INSTALLATION

Page 8
d. Mount the console bracket using three M5 x 14mm
button head screws.
Caution: over-tightening screws by using an
impact, screw gun, etc. will damage the handlebar
e. Secure the cosmetic cover with the M5 x 16mm screw
f. Slide the console onto the bracket. Insert the M3 x 6mm
pan head screw and tighten with the screw driver
3. Remove the screw from under the handlebar, install one of
the wire clips, and secure with the same screw.

If installing the Power sensor (740-8730), skip to Page
14, Step 1. Otherwise, continue to Step 4.
4. Plug the console cable (740-8928 “RJ45 2-PIN LONG CABLE)
RJ45 connector into the console then slide the grommet of
the cable into the slot on the connector protective cap as
shown.
5. Attach the protective cap to the bracket using the two M3 x
12mm socket head cap screws, and tighten with the 2.5mm
hex key
6. Prior to installing the upper conduit, clean head tube with
isopropyl alcohol and allow to air dry.

Page 10
7. Peel the non-stick strip o the plastic conduit base (yellow).
8. Attach the base (blue) aligned to forward edge and lower
edge of the frame tube.
9. Insert the cable through the slot
10. Snap the outer part of the cable duct onto the base with
the cable inside
11. Using a Phillips screw driver, remove the sweat guard
Caution: Do not use a power drill in removing and
re-installing, over-tightening screws will damage the frame
12. Route the cable through the sweat guard
13. Re-mount the sweat guard

Page 11
14. Remove the RPM sensor from the box and disassemble.
Discard the adapter plate (blue) which is not used on this
model bike.
Adapter Plate
15. Plug the RPM sensor cable 2-pin connector into the RPM
sensor connector
16. Slide the cable grommet into the slot in the RPM sensor
housing.
Caution: Make sure the internal wires are coiled so
that the screws don’t cut or compress the wire.
17. Reinstall the RPM sensor cover into the housing
18. Reinstall the M3 x 6mm Phillips Pan Head screw

Page 12
19. Remove the top and bottom screw from the front of the
chain guard
20. Position the RPM sensor as shown and reinstall the two
chain guard screws. The RPM sensor should be appx.
2-3mm away from the ywheel, or about the width of a
credit card.
If the RPM sensor is too close, it will rub against the sensor
magnet that is embedded in the ywheel. If the RPM sensor
is too far away, the sensor will intermittently pick up a sig-
nal from the magnet or will not pick up any signal at all; this
will cause an erratic RPM display, or no RPM display

21. Prior to applying the lower conduit, clean the surface of the
inner right fork with isopropyl alcohol and allow to air dry.
22. Peel the non-stick strip o the plastic conduit base (yellow).
23. Attach the base (blue) rmly on the inside of the right hand
fork. There should be about one inch gap between chain
guard/rpm sensor bracket and the wire conduit.
The top of the conduit should be as high as the beginning
bend in the fork

Page 13
24. Route the wire inside the conduit and snap the conduit
outer cover on to the base
25. Final wiring path shown to the right in green
26. Installation complete, power on the display and spin the
crank to ensure RPMs are displayed on the console.

the cable inside
8. Using a Phillips screw driver, remove the sweat guard
Caution: Do not use a power drill in removing and
re-installing; over-tightening screws will damage the frame
9. Verify the updated bolt & magnet are installed on the bike
as shown below. (Serials after XXXXXXDAY1642XXXX)

Page 16
10. Plug console cable (blue) into the RJ45 connector at the
front of the sensor, and the RPM cable (2-PIN SHORT SPEED
SENSOR CABLE) (red) into the 2-pin connector on the
underside of the power sensor. Slide each cable’s grommet
into their respective slots in the power sensor case. (See
inside view below)
11. Attach sensor case to the resistance mechanism using the
M4 x 6mm button head screws. Use blue thread lock on the
screws to ensure the sensor mounts fully.
Caution: Be sure that sensor case sits tight against
the black plate of the resistance mechanism. All wires must
be contained within the sensor cover and not protrude
from the sensor cover, which will prevent the cover from
being completely seated.
12. Re-mount the sweat guard

Internal routing for AC™ PERFORMANCE (SKU 9-7320) & AC™ PERFORMANCE PLUS (ALL SKUs)
1. Remove the handlebar from the bike
2. Route the Power Upgrade Cable 740-8931 (blue) though
the rear part of the handlebar using the grommet 740-8822
(yellow) in the front of the post
Caution: do not route the wire through the front
gap in the handlebar
Caution: The console-to-power cable has dierent
lengths of unshielded wires at each end has RJ45 con-
nectors on both ends. The end with the shorter length of
unshielded wires plugs into the console. The end with the
longer length of unshielded wires should be routed out the
bottom of the post.
3. Return the handlebar to the bike. Cable should exit the
frame (yellow) as shown with wire to the right of the brake
carriage plate.
