Pairing / Calibration 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.

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.•

Tap the [Sensors] icon in the home screen of the SGX-CA500. The sensor list screen opens.

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.

Tap [Connect New] in the sensor list screen of the SGX-CA500. The sensor connection menu opens.

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.13

Pairing / CalibrationPairing with the Cyclocomputer

Tap [Search]. The search for the sensor starts. A [Searching. Please wait.] message appears.

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. 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.14

Pairing / Calibration 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

Stop the bicycle on a flat safe place. Calibrating the Zero Point

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

Tap the [Sensors] icon in the home screen of the SGX- CA500. The sensor list screen opens.

Tap [Pedaling Monitor R] and then [Calibration (Zero)].

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.15

Pairing / CalibrationCalibrating the SensorsThis 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°C.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

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

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

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 ± 3 N• Radial Direction Force: 0 ± 3 N• 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.16

Specifications and support Troubleshooting Refer to the following suggestions if you have any problems installing or using the product. If you cannot find what you want to know here, ask the shop where you bought the product. I cannot pair with the Cyclocomputer in the power meter mode or pedaling ■ monitor mode. Cause Solution The battery is almost empty. If the LEDs do not light for more than 5 seconds after installing the batteries, remove the batteries once, and after more than 1 minute, install them again. If the LEDs still do not light, the battery may be almost empty. Replace the battery with a new one. (+) or (-) side of the battery is installed in the opposite side. Install the battery in the proper side (see page 7). Pedaling monitor sensor mode is wrong. Check the mode and pair with the Cyclocomputer again (see page 10). There are other wireless equipment or microwave ovens near by. Move away from other wireless equipment or microwave ovens. Move the sensor closer to the Cyclocomputer and pair them. Another sensor is paired with the Cyclocomputer. Move away from other sensors by more than 10 m or specify the device number to pair the Cyclocomputer. Refer to the Installation Manual. I cannot pair with the Cyclocomputer in the power meter mode. ■ Cause Solution Pairing between right and left sensors fails. Check the sensor mode by pushing the push switch. If the left and right LEDs do not light orange, push and hold the push switch to switch to power meter mode (see page 10).17

Specifications and support Troubleshooting Zero point calibration fails. ■ Cause Solution The crank is subjected to external force or moving. Calibrate the sensor in still condition (see page 14). The Cyclocomputer display is not displaying correctly while I am riding. ■ Cause Solution Zero point calibration fails. Calibrate the sensor when the values in [Force Preview] are more than ± 3 N (see page 14). There is a rattling noise when I am riding. ■ Cause Solution Screws used to install the sensor are loose. Retighten the screws. The magnet is rubbing against the sensor or transmitter while I am riding. ■ Cause Solution Foreign objects are attached to the magnet and rub against the transmitter or the junction box. Clean the transmitter, junction box, and magnet.18
