readings.
• Software Glitches: The computer software that calculates distance might have glitches or may be outdated.
• User Technique: Inconsistent rowing technique can affect the ability of the machine to measure distance accurately.

Fixing the Distance Tracking Issue

• Check Sensor Alignment: Inspect the rower's sensor to ensure it is properly aligned. Adjust as needed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Secure Connections: Examine all the cables and wires to ensure they are securely connected. Tighten any loose connections.
• Clean the Equipment: Regularly clean the sensor and the rail with a soft cloth to remove any dirt or grime that might obstruct readings.
• Update Software: Ensure that the monitor’s firmware is up-to-date. Check the Concept2 website for the latest updates and apply them if needed.
