What’s in the Box?
Your PrecisionTM power meter comes with the following
items:
• 1 PrecisionTM power meter pod with installed battery
• 1 PrecisionTM installation tool
• 1 PrecisionTM installation band
• 1 Epoxy adhesive pack
• 1 Epoxy adhesive applicator
• 1 Square of sand paper (1.5” x 1.5”)
• 2 Cleaning wipes
• 1 Cable tie
• 1 Extra CR2032 coin cell battery
Installation Tools
In addition to the contents included with your power meter,
you will also need the following:
• Crank removal tool
• Pencil or permanent marker
• Clean piece of printer paper
Warnings
1. Do not remove the protective tape on the metal plate
of the pod until you are ready to apply the epoxy
adhesive – removing the tape prematurely will result
in contamination of the pod and may interfere with
the accuracy and reliability of the power meter
2. Once the protective tape on the metal plate of the
pod has been removed, do not touch the metal plate
or place the metal plate on any surfaces – will result in
contamination of the pod and may interfere with the
accuracy and reliability of the power meter
3. Once the protective tape of the pod has been
removed, do not place the protective tape or any other
material back on the metal plate – only the provided
epoxy adhesive should be placed on the metal plate
4. Do not put any other tape on the metal plate on the
pod or the crank arm, doing so will contaminate the
surfaces and impact the accuracy of the power meter
1. Compatibility Check
1.1 Crank arm compatibility
Ensure that the crank arm has a at surface for installing the
PrecisionTM power meter pod.
4 5
5. Do not open the adhesive pack until you are ready to
apply the adhesive for installation – do not use the ad-
hesive if it has been opened for more than 5 minutes
6. Only use supplied cleaning wipes for your installation
– do not sand or use any other cleaning agents on the
pod
7. Only apply epoxy adhesive directly to the metal base of
the pod – do not put adhesive on your crank arm
8. Do not attempt to clean o the excess epoxy with any
solvents – doing so may damage your power meter
9. Only perform the pod installation in temperatures
above 20°C or 68°F – doing so will not allow the adhe-
sive to cure properly and will impact the accuracy of the
power meter
10. Do not expose the pod to temperatures above 50°C or
122°F
11. Do not install the pod on uneven or curved surfaces on
the crank arm
12. Do not install this power meter pod on carbon ber
crank arms
1.2 Clearance Check
Make sure there is enough room between the crank arm
and the bicycle frame to install the PrecisionTM power meter
pod. A minimum of 2 mm or 3/32 inch of space is present
between the PrecisionTM pod and the bike frame
Do not remove the protective tape on the
metal plate at the bottom of the pod – doing
so may interfere with the accuracy and
reliability of the power meter.
To avoid contamination of the metal plate,
clean your crank arm with soap and water
prior to performing the clearance check. Once
the crank arm has been thoroughly cleaned,
dry the area with a lint-free cloth or shop rag.

1.2.1 Pod Placement
Locate a at area on the inner face of the crank arm for
installing the PrecisionTM power meter pod. There should
be a minimum of 40 mm or 1 5/8 inches between the pod
location and the pedal spindle.
1.2.3 Clearance Check
With the PrecisionTM pod xed onto the crank arm as shown
in section 1.2.2, slowly and carefully rotate the crank arm 1
full revolution to ensure there is no interference between the
pod and any part of the bicycle frame.
Do not place the pod over uneven surfaces,
decals, stickers, rivets, or screw holes on the
crank arm. Doing so will interfere with the
accuracy of the power meter.
1.2.2 Using Installation Tool and Installation Band
Place and hold the metal plate of the PrecisionTM pod on
the crank arm as shown in section 1.2.1 and secure the pod
on the crank arm using the provided installation tool and
installation band.
Pull the installation band around the crank arm and attach
them to the hooks on the pod.
Slide the installation tool under the band and x the pod in
place with the installation tool.
If the pod interferes with the frame or any
other components on the bicycle, do not
proceed further with the installation. Contact
your retailer for assistance. If your pod was
purchased directly from 4iiii Innovations,
contact 4iiii online at www.4iiii.com/support/
software-and-documentation.

2.2.2 Clean Crank Arm
Thoroughly clean the crank arm with soap and water to
remove all dust and residue from sanding. Allow the crank
arm to fully dry before adhering the pod.
2.3 Adhering the Pod
Before adhering the pod, ensure the following items are
readily accessible:
• PrecisionTM pod
• PrecisionTM install band
• PrecisionTM install tool
• Cleaning wipes (2x)
• Epoxy adhesive packs
• Adhesive applicator
• Clean printer paper
1.2.4 Marking Install Location
With the PrecisionTM pod xed onto the crank arm as shown
in section 1.2.2, place a small mark on your crank using a
pencil or permanent marker adjacent to the center mark
on the pod. This is use to mark the location of the pod for
installation using the provided epoxy adhesive.
Sand lengthwise
Do not open or mix the adhesive pack until
you are ready to apply the adhesive for in-
stallation – do not use the adhesive if it has
been opened for more than 5 minutes.
!
2. Pod Installation
2.1 Install Location
Prior to installing the PrecisionTM power meter on your crank
arm, ensure the pod has the necessary clearance for the
bicycle as shown in igure 1.2, in section 1. Once a suitable lo-
cation for the pod has been found, mark the install location
as shown in section 1.2.4.
2.2 Preparing Crank Surface
Before the PrecisionTM pod can be adhered to the crank
arm, the crank arm surface must be sanded and thoroughly
cleaned.
Do not attempt to dry the crank arm with
paper towel or a cloth that may leave lint
or other particles on your crank. To reduce
drying time, you may use a lint free shop
towel to dry the crank surface.
!
Do not open or mix the adhesive pack until you
are ready to apply the adhesive for installation
– do not use the adhesive if it has been opened
and/or mixed for more than 5 minutes.
2.3.1 Prepare Adhesive
Tear open the two epoxy adhesive packets squeeze the ad-
hesive onto a clean piece of printer paper. Mix the adhesive
thoroughly with the adhesive applicator.
Only perform the pod installation in tempera-
tures above 20°C or 68°F – doing so will not
allow the adhesive to cure properly and will
impact the performance and reliability of the
power meter.

2.3.2 Wipe Crank Arm
Open one of the cleaning wipes and wipe the installation
location of the crank arm.
Slide the installation tool under the band and x the pod in
place with the installation tool.
2.3.3 Remove Protective Tape
Remove the protective tape on the metal plate of the pod.
Only use supplied cleaning wipes for your instal-
lation – do not sand or use any other cleaning
agents on the pod.
!
2.3.4 Apply Adhesive
Using the adhesive applicator, spread the mixed epoxy adhe-
sive onto the metal plate of the pod. Ensure the entire metal
plate has a uniform layer of adhesive material.
Only apply epoxy adhesive directly to the metal
base of the pod – do not put adhesive on your
crank arm.
2.3.5 Fix Pod on Crank Arm
Place and hold the PrecisionTM pod on the install location as
marked on the crank arm in section 1.2.1 and secure the pod
on the crank arm using the provided installation tool and
installation band.
Pull the installation band around the crank arm and attach
them to the hooks on the pod.
!
Do not attempt to clean o the excess epoxy
with any solvents – doing so may damage
your power meter.
2.3.6 Curing Adhesive
Set the crank arm aside with the pod facing down for 8
hours in a warm location at room temperature and allow the
adhesive to cure.
!
Do not allow the pod to cure in tempera-
tures below 20°C or 68°F – doing so will not
allow the adhesive to cure properly and will
impact the accuracy of the power meter.
Do not expose the pod to temperatures
above 50°C or 122°F.
