Overview
For the serious athlete, the XL4 offers a complete performance monitoring system that maximizes the effectiveness of your training and coaching, for less that the cost of a pair of sculls. The Speed Coach XL4 combines ALL of the
benefits of the XL2 and XL3 models.
As
an athlete, you get all of the benefits of monitoring your heart
rate in the shell, together with the ability to transmit your performance
data when you're working with a coach.
As a coach, you can be certain
that your athletes are not exceeding or falling short of your intensity
targets. And
you don't need two XL4's to transmit and monitor heart rate; the
coach can use an XL3 unit so long as there's an XL4 in the rowing
shell.
We're often asked by coaches whether they can monitor heart
rate on more than one athlete in a crew. At present, NK can only
guarantee interference-free readings for XL heart rate monitors
when there is only ONE chest-belt transmitter within a 6-foot range
of the heart rate sensor at any time. As a result, it is possible
to use two monitors in a pair or double by placing the stroke seat
sensor close to the stern end of the seat deck, and the bow-seat
sensor close to the bow end of the deck. In larger shells, the
monitors and sensors will need to be at least two seats apart (i.e.
at 2 and 4 seats, not at 2 and 3 seats).
Within these limitations,
each athlete you wish to monitor will need an XL4, heart rate sensor
and chest belt transmitter. To monitor and transmit heart rate
only, simply secure the XL units and sensors at each seat (we sell
an inexpensive mount with no wires for this purpose). Each XL4
can be named with the seat number or athlete's name to facilitate
review. As you page through the transmitted data in the coach's
launch, you will see each athlete's heart rate on their data screen.
If a unit is mounted on a full Speed Coach wiring harness, that
unit will also transmit performance data. If you would like the
athletes to have have access to full performance information on
their XL units, you can install multiple wiring harnesses reading
from the same impeller. This will also permit easier review of
stored heart rate data coordinated with stored performance data
for the shell.
Note: NK is continuing to develop technology that will permit
use of XL heart rate monitors in multiple contiguous seats.

Multi-Country Availability (XL3 and XL4
Only):
In the USA and Canada, the FCC regulates the frequencies
available for the technology employed in the XL radio units. We're
limited in our capacity to provide these products in other countries
by the regulatory bodies in those countries and the frequencies
they have made available. At present, we have XL3 and XL4 models
for USA, Canada and Australia. We have models in development for
shipment Fall 2006 for Europe (including the United Kingdom).
These
models are likely to less resistant to interference when two coach/boat
networks overlap within their range, and also to be somewhat more
expensive than the US units due to the costs of complying with
additional regulations. New Zealand remains a possibility in the
future as well, but we have no word on the availability of approved
radios for other regions. We apologize for disappointed expectations
in these regions, and will continue to work to these areas online
as soon as regulations permit. These limitations do not affect
the XL1 and XL2 models which will be available world-wide.
