SGY-PM Series Power Meters

•Pioneer Power Meter Cranksets and arms ship pre-set in theANT+ Format
•Simply install the crank on your bike and pair it to your ANT+ Cycle Computeras you would any otherANT+ device
•Whenused with otherANT+ Cycle Computers as a Power Meter,Magnetsare optional but will provide precision cadenceif used.
•Dual Leg Units ship in a Dual LegANT+ Mode and will provide allANT+ Power Metrics.
•Confirmingdual legANT+ Mode can be done by removing and replacingthe batteries,a solid orangelight on each arm confirms this mode.
•Dual Leg units can be switchedto independentSingle Leg Mode if needed. ie. Left Arm on one bike, Right Drive Side on another bike.
•Single Leg units ship in a Single LegANT+ Mode and will provide allANT+ Power Metrics.
•Confirmingsingle leg ANT+ Mode can be done by removing and replacing the batteries, a blinkingorange light on the sensor confirmsthis mode.
•Single leg units can be switched to Dual Leg Modewhen you upgrade to a dual leg system.
• Pioneer’s real-time and post ride “Pedaling Monitor” graphics and data are only available when using a Pioneer Cycle Computer w ith after ride data
uploadedto Pioneer Cyclo-Sphereride analysis site –www.cyclo-sphere.com
• A Pioneer Cycle Computer is required to switch the “Power Meter” in and out of the “Pedaling Monitor Mode”
•Supplied magnetsare requiredfor the PedalingMonitorconfigurationand must be magnetcalibratedfor properdata display.
•PerformingZero Calibration is recommended to maintainmaximum accuracy.
•The SGX-CA500 Cycle Computeris unique in that it is both a multi-formatreceiver and a transmitter
•Can receiveANT+ and PioneerPedaling MonitorSignals
•Can transmitANT+ Power Data to otherANT+ devices ie. ANT+ Computer,Zwift
•Can transmitvia ANT+ and update Pioneer Power Meter Firmware
•Can upload ride data via wifi
• Can update it’s own firmware via wifi
Easy Installation and Advanced Functionality
Fast Facts:

Easy Installation Power Meter Cranksets
with ANT+ Cycle Computer
1.) Magnet Placement (Optional)
•Measuring from the center of the bottom bracket out,
temporarily tape the magnet so that the center line of the
magnet is:
•Right Drive Side - 42mm
•Left Side - 53mm
•Use the supplied Magnet Placement Template to help locate
the optimum locations for magnet placement on the frame.
•Position the magnets so the sensor line and magnet center
line are parallel when the sensor passes over. Center hole on bottom bracket and use supplied
double sided tape to temporarily secure while locating
optimum magnet location

2.) Confirm Magnet Placement
•Remove and replace both Left and Right batteries. Orange light will appear for 10 seconds.
•Rotate the crank slowly (30rpm). Check that the LED on each sensor lights green once for each
revolution.
•Once confirmed, secure magnets for final placement. If no Green LED,
check and adjust

3.) Pair to your ANT+ Computer
•Spin the crank 3 –4 rotations to activate the Power Meter

Single Leg and Dual Leg ANT+ Modes
Switching Left and Right Sensors FROM Dual Leg to Single
Leg Mode
•Notes
•This method is for users who wish to separate a dual leg system and use single
leg crank arms . Ie. 2 different bikes.
•The following method is for ANT+ Cycle Computer users who do NOT have a
Pioneer Cycle Computer –
•Dual Leg DuraAce, Ultegra, and “Kits” ship pre-set in the Dual ANT+ Mode.
•To confirm Dual Leg ANT+ Mode, remove and replace the batteries, a SOLID
Orange light on both the Left and Right Sensors confirms this mode.
Switching Left and Right Sensors FROM Single Leg to Dual
Leg Mode
•Notes
•This method is for users who are upgrading from a single leg sensor with a
second Left or Right leg sensor.
•The following method is for ANT+ Cycle Computer users who do NOT have a
Pioneer Cycle Computer
•Single Leg DuraAce, Ultegra, and “Kits” ship pre-set in the Single Leg ANT+
Mode.
•To confirm Single Leg ANT+ Mode, remove and replace the battery, a
BLINKING Orange light confirms this mode.
Switching to Single Leg Mode
1. Spin the crank 3 –4 rotations to activate the Power Meter
2. Press the push switchfor 3 seconds and release
3. Both sensors should blink orange for 10 seconds Switching to Dual Leg ANT+ Mode
1. Spin the crank 3 –4 rotations to activate the Sensors
2. Press the Push Switchfor 3 seconds and release
3. Confirm both sensors are blinking
4. Whileblinking, press and hold the push switchfor 3 more
seconds and release
5. To confirm you have switched to Dual Leg, remove the
batteries and replace, you should see a solid orange light
on both sensors

SGX-CA500
Real-Time Interval Intensity –Pioneer Exclusive!
•Data Field - Power Training / Data Type –Real-Time Interval Intensity
•Interval Intensity is a percentage based on a riders average power over time divided by the riders historical MMP for the same
duration of time.
•Ex: For a rider with a 30 minutes MMP Power Value of 250W, a 200W average for 30 minutes would be 80% of that riders
MMP.
•Provides a real-time Interval Intensity percentage of a riders MMP for continuous intervals of time, from start of ride to end.
•Based on riders 3 month MMP Chart from Cyclo-Sphere
•Holding a continuous 70% –80% Interval Intensity is a good recommended range for most riders wishing to maximize their ride
effort
•Automatically uploads and benchmarks new MMP records over 100%
•Requires Firmware ver. 20160706
10 Min 75
3 month 10 Min. MMP = 260W
75% of 10 min MMP = 195W
