3. Installasiehandleiding

Follow these steps to correctly install your Schwinn Wireless Bike Computer.

3.1. Battery Installasie

The computer unit and wireless sensor require batteries for operation. Typically, these are coin-cell batteries (e.g., CR2032). Open the battery compartment on the back of the computer unit and the sensor, insert the batteries with the correct polarity, and securely close the compartments.

3.2. Mounting the Computer Unit

  1. Attach the handlebar mounting bracket to your bicycle's handlebar using the provided zip ties. Ensure it is securely fastened and positioned for easy viewing.
  2. Slide the computer unit onto the mounting bracket until it clicks into place.

3.3. Mounting the Wireless Speed Sensor

  1. Attach the wireless speed sensor to the front fork of your bicycle using the provided zip ties. Position it on the side of the fork that aligns with the wheel spokes.
  2. Ensure the sensor is oriented correctly, with the arrow or designated marking pointing towards the wheel magnet's path.

3.4. Attaching the Wheel Magnet

  1. Securely attach the wheel magnet to a spoke on the front wheel.
  2. Adjust the magnet's position so that it passes the wireless sensor with a gap of no more than 5mm (0.2 inches). The closer the magnet is to the sensor without touching, the more reliable the signal.

4.1. Basiese funksies

  • Huidige spoed: Displays your real-time cycling speed.
  • Gemiddelde spoed: Calculates the average speed of your current ride.
  • Maksimum spoed: Records the highest speed achieved during your ride.
  • Reisafstand: Meet die afstand afgelê in jou huidige rit.
  • Kilometerteller: Tracks the total accumulated distance across all rides.
  • Rytyd: Records the duration of your current ride.
  • Horlosie: Displays the current time (12/24 hour format).

4.2. Gevorderde funksies

  • Skandeermodus: Automatically cycles through various data displays.
  • Speed Comparator: Indicates if your current speed is above or below your average speed.
  • Kalorieë verbrand: Estimates calorie consumption (requires user input for weight, if available).
  • Fat Burned: Estimates fat burned (requires user input for weight, if available).
  • Temperatuur: Displays ambient temperature.
  • Agterlig: Illuminates the display for night riding.

4.3. Knoppiegebruik

The computer typically features two or three buttons for navigation and setting adjustments. Refer to the specific button labels on your device for precise functions:

  • MODUS-knoppie: Cycles through different display modes (e.g., speed, distance, time).
  • SET/RESET Button: Used to enter settings mode, confirm selections, or reset trip data.
  • UP/DOWN Buttons (if present): Adjust values during settings or navigate menus.

Press and hold the SET/RESET button to enter settings mode or to reset trip data. A short press typically confirms a selection or advances to the next display.

5. Settings and Calibration

Accurate readings depend on proper calibration, especially setting the wheel circumference.

5.1. Setting Wheel Circumference

The wheel circumference tells the computer how far the wheel travels in one rotation. This is crucial for accurate speed and distance measurements.

  1. Consult your bicycle tire's sidewall for its size (e.g., 700x23c, 26x1.95).
  2. Refer to a wheel circumference chart (often found online or in a more detailed manual) to find the corresponding circumference in millimeters (mm).
  3. Enter the settings mode on your computer (usually by pressing and holding the SET button).
  4. Navigate to the wheel circumference setting and input the correct value using the appropriate buttons.
  5. Confirm the setting and exit the settings mode.

Wenk: For maximum accuracy, measure your wheel's actual circumference by marking a spot on the tire and the ground, rolling the bike one full revolution, and measuring the distance on the ground.

5.2. Unit Selection (Miles/Kilometers)

In the settings mode, you can also select your preferred unit of measurement for distance and speed (kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph)).

6. Onderhoud

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your bike computer.

  • Skoonmaak: Vee die rekenaareenheid en sensor af met 'n sagte, damp lap. Vermy skuurmiddels of oplosmiddels.
  • Battery vervanging: Replace batteries in both the computer unit and sensor when the display becomes dim or readings become inconsistent. Ensure correct battery type (e.g., CR2032) and polarity.
  • Sensor/Magnet Alignment: Periodically check that the sensor and magnet remain properly aligned (within 5mm gap) and securely fastened.
  • Waterweerstand: The device has an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected from dust and splashing water. Avoid submerging the unit in water or exposing it to heavy rain for extended periods.
