MODE functions for POWER (Watt)

When the 2nd line is set to power (Watt), TRP means the trip consumption, MAX the maximum power

and AVS the average power. The trip consumption is calculated on the basis of the elapsed time and

the power output. This is indicated in kilocalories or kilojoules.

MODE functions for HEART RATE

When the 2nd line is set to heart rate, MAX means the maximum heart rate and AVS the average

heart rate.

If the Flow computer does not receive a heart rate signal before the training begins, the heart rate function is not

shown. As soon as a heart rate signal is received during the training, this function will become available. When the

heart rate signal is interrupted during cycling, three dashes will appear in place of the heart rate value.

Average indicator

This function indicates whether the training information shown on the 1st line is average, above

average or below average.

in 10 Watt steps.

Setting training value

When you press SET, the slope at the lower left begins to flash. Use the Arrow keys to change the set-

ting and MODE to confirm. The slope is shown on the display in the form of vertical bars. At 0 a hori-

zontalbarisshown.

Once you press SET and the slope begins to flash, if you press SET again the power setting begins to

flash. You can adjust this setting with the Arrow keys. Press MODE to confirm the setting.

Operating range

whether the brake is still within the operating range. As the braking unit applies the brakes, the height

of the bar increases. The set power is not braked if the bar is at its minimum or maximum height; in

this situation the indicator flashes as a warning.
