SRM POWERMETER

Components

PowerMeter: The PowerMeter is the “spider” to which your right crank arm is attached.

Its serial number is a 6-digit number machined on the front or backside of the PowerMe­ter, close to the chainring bolts. PowerMeter slope can be found on the lid on the back of
your PowerMeter (e.g. 23.7 Hz/Nm).

Cadence Magnet: Every SRM PowerMeter comes with a cadence
magnet, which is required to turn the PowerMeter on and continu­ously transmit data. See pg. 7 for cadence magnet installation in­structions.

PowerMeter Slope
Example: S: 26.3Hz/Nm

PowerMeter Serial Number
Example: PM: 51828

SRM POWERMETER

Installation

PowerMeter: Install the PowerMeter according to the original crank manufacturer’s

instructions. Depending on the bike frame, you may need to purchase the correct bottom
bracket and/or adapters. It is recommended that you have the SRM PowerMeter installed
by a professional bike shop or service technician.

Cadence Magnet:

The cadence magnet may be mounted under the cable guide (A) or secured with indus­trial double-stick tape to the bottom bracket shell (B).

A B

Location:

The cadence magnet path is highlighted in
red. The magnet should be mounted 3-5mm
away from the inner lid and pass within the
highlighted area. The exact cadence magnet
path differs among PowerMeter models. Suc­cessful Pairing (pg. 11) and cadence indicate
correct magnet placement.

Real-Time displays the current Power, Cadence, Speed, Heart Rate, and Training Zone.
The top line will alternate between time, altitude gained, and distance. You can adjust the
top line display settings in SRMWin or SRMMac under “PowerControl Setup.” (pg. 16)

will synchronize the PowerControl with the PowerMeter, Speed Sensor, and Heart Rate
monitor. Scroll through the different wireless device options with the MODE button.
Device must be activated and transmitting by spinning crank or wheel before pairing.

2. Once you are on the screen for the device you would like to pair, press SET. An an-

tenna will begin blinking in the lower right corner. Once your device is detected,

Setting the Zero-offset before every ride is recommended to ensure the most accurate data.
The Zero-offset can be compared to zeroing a bathroom scale before weighing yourself; the
scale must start at 0 to measure an accurate weight.

From the Real-Time screen press MODE and SET simultaneously to enter the Zero-offset
mode. You will see two numbers; the top number is the current offset of the PowerMeter
and the lower number shows the previously stored offset. Hit SET once and the lower num­ber will update to store the current offset. You have successfully completed the Zero-offset.

The Zero-offset is affected by temperature and humidity and can change slightly from day
to day and during a ride. The SRM PowerMeter has the ability to automatically update the
Zero-offset to account for these changes. The “Auto” function is activated when the word
Auto appears in the Zero-offset screen, this is the default setting in the PowerControl. A
speed sensor must be installed and transmitting in order for the Auto Zero-offset to func­tion.

Altitude can be adjusted from the Zero-offset screen by pressing MODE. Use the PRO and
SET button to view or adjust elevation.

ANT+ COMPATIBILITY

The SRM Wireless PowerMeter is ANT+ compatible. There are a number of ANT+ bike
computers on the market (e.g. Garmin) which will connect with the SRM PowerMeter;
however, SRM can not guarantee that data displayed on third party head units is accurate
to the standard of the SRM PowerControl.

Below is an example of how the Garmin device connects to a power meter.

Connecting a Garmin:

1. Menu, Settings, Bike Settings

2. ANT+ Power, check “PowerMeter yes”

3. Rescan

4. Spin cranks forward until it reads “PowerMeter present”

5. Calibrate, wait for it to read “Calibration success”

6. Sensor Details will show PowerMeter slope and serial number

Note: A combined speed/cadence sensor (e.g. Duo-Trap) must be turned off in order for
your ANT+ device to display Cadence and Power.

If you need assistance using a Garmin, visit www.garmin.com.

SRM SOFTWARE

Installing SRMWin, SRMMac

In order to view and analyze SRM training files,
you must have a software program that is
compatible. Every SRM Training System comes
with SRM Software (for Windows or Mac)
download free at www.srm.de. The SRM
Installer will offer the following choices for
Windows:

Standard: Will install the SRM Software with
drivers for PCV, VI, 7.
Software only: Will install SRM Software only.
This option must be chosen if you already have
a previous version of SRMWin installed.

On SRMMac Software, you must run the “SRMMacSetup”

in order to fully install the software on your computer.
Only then can you open the SRMMac. SRMMac software
is compatible with PowerControl VI and 7.

Note: If needed, PowerCon­trol drivers are also available
for download at
www.srm.de.

CARING FOR THE SRM TRAINING SYSTEM

The SRM PowerMeter and PowerControl are waterproof; however, we DO NOT recom­mend using a pressure washer. When cleaning your PowerMeter or PowerControl, use a
cloth or rag with a mild detergent or soap. Solvents and degreasers can damage the
PowerMeter decal and PowerControl. Do not submerge or clean in a solvent tank. Do not
use any flammable substance.

SERVICING THE SRM TRAINING SYSTEM

In a great effort to improve customer experience, SRM features 1,900 hours of battery
life to every road PowerMeter. This is nearly 5x more than any other power meter on the
market today and equates to over 3 years of regular training for most users. There is a
PowerMeter battery counter in SRMWin software which will alert you as to when a factory
battery replacement is required (pg 16).
Standard SRM service includes battery change, recalibration, and waterproofing. A Ser­vice Order Form can be downloaded at www.srm.de and mailed to your SRM Service
Center with the unit.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Complete and send in the provided warranty card to activate the warranty and register as
the owner of your new SRM Training System. All new SRM PowerMeters come with a 3 ­year limited warranty and is void in the case of damage due to crashes and damage due
to opening the PowerMeter and/or PowerControl outside of the SRM Service Center. If
you have questions regarding warranty, please contact your SRM Service Center.
