DESCRIPTION
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.
e transmitter will then send a coded RF (radio frequency)
signal to the console containing the measured values.
e console has inboard receivers that pick up RPM signals
from the transmitter and heart rate signals from a telemetry
chest strap. e heart rate is then shown in the display win-
dow. e console will track cadence (RPMs), speed (MPH/
KPH), time, distance, and caloric expenditure.
NOTE:
• Excessive use of the back light [
]will drain the
console batteries prematurely.
• Expected life of the console batteries is 6 months to
1 year.
• If the console battery power is low, then “BATT
LOW” will be shown in the display window for 2
seconds aſter the display is turned on to inform
you to change the console batteries.
• Expected life of the transmitter batteries is 6
months to 1 year.

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.
To install the meter (console and the transmitter), you will
need
the following tools:
• Phillips Screwdriver
• 2.5-mm Hex Key (supplied)
• 3-mm Hex Key (supplied)
• 4-mm Hex Key (supplied)

INSTALLATION OF PILOT
4. Secure the transmitter to the bike with two M4 x 40
screws; tighten with a 3 mm hex key.
5. Reinstall the transmitter battery cover and screw;
tighten with a 2.5 mm hex key.
Checking the Installation:
1. Turn the console on by pressing START.
2. 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.
3. If you do not see RPMs in the display window, press
the [CADENCE] key repeatedly until “INST” RPM
is shown in the display window. If RPM still does
not show, refer to the troubleshooting section of this
manual.

CADENCE
Cadence is the measurement of how fast the crank is rotat-
ing in RPM’s. 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.
DISTANCE
Distance is the measurement of the approximate distance of
the bike if the user was riding a bike with tires the same size
of the flywheel.

KCAL
Kcal is the approximation of calories burned during your
workout. e calories are estimated by measuring your
instantaneous heart rate (HR) and factoring in your age,
ambient HR, and weight.
HEART RATE
is is the measurement , by telemetry (chest strap), of your
heart rate in beats per minute (BPM).
Note: You must wear a chest strap during your workout in order to
see your heart rate. The Pilot console will detect heart rate
signals from most chest straps that emit an analog signal,
or a digital Cardiosport® chest strap. An “A” (analog) or “D”
(digital) will be displayed for a few seconds in the heart rate
display section of the display window when a HR signal is
initially received, to indicate the type of signal being re-
ceived.
WARNING
!
If at any time during your workout you feel
chest pain, experience severe muscular discom-
fort, feel faint, or are short of breath, stop
exercising immediatlely. If the condition per-
sists, you should consult your medical doctor
immediatley
The Pilot also features heart zone training. After selecting
your maximum and minium heart rate limits, the console
will show flashing up or down arrows over the heart icon
to indicate that you need to adjust your intensity either up
or down to stay within your selected heart rate zone. See
pg. 15 for more info.

and start using the meter, simply press any key to turn on the
console. Aſter you press the [START] key, the timer will start
counting and the console will start tracking usage informa-
tion.
e Pilot will calculate calories burned based on the follow-
ing default perimeters for Quick Start Workout:

CADENCE TRAINING
Definition of Cadence
How rapidly the cranks are rotated or the rhythm of the ped-
al stroke; oſten 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 . e intensity of your
workout is affected by pedal speed change and the resistance
applied. is is quantified as RPE - Relative Perceived Ex-

Warm-Up
Warm up is of critical importance to the success of your cy-
cling. e demands of your riding profile should be prepared
in the warm-up to achieve maximal results. You must get
your working muscles to a temperature of optimum per-
formance where the circulatory system is delivering oxygen
and nutrients efficiently to those muscles. Depending on the
workout session goal, warm up can take from 15 minute to
20 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING
No Display on Console
1. Press any key to bring the console out of sleep mode.
2. Ensure that the batteries are installed properly in the
console and transmitter. If they are, install fresh batter-
ies.
3. Verify that the console dip switch code matches the

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.)
Cadence number jumps high or low
1. 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).
2. Relocate the bike to a different part of the room, away
from any RF interfernce areas.
CAUTION
!
External interference may be caused by
nearby televisions, stereo equipment, speakers,
electrical wire cabling, etc. If you experience
disturbances in the console display try moving
your bike(s) away from potential RF interference
areas.
3. Call our Customer Service department at 425-482-6773
for assistance.
Heart Rate signal gets interrupted or drops out
1. Ensure that there is a minimum distance of 36 inches
between bikes.
2. Verify that your chest strap is secure and that the elec-
trodes are making contact with your chest at all times.
3. Call our Customer Service department at 425-482-6773

Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) is de-
vice may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
ere is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment experiences
interference from a radio, television, or other RF signal, the
user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by

APPENDIX
Changing the Console and Transmitter Codes
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 different number codes (00-15) to help
reduce cross talking between bikes in a class environment.
Cross talking is when one bike picks up the RF signal from
another bike, and interferes with the displayed numbers on
the console.
• As long as the transmitter and console “dip” switches are
set to the same number code, the two will communicate.
• To change the number codes, simply flip the dip switches
on each component to the same number code.
