Sensors
The NODE can compute information from four sensors:
·
Cadence
·
Speed
·
Heart Rate
·
Power
Not all NODE computers are packaged with all the sensors. If your bicycle
is appropriately equipped, you can purchase a combination speed/cadence
sensor. You can also customize your computer by purchasing additional
Bontrager NODE sensors or a power sensing system of your choice from your
Bontrager dealer.
Functions of Sensors
Sensors sense impulses, either from the passing of magnets that are attached
to a spoke or a crankarm, electrical impulses generated by the pumping of your
heart, or the impulses from a power meter. When the sensor senses input, it
sends a radio signal to the NODE computer. This signal has a range of about 5
feet (1.5 meters).
Sensors Require Power
Sensors require electrical power. Each sensor gets its own power from an
individual battery. If the battery loses power, the sensor will no longer send
signals to the computer.
