INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Elite RealAxiom cycling simulator.

Elite RealAxiom is an electronic device for indoor training and tests; it interfaces with a PC (Windows) by means of a console fitted to the handlebar of your bike.

Elite RealAxiom allows you to view real-life courses while training which will run at the same speed you are running on your trainer offering a highly realistic on-road simulation. Elite RealAxiom allows you to programme any kind of route. The software automatically adjusts resistance depending on gradient, speed and weight and indicates heart rate, power, speed, height, pedalling frequency, distance, time and other important information.

Elite RealAxiom allows you to save all racing and test results for future analysis and print the relative reports.

Please read this manual with care in order to become perfectly familiar with the product and how it works.

SOFTWARE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual does not give any instructions regarding use of the programme. A complete guide to using the programme is given in the programme Help.

To access the Help guide it is necessary to install the programme. The instructions for installing the programme are given in the section “Use of RealAxiom with the computer – Programme installation”.

After installing the programme, the Help guide can be accessed in two different ways:

press button F1 on the keyboard;

select “Help – Help Contents” from the programme menu.

HEART RATE MONITOR

Elite RealAxiom incorporates a receiver for chest-band heart rate monitors. This allows it to measure your heart rate while training and

visualise it on the monitor. The heart rate monitor is not supplied with the product.

Elite RealAxiom’s heart rate monitor receiver is compatible with all “standard” transmitters, i.e., those featuring 5 KHz transmission frequencies. Some coded transmitters (i.e. Polar) may not be compatible with our receiver.

WARNING: integrated wireless systems that measure cadence and speed, in addition to heart rate, may interfere with the heart rate readings of RealAxiom. In order to avoid this, remove the sensor form the crank.

SLOPE

The maximum simulatable slope on the RealAxiom is a function of speed and the weight of the individual rider. In fact, the power required to pedal up a slope is function of the speed (faster

=more power) and of the weight (the heavier the rider, the more power is required to climb any given slope). Each rider has a maximum slope given his weight [i.e., for a 60kg (130lbs) cyclist at 24Km/h (15mph) the maximum simulatable slope is about 10%.]

So, if the rider is already riding at his maximum power, and the slope increases, the actual the resistance won’t increase, even though the steeper slope is indicated on the screen.
