Pro simulates the power needed for a 176 lb. bike
and rider to climb the slope on a road bike with slick
tires. You can adjust the weight and the bike options
using PowerAgent
TM
software.
While in watts mode, target power can be adjusted
between 30 and 1000 watts in 10-watt increments.
Use the arrow buttons with any box active to in-
crease or decrease the number of watts.
The CycleOps PowerBeam
TM
Pro
automatically ad-
justs the resistance to match the target power
output. Power is a combination of speed and torque.
Because of this, you experience less resistance the
faster you pedal, keeping your power output at the
desired level. This enables you to customize your
workout to meet specifi c performance needs.
Note: Not all power levels are available at all speeds.
When the CycleOps PowerBeam
TM
Pro
cannot add
any more resistance, an up arrow is shown in the
speed/cadence box to indicate you should speed up
to achieve the target power. When the CycleOps Pow-
erBeam
TM
Pro
cannot remove any more resistance
a down arrow is shown in the speed/cadence box to
indicate you should slow down to achieve the target
power.
3.3: Power
The number displayed in the Power box in watts is
the measurement of the power you are expending.
Press select to view the average power in watts of
your workout, and press it again to view your maxi-
mum wattage. Press it once more to display total
kilojoules and once again to return to current power.
3.4: HR
HR displays your heart rate during the workout. You
must be wearing the heart rate monitor strap for
this box to function. Pressing select will enable you
to see your average heart rate over the course of
the workout. Pressing it again shows your maximum
heart rate. Press it once more to return to current
heart rate.
3.4.1: Using the Heart Rate Monitor Strap
Before beginning your ride, place the strap on your
torso just below the pectoral muscles as shown in
the picture below.
For best results, moisten the contacts. The moni-
tor will communicate wirelessly with the CycleOps
PowerBeam
TM
Pro computer while you ride. The
CycleOps PowerBeam
TM
Pro computer automatically
fi nds for your heart rate strap when a workout is
entered. Once it is found, the data is displayed on the
CycleOps PowerBeam
TM
Pro computer. If the strap
is not found, the unit will time out and stop search-
ing. If you attach your heart rate strap while a ride is
in progress, exit and enter the ride to re-initiate the
search.
Note: When the battery is changed out in the heart
rate strap, you will need to re-learn the device to the
CycleOps PowerBeam
TM
Pro
computer (see Section
5.5).
3.5: Interval
Your ride can be broken into sections called “inter-
vals” by pressing and releasing the mode and select
buttons at the same time. The interval box displays
which section of the workout you are currently in.
Press select while the interval box is highlighted to
enter active interval mode. This causes the screen to
darken and display information for the active in-
terval only, as shown below. While in active interval
mode, press mode to cycle between the six boxes on
the screen. Press select to cycle through the param-
eters normally shown in that box. The values shown
are only for the interval you’re currently in.
