MOUNTING
THE SPEEDZONE®ELITE
The SpeedZone®Elite wireless transmit-
ter can mount on the right or the left
side of the fork blade. The right side
should be used on large frames or
when a suspension fork is installed.
The optimal distance between the com-
puter and the transmitter is 24 inches
(610mm) The distance may need to be
less than 24 inches (610mm) if ambi-
ent temperatures are below 40°F (4°C).
To reduce signal loss in colder temper-
atures, the transmitter should be
mounted as close to the computer as
possible. (Maximum mounting distance
is 28 inches). Use the transmitter-
mounting bracket and tie-wraps pro-
vided to position the sensor. Do not
tighten the tie-wraps until final place-
ment of the magnet is correct.
(See figure 1).
Attach the magnet to a spoke across
from the transmitter with the magnet
screw. The clearance between the
magnet and the transmitter should be
approximately 1/32"-1/16" (1-2mm).

PROGRAMMING
Programming the functions of your
SpeedZone®Elite requires it to be
placed in various "modes" (i.e.
odometer mode, distance mode). The
computer can be cycled through these
modes by pressing the "MODE" button
located on the right-hand side of the
housing. Once a specific mode has
been entered, its values can be reset
or adjusted by pressing either the
"FUNCTION" button located on the left
hand side of the housing or by using a
combination of the "MODE" and
"FUNCTION" buttons.
1. Miles or Kilometers selection
Your SpeedZone®Elite will record
speed and distance in either miles
(M/h) or kilometers (Km/h). To enter
your selection of miles or kilometers,
push the "MODE" button until ODO
(odometer) appears on the left side of
the display (This is called the odometer
mode). Hold down the "FUNCTION"
(left side) button and ‘tap’ the "MODE"
button once. The Km/h, m/h indicator
will begin blinking. You may now alter-
nate between miles and kilometers by
pressing the "MODE" button. When

Roll Out Method
The roll out method will provide the
most accurate computer calibration
and can take into account variables
such as inflation pressure, rim width
and rider weight.
1. Extend a tape measure out to
3000mm (120 inches) and lock
it in place.
2. With your tire inflated to its proper
pressure, place the valve at the 6:00
position (at the bottom) directly over
the start of the measuring tape.
3. Roll the wheel one complete revolu-
tion until the valve stem is again at
the 6:00 position. Read the tape
directly under the valve and note
the distance in millimeters.
(To convert inches to millimeters,
multiply inches by 25.4). Use this
number to replace the default
(default values are 2073 for wheel
one, and 2134 for wheel two)
when programming your computer.
(See figure 8)

5. Timer Selection
The timer can be selected for either
Automatic Timer Mode (ATM) or Timer
Mode (TM). The ATM selection allows
you to keep track of your actual riding
time. The timer only operates when the
wheel is rotating and cannot be turned
on or off manually.
The TM selection is just like a conven-
tional stopwatch. The timer is activated
manually and records the time whether
the wheel is rotating or not. Tapping
the "FUNCTION" button starts and
stops the stopwatch and holding the
"FUNCTION" button for three seconds
will reset the stopwatch.
Note: The average speed (AVS) will be
calculated differently based upon the
selection of ATM or TM. If ATM is
selected, the AVS is based upon only
riding time. If TM is selected the AVS is
based on the total time the stopwatch
is turned on or activated.
(See figure 11)
To select either TM or ATM, first
press the "MODE" button until either
"TM" or "ATM" appears on the left-
hand side of the screen. To alternate
between "TM" and "ATM" press the
"MODE" and "FUNCTION" buttons
simultaneously. Once the desired timer

speed is retained in memory and up-
dated when a higher speed is attained.
The maximum speed can be reset by
pressing the "FUNCTION" button for
three seconds. (See figure 14)
Auto Start/Stop Timer (ATM)
In ATM mode the stopwatch function
records the actual time spent riding. It
operates only when there is speed
input and is displayed on the lower
line of the screen.
Timer Mode (TM)
In TM mode the stopwatch function will
operate when the "FUNCTION" button
is pressed. The stopwatch will record
the total time after the button is pressed
regardless of whether there is speed
input or not. The average speed (AVS)
will be calculated based on the time
the timer mode is activated.
Interval Timer (INT)
The interval timer is displayed on the
lower line of the screen when (INT)
appears on the left. The timer indi-
cates the end of an interval with one
short beep per second for the last 4

COMPUTER FUNCTIONS
Speedometer
Speed is always indicated on the top
line of the screen. The speed is shown
continuously up to 99.9 M/h (99.9
Km/h) with a resolution of 0.1 M/h
(0.1 Km/h)
Average Speed (AVS)
The average speed is displayed on the
lower line of the screen when AVS is

seconds of the interval. This is fol-
lowed by a long beep, indicating the
beginning of a new interval.
Cadence (CAD)
Cadence mode will display your pedal-
ing speed in RPM’s (revolutions per
minute) on the lower line of the screen.
Monitoring how fast you turn your ped-
als can be used as a tool to enhance
the efficiency with which you ride your
bicycle. Simply put, the best cadence is
a balance between leg speed and pedal
pressure. Beginning cyclists typically
prefer to pedal at a slower cadence,
around 60-rpm, while advanced cyclists
and racers are more efficient between
90 and 100 rpm. (See figure 15)
