Pairing the power meter
The power meter must be connected or “paired” to the Stages SIC1 display
console or cycle computer (collectively referred to as display units) according
to the manufacturer’s instructions. Each power meter has a unique ANT+
device ID. During the pairing process the applicable device ID is recorded by
the display and will be used to communicate with the corresponding
power meter. The ANT+ ID number is printed in the locations shown in FIG 1
and also supplied with the documentation. Once paired to the power meter,
ride data (Watts and RPM) will be transmitted from the power meter to the
display unit. Other important functions such as resetting the power meter’s
zero oset will also be enabled through the display unit. The ANT+ is
permanently assigned to the power meter and is not aected by
changing the power meter battery.
When Pairing to a Stages SIC1 Console: Ensure the power meter has fully
charged AA batteries properly installed. Rotate the crank arm one time to
ensure the power meter is awake. Follow the instructions in the Stages
console user guide for pairing the power meter to the console.
When Pairing to Another Type of Compatible ANT+ Display: Ensure the
power meter has fully charged AA batteries properly installed. Rotate the
crank arm one time to ensure the power meter is awake and ready to
communicate. Follow the ANT+ device manufacturer’s instructions for
pairing a power meter to the display unit. The procedures may vary between
manufacturers.
Zero Oset Calibration
The zero oset calibration is an important feature of the power meter that
resets the zero oset value for the power meter sensors. There are physical and
environmental conditions that may aect the zero oset value and there are
methods both manual and automatic that will adjust this value to
accommodate for the changing physical and environmental condition. The
zero oset of the power meter is essentially the sensor reading or values
measured when the power meter has no pedaling load (torque) applied. The
act of calibrating the zero oset causes the power meter to measure the value
at zero load and then records this value as the baseline for power
measurement.
7
How to calibrate
Calibrating the zero oset is a function controlled by the Stages SIC1 display
console, or cycle computer (display units) paired to the power meter. Please
note that some device manufacturers refer to the step of resetting the zero
oset as “calibration”. When paired to a Stages SIC1 display console or other
compatible ANT+ cycle computer, the power meter and display units are
in two-way communication. The display unit will send a command to the
power meter to calibrate the zero oset value and in some cases the resulting
zero oset value will be sent back from the power meter to the display unit and
be shown on the screen. Please note the displayed zero oset value will NOT
be zero but rather a number that corresponds to the measurement taken
by the sensor. The display units will also indicate if the procedure was success-
ful or failed.
Before attempting to calibrate the zero oset value of the power meter, ensure
that a working battery is in use and the pedal is attached. Rotate the power
meter one revolution to ensure the power meter is awake and ready to
communicate.
The left crank arm with power meter MUST be positioned straight down (6
o’clock position) and ensure there is no load on the pedals and the bike is
stable. See FIG 2 for a visual reference. If the left crank arm is not straight
down the reset procedure for zero oset will fail.
To calibrate the zero oset of the power meter, follow the instructions
supplied with Stages SIC1 display console or ANT+ display console being used
with the power meter.
Loads applied while pedaling will then be measured as torque and used by the
sensor to determine power in Watts. The zero oset value can be aected by
the installation of the crank arm and the tightening of the securing hardware.
The torque applied to the securing hardware can impart some strain into the
crank material that is easily accounted for by manually calibrating the zero
oset. Any time the power meter is removed from the bike and reinstalled, the
zero oset should be calibrated.

Troubleshooting
If no power (watts) or cadence (RPM) signal is being received by your
compatible display unit when riding the bike, please
items:
Conrm that working AA batteries are properly installed in the power
meter according to assembly steps 1-4 on page 3.
2. Ride the bike with a pedaling cadence of greater than 20 RPM. Your
power meter will not send cadence or wattage to the display
unless a true pedaling force is applied. If you pedal the bike by hand
the display will not show cadence or watts — this is not a problem
— as soon as you ride the bike you will see your cadence and power
values displayed.
3. Ensure that the power meter has been successfully paired to the display

Maintenance and cleaning
The only items of the power meter that can be serviced by the owner are the
batteries, battery door, and battery door gasket. No other items are
serviceable and no attempt should be made to adjust or alter any other items.
When cleaning the power meter use only water dampened cloth to wipe o
dirt and debris. Never use any harsh cleaning chemicals that may damage
the plastic housing. Inspect the battery compartment to ensure the batter
contact is clean of any corrosion.

Firmware
Firmware is the programming that operates the power meter’s computer.
The power meter has been designed to allow over-the-air (OTA) firmware
updates. Updated firmware may be developed and released by Stages
Cycling to provide added or improved functionality. Firmware updates
may be sent to the power meter by way of the Stages Cycling Utility Apps
for Apple® iOS devices such as iPhone and iPads, as well as Android devices
(running Android software 4.4 or newer). Compatible mobile devices must
support Bluetooth Smart (BTLE 4.0). Please visit
www.stagesindoorcycling.com/support
for links to the available utility Apps hosted in the App stores as well as
instructions on how to utilize the App for firmware update and other
procedures.
