MODE functions for POWER (Watt)

When the 2nd line is set to power (Watt), TRP means the trip consumption, MAX the maximum power 
and AVS the average power. The trip consumption is calculated on the basis of the elapsed time and 
the power output. This is indicated in kilocalories or kilojoules.

MODE functions for HEART RATE

When the 2nd line is set to heart rate, MAX means the maximum heart rate and AVS the average 
heart rate.

 

If the Flow computer does not receive a heart rate signal before the training begins, the heart rate function is not 
shown. As soon as a heart rate signal is received during the training, this function will become available. When the 
heart rate signal is interrupted during cycling, three dashes will appear in place of the heart rate value.

Average indicator

This function indicates whether the training information shown on the 1st line is average, above 
average or below average.

The Flow allows you to train by slope (%) and power (Watt). Slope makes use of the trainer's cylinder 
and is adjustable in 14 steps from -4 to +9 (-4 is equivalent to an actual downhill slope of 4% and the 
same applies for the 9% uphill slope). During power training the computer adjusts the resistance of 
the cylinder so you always pedal at the selected power setting. You can set this from 10 to 990 Watts 
in 10 Watt steps.

Setting training value

When you press 

SET

, the slope at the lower left begins to flash. Use the 

Arrow keys

 to change the set-

ting and 

MODE

 to confirm. The slope is shown on the display in the form of vertical bars. At 0 a hori-

zontal bar is shown.

Once you press 

SET

 and the slope begins to flash, if you press 

SET

 again the power setting begins to 

flash. You can adjust this setting with the 

Arrow keys

. Press 

MODE 

to confirm the setting.

Operating range 

The brake indicator is a visual representation of the brake position. Here you can see at a glance 
whether the brake is still within the operating range. As the braking unit applies the brakes, the height 
of the bar increases. The set power is not braked if the bar is at its minimum or maximum height; in 
this situation the indicator flashes as a warning.

Adjust your speed, cadence and/or power if the brake indicator flashes, showing that the brake is outside the opera-
ting range. Select the combination appropriate for you that is applicable at that moment.

Error messages during cycling

You can find the FAQs for the Flow at 

www.tacx.com

 under SERVICE. Here you will find up-to-date 

information about what to do if an error message appears on the screen.
