LINE 1 BACKLIGHT SENSOR
While the M Series Computer is awake, the Backlight Sensor automatically detects ambient
light levels in the room and turns on the backlit display when needed.
LINE 2 RPM (CADENCE)
The RPM displays the cyclists Revolutions Per Minute on one crank arm. RPM is also known
in the cycling world as Cadence and is roughly the speed at which the cyclist is pedaling. At
above 140 RPM the computer will not read and the word “STOP” will appear to indicate that
the cyclist is pedaling faster than he or she needs to be. If the cyclist is out of the saddle and
wishes to retain the sufficient resistance, pedaling should not fall below 60 RPM.
LINE 3 POWER
The Power Output is displayed in Watts (currently generating) and Kilocalories (total value
for the workout). The computer toggles back and forth between Watts (displayed for eight
seconds) and Kilocalories (displayed for two seconds) throughout the ride. Rated
accuracy for Power is +5W for Power below 50W, and +10% for Power above 50W.
LINE 5 ELAPSED TIME
The number shown reports the total
time spent cycling and will reset to zero
after 60 seconds of inactivity or if
computer is reset using the gear shifter.
LINE 6 GEAR
Gears from 1 – 24 are displayed on the
bottom left hand of the screen.
LINE 7 ODOMETER/TRIP DISTANCE
For the first eight seconds when the
computer is first activated, the Odometer
will display the total distance the cycle
has been ridden. This feature is for service
and maintenance purposes only. After
eight seconds, the Odometer will display
Trip Distance.
LINE 4 HEART RATE
If there is no Heart Rate signal, a steady heart symbol and a zero will be displayed. If a
participant is wearing a Heart Rate strap, once the computer locks onto the signal, the
heart symbol will blink and display the heart rate. Please note that the Heart Rate strap.
AVERAGE CALCULATIONS
To view averages: RPM (Cadence),
Power, and Heart Rate at any point
in the workout, stop pedaling for three
seconds. This will flash your averages
until you start moving again or until the
computer goes to sleep after 60 seconds.
WARNING:
Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercise
may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint stop exercising immediately.
assist both the instructor and participant by providing immediate feedback as well as
tracking on-going improvement. By experiencing objective Cadence, Power Output, Gears
and Heart Rate, the participant benefits from a better overall and more effective workout.
The computer can also be used as a motivating tool to engage participants in their work-
outs. The more participants understand the components of a proper workout, the further
they can fine tune their performance. The goal is to work more effectively and efficiently,
and achieve better results.
