Quick Start guide
Pairing PowerSense®
with your head unit
Ensure your head unit is switch on.
Navigate to the settings menu on your head unit. Usually this is through the main
menu (refer to your user manual or check your device website for more info)
Sharply tap the crank PowerSense is affixed to, to turn it on.
Once PowerSense is on, it will broadcast and be visible on any ANT+ device
just like any other power-meter.
Select PowerSense in the menu, and add.

Data screens
Most head units will allow a degree of adjustability for the different things you can view whilst out
riding. You’ll view these different things on what’s referred to as pages.
Page 1 being the screen you use the most, screen two, usually a ‘specialist screen’ having things like
Power to Weight, %FTP and VAM as an example of a climbing page. Although we like the example
of having a sprint screen which has Power and a Timer and…well that’s it. Most people only have
3 pages and then their Map page, maybe their virtual partner page.
When you come to adjust your data screens we recommend you do it whilst out on a ride.
Only during then will you know what you really want to see. Try to do this whist out by yourself as this
could get very annoying for your mates, or very tiring for you when they don’ t wait up for you, like us,
we’d leave you there no worries at all.
Troubleshooting
Sometimes things don’t always go so smoothly. Whereas we’ve tried to make PowerSense as hassle
free as possible, things happen. If for some reason you can’t Connect or add PowerSense, we’ll need
to pull the battery, ‘Forget’ the device on your head unit, pop the battery back in, and then research.
Doing this, believe it or not, fixes a whole host of problems. *turns it off, and turns i t back on again*

FAQs
Will it fit on my bike?
There’s a very easy way to find out if
PowerSense is compatible with your bike.
You’ll need 11mm clearance between the non
drive-side crank and the chain stay.
You can get away with a bit less, but this is
what we recommend for generally dirty and
groggy roads.
How do I fit it on my bike?
We’ve got lots of content showing you how
to fit a crank to your bike.
Click ‘Fitting’ on the main website to
see how.
Will it work with my head unit?
PowerSense communicates with head
units over Ant+. So, if your head unit
operates on this platform, then yes!
Most Garmins and other head units use this
communication platform but check the head
unit box or website of your head unit’s
manufacturer and you’ll be able to check
there.
Can I swap it between my bikes?
Short answer, yes, but only the whole
crank. You can change the crank between
bikes if you’re so inclined. As the sensor is
glued on with super, super, super glue (it
gets the best result) then you’d break the
unit if you tried to pull it off and put it on
another crank
PowerSense has been created so that you
don’t have to change it between bikes, and
priced so that you can enable all your
machines to generate power data.
How long does Calibration take?
Short answer – a few seconds. Navigate to
the Zero Offset/Calibration screen on your
head unit (made easier by going through
your head unit’s manual) and ensuring
you’re not clipped into the pedal, and the
pedal is at the 6 o’clock position, press
calibrate and wait for a figure of around
200 to be returned. A few units either side
of 200 is normal.
Can I get a Bike Shop to fit my
PowerSense Crank?
Absolutely. Take your bike to any Authorized
Dealer and they will be able to not only fit
the crank to your bike, but show you how to
calibrate PowerSense so you are power
ready out of the shop! Pretty cool huh. (Just
remember your head unit).
Is there any general maintenance I need to do?
There are a couple of things you can do to
ensure PowerSense works the best it can.
We recommend you calibrate before
every ride
harm by just calibrating once a week.
Also cleaning. PowerSense is pretty tough.
Even we don’t break them very often and
we’re trying! Try not to catch it with a
jet-wash! (Not that you should be jet washing your bike anyway as it’ll blow the grease
from the bearings).
I think I’ve done something wrong!
. Although you wouldn’t do any
Help!
First thing, relax. We’ve got your back.
Secondly, check out the website and
social media. They were put together
incase you’re stuck with anything.
Support@avio.mobi will get you through to
one of us here at basecamp who will sort
you out. Whatever the issue,
we’ll get you right.
