Frequently Asked Questions - SGXCA500S PIONEER

How to change the batteries of the Pioneer SGXCA500S?

Remove the transmitter cover (screw for right, turn for left). Remove the old CR2032 battery and install the new one observing polarity. Close the cover, tightening screws to 30 cN·m. The LEDs should light up green for 10 seconds.

How to switch between pedaling monitor mode and power meter mode?

Remove the right transmitter cover, turn the crank 3 times to activate the sensors. Briefly press (< 2 s) the pushbutton to check the mode (green = monitor, orange = power). To switch, press > 2 s until the LEDs flash green, then release; the mode changes. Close the cover.

How to pair the sensor with the SGX-CA500 bike computer?

Make sure the sensor is in pedaling monitor mode. On the SGX-CA500, go to 'Sensors' > 'New connection', select 'Pedaling Monitor D' then 'Pedaling Monitor G'. Turn the crank 3 times to activate the transmitters, then start the search. Check the instrument number and error rate. If 'OK', pairing is successful.

Why do the LEDs not light up after installing batteries?

Check that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity (+/-). If they are flat, replace with new ones. Wait at least 1 minute after removing batteries before reinserting. If the problem persists, contact the dealer.

How to perform zero point calibration?

Place the bike on a flat surface, crank perpendicular to the ground. On the SGX-CA500, go to 'Sensors', select 'Pedaling Monitor D' then 'Calibration (zero)'. Tap 'Start calibration'. If 'Success' appears, calibration is good. Repeat if 'Failure' (crank moves). Do the same for the left side.

What to do if pairing between left and right sensors fails?

Check that both transmitters are in power meter mode (orange LED) if using a third-party bike computer. Press the pushbutton >2 s to switch. If the LEDs flash red 5 times, pairing has failed; bring the sensors closer and try again.

What is the recommended maintenance for the sensor?

Clean the transmitters, strain gauge unit, and magnet with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Never use solvents. Use a torque tool to tighten screws to 30 cN·m. Remove the batteries if not used for a long time.

Is the sensor compatible with all ANT+ bike computers?

Yes, in power meter mode (orange LED), it works with any compatible ANT+ bike computer. In pedaling monitor mode, it requires a Pioneer SGX-CA500 or CA900 to display pedaling efficiency.

What does a tangential force value different from 0 N in the effort preview mean?

If the value exceeds ±3 N, the zero point is poorly calibrated. Recalibrate following the procedure (crank perpendicular, no force). A non-zero force may also indicate that the crank is moving or there is external stress.

How to resolve a pairing failure with the bike computer?

Check the batteries, sensor mode, move away from interference sources (microwaves, other sensors). If multiple sensors are nearby, specify the instrument number in the bike computer. Bring the bike computer close to the sensor and try again.

Pairing with the Cyclocomputer

This section describes how to pair the installed SGY-PM910H pedaling monitor sensors on your bicycle to the SGX-CA500 Cyclocomputer.

• This pairing procedure may be different if you are using a cyclocomputer other than the Pioneer SGX-CA500/CA900. Please refer to your cyclocomputer's owner manual for sensor pairing.

1. Check the sensor modes.

Check that the right transmitter and the left transmitter are in "Pedaling monitor mode."

See page 10 to switch the modes.

2. Tap the [Sensors] icon in the home screen of the SGX-CA500.

The sensor list screen opens.

3. Rotate the bicycle's crank set more than three rotations to start the left and right transmitters.

After the transmitters are activated, it may take more than 1 minute to pair with the Cyclocomputer.

Pair with the Cyclocomputer within 5 minutes after the transmitters are activated.

4. Tap [Connect New] in the sensor list screen of the SGX-CA500.

The sensor connection menu opens.

5. Tap [Device Type] and then [Pedaling Monitor R].

For the left transmitter, tap [Pedaling Monitor L].

If multiple sensors are activated, bring the main unit closer to the sensor, or specify the device number to pair the sensor you want to pair. Refer to the User's Guide of the Cyclocomputer SGX-CA500 regarding how to specify a device number to pair a sensor.

6. Tap [Search].

The search for the sensor starts.

A [Searching. Please wait.] message appears.

7. Check the information about the sensor.

Information about the sensors appears when the sensors are found.

Check the following items.

[Device Number]

Make sure that the device number is the same as the device number of the transmitter.

[Error Rate]

Make sure that "OK" is displayed.

Pedaling Monitor R
Device Number	64
Manufacturer Number	48
Error Rate	OK

The device numbers are printed on the right junction box and on the side of the left sensor. Refer to the Installation Manual for details.

If the numbers that are displayed on [Device Number] are different from the transmitter device numbers, specify the device numbers to pair with the sensor.

Refer to the User's Guide of the Cyclocomputer SGX-CA500 regarding how to specify a device number to pair a sensor.

If "Processing..." is displayed in the [Error Rate] area, the information from the sensor is not being received correctly because transmission conditions are bad. Make sure that the sensor you are pairing is activated, then bring the SGX-CA500 closer to the sensor and perform the pairing operation again.

Pairing with the sensor may not be possible due to the influence of the 2.4 GHz frequency band. If "Processing..." is displayed even if the SGX-CA500 is moved closer to the sensor and paired with it, try again someplace where there is no interference from microwaves, radio waves, or wireless equipment.

Pairing of the right transmitter is completed.

Next, pair the left transmitter.

Calibrating the Sensors

This section describes how to use the Cyclocomputer SGX-CA500 to calibrate the zero point of the pedaling monitor sensor that is installed on the bicycle. Zero point calibration is a function to store the zero point (no-load), where no forces act on the crank, in the sensor memory.

The right-side pedaling monitor sensor is used as an example in this description. The procedure to calibrate the left side is the same as for the right side. Please do not push the push switch in the right transmitter while calibrating the sensor or showing [Force Preview] with the Cyclocomputer SGX-CA500.

Getting Ready

1. Stop the bicycle on a flat safe place.

Calibrating the Zero Point

1. Position the crank arm so it is perpendicular to the ground, pointing downward.

1. Tap the [Sensors] icon in the home screen of the SGX-CA500.
   The sensor list screen opens.
2. Tap [Pedaling Monitor R] and then [Calibration (Zero)].
3. Tap [Start Calibration].

The calibration starts. If the calibration is successful, "Success" appears in the [Result] field. If "Failure" is displayed, the sensor may be calibrated in an unstable condition causing the crank to be moving during the calibration. Calibrate again with the crank stopped.

This product has a correction function for the zero point fluctuation caused by varying temperatures.

The accuracy of this function improves by calibrating the sensor when there is a difference in temperature of more than 4^ .

This function cannot measure correctly if you calibrate the sensor before it is acclimated to the outside temperature.

The sensor requires more than 20 minutes to become acclimated.

Checking the Zero Point

1. Position the crank arm so it is perpendicular to the ground, pointing downward.

2. Tap [Pedaling Monitor R] in the sensor list screen of the SGX-CA500.

3. Confirm the value in [Force Preview].

Make sure that the [Tangential Direction Force] and [Radial Direction Force] values are as shown here. Tangential Direction Force: 0 ± 3N Radial Direction Force: 0 ± 3N

Force Preview
Tangential Force	ON
Radial Force	ON

Calibration of the right side is finished. Calibrate the left side in the same way.

Calibrating in Power Meter Mode

When calibrating the sensors in power meter mode, position the crank arm so it is perpendicular to the ground, do the procedure to the left and right sides together. Refer to the User's Manual of the Cyclocomputer you are using for details.
