Page 4: Overview
The purpose of the manual is to guide you through the first basic steps necessary to set up the system and give you an idea of how to begin. What comes as a part of the Tendo MyUnit? Wireless Sensor Unit... -
Page 5: Technical Description
1. Technical description The system consists of 2 functional components: Wireless Sensor Unit and Tendo MyUnit App (running on iOS Mobile Phones). *Mobile phone is not included in the package WIRELESS SENSOR UNIT TENDO MyUnit APP Standard Set 1 The Wireless Sensor Unit is connected to a weight by a kevlar cord with a velcro strap. -
Page 6: Wireless Sensor Unit
Battery case Power supply connector The Tendo MyUnit has a built-in battery charger. To charge the batteries, use the AC / DC power adapter (included). Power supply input adapter: 110 - 230V AC, 50-60 Hz Output: 12V DC, 1.2A Use only NiMH, AA size rechargeable batteries, 2000 - 2500 mAh! www.tendosport.com... -
Page 7: Battery Status Indication
2.2 Battery status indication If the batteries need to be charged, the sensor unit will lit light. Tendo MyUnit also displays the sensor unit's current battery charge in the upper left corner of the app's main window. 2.3 How to charge the batteries... -
Page 8: How To Attach Sensor Unit To Barbells Or Exercise Machines
Leg press machine Note: Suppose the sensor unit was turned on and paired with the Tendo MyUnit app before you attached the cord to the barbell. In that case, you can delete this repetition (caused by pulling the cord upwards) using the Delete rep command in the application. -
Page 9: Tendo Myunit Application
3. Make sure that the Wireless Sensor Unit and the Bluetooth on your mobile phone are turned 4. Launch TENDO MyUnit app and click “OFFLINE, tap to connect” 5. When the available Wireless Sensor Units are displayed, select the Sensor Unit to which you want to connect. - Page 10 If data has already been measured, the “Disconnect” command does not clear the data from the Tendo MyUnit app; it just disconnects the app from the Wireless Tendo Unit. If you do not delete the measured data, you will be able to continue the exercise series after reconnecting to the original Tendo unit.

Page 11: How Tendo Myunit App Works
3.2 How Tendo MyUnit app works After each repetition (upward pull of the cable), the application displays: Average Power, Peak Power, Partial Average Power, Average Velocity, Peak Velocity, Peak Force and Percent value of the best repetition in particular set in the main numerical panel... -
Page 12: Tendo Myunit Settings
If you change the Wireless Sensor Unit's settings while the Tendo MyUnit is offline (e.i, the Wireless Sensor Unit is not yet connected to the Tendo MyUnit app), the sensor unit changes its settings once the application is connected to the sensor unit. -
Page 13: Audio Signals - Optimal Training Range
4.2 Audio Signals - optimal training range Maximum training range - The upper limit of the audio signal = any value of the selected parameter (power, velocity, force) higher than the set percentage of the upper limit will be indicated by a beep of higher intensity. -
Page 14: Minimum Movement Threshold (Mmt)
The purpose of the MMT is to hide unwanted movements. All the movements with a range of motion less than the set value of the MMT will not be shown in the Tendo MyUnit App. For instance: taking a barbell from a rack, or short movement while holding a barbell, etc. -
Page 15: Maximum Rest Time Between Reps
- For exercises with very long range (Olympic lifting exercises) we suggest to set MMT to more than 80 cm. The Tendo MyUnit system measures from the lowest position to the top. The MMT does not have any influence on the measured range. The MMT just causes to not display measurement results for motions shorter than the MMT setting value. - Page 16 Peak Force measurement has the same range setting as Partial Avg. Power. It means the system finds peak force for setting range, from 0 to a certain predefined per cent value of the range of motion. The default setting is 50%. Use the slider to change settings.

Page 18: What Does Tendo Myunit Display
5 What does Tendo MyUnit display? Main Numerical Panel Set 1 Bar Graph Panel Auxiliary Results Window 5.1 Main Numerical Panel The main numerical panel displays the measured values according to a selected parameter (Average Power, Peak Power, Peak Force, Partial AVG Power, Average Velocity, Peak Velocity). - Page 19 Rest Time: If the Tendo MyUnit App is connected to a Wireless Sensor Unit and a repetition was performed, the time of subsequent sensor unit inactivity will be measured, representing the Rest Time between reps or sets.
-
Page 20: Bar Graph Panel
The number of the currently displayed repetition is displayed above the main numerical panel. E.g. 10/12 means the tenth repetition of a total of 12 reps. Set 1 5.2 Bar Graph Panel Set 1 The coloured columns show the percentage of the best repetition for the displayed parameter in the main numerical panel. -
Page 21: Auxiliary Results Window
5.3 Auxiliary Results Window Use the Auxiliary Results window to get additional information. If you have in the main numerical panel set, e.g. Average Power, and you are interested in Average Velocity too, select this parameter in the pop-up window. You do not have to switch between these parameters in the main numerical panel. -
Page 22: Displacement
Power and Force will not be correct! Note: If you do not enter the correct weight, export the activity to the Tendo Unit computer software. It is possible to change Set 1 the weight in the computer program. The program recalculates all values with the new weight. -
Page 23: Exercise
5.6 Exercise By tapping on the Exercise, a new page opens with a list of exercises divided into two categories: a) Standard exercises = the most common weightlifting exercises b) Olympic style Weight-lifts = exercises for Olympic Weightlifting c) Not Selected = (N/A) without the selection of an exercise By tapping on a particular category, the exercise list opens. - Page 24 If you are unable to achieve the number of repetitions in the training set according to the selected training goal, the application notifies you what to do to achieve your training goal. You can set the Tendo MyUnit app and the Wireless Sensor Unit even when they are not connected.
- Page 25 a) Not Selected All preset values can be changed by the user according to his own needs. For other training goals, it is not possible to change the audio signal (training range) settings. However, all other settings can be customised. b) Power For all exercises except Olympic-style Weight-lifts.
- Page 26 The Audio Signals will be preset to minimum training range 80% and maximum training range 100%. The Minimum Movement Threshold will be 35 cm. The Maximum work rest time between reps will be 15s. The range for Partial Average Power and Peak Force will be 50% The number of repetitions in the set is 8-12.
- Page 27 The Maximum work rest time between reps will be 15s. The range for Partial Average Power and Peak Force will be 50% 2. Accelerative Strength: 0.75 - 0.5 m/s The Audio Signals will be preset to minimum training range 90% and maximum training range 100%.

Page 28: Command "Delete
Delete selected rep - This command clears the current repetition displayed in the main numerical panel b) Delete All reps - Delete all reps 6 Saving an activity to MyUnit memory 6.1 New Activity The “New Activity” command resets all loaded data (if any) and allows you to start a new activity. -
Page 29: Finish
The “Finish” command saves the measured data (if any) and switches the application to an OFFLINE mode (e.i. MyUnit app is disconnected from the Wireless Sensor Unit). All data will be cleared from the screen. While in the OFFLINE mode, it will be possible to open saved files. - Page 30 If no selection was made, by clicking “Search”, the application displays all saved activities from the newest to the oldest. Suppose you set the filter according to your selected exercise and parameter. In that case, the application displays only your chosen exercise activities and the best value of the selected parameter as “Personal Best”.
- Page 31 If you have selected the exercise and parameter in the search filter, the application will create a trend graph for you by tapping “Trend Line” command. Here you can monitor your progress over time for the particular exercise and parameter. By selecting a particular activity from the list and clicking “Open Exercise”, the application opens the chosen activity in the main window with all data measured for every rep.
