It is very important to set the Zero offset before each ride, so the PowerControl knows
the frequency output of the PowerMeter with
no load on the chain
.
Without a pre-ride zeroing, the measured power may be wrong.
Please pair the PowerMeter before, so that the signal is picked up!
Press
and
at the same time to enter the Zero Offset Menu.
The first screen shows the Zero Offset Menu for the PowerMeter.
There are 2 numbers on the display:
The top number is the real-time frequency output of the PowerMeter
The bottom number is the stored Zero Offset
If the top number is zero, turn the PowerMeter on by pedaling backwards.
Then,
let go of the crank and make sure nothing is touching it
.
If the top number is still Zero, please check:
•
That the sensor is paired (see page 2)
•
The position of the magnet
•
If the battery is charged
•
If it is still not working, please get in touch with the Service Center
After the top number stabilizes, press
to store
the new
Zero Offset
of the PowerMeter.
Press
to exit
You can adjust the Altitude by pressing
or
.
will bring you back to main menu.
The altitude measurement depends on the current weather conditions
(barometric pressure) and temperature, so it has to be calibrated before every
ride. HINT: Try checking Google Earth for the altitude to use for the calibration.
In the SRM Windows Software, you can switch between feet or meters for measuring the altitude.
