TROUBLESHOOTING
Why am I getting erratic RPM and power numbers?
• In most cases, erratic RPM numbers are caused the RPM sensor not being properly positioned relative to the
magnet on the flywheel.
• Erratic RPM readings will cause erratic power readings because power is calculated from RPMs.
• The first step in diagnosing erratic RPM readings is to check the RPM sensor position.
• Refer to the Echelon2 Installation Guide for details on how to properly position the RPM sensor
• Also check cables and connectors to ensure there is no damage.
• If none of these measures correct the issue, contact Schwinn customer support.
Why am I getting abnormally low or power readings even at high resistance?
• In rare cases, the Echelon2 power sensor may lose its zero set point calibration
• Follow the instructions to check the current angle and do a zero point calibration of the sensor if needed.
• In some cases the nut that the sensor magnet attaches to will come loose cause the magnet to move.
• If the nut is loose, it will cause erratic power readings and not allow the sensor to calibrate.
• In other cases the sensor magnet may not have been properly installed. See the pictures below for details.
• Newer models of bikes manufactured starting in the fall of 2016 have the sensor magnet pre-installed at the fac-
tory and do not require the rubber boot with the sensor magnet that comes with the sensor kit. See the picture
below for details.
• In the event that a sensor cannot be calibrated and the console is giving erratic power readings, make sure the
bolt is tight, the boot is fully and properly installed, and if the new magnet assembly is installed that the rubber
boot is not installed.
Why are certain bikes giving higher or lower power than other bikes?
• Bikes that give higher or lower power readings (i.e. feel easier or harder) than other bikes may not have been
properly calibrated.
