Configuring Sensors - Timex Cycle Trainer 2.0 Manual Del Usuario

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.
1. Make sure you are at least 30 feet away from other sensors.
2. Turn on the sensor.
3. From the main menu, highlight CONFIGURATION, then press ENTER.
4. Highlight ACCESSORIES, then press ENTER.
5. Highlight SENSORS, then press ENTER.
6. Highlight the field for the sensor you want to connect, then press ENTER.
7. Highlight SCAN, then press ENTER.
A SEARCHING... message appears. When field changes from SCAN to ON, the Cycle Trainer is receiving data
from the sensor.
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
amount of force or "work" your feet are applying to the pedals as you ride. This work is measured in watts.
An important term used when discussing training with power meters is "threshold". Threshold is the maximum
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.
For more information about threshold and how to train for it, visit the
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.
seTTIng Your Threshold
Enter your threshold as a starting point for calculating power zones.
1. From the main menu, highlight CONFIGURATION, then press ENTER.
2. Highlight ACCESSORIES, then press ENTER.
3. Highlight POWER SETTING, then press ENTER to open the POWER SETTING screen.
4. Highlight the THRESHOLD field, then press ENTER.
5. Press  or  to change numbers, then press ENTER.
seleCTIng Your poWer VIeW
You can choose to view power data in Watts (W) or as a percentage of your threshold (%).
1. From the POWER SETTING screen, highlight the VIEW field, then press ENTER.
2. Highlight W or %, then press ENTER.
seTTIng poWer Zones
The values for each of the 6 power zones are calculated automatically based on your threshold, but you can
instead enter your own values in each zone.
1. From the POWER SETTING screen, highlight the ZONES field, then press ENTER.
2. Highlight CUSTOM, then press ENTER.
3. Highlight a value in the zone, then press ENTER.
4. Press  or  to change numbers, then press ENTER.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each zone.
