Connect your Merach rower

All supported Merach rowing machines connect to EXR using Bluetooth only.

How to connect your Merach rowing machine

Open EXR and go to the Device Connection screen.
Wake up your rower by pulling the handle a few times.
On some models, you can also press the Start or Reset button on the console.
Click Connect Rower in EXR.
Select your rowing machine from the list:
- MRK-R14-xxxx
- MRK-R26-xxxx
- MRK-R28-xxxx
- MRK-Q3-xxxx
- MRK-Q1S-xxxx
- MRK-R15-xxxx
- MRK-R11S-xxxx

Once connected, your rowing data should appear automatically in EXR.

If you stop rowing or press buttons on the console during your workout, the Bluetooth connection may temporarily disconnect.

Simply pull the handle a few times to reconnect automatically.

The display turning off on the Merach R14 WaterRower while connected to EXR is normal behaviour.

This can happen when connected to devices such as a TV, tablet, laptop, or computer and does not affect rowing data or connection quality.

The following rowers use stroke-rate-based power calculations:

Higher stroke rates automatically generate higher watt values on these models.

Because of this, some Training Modes may have limitations since EXR normally treats stroke rate and power as separate values.

The NovaRow R50 AirRower is not affected by this behaviour.
