4.2. Device Compatibility

The AIRhub Smartphone App is currently compatible with Apple iOS and
Android devices.

The Viiiiva Heart Rate Monitor broadcasts both Bluetooth Light protocol
(BLE) and ANT+ signals, allowing heart rate data to be collected
simultaneously by your phone and other recording devices; SRM, Garmin
etc.

The AIRhub uses BLE to transmit data. BLE protocol uses power similar
to that of the super low power wireless protocol ANT+ and will not drain
your battery like other Bluetooth devices.

to select your desired resistance setting.

drag.

Watts per km/h Mode
Increase resistance by 0 - 2

Watts for every km/h increase in
speed.

Page 18

www.terraindynamics.com.au

TM

7.2. Applying resistance using
different Operating modes

Once an Operating mode has been
chosen, and a minimum speed of
20km/h has been met, the AIRhub will
begin to apply resistance.

When resistance is applied a
light tapping is felt. This is
normal and indicates the
AIRhub is working.

NB#: Once a command is set,
resistance will be continuously
applied – even while the
Application is closed/in the

7.2.1. Manual Wattage Mode

Using this mode, you can select
an extra resistance from 0 to 100
additional watts. It allows for the
manual application of large amounts of
resistance from 15km/h to 45km/h.

This mode is usually chosen when
maximum resistance is required, such
as high intensity efforts or strength

endurance efforts, or when the specic

increase in resistance needed is known.

(Session example, see page 24)

background.

To stop resistance a Pause
command must be sent by
using the “Pause” button on the
home screen.

Resistance will turn off when
speed slows below 15km/h. This
will not inhibit riding below
15km/h.

The device will stay active whilst
stationary for up to 2 mins.

7. USING THE AIRHUB CONTD.

7.2.2. Power Meter Mode

This mode allows you to receive power
data to your smartphone and use it via
the AIRhub App to hold a power output
that you choose.

In order to use this mode your Power
Meter must connect to your smartphone
via Bluetooth. Power meters with
Bluetooth capability will be able to
connect directly to the AIRhub App.

For instructions on how to
connect your Bluetooth power
meter to the AIRhub App
please see ‘6.2 Pairing your
Bluetooth Power Meter’ on

Please see point 6.3 on pages
14 and 16 for step by step
instructions on how to con gure
the Viiiiva Bluetooth bridge to
your Android or Apple iOS
Smartphone, which will allow
you to pair your power meter.

This mode is best used when a specic

amount of watts want to be held during
a training session. This mode is useful
over consistent terrain where wattage
doesn’t change frequently or during
efforts where a certain power needs to
be sustained.

page 13.

Non-Bluetooth power meters must be
connected to the AIRhub App via a
Bluetooth bridge. The Viiiva Heart Rate
Monitor (included) acts as a Bluetooth

bridge. This must rst be congured via

the Viiiiva App before a Non-Bluetooth
power meter can be paired. You will only

need to congure the Viiiiva HR Strap as

a Bluetooth bridge once.

7.2.3. Target Heart Rate Mode

Using both Bluetooth and ANT+ the
Viiiiva Heart Rate Monitor communicates
with the Smartphone App and the
AIRhub to give real time resistance
adjustments. Applied resistance, heart
rate and other data will be shown on the
AIRhub app home screen.

This mode is most useful during
workouts over undulating terrain or

bunch rides where a specic resistance

or consistent Wattage may be hard to
maintain.

This mode also works well when riding
with a training partner of a different

second to give you the most accurate
control of your heart rate.

The further you are from your target
heart rate the faster the resistance will
change to get you back to your set

ability as it can keep you in your desired
training zone while riding at a slower
speed.

(Session example, see page 24)

7. USING THE AIRHUB CONTD.

7.2.4. CdA Mode

The resistance in this mode can
be likened to air drag, and applies
resistance proportional to speed. This
mode has settings from 0.00 (“off”) to

0.20 (“very hard”). Out on the road the
faster you go the more resistance is
applied. When you slow down, eg. for a
climb, the resistance will back itself off.

This mode is great for applying

additional resistance without sacricing

ride feel. This mode works well
when riding with a partner and the
performance difference is known. This
will let power requirements update over
undulating terrain (Manual Wattage
Mode will still apply up to 100w even on

7.2.5. Watts per km/h Mode.

Using this mode you’re able to add
0 to 2 watts of resistance (in 0.1 watt
increments) for every km/h of speed.

This mode is best used for general
riding as it simulates a constant, slight
incline on every road you ride on. The
incline steepens the closer you are to 2
watts per km/h.

For example, if you’re riding at 25km/h
and you’ve chosen 2 watts per km/h of
resistance, your total resistance applied
at that speed will be 50 watts. If you only
chose 1 watt per km/h for this speed
the AIRhub would apply 25 watts of
resistance.

8. THERMAL MANAGEMENT

The AIRhub dissipates your energy through heat. The AIRhub has multiple
temperature sensors that monitor the internal conditions and modify the resistance
accordingly.

8.1. The maximum temperature of
the resistance mechanisms is limited
to 110 degrees C. When temperature
approaches this level it will begin to
reduce the applied power to keep
the temperature within operating
requirements.

8.2. During extreme weather the
thermal dissipation of the AIRhub can
be impaired. In temperatures exceeding
40 degrees C and in high humidity,
20 minutes of riding at 100W can be
enough to raise the core temperature
to over 100 degrees C. In this situation
the device will automatically adjust to

8.3. During high heat loads a small
amount of heat may be transferred to
the front forks. Carbon has great heat
dissipating properties and will assist in
cooling.

NB: Never use cheap quality forks. It is
not recommended that the AIRhub be
used with low quality bicycles.

handshake connection. Once an AIRhub
is paired to a phone it will become
invisible and no one can connect to it.
If for some reason someone is able to

you must rst forget the current one in

the settings page. The App will then
search and display all available AIRhubs.
The same goes for Bluetooth heart rate
monitors.

I WANT TO BUILD MY OWN

TRAINING APP AND USE THE
AIRHUB TO DOMINATE THE WORLD.

Sure, we love world domination plans.
Please email us for the SDK.

CAN I BUILD IT INTO MY OWN RIM?

Yes. Most quality wheel builders will be
able to do this for you. Please contact us
for more information.

connect to your AIRhub before you do,

you won’t be able to nd it when you

start the App. If this happens you need

to nd the paired phone and disconnect

it before you will be able to pair.

WILL MY AIRHUB AUTOMATICALLY
CONNECT TO MY PHONE?

The App will remember the last AIRhub

it connected to and always try to nd
it. If you want to nd another AIRhub

11. SAFE USE

11.1. The AIRhub has been Road and Rig tested up to speeds of 700RPM (88km/h).
We do not recommend using the wheel in scenarios where this speed can be
exceeded.

REMEMBER: If you have previously paired

with a different AIRhub you must rst ‘Forget’
the old device in the application settings
before attempting to connect a new AIRhub.
