DESCRIPTION The Pilot assembly consists of a console, a magnet, and a transmitter. A sensor in the transmitter counts the number of times a magnet mounted in the right crank passes the sensor. The transmitter will then send a coded RF (radio frequency) signal to the console containing the measured values. The console has inboard receivers that pick up the signals from the transmitter and from telemetry (chest strap) heart rate signals. The heart rate is then shown in the display window.
DESCRIPTION Transmitter Battery Installation: 1. Remove the battery cover from the transmitter. 2. Install 3 AA batteries in the battery compartment and reinstall the battery cover. NOTE: • • • • Page 8 Excessive use of the back light [ ]will drain the console batteries prematurely. Expected life of the console batteries is 6 months to 1 year.

DISPLAY WINDOW CADENCE HEART RATE TIME INST 110 50:00 146 19.0 DISTANCE 350 CALORIES (KCAL) CADENCE Cadence is the measurement of how fast the cranks are rotating in RPM’s. The approximate speed of the bike can also be displayed (MPH/KPH) in this area. TIME Time is the length of time (min:sec) since you pressed the start button. DISTANCE Distance is the measurement of the approximate distance of the bike if the user was riding a bike with tires the same size of the flywheel.
KCAL Kcal is the approximation of calories burned during your workout. The calories are estimated by measuring your instantaneous heart rate (HR) and factoring in your age, ambient HR, and weight. HEART RATE This is the measurement , by telemetry (chest strap), of your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). You must wear a chest strap during your workout in order to see your heart rate.
QUICK START PROGRAM Any time you want to bypass entering your personal data and start using the meter, simply press any key to turn on the console. After you press the [START] key, the timer will start counting and the console will start tracking usage information. The Pilot will calculate calories burned based on the following default perimeters for Quick Start Workout: Ambient Heart Rate (AHR): Age: Weight: 70 bpm 30 Years old 175 lbs.

Use the ∧] or [∨ ∨] key to change the default weight to your [∧ weight.
KEY FUNCTIONS [START] The start key will start the timer and enable the cadence meter to begin calculating HR and Kcal values. [CLEAR] • A short press (< 3 sec) of the clear key will reset the time, distance and calorie measurements. • Pressing and holding the clear key (> 3sec) will reset the AVG (average) and MAX (maximum) values for cadence and HR measurements.
[∨ ] The down arrow allows you to decrease the default max HR, min HR, ambient HR, age, and weight to select your values for target heart zone training and calorie calculations. [HR] • A short press of the heart rate key allows you to change the display of the HR section of the display window between INST (instantaneous) HR, AVG (average) HR and MAX (maximum) HR.
[ ] Pressing the light key will back-light the display window for 5 seconds. If another key is pressed while the light is on, the back light will stay on for an additional 5 seconds. As long as keys are pressed with the back light on, the console light will stay on. Note: When the back light is on, all calculations are suspended during this time and heart rate and cadence is not detected.
CADENCE TRAINING Definition of Cadence How rapidly the cranks are rotated or the rhythm of the pedal stroke; often referred to as RPM (revolutions per minute). Concepts using Cadence for training You can choose the goal of your workout in relation to Resistance, Cadence, and Heart Rate . The intensity of your workout is affected by pedal speed change and the resistance applied.
Resistance Used Speed Change Effects on Heart Rate Light Light Moderate Moderate Lower RPM Higher RPM Lower RPM Higher RPM Heavy Heavy Lower RPM Higher RPM HR remains relaxed HR begins to rise HR near to steady state HR rises from steady state HR rises - hard effort HR rises very hard to maximal effort Warm-Up Warm up is of critical importance to the success of your cycling. The demands of your riding profile should be prepared in the warm-up to achieve maximal results.
Heart Zone HEART RATE TRAINING Training Concepts Based on Heart Rate Monitor Book for Indoor and Outdoor Cyclists by Sally Edwards and Sally Reed. A. Definition: A physical, mental and emotional fitness system which maximizes your training, minimizes your time, and results in measurable cardiovascular health benefits. B. Heart Zone Training (HZT): A system of setting goals, then organizing and executing around them by using a range of heartbeats. C. Principles: 1.
Ambient HR: the number of beats per minute your heart contracts when you are awake but in a sedentary and stationary position. Peak HR: highest heart rate during any one workout period. Recovery HR: the number of beats per minute your heart drops after exercise, usually measured after two minutes of rest. Average HR: the arithmetic average of your heart rate for a period of time. Steady State HR: that heart rate which is held at the same number throughout the exercise period.
B. Determine your fitness goal: 1. Base - individuals just starting their workout program need to build up to this level gradually. 2. Endurance 3. Strength 4. Speed 5. Power C.

No Heart Rate signal displayed 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.) Cadence number jumps high or low 1. 2. Separate bikes that may be set to the same console code and are cross-talking, or change the console and transmitter codes on the bike (see Appendix). Relocate the bike to a different part of the room, away from any RF interfernce areas. ! CAUTION EXTERNAL INTERFERENCE MAY BE CAUSED BY NEARBY TELEVISIONS, STEREO EQUIPMENT, SPEAKERS, ELECTRICAL WIRE CABLING, ETC.
APPENDIX Notice of FCC Compliance This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class C Low Power Communication Device Transmitter, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. There is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
APPENDIX Changing the Console and Transmitter Codes The console and the transmitter have dip switches that allow you to change the transmission code back and for the between a total of 16 different number codes (00-15) to help reduce cross talking between bikes in a class environment. Cross talking is when one bike picks up the RF signal from another bike, and interferes with the displayed numbers on the console.
APPENDIX Dip Switch Codes Match the code on the console to the code on the transmitter by flipping the dip switches on each unit to the corresponding up/ down sequences for the desired code as listed below.
APPENDIX Console Codes [CADENCE] + [HR] Pressing both these keys switches from English units - Miles (Mi), Miles per hour (MPH), and pounds (Lbs); to Metric units - Kilometers (Km), kilometers per hour (KPH), and kilograms (Kg). ∧] [CADENCE] + [∧ Pressing both these keys displays the console code. Note: the console will not display the transmitter code, you must remove the belt cover and visually inspect the transmitter to see what code it is set at.
