ANT+ Sensors ANT+ Sensors The Edge is compatible with the following ANT+ accessories: • Heart rate monitor (page 12) • GSC 10 speed and cadence sensor (page 14) • Third-party ANT+ sensors (page 15) For information about purchasing additional accessories, go to http://buy.garmin.com. Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor or install the sensor. See the Edge 800 Quick Start Manual or the accessory package for instructions.
ANT+ Sensors Putting on the Heart Rate Monitor See the Edge 800 Quick Start Manual or the accessory package for instructions. Pairing the Heart Rate Monitor If you purchased a heart rate monitor separately, you must pair it with the Edge in order to view your heart rate data. Before you can pair, you must put on the heart rate monitor. 1. Turn on the Edge. 2. Bring the Edge within range (3 m) of the heart rate monitor. 3. Select MENU > > Bike Settings > Heart Rate > ANT+ Heart Rate. 4.
ANT+ Sensors 1. Select MENU > > Bike Settings > Heart Rate > Heart Rate Zones. 2. Enter your maximum heart rate and resting heart rate. The zone values update automatically; however, you can still edit each value manually. 3. Select Based On > and select an option: • Select BPM to view and edit the zones in beats per minute. • Select % Max. to view and edit the zones as a percentage of your maximum heart rate. • Select % HRR to view and edit the zones as a percentage of your resting heart rate.
ANT+ Sensors cardiovascular capacity and strength. • Knowing your heart rate zones can prevent you from overtraining and can decrease your risk of injury. If you know your maximum heart rate, you can enter it and allow the Edge to calculate your heart rate zones based on the percentages shown in the table (page 18). If you do not know your maximum heart rate, use one of the calculators available on the Internet. Some gyms and health centers can provide a test that measures maximum heart rate.
ANT+ Sensors About the GSC 10 Cadence data from the GSC 10 is always recorded. If there is no GSC 10 paired, GPS data is used to calculate the speed and distance. Cadence is your rate of pedaling or “spinning” measured by the number of revolutions of the crank arm per minute (rpm). There are two sensors on the GSC 10: one for cadence and one for speed. For information about cadence alerts, see page 5.
ANT+ Sensors 1. Select MENU > > Bike Settings > Bike Profiles. 2. Select a bike. 3. Select ANT+ Power > Calibrate. 4. Keep your power meter active by pedaling until a message appears. Setting Your Power Zones You can set seven custom power zones using Garmin Connect. If you know your functional threshold power (FTP) value, you can enter it and allow the Edge to calculate your power zones automatically. 1. Select MENU > > Bike Settings > Bike Profiles. 2. Select a bike. 3. Select Power Zones. 4.
ANT+ Sensors ANT+ Sensor Troubleshooting Problem The ANT+ sensor will not pair with my device. Solution • Stay 10 m away from other ANT+ sensors while pairing. • Bring the device within range (3 m) of the heart rate monitor while pairing. • If the problem persists, replace the battery. I have a third-party Make sure that it is compatible with the Edge ANT+ sensor. (www.garmin.com/intosports). The heart rate data is • Make sure that the heart rate monitor is snug against your body.
