CONFIGURING SENSORS
In addition to the heart rate sensor included with the Cycle Trainer, you can connect optional speed, cadence,
combined speed/cadence and power sensors to the device to help you train. You can also calibrate the
integral barometer.
ConneCting SenSorS
If you connect a speed or speed/cadence sensor, that sensor will be used to collect speed data instead of the
GPS.
Connecting a cadence or speed/cadence sensor is the only way to collect cadence data during your ride.
Install physical sensors according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then follow these steps to connect the
sensor to the Cycle Trainer.

ConFigUring a poWer meter
A power meter is a device, usually attached to the bike crank or part of the rear wheel, that measures the

power output you can sustain for one hour, and is used as an indicator of general muscular endurance; the
higher your threshold, the longer your muscles can work without fatiguing.

When you connect a power meter, you can configure the threshold and 6 power zones to help you train for a
specific level of power.
