Echelon2 Features and Functionality
The Echelon2 provides riders with real-time user metrics that can be used to improve the current and future workouts.
Watts, time, kcal, distance, RPMs, speed, distance, and heartrate are displayed on an intuitive display that allows for ease
of use during high intensity rides.
Backlit LCD Display
During the workout, the multi-function, backlit LCD shows your workout measurements, results, user setup data and
console diagnostics.
To turn on the backlight, push the Backlight button. The backlight turns o after 10 seconds to conserve the batteries.
This backlight setting can be adjusted in the Service menu.
Page 7
Heart Rate Monitor
The console receives heart rate data from the heart rate monitor (HRM).
The console can read heart rate data from an ANT+ 2.4GHz or Polar® compatible 5kHz wireless chest strap.
• ANT+ 2.4GHz Wireless: The ANT+ 2.4GHz Wireless Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) sends heart rate data to the console
after proximity linking automatically occurs after console startup. The console can read the HRM data to a distance of 118” (3 m) during Workout Mode. If you have a compatible paired ANT+ Sport Watch and ANT+ HRM,
the console links with the Sport Watch and reads the heart rate data from it, if the watch is compatible. The
Schwinn console uses the ANT+ Fitness Prole. Visit
www.thisisant.com for a directory of compatible devices
• Standard EM 5kHz Pulse: The console uses the EM (electromagnetic) 5kHz pulse wireless protocol to read heart
rate data from the standard heart rate monitors (HRMs), such as a Polar® transmitter chest strap.
Workout Data Storage
The console sends workout data to the user’s data storage device -- for example, a USB ash memory device or a sport
watch.
• ANT+ Sport Watch for Data Storage: During Workout Mode the console sends workout data to the ANT+ Sport
Watch. When the proximity linking is complete, the watch and console can send and read data up to 118” (3 m).
Visit
www.thisisant.com for a directory of compatible devices.
• USB Interface / Data Storage: During Workout Mode the console sends workout data to the USB device:
• Workout (total) -- Time, Distance, Calories, Power, RPM, Avg Power, Max Power, Avg
• Workout Stages -- Time, Distance, Avg Power, Max Power, MAX RPM. Consoles with rmware V1.1
and later will also report AVG and MAX heart rate for each stage.
NOTE: If you connect the USB device after the workout ends, the console only sends the Total Summary data to
the USB device. Workout Data is stored as a .csv le with the name MPOWERXX.csv, where XX is the two-digit
number from 1 to 99. The console will automatically save using the next available number on the USB device if
les are already present.
The USB port also gives access to update the console rmware by a Service Technician. There is a USB symbol that will
ash next to the RPM when the console is uploading data to the USB stick. The stick must remain in the plug as long as
the USB symbol ashes. Once the symbol stops ashing, the stick can be removed.
Page 8
Power
The power display eld shows the Power in Watts that you are producing at the current resistance level (1 horsepower =
746 Watts). Power data only shows if there is a power sensor installed on the bike.
RPM
The RPM display eld shows the current pedal revolutions per minute (RPM).
Heart Rate
The Heart Rate display eld shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the heart rate monitor (HRM). When
the computer is ON, it will search for a signal from a compatible heart rate strap for 30 seconds. During this time, the
HR symbol will ash. If a strap is detected, the HR symbol will stop ashing and remain solid while displaying the HR. If
a signal is not detected after 30 seconds, the HR symbol will disappear. The user may reinitiate the pairing process by
pressing and releasing the ON/OFF button.
Page 9
Heart Rate Note: The heart rate monitor is not a medical test, nor is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide
to target heart rate training. Please consult with your physician prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
Schwinn does not warranty the heart rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate system performance
various based on a user’s physiology, tness level, age, method of use, and other factors.
Calories
The Calories display eld shows the estimated calories that you have burned during the exercise. This value is calculated
based on POWER if a Power Sensor is installed. Calories are not calculated if a power sensor is not installed. Consoles
with rmware V1.1 or later have to ability to turn the CAL display OFF in the service menu.
Workout Stage
The STAGE display eld shows the time, distance and AVG/MAX power in the current Stage of the workout. Time and
distance values start at zero and count forward until the end of the Stage. Power is averaged for the current stage.
Gear
The gear display eld shows a number from 0-36 indicating resistance level. The gear display can be turned OFF in Service Mode.
Workout Totals
The TOTAL display eld shows the total time, distance and avg/max power for the entire workout period.
Keypad
The multi-function keypad lets you set the console measurements for your workout, see and update your workout data,
and examine the console diagnostic messages. Tap the ON/ OFF button to activate the console from Sleep Mode. The
Operations section of this manual gives you the procedures for using the buttons in each Operations mode. The Backlight button sets your selections during the ride and in Service Mode.
Battery Level
The Battery Level icon shows the battery level for the console. All four segments of the icon are on when the battery
level is high. When the battery level is low, only the bottom segment is on. The bottom segments ashes when battery
level is very low.
Page 10
If the battery level is too low to continue operation, the console display ashes the message “LO batt” and the console
goes into Sleep Mode. If this occurs during a workout, the workout stops and the console display shows the workout
results for 10 seconds. Then the “LO batt” message displays and the console goes into Sleep Mode.
Bike Sensor Data
The console receives data from the bike’s sensors and uses the data to calculate workout results.
- RPM Sensor: The Schwinn® console comes with a RPM sensor for the bike. This sensor transmits data from
the ywheel to the power sensor and the console.
- Power (Watts) Sensor: The Power sensor is an optional upgrade. The power sensor calculates rider Power
(Watts) production from the brake resistance mechanism.
Pause Mode
During the ride, the console collects user data to calculate and record workout data. Proximity linking to the user’s HRM
or ANT+ watch also automatically occurs after console startup..
Use the appropriate instruction for monitoring equipment.
- USB storage device --install the device in the USB port.
- ANT+ watch --link to the console. Move the watch to 2”-4” (5-10 cm) or less from the ANT+ Link Here icon on
the console and hold it there until proximity linking is complete.
- ANT+ HRM --link to the console. Lean into the console so that the HRM is 7.5”-31” (20-80 cm) from the ANT+
Link Here logo, until a value is displayed.
Note: If you have an ANT+ Sport Watch and paired ANT+ HRM, it is only necessary for the console to link
with the sport watch. However, if you have an ANT+ Sport Watch and EM 5kHz HRM, the console links to
the watch and the HRM. Visit
sole uses the ANT+ Fitness prole.
