INSTALLING HYPER-BRAIN

Speed

Sensor

(Fig.A)

<For HyperMag & HyperRim>

Peel off the silver sticker cover on the Flywheel Cover.

1

Install the Speed Sensor into the hole and tighten it with the supplied Knob Bolt. (see Fig.A)

Knob Bolt

If your HyperMag or HyperRim trainer is the remote control model (Type-R) and

2

was made prior to 2000, you can set-up the HyperBrain together with the Remote
Shifter via the Support Stay. (see Fig. B)
The Support Stay will be attached with the supplied M4 Bolt (larger one).
(see Fig. C)

If your model is the dial control one (Type-D) or later than 2001 model, use the
supplied plastic Handlebar Mount instead of the Support Stay. (see Fig. D)

To use the Support Stay, slide the Plate Nut into the slit on the backside

3

of the Base, put the stay on it and tighten with the supplied M3 Bolt
(smaller one). (see Fig. C)
At this time, make sure the projection on the stay is on the Release
Lever side.
Then slide the Main Unit into the Base until it clicks into place.

To use the plastic Handlebar Mount, remove the bolt and the

4

vinyl cap then coil the band around your handlebar or some­where with the same diameter. This band will fit a 22.2mm
diameter.
Put the supplied rubber pad between the band and the handle­bar if you need.
Tighten the bolt firmly and simply slide the Main Unit into the
Base until click.
In this case, you don’t need to use the Plate Nut.

(Fig.D)

To avoid damaging the signal wire with the spinning crank, we recommend you to wrap both the

!

remote shifter cable and the signal wire with the supplied Spiral Tubes as shown in Fig.E.

When the HyperBrain is not in use, we recommend you should plug the hole on the Flywheel Cover

!

with a seal or a vinyl tape to prevent a noise caused by the spinning flywheel.

<For RDA InterRim Ergo>

If your RDA InterRim Ergo is later than 2001 model and has a hole on the Roller Support
Stay, you can install HyperBrain on it. PLEASE NOTE: There is no hole on this model
before 2000. Please look over and read the “Installing HyperBrain” section on the previous
page first to know how you should do it.

Put the RDA Bracket on the backside of the Roller Support Stay, and tighten with the

1

supplied M4 Bolt (larger one). (see Fig. F)

Install the Speed Sensor on the RDA Bracket. (see Fig. G)

2

Install the Magnet Sensor on a spoke of your rear wheel (usually you should choose

3

the opposite spoke to the air valve for better balance). Be sure you set it at same height
as the Speed Sensor. (see Fig. H)
T o install the sensor , remove the Nut from the Magnet Sensor and sandwitch the spoke
with both parts, then tighten it firmly . Put the spoke into the cut out section on the Nut.
Face the magnet to the Speed Sensor side.

Set the Speed Sensor position so the clearance between the Speed Sensor and the

4

Magnet Sensor is around 2 or 3 mm. (see Fig. I)

To avoid the problem of th sensor and magent hitting together, keep

!

the clearance as suggested above.
If the clearance is too wide the sensor will not work.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS

Mode Button (left button)

The display mode shifts each time the button is pressed (O-M-A-D-T), and the corresponding data is simultaneously dis­played on the sub-display. If the Mode button is held down for over 2 seconds, 24-hour clock will be displayed.

(Fig. G)

Nut

(Fig. H)

(Fig. I)

Start/Stop Button (right button)

Measuring of the Trip Distance and Elapsed Time is simultaneously started or stopped when the Start/Stop button is pressed.
During operation the speed scale symbol flickers.

Set Button (middle button)

When this button is pressed in the stop state in each mode, the following value can be changed;

• In (O) mode: Wheel Circumference

• In 24-hour Clock mode: 24-hour Clock

• In (T),(D) or (A) mode: on/off the Automatic Start/Stop

RESET

Select any mode except Total Distance (O), and press the Mode button and Start/Stop button simultaneously. The memo­rized Trip Distance, Elapsed Time, Average Speed and Maximum Speed will be erased. (When the two buttons are pressed in
“O” mode, the wheel circumference stored will be displayed.)

ALL CLEAR

When the AC button on the backside of the computer is pressed, all data stored in memory (trip distance, speed scale, wheel
circumference and clock time) will be erased. All displays illuminates, then the “mile/h” symbol alone appears. This opera­tion should be executed only when irregular display occurs or no display appears. Since all the memories are erased, set the
main unit again according to "Main Unit Preparation".

MAIN UNIT PREPARATION

The following must be completed before operation.
A battery is already fitted in the main unit when purchased. This battery is just for checking the function of
the unit so it may only last a short period of time.

Setting Speed Scale

Press AC button on the backside of the Main Unit to clear all data. All displays will illuminate. Then “mile/h” alone will be
displayed, “km/h” and “mile/h” are alternately displayed each time when the Start/Stop button is pressed. Select either as
desired. Press the center Set button to set the speed scale.

Setting the wheel circumference

The figures “2155” (standard wheel circumference for 27") will flicker. This is just a guideline so you have to adjust this
number to the exact size of your rear wheel. Measure the exact circumference of your wheel and input this number.
If you are going to use HyperBrain on HyperMag or HyperRim, set this number as “117” (the circumference of the drive
roller of your Hyper series resistance unit).
To revise “2155” to any number, press the Mode button to decrease the number one by one. When the button is held down, it
will rapidly decrease. To increase the number, press Start/Stop button.
When the desire figure appears, press the Set button. Current Speed and Elapsed Time will be displayed, then the figure you
selected will be set.

Setting the 24-hour clock time

Set the main unit in the clock mode by pressing the Mode button for over 2 seconds.
Press the Set button to adjust the time. The time stored appears, and the figures for minute flicker. Press the Start/Stop
button to advance the figures one by one. When the button is held down, it will rapidly increase. Set a time one or two
minutes ahead of the current time.
Press the Mode button. The figures for hour will flicker. Adjust it by using the Start/Stop button.
Press the Set button and the undisplayed second will return to zero. Now setting is completed.

How to replace the battery

If the display becomes invisible from the front, it is time for replacing battery.
Prepare a new battery (CR2032) in advance, before taking out the old battery. Insert a new battery so that it is tightly fitted to
the contact.
When replacing, be careful not to press the AC buttons, and replacement must be done promptly (within 20 seconds).
After replacement, don’t press AC button, because the data including total distance (odometer) is continuously measured, and
AC button will set all data erased.
However, the following malfunction might occur after replacement:

•No display appears.

•Unusual display appears.

•Display is O.K. but button don’t work.
In the above cases, press AC button so that display / buttons returns to normal. Please refer to "Main Unit Preparetion" in the
operating instructions.
When you pick the battery, make sure you must hold it at both edge. Do not hold the battery on both surface, this will
discharge the battery rapidly.

MEASURING AND DISPLAY FUNCTIONS

The Current Speed is displayed on main display (upper line) and updated once a second.

O - Total Distance (Odometer) 0.0 to 99,999 mile ±0.1 mile/h

Continuously measured unless all clear operation is done. At 10,000 miles(km), the increment becomes 1 mile(km). At
100,000 miles(km), it returns to zero and counting begins anew.

M - Maximum Speed 0.0(3.0) to 65.9mile/h ±0.3 mile/h

With Reset operation, it returns to zero and counting begins anew.

A - Average Speed 0.0 to 65.9 mile/h ±0.3 mile/h

The average speed from start to current point is displayed within 27 hours 46 minutes 39 seconds (99,999 seconds) or 999.99
miles (km). If either is exceeded, (.E) is displayed and calculation ceases.

D - Trip Distance 0.00 to 999.99 mile ±0.01 mile

The trip distance from start to current point is displayed. With Reset operation, it returns to zero.

T - Elapsed Time 0:00'00" to 9:59'59" ±0.003%

Elapsed time is measured from start to current point, in units of hours, minutes and seconds. At 10 hours, it returns to zero and
counting begins anew. With Reset operation, it returns to zero.

24-hour Clock 0:00' to 23:59' ±0.003%

The Current Time is displayed as a 24-hour Clock on the sub-display.

Auto (Automatic Start/Stop) Function

The HyperBrain has an automatic Start/Stop function (Auto function). This Auto function switches on/off the unit to start or
stop automatically. You don't need to press the Start/Stop button each time when the Auto function is switched on.
To switch on/off the Auto function, set the main unit in the (T),(D), or (A) mode. Press the Set button and the Auto function
will be switched on/off each time the button is pressed. When the Auto function is switched on, the “AT” symbol appears.

Power Saving Function

When the main unit is left without receiving any input for 60-70 minutes continuously, the power will be automatically saved.
Then the main unit will display the clock time only. Press either the Mode button or Start/Stop button to release Power
Saving mode. (The Power Saving mode is automatically released when the main unit receives signal from the sensor.)
