HOW A WIRELESS CYCLE COMPUTER WORKS
Your new Blackburn Delphi cycle computer is equipped with a wireless radio system for the transmission of
speed and distance. Wheel rotation data is sent from the fork to the computer unit on the handlebars where
it is processed to display speed and distance traveled. To reduce the chances of cross communication with
other wireless cycle computers the system is designed to be both directional and short range. Because of
the short range of the radio system, it is best to install the fork transmitter on the top half of the fork blade.
Mounting the unit at the bottom of the fork or on the back of the fork blade may result in the computer
being unable to pick up the signal.
AUTO START/STOP—Unlike wired units, wireless computers are incapable of having a true automatic start/stop
system because there is no hard wired circuit to close and activate the computer. Because of this, wireless
cycle computers must, at some point, turn off their radio system in order to conserve battery life. Your
Blackburn wireless computer is programmed with the most sophisticated Start/Stop algorithm available in a
cycle computer. While in SLEEP mode, the Delphi unit looks for new speed or heart rate information every
two minutes for a period of two hours. Even if you stop riding and do not start again for 2 hours, the largest
segment of ride data you will lose will be 2-minutes.

WIRELESS HEART RATE MONITORS
DELPHI 5.0 AND 6.0
Your new Blackburn cycle computer may be equipped with a wireless heart rate monitor. The heart monitor
system is a sophisticated athletic training tool which is capable of measuring your heart rate with the
accuracy of a hospital ECG system. Heart rate monitors use a chest strap to pick up the electrical signal
emitted by the contractions of the heart and transmit the information to the computer. Every time the heart
beats, a short radio signal is sent from the chest transmitter to the computer. The computer measures the
time between the incoming signals, filters and averages them and displays a heart rate number on screen.
To achieve the most accurate heart rate reading possible, it is important to be aware of circumstances that
can cause false signals to enter the system and cause your heart rate measurement to be inaccurate.
1. The chest strap should be worn as tightly as possible without being uncomfortable. If the chest strap
is not tight enough, movement between it and your body can cause false signals to be generated,
which may be seen as heart beats by the watch. This is especially true during high impact activities,
such as running.
2. Environmental factors such as high-tension power lines, home security systems and radio towers may
interfere with the ability of the watch to receive a signal from the transmitter. A loss of the heart rate
signal and the heart rate display showing zero, will usually indicate this. This problem is usually
transient in nature, and will stop once you have passed out of the area of interference.
3. Occasionally, when you are using your heart rate monitor watch in close proximity to other heart rate
monitors, it is possible for your watch unit to pick up the signal from the other transmitters. This is
called cross-talk. When you are experiencing cross-talk, you will see a very high heart rate or a heart
rate of zero. If this happens, simply allow a bit more space between you and the other users.
4. While riding, the flow of air over your body may cause your jersey or shirt to flutter and tap against the
heart rate transmitter. This tapping can result in false signals being generated causing inaccurate
readings. If you find this happening, try wearing the transmitter backward so that the transmitter and
electrodes are against your back with the elastic strap across the front of your chest.

PRESSURE SENSING ALTIMETERS
DELPHI 6.0
Because the altimeter system in the Blackburn Delphi 6.0 relies on Barometric Pressure for its
measurements, it is critical that you regularly calibrate the unit to a known altitude. Generally, the small
pressure changes experienced during a day of use will have only a minor effect on the accuracy of the unit.
However, the arrival or departure of a weather front can change the current altitude display by several
hundred feet or more.
To simplify the calibration process the Blackburn Delphi 6.0 allows you to store your home altitude to
memory and calibrate the unit to this altitude at any time using a PRESS & HOLD of the OPTION key while in
the CURRENT ALTITUDE screen.

SHIPPING MODE—Your new Blackburn Delphi computer comes to the dealer in SHIPPING
MODE. In this mode the LCD display is totally blank. This is done to extend the battery
life. Press any key to wake the unit up and advance to the default display mode.
NOTE: It is possible the unit will not come to you in SHIPPING MODE if it has been
previously activated. This should not have an adverse impact on the life of the
battery.
SLEEP MODE—When the receiver circuit of the computer unit shuts down, the unit goes into
its SLEEP MODE. In SLEEP MODE the display will show the current Time of Day,
Chronograph (RT or TT) and Units (Miles or Kilometers) settings.
On the bottom of the computer unit, to the upper right of the battery door is a small
hidden RESET key. Pressing this key with a toothpick or other small pointed object will
reset all programmed values to their default values and resets the microprocessor. This
may also be accomplished by removing and reinstalling the units’battery.
CAUTION—Pressing the RESET key will automatically clear any information from the units’
memory.

WEARING THE BLACKBURN INDEPAD™
TRANSMITTER BELT INSTALLING THE COMPUTER ON YOUR BIKE
ENGLISH
ENGLISH
To ensure a proper heart rate display, the chest transmitter must be moistened and properly adjusted. Wet
the electrodes (located to the right and left of the main transmitter case) with saliva or ECG conductive gel.
Do not use water, moisturizing creams or suntan oil, as these are insulators and may interfere with the heart
rate signal. Snap the plastic tabs at the end of the elastic belt into the holes at the end of the transmitter,
and adjust the strap so that the transmitter fits tightly below the pectoral muscles, as shown in the drawing.
NOTE: Users with significant chest hair may have a problem obtaining contact between the transmitter
electrodes and their skin, resulting in poor performance. It may be necessary for these individuals to
shave the area of their chest beneath the transmitter.
NOTE: In dry and cold climates it may take a few minutes of use for the electrodes to soften, and a layer of
perspiration to form between the contact and the skin for good performance. Moistening the electrodes
with saliva or ECG conductive gel can speed up this process.
13
INSTALLING THE WIRELESS FORK TRANSMITTER
The Delphi 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 receive speed and distance from a wireless transmitter
mounted to the front fork.
1. Attach the wireless front wheel sensor and rubber mounting pad to the front of
the left fork blade using the zip-ties provided so the battery cap is pointing
downward. Snug up the zip-ties but do not fully tighten them. The sensor
should be mounted as high on the fork blade as possible. The range of the
transmitter is approximately 18in (46cm). Mounting it high on the fork will
assure good signal reception. Other mounting locations may work, but we feel
this is the best location for most applications.
2. Attach the spoke magnet to a spoke on the same side of the wheel as the sensor.
Tighten the attachment screw just enough to hold the magnet in place but loose
enough so that it is still movable.
3. Adjust the position of the sensor and magnet so they are in proper alignment as
shown. The magnet should pass by the sensor adjacent to the molded plastic
line at a distance of 1-3mm.
4. Once everything is in alignment, fully tighten the spoke magnet in place and
tighten the zip-ties holding the sensor to the fork.

INSTALLING THE CADENCE TRANSMITTER AND BRACKET
Activation of the cadence functions of the Delphi 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 units requires the installation of the
bracket with the wired cadence sensor.
1. Attach the cadence sensor to the LEFT chain stay near where the crank/pedal pass the stay using the
zip-ties provided. Snug up the zip-ties but do not fully tighten them. It is recommended the cadence
sensor be mounted on the top of the chainstay.
NOTE: The wire exiting the sensor should be pointing toward the front of the bike.
2. Attach the cadence magnet to the back side of the LEFT crank arm using the zip-tie provided. The
cadence magnet should be attached as closely to the pedal spindle as possible.
3. Adjust and position the sensor so the magnet passes within 1-3mm. Fully tighten the zip-ties once
you have everything properly aligned.
4. Route the sensor wire forward and under the bottom bracket and along the bottom of the down tube
securing it occasionally with tape. Once you are near the head tube, the sensor wire should be
wrapped around the front or rear derailleur cable housing and the front brake cable housing.
5. Attach the bracket to the handlebars and tighten the mounting screw.
CAUTION—Make sure you leave enough slack in the sensor wire so the handle bars can turn fully from side to
side without creating any stress.

Blackburn_4/5/6_Manual 8/3/05 9:58 AM Page 18

ATTACHING THE COMPUTER HEAD TO THE HANDLEBAR
BRACKET AND TESTING
When the bracket and sensors are completely installed on the bike slide the Delphi
computer unit into the bracket. The computer should LOCK into the bracket with an
AUDIBLE "CLICK". If you do not hear a click or if the Delphi computer body is not
flush with the back edge of the bracket the computer is not locked in place and may
come out.
Once everything is assembled spin the wheel and turn the crank and make sure speed
and cadence are being displayed on the screen. If you are not receiving one or both
pieces of information, check the magnet and sensor alignment and make sure the
magnets are passing the proper point on the sensor and that they are within 1-3mm. If
they are closer to 3mm than to 1mm try reducing the gap and test the system again.
INSTALLING THE WIRELESS HANDLEBAR BRACKET
Attach the wireless handlebar bracket to the handlebars. It is best to place the computer on the left side of
the bars so it is located directly above the transmitter. However, this is not absolutely necessary and the unit
should work mounted on either side of the bars.
NOTE: There are two molded plastic shims supplied with the Delphi computer brackets. The THIN shim
allows the bracket to fit Oversized 31.8 mm handlebars. The THICK shim allows the bracket to fit
standard 26.0mm handlebars.

Blackburn Delphi Computers use the rolling circumference of your wheel and tire combination to determine
speed and distance. The more accurate this setting, the more accurate your ride information will be.
However, variations of less than 30mm from the actual circumference will have very little impact on the
overall accuracy of the unit.
PRESET WHEEL SI ES
For easy setup, Blackburn Delphi Computers come
with 11 of the most popular wheel/tire sizes
pre-programmed into the unit. Simply select the size
of your tire as you scroll through the list in the
programming sequence and you are done.
The following are the pre-set wheel sizes programmed
into the unit. Follow the steps on Page 33 to enter a

MEASURED WHEEL SI E
If your wheel/tire size is not one of the pre-programmed sizes, or if you desire absolute accuracy, you may
enter an exact wheel circumference into the system. Use one of the two following methods for measuring
the circumference of your wheel/tire combination.
MEASURING WHEEL SI E USING RADIUS METHOD
The wheel radius method is quick, easy and very accurate.
1. With your bike standing vertically on a flat surface, measure the distance in millimeters from the
center of the front axle or quick release to the floor. If your measurement is in inches, multiply by
25.4 to convert to millimeters.
2. Multiply the measurement in millimeters by 6.28 and enter the resulting number into your computer
using the steps on Page 35.
MEASURING WHEEL SI E USING ROLLOUT METHOD
The roll-out method is the most accurate method for determining the circumference of your wheel/tire
combination.
1. On a flat open surface make a mark on your tire and the floor exactly where they meet.
2. Roll your bike forward one full revolution of the front wheel and mark the point on the floor where the
revolution is complete. For maximum accuracy be sitting on the bike while someone rolls you and the
bike forward.
3. Measure the distance from the first mark to the second in millimeters and enter the resulting number
into your computer using the steps on Page 35.
