Chapter 1: Starting Out Installing Mount CycleOps Joule™ 3.0 comes with a mount designed for the indoor cycle handlebar. The Joule™ 3.0 can also mount onto a more road like profile. The Joule™ 3.0 mount is only included with the CycleOps Pro Series indoor cycles (200 Pro, 300 Pro and 400 Pro). 1. Place bracket onto the handlebars as shown. 2. Insert two screws through Joule™ 3. Slide the Joule™ down combracket, handlebar bracket, and pletely down onto the bracket. tighten together.
Chapter 1: Starting Out Mount The CycleOps Joule™ 3.0 also includes a more road style mount. This can be used for a lower profile. This mount can be oriented in either stem or handlebar orientations. The mount is preassembled for the stem orientation. 1. For stem orientation insert two zip ties through bottom of mount and secure to stem. 4. Be sure to check Joule™™, is secure in mount. Joule 3.0 User Guide page 6 2. Slide Joule™™ down above mount. 5.
Chapter 1: Starting Out Mount If desired, change from the preassembled stem orientation to a handlebar orientation. 1. Remove screw that holds bottom of mount and rotate bottom 90 degrees. 2. Insert screw threw bottom of mount. 3. Insert two zip ties through bottom of mount. Tighten by pulling on the zip ties to secure mount. 4. Handlebar orientation. Joule 3.
Chapter 1: Starting Out HEART RATE MONITOR Position the heart rate monitor strap above torso as pictured. The strap should rest just beneath the pectoralis muscles of the chest. For best results slightly moisten the electrodes where contact is made with skin. The heart rate strap must be worn to enable the heart rate function. It should be snug enough to stay in place during the ride. NOTE: The chest strap for Joule™ uses a coded frequency and is not compatible with other manufacturer’s chest straps.
Chapter 1: Starting Out Battery CycleOps Joule™ 3.0 is powered by a built-in lithium-ion battery that can be recharged using the included USB cable and a computer. A 5VDC 400mA charger can also be used (not included). A fully charged battery can run for approximately 20 hours before it must be recharged. Recharging completely will take approximately three hours. The battery level is indicated in the title bar. WARNING: This product contains a Lithium battery.
