IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING BEFORE BEGINNING THIS OR ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN. Certain exercises, programs, or types of equipment may not be appropriate for all individuals, especially if you are above 40 years of age, and/or have pre-existing health, and/or orthopedic medical conditions.
DESCRIPTION Th e Pilot assembly consists of a console, a magnet, and a transmitter. A sensor in the transmitter counts the number of times a magnet mounted in the right crank passes the sen- sor. Th e transmitter will then send a coded RF (radio frequency) signal to the console containing the measured values.

INSTALLATION OF PILOT NOTE: Th e Cadence Meter can only be installed on a LeMond RevMaster bike. Th e console and the transmitter use AA batteries as a source of power. Install the supplied batteries in the console and in the transmitter prior to using.
INSTALLATION OF PILOT Transmitter Battery Installation: Remove the battery cover screw and cover from the transmitter with a 2.5-mm hex key. Install three (3) AA batteries in the battery compart- ment. Retain the battery cover and its screw until you have installed the transmitter on the bike.
INSTALLATION OF PILOT Console Battery Installation: Loosen the battery cover screw and remove the battery cover from the console. Insert 2 AA batteries into the battery compartment and reinstall the battery cover. Batteries, AA x 2 Handlebar Console Installation: Ensure that the console turns on. Spread the bottom of the console clamp apart and clamp it back together over the top center of the handle bar.
INSTALLATION OF PILOT Transmitter Installation: Ensure that the batteries are installed in the transmitter. From the left side of the bike, use a 3 mm hex key to re- move two counter sunk hex head screws located on the inside of the drive cover. (See illustration below.) Position the transmitter next to the cover.
INSTALLATION OF PILOT Secure the transmitter to the bike with two M4 x 40 screws; tighten with a 3 mm hex key. Reinstall the transmitter battery cover and screw; tighten with a 2.5 mm hex key. Checking the Installation: Turn the console on by pressing START. Rotate the cranks for 10 seconds and verify that the console is picking up the crank rotation and displaying RPM’s in the cadence section of the display window.

DISPALY WINDOW CADENCE INST CADENCE DISTANCE INST DISTANCE CADENCE Cadence is the measurement of how fast the crank is rotat- ing in RPM’s. Th e approximate speed of the bike can also be displayed (MPH/KPH) in this area. TIME Time is the length of time (min:sec) since you pressed the start button.
Page 13
KCAL Kcal is the approximation of calories burned during your workout. Th e calories are estimated by measuring your instantaneous heart rate (HR) and factoring in your age, ambient HR, and weight. HEART RATE Th is is the measurement , by telemetry (chest strap), of your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM).
QUICK START PROGRAM Any time you want to bypass entering your personal data and start using the meter, simply press any key to turn on the console. Aft er you press the [START] key, the timer will start counting and the console will start tracking usage informa- tion.

KEY FUNCTIONS [START] Th e start key will start the timer and enable the cadence me- ter to begin calculating HR and Kcal values. [CLEAR] • A short press (< 3 sec) of the clear key will reset the time, distance and calorie measurements.

[HR] • A short press of the heart rate key allows you to change the display of the HR section of the display window between INST (instantaneous) HR, AVG (average) HR and MAX (maximum) HR.

Pressing the light key will back-light the display window for 5 seconds. If another key is pressed while the light is on, the back light will stay on for an additional 5 seconds. As long as keys are pressed with the back light on, the console light will stay on.
CADENCE TRAINING Defi nition of Cadence How rapidly the cranks are rotated or the rhythm of the ped- al stroke; oft en referred to as RPM (revolutions per minute). Concepts using Cadence for training You can choose the goal of your workout in relation to Resistance, Cadence, and Heart Rate .

Th e demands of your riding profi le should be prepared in the warm-up to achieve maximal results.
TROUBLESHOOTING No Display on Console Press any key to bring the console out of sleep mode. Ensure that the batteries are installed properly in the console and transmitter. If they are, install fresh batter- ies. Verify that the console dip switch code matches the transmitter dip switch code (see Appendix).

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.) Cadence number jumps high or low Separate bikes that may be set to the same console code and are cross-talking, or change the console and trans- mitter codes on the bike (see Appendix). Relocate the bike to a diff erent part of the room, away from any RF interfernce areas.
APPENDIX Notice of FCC Compliance Th is equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class C Low Power Communication Device Transmitter, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) Th is de- vice may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
APPENDIX Changing the Console and Transmitter Codes Th e console and the transmitter have dip switches that allow you to change the transmission code back and for the be- tween a total of 16 diff erent number codes (00-15) to help reduce cross talking between bikes in a class environment.
APPENDIX Dip Switch Codes Match the code on the console to the code on the transmitter by fl ipping the dip switches on each unit to the correspond- ing up/down sequences for the desired code as listed below. Dip Switch Number 00 off off off off off off off 02 off...
APPENDIX CONSOLE CODES [CADENCE] + [HR] Pressing both these keys switches from English units - Miles (Mi), Miles per hour (MPH), and pounds (Lbs); to Metric units - Kilometers (Km), kilometers per hour (KPH), and kilograms (Kg). [CADENCE] + [∧] Pressing both these keys displays the console code.
