Cycling Dynamics; Maintenance Tips; Sending Your Ride To Garmin Connect - Garmin VECTOR 3 A03220 Owner's Manual

1
Rotate the pedals a few times in order to activate Vector 3.
2 From the home screen, select
Details > Crank Length.
3
Enter the crank length, and select
Setting the Installation Angle
Before you set the installation angles, you must set the Edge
data fields to display power and cadence.
1 Go for a short ride on a trainer or on the road.
2
Ride until the cadence is nearly 70 rpm.
3 Accelerate smoothly to approximately 90 rpm.
When the installation angles are successfully set, a message
appears and data fields display power data on the Edge
device (1000, 810, and 510 only).
Customizing the Data Fields
This procedure contains instructions for the Edge 1000, 810,
800, and 510 devices. If you have another compatible device,
see Other Compatible Devices, page

Training
Pedal-Based Power
Vector 3 measures pedal-based power.
Vector 3 measures the force you apply a few hundred times
every second. Vector 3 also measures your cadence or
rotational pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction
of force, the rotation of the crank arm, and time, Vector 3 can
determine power (watts). Because Vector 3 independently
measures left and right leg power, it reports your left-right power
balance.
NOTE: The Vector 3 S system does not provide left-right power
balance.

Cycling Dynamics

Cycling dynamics metrics measure how you apply power
throughout the pedal stroke, and where you apply power on the
pedal, allowing you to understand your particular way of riding.
Understanding how and where you produce power allows you
to train more efficiently and evaluate your bike fit.
Using Cycling Dynamics
Before you can use cycling dynamics, you must pair the Vector
3 power meter with your device
1000, page 2).
NOTE: Recording cycling dynamics uses additional device
memory.

Power Phase Data
Power phase is the pedal stroke region (between the start crank
angle and the end crank angle) where you produce positive
power.
Platform Center Offset
Platform center offset is the location on the pedal platform where
you apply force.

Maintenance Tips

NOTICE
Some bike tools may scratch the finish of Vector 3 components.
• Use wax paper or a towel between the tool and the hardware.
• After any bike adjustments, rotate the crank arm to check for
clearance.
• Keep Vector 3 components clean.
• When moving Vector 3 to another bike, clean the threads
and surfaces thoroughly.
• Go to www.garmin.com/Vector3owner
updates and information.

Data
Your ride data or history is recorded to your Edge device or
another compatible Garmin device. This section contains
instructions for the Edge 1000.
NOTE: History is not recorded while the timer is stopped or
paused.
When the device memory is full, a message appears. The
device does not automatically delete or overwrite your history.
You should upload your history to your Garmin Connect account
periodically to keep track of all your ride data.
