6 CALIBRATION & CORRECTION FACTOR
6.1 WHY CALIBRATE?
Everyone has a different walking and running style, which affects the
measurement. Therefore, you should set up (calibrate) the R3
transmitter for your running and walking style. If you use the factory
presets, the running computer may or may not provide you with
accurate data. Calibrating the sensor makes the measuring much more
precise.
6.2 CALIBRATION FUNCTION
The running computer has a calibration function. For the calibration, wear
the R3 transmitter and the running computer and run a distance that
is known to you. You can measure a distance in advance with a bike
computer, or run on a 400-meter track. After you have run the distance,
adjust the measured value to the actual distance run.
As your running or walking styles change as you change speed, the
calibration is carried out in the slow and fast speed respectively.
For the sensor positions chest and hips, you can perform two
calibrations:
k Walking
k Running
Important: To properly calibrate your computer, you must perform the
test twice at a minimum distance of 800 m.
226
www.sigmasport.com
6 CALIBRATION & CORRECTION FACTOR
6.3 ACTIVATING CALIBRATION
Prerequisite: The device is in training mode.
You are wearing both the R3 transmitter and the running computer.
Press and hold the SET button until the setting mode
is open.
Press the SPEED (+) button repeatedly until the
function “Calibration” appears.
Press the SET button. The RC 1209 determines the
position of the R3 sensor (chest or hips) and starts
the calibration function. The RC 1209 guides you
through the calibration.
6.4 CALIBRATING
Calibration is carried out for two speeds:
k Slow running or slow walking
Run here as slow as you would run in the slowest training.
k Fast running or fast walking
Run here at the fastest pace that you would run in an endurance run
or a long tempo run (over 3000 m). It is recommended that the two
speeds differ by 30 %.
Tip: If you use the device only for running and with heart rate
measurement (chest position) and therefore never wear on the hip, you
need calibrate only for the sensor position “Chest” and for “Running”.
US/GB
227
6 CALIBRATION & CORRECTION FACTOR
6.4.1 PREPARING FOR CALIBRATION
1 Put on the chest belt or attach the HipClip.
2 Go to a measured distance of at least 800 meters long.
Tip: The inside lane of a track is 400 meters.
3 Select “calibration” in the setting mode.
4 Press the SET button. The running computer detects whether you
carry the HipClip or the chest belt. The function “Running”
is displayed.
Tip: If you want to calibrate the RC 1209 for “Walking”, select
the function “Walking” with the SPEED (+) button.
5 Press the SET button. The running computer shows on the display
what you have to do.
6.4.2 CARRYING OUT CALIBRATION RUNS
1 Always start 20 meters from the starting line of the measured
distance (flying start).
2 Once you cross the starting line, press the START/STOP button.
The measurement begins.
3 After you have run the measured distance, press the START/STOP
button.
4 Now adjust the displayed value by pressing the PULSE (-)
or SPEED (+) button to the actual distance run.
5 Press the SET button. The slow calibration run is saved.
6 In the display now you can see the prompt “Run (walk) fast/
press Start” alternately. Follow steps 1 - 5 again to calibrate the
fast run.
Note: After you have performed the first calibration, the calibration
menu will change. If you redo it, you have the opportunity at the
beginning to distinguish between the following options: ON, OFF and
NEW. Select ON, then run in training mode with calibrated values.
Select OFF, then run with an uncalibrated RC 1209. Select NEW, then
re-calibrate the RC 1209.
228
www.sigmasport.com
6 CALIBRATION & CORRECTION FACTOR
6.5 CORRECTION FACTOR
If you get good values with or without calibration, which vary only
minimally in one direction, you have the option to manually correct
these values by the correction factor.
Example:
You know that you have run exactly 2000 m, but the running computer
always shows a little more, e.g. 2037 m.
The factory setting of the correction factor is 1.000 and does not effect
a change.
Please calculate the correction factor as follows:
k New correction factor = 1.000 x 2000 / 2037
k New correction factor = 0.982
Age correction factor (1.000) x actual distance (2000)
displayed distance (2037)
Follow steps 1-4 as described in section 5.4 “Brief guide to device
settings”
