USER MANUAL 84 14 08 CONRAD

The product is intended to be used for measuring and display certain data on a bicycle (e.g. speed, mileage). A magnet is mounted on the front wheel. A radio sensor recognizes the revolutions of the wheel and sends a radio impulse to the cyclometer.

In addition, there is an integrated thermometer and stopwatch, furthermore the fat and energy consumption can also be displayed. With sufficient sunlight the integrated solar cell provides the power for the cyclometer.

The cyclometer and its accessories are only suitable for use on a standard bicycle. Installation and operation on another vehicle, e.g. a motorcycle is not permitted!

The product is intended for private use. It is not suitable for commercial use. Use of this device in any other way than described above is not permitted.

Starting Up, Inserting Batteries, Replacing Batteries

• The batteries have probably been already inserted by the manufacturer. To activate the cyclometer, simply press any key to show the display. Alternatively, remove the batteries and replace them again.

• When batteries are to be inserted or exchanged open the battery compartment, on the bottom of the product, by turning the battery compartment lid to the left and removing it.

• Insert one battery, of type CR2032, into the cyclometer and into the sender with the correct polarity (Observe Plus/+ and Minus/-, the positive pole (+) always points to the outside).

• Replace the lid of the battery compartment and lock it by turning it to the right.
  The battery needs to be replaced if the display contrast is poor, or nothing is displayed, or no data is received from the sender (to test, swap the batteries).
• Dispose of the batteries with respect for environmental protection (see section "Disposal").

Installation

1

1a

1b

1c

• First, mount the cyclometer mounting bracket (A) to the handlebar, as illustrated in figures 1a, 1b and 1c. Use the two cable binders (D) for fixing. The nose in the centre of the bracket (A) points to the saddle.
• Then, mount the radio sensor (B), also using two binders, on to the left or the right part of the front wheel fork, see figure 2.
• The magnet (C) is fixed to a spoke of the front wheel. Depending of the spoke's shape (round or elliptic) use the appropriate opening, figure 3.

The magnet must rotate directly over the label "SENSOR" on the radio sensor (observe the direction of the arrow). Move the magnet if necessary and refasten it at the right spot.

When it passes the radio sensor, the distance to the magnet should not exceed 2mm , otherwise the sensor in the radio sensor may not correctly detect the magnet. Make sure the magnet does not rub against the radio sensor.

Determining the wheel perimeter/wheel diameter

In order to obtain the exact value for the distance and speed, the wheel perimeter or the wheel diameter has to be determined. We recommend using the wheel perimeter, since it is more accurate.

Find an even, smooth surface (e.g. garage). Mark a given position on the wheel, do the same on the ground (point A). Now, move the bicycle forwards, until the wheel has made a completed revolution, and mark the spot on the ground (point B).

Measure the distance between the points A and B, to obtain the wheel perimeter, which is entered later into the cyclometer (value in millimetres).

If you want to use the wheel diameter, the wheel perimeter is calculated as follows:

Diameter in millimetre * 3.1416 = wheel perimeter

Diameter in inches * 2.54 * 3.1416 = wheel perimeter

Example: 26 inches * 2.54 * 3.1416 = wheel perimeter 2075 mm

Controls

Button“A”

• Press briefly: confirms a setting

Activates the illumination for a few seconds

• press for 3 seconds: Time mode: Setting the Time

Switching On/Off

If there is nothing displayed, turn the cyclometer on by briefly pressing any key. If this does not work check the cyclometer's battery and replace it if necessary.

If no button is pressed, or no movement detected via the radio sensor, the cyclometer turns off automatically after about 5 minutes in order to save energy.

The radio sensor cannot be turned off. However, it needs less energy so it does not need to be turned off.

Proceed as described in "basic setting" and enter the wheel perimeter, units for the distance, the age, weight and the service interval.

Integrated Solar Cell

The solar cell integrated in the cyclometer powers the cyclometer when there is sufficient sunlight. When there is not sufficient light the battery automatically takes over the power supply.

Troubleshooting

No indication on the cyclometer's display

• Press any key briefly to turn it on.
• Check the cyclometer battery and replace it by a new one if necessary.

Revolutions of the wheel are not detected, no data transmission from the radio sensor.

The distance between radio sensor and magnet must be about 2 mm.. Use a another spoke, if necessary.
- Check the position of the magnet and the radio sensor relative to each other. The magnet has to move exactly across the middle of the radio sensor.
- Check the battery in the radio sensor and replace it by a new one if necessary.

Black display

• The display has been exposed to direct sunlight for too long. When the display cools down, the indication returns.
