SpeedCoach OC Mounting Plate
For the best mounting results, you will want to choose a spot
where the mounting plate is ush to the deck. You will also
want to ensure that the SpeedCoach will be clear of your
paddle blade when switching hands and does not force you
to look DOWN and alter your paddling form.
After choosing a mounting location, clean this location with
the provided alcohol swabs to remove all dirt and debris from
the board. Allow a minimum of 5 minutes for the alcohol to
evaporate from the board. Unclip the mounting plate from
the SpeedCoach bracket. Remove the paper liner from the
mounting plate tape. Press down and hold the mounting
plate in the chosen mounting location for at least 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT! Wait at least 12 hours before clipping the
SpeedCoach bracket into the mounting plate or attaching
the SpeedCoach unit.
Wrap the excess lanyard around the base of the mount,
making sure you leave enough slack on the lanyard to attach
it to the leash mount. Mark on one side a point where the
leash mount can be installed. Use alcohol as above to clean
this spot on the board. Press down and hold the leash mount
to install. Pull lanyard through the leash mount opening and
wrap the lanyard loop around the SpeedCoach unit to hold in
place (Fig3).

be time based or distance based. If more than one interval is
being performed, a number will be added to this entry (i.e., Work1,
Work2, Work3, etc).
Rest: Denes the amount of rest in between work intervals.
Rest can be time based or distance based. The number shown
to the right is the rest value per the unit shown. Similarly if more
than one rest period is entered in a variable workout, it will be
followed by a number.
Number of Sets: Select the number of sets of the proceeding interval workout to run. For
example if you have a workout with a work and rest interval, setting this to 2 will run this work
and rest interval workout twice.
Rest Between Sets: Only appears if Number of Sets is greater than 1. Denes the rest period
between a repeated group of intervals.

Display Setup
Allows you to set the top two windows to display any of the measurements available.
Accessory Setup
Select this option to pair your Heart Rate belt (TP Version only).
HRM Setup*
Selecting this option will automatically attempt to pair the Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) Belt with the
unit. If more than one belt is found, you may need to change locations to isolate belt. The HRM
will automatically turn on when attached to your body. The belt works best with moisture, so if you
are not getting a reading, place some moisture on the rubber contacts of the belt before attaching
to your body. Once the belt has been paired with the unit, you will not need to pair in the future
(unless you select Forget HRM or change belts).
Speed/Distance Setup
Options are Speed mode or Split mode. Speed mode will display your speed in the top left window.
Split mode will display your pace expressed as a time to cover a distance. Units allows you to change
the units shown for speed and distance (options are: M, M/S, /500M, /1000M; KM, KMH, /500M,
/1000M; or MI, MPH, /MI).
Input
The Speed (and distance) Input setting can be set to GPS or Impeller. Please note that you will need a
wiring harness and impeller to use the Impeller mode.
Auto Pause
If toggled ON, the unit will stop the timer if it does not detect a stroke within the last 6 seconds. If
toggled OFF, the unit will not stop the timer even if no strokes are being detected. If you would like to
stop the timer manually, please select the button to start and stop the timer manually. Please
note: the unit will not Auto Pause during the Rest sessions of a Workout.
Auto Shutdown
When Auto Shutdown is set to 10min, the unit will automatically shut o after 10 minutes of not
detecting a stroke rate. If the Auto Shutdown is set to OFF, the unit will only turn o when the user
manually shuts the unit down.
NOTE: Average Speed is always calculated as a function of the distance covered in the elapsed time shown.
Because the timer will continue to run while you are not rowing, turning Auto Pause “OFF” will impact the
calculation of your cumulative average speed.
ADVANCED SETUP MENU
Impeller Calibration
To change your Calibration Value or run the calibration routine (see below).
GPS Spd Smoothing, Strokes
The Speed Smoothing feature will average the last number of strokes selected. If“2”is selected, for
example, the Speed/Split displayed will be an average of the last two strokes, updated every stroke.
Stroke Rate Setup
Options are Timer Start Acceleration, Noise Filtering and Axis.
Timer Start Acceleration
Governs the degree of acceleration that must be detected to start the stroke meter. The default value
is 4. If you increase this value, a more forceful stroke is needed to start the timer. If you decrease this
value, a less forceful stroke is needed to start the timer.
Noise Filtering
Governs the degree to which the accelerometer will register changes in acceleration as a stroke. The
default value is 3. If you increase this value, more acceleration is needed to register a stroke. If you
decrease this value, less acceleration is needed to register a stroke.
Axis
Allows you to select Front-Back (2) or Any (3). Front-Back (2) is generally recommended for rowing
assuming that the unit will be mounted perpendicular to the long axis of the boat. If mounting at a
non-perpendicular axis, the recommendation is to toggle to Any (3).
Time and Date
Used to change the format of the date and time displayed. Please note: only time shows on the display,
date will be shown on data recall screen. Please note in most U.S. locations daylight savings time is ON in
the summer and OFF in the winter.
Diagnostics
The Diagnostics screen provides information about the performance of your unit’s GPS receiver, acceler-
ometer, HRM*, clock, and charging system. This information assists NK tech support in case your unit is
not functioning correctly.
IMPELLER CALIBRATION
Calibration is only relevant if you are using your SpeedCoach OC with a wiring harness and speed
impeller. The Calibration Value is an adjustment factor that compensates for any dierence between your
impeller’s distance measurement and the “standard boat”upon which the SpeedCoach’s calculations
are based. Calibration applies only when in Impeller mode for speed and distance can average out any
impact of current or tide to improve the accuracy of the calibration results.
Entering Impeller Calibration
Select “Impeller Calibration”from the Advanced Setup Menu.
Entering a Calibration Value Manually
If you know your boat’s SpeedCoach Calibration Value from previous calibration (it is the same for any
SpeedCoach), you may enter it manually. From the Calibration Menu, press to select the Calibration
Value, then press to adjust the value, and to accept the value.
Running the Calibration Routine
The SpeedCoach OC does not need a measured course to be calibrated. Because the SpeedCoach
OC knows both the GPS and Impeller distance measured, it can self-calibrate. Calibration simply
involves rowing the selected distance in two directions. Your distance options are 500 to 1000M.
Although a longer distance will somewhat improve the accuracy of your calibration, is important to
choose a calibration distance that you can row in a relatively straight line in both directions. Ideally, it
will also have relatively consistent current throughout. The Calibration Routine requires that you row
your course in both directions so the unit can average out any impact of current and tide to improve
the accuracy of the calibration result through more comparison data.
If you wish to change your calibration distance from 500M, press to move to the distance line,
to select, then to adjust and to accept.
To run the calibration routine, press to highlight Run on the Calibration Menu, then
to select. From the calibration screen, press to start each calibration leg and follow the screen
prompts. On each leg, the land distance and water distance will count up until the selected distance
is reached in the land distance window (bottom left). Note that there will be a three- or four-stroke
delay at the start of each leg while the GPS and impeller readings are synchronized. At the end of the
routine, the newly calculated Calibration Value will be displayed. Press to accept the new value
and exit the routine, or press to exit the routine without changing your Calibration Value.
At any time while running the calibration routine, you can press to exit the routine without
changing your calibration value.
