The PowerControl 7 will not enter Sleep Mode while it is receiving data from and of the sensors. The PC 7 shows the date of the Firmware Release being used. (17.04.2008) Press to wake up the PC 7. The main menu shows real-time data as the athlete trains. Press to change between the different information modes on your display. Real-time training data Menu: • Top Line: Training time, distance [miles or km], altitude [feet or m] or all three alternating. (Settings for information which is shown can be changed in the SRM Windows Software). • Middle Line: Power [Watt] (> 1000W, 1.0 = 1000W), Heart rate [bpm] • Bottom Line: Training zone, Speed [km/h or miles/h], Cadence [rpm] If no signal from a sensor is picked up, the display shows “-“ for this data instead of a number (for example “-“ speed if the speed sensor is not working). Average training data Menu: • Top Line: Training time, distance, ascending altitude or all three alternating. • Middle Line: Power, Heartrate • Bottom Line: Speed, Cadence Maximum training data Menu: • Top Line: Mechanical energy uptake in kilojoules (kJ) (Estimating an efficiency of 25% riding the bike, this is approximately the same as the total energy burned by the athlete in kcal) • Middle Line: Power, Heart rate • Bottom Line: Speed, Cadence Time/Date Menu • Top Line: Time of day • Middle Line: Day, Month • Bottom Line: Year, temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit Main Menu: PowerControl 7 Sleep Mode
PowerControl 7: Getting Started 14 October 2008 2 Schoberer Rad Messtechnik GmbH Rudolf Schulten Str. 6 D-52428 Jülich Tel.: +49 (2461) 69123-0 Fax:+49 (2461) 69123-17 SRM Service Center Inc. 720 West Monument Street Colorado Springs, CO 80904 USA Tel.: +1 (719) 266 4127 Fax: +1 (710) 266 4284 www.srm.de You need to pair the PowerControl 7 with the power, speed and heartrate sensors. If you don’t do this, no data will be received by the PowerControl 7 for any of the sensors that you want to use on your bike. Pairing the sensors with the PowerControl 7 will only be possible if they are switched on. • Switch on the PowerMeter by pedaling the crank backwards a few times (it will switch on when sensor in the PowerMeter passes the magnet attached to the bottom bracket). • Switch on the Speed sensor by spinning the wheel. • Switch on Heart Rate sensor by putting the belt on your chest. To have a better contact please moisten the electrodes. • Switch on the PowerControl by pressing the button. Hold for about 3 seconds to enter Sensor Pairing mode. Press once quickly to select the device you want to pair and press once quickly to tell the PC 7 to start searching. The Antenna symbol blinking on the right of the display shows that the searching process has started. The search bar in the middle of the display shows the progress of the search. If no signal is picked up, please check: • If the sensor is switched on • The position of the magnet • If the battery is charged • If it is still not working, please get in touch with the Service Center If a Sensor is found, the PC 7 will show “Found” in the Top line, alternating with the Sensor’s Serial number. If the pairing fails, please repeat step 1 and 2. To pair another Sensor, press once quickly to get back to the device selection Menu. Continue with pairing the Heartrate sensor and Speed sensor. Hold for about 3 seconds to leave the device pairing menu and go back to the main menu. Sensor Pairing

This will make the pairing unnecessary. It is very important to set the Zero offset before each ride, so the PowerControl knows the frequency output of the PowerMeter with no load on the chain. Without a pre-ride zeroing, the measured power may be wrong. Please pair the PowerMeter before, so that the signal is picked up! Press and at the same time to enter the Zero Offset Menu. The first screen shows the Zero Offset Menu for the PowerMeter. There are 2 numbers on the display: The top number is the real-time frequency output of the PowerMeter The bottom number is the stored Zero Offset If the top number is zero, turn the PowerMeter on by pedaling backwards. Then, let go of the crank and make sure nothing is touching it. If the top number is still Zero, please check: • That the sensor is paired (see page 2) • The position of the magnet • If the battery is charged • If it is still not working, please get in touch with the Service Center After the top number stabilizes, press to store the new Zero Offset of the PowerMeter. Press to exit You can adjust the Altitude by pressing or . will bring you back to main menu. The altitude measurement depends on the current weather conditions (barometric pressure) and temperature, so it has to be calibrated before every ride. HINT: Try checking Google Earth for the altitude to use for the calibration. Setting the Zero Offset

The Set Marker option is available to show data during intervals, to set file markers during a training session, and for lap times. After downloading the data to your PC with SRM Windows Software, you can see and edit the sections where you have set markers, and review the data in detail. Press to start the interval. Time on the display will start with zero. A blinking stopwatch icon appears. The number of the interval is shown on the left below the stopwatch icon. The maximum amount of markers shown on the display is 20, but more markers can be stored and shown after downloading. Press to stop the interval. For 10 seconds, the display will show the average data from last interval. Press to see the maximum data of the interval. After 10 seconds, the display will switch back to main menu.

The battery has no memory effect, and it can (and should) be recharged regularly. Press and at the same time to enter the Battery Status Menu. The first screen shows the charge status of the battery. The top line shows the voltage. The second line shows a graph of the charge status ( = max charge) Press to see the total amount of training. • Total distance (km or miles) • Total training hours • Total mechanical energy uptake (MJoule or Kcal) will bring you back to main menu. Hold for about 3 seconds to enter the Setup mode. The first screen shows the setup menu to change the time and date. Blinking numbers show what can be changed (first seconds, then minutes, hours, …) Press to increase or to decrease the shown number. Press to select the next step. The second screen shows the setup menu for the slope. “Aut” (short for Automatic) sets the slope to the preset value the PowerMeter sends to the PowerControl 7. The value is shown above “Aut” (without the point). It is also possible to change the slope manually (for example after recalibration). From “Aut” press to change the slope from 50.0 Hz/Nm downward or from 0.0 Hz/Nm upward. Press to select the next step. The third screen shows the setup menu for the wheel circumference. Press to increase or to decrease the value shown. Press to select the next step. Mode – Pro Menu Setup Menu

For example, a storage interval of 1 second the memory will hold about 1054 hours, while a storage interval of 2 seconds will hold about 2108 hours. The fifth screen offers the possibility to choose the settings for training zones defined with heart rate (bpm) or power (watts). These can also be set through the SRM Windows Software. Threshold values from exercise tests (lab or field tests) can be used to define these values and increase quality of your individual training. The sixth to tenth screen shows the setup for training zone 1 to 5. Press to increase or to decrease the value shown. Press to select the next step. Hold for about 3 seconds to leave the setup menu and go back to the main menu.
