4. Mounting the Speed Sensor and Magnet
Mount the speed sensor to the front fork of your bicycle using the provided mounting material. Position it so that the sensor aligns with the wheel magnet. Attach the magnet to a spoke on your front wheel. Ensure the gap between the sensor and the magnet is approximately 2-5 mm when the wheel rotates. The sensor should be positioned to detect the magnet passing by.
5. Wheel Size Setting
Accurate speed and distance readings depend on correct wheel size calibration. Refer to the table below or the user manual for predefined wheel circumference values. You can also manually enter the circumference in millimeters for precise calibration.
| Wheel Size (Inches) | Circumference (mm) |
|---|---|
| 16" | 1272 |
| 18" | 1436 |
| 20" | 1596 |
| 22" | 1759 |
| 24" | 1916 |
| 26" | 2073 |
| 27" | 2155 |
| 27.5" | 2210 |
| 28" (700C) | 2242 |
| 29" | 2326 |
To set the wheel size, press and hold the button on the bottom of the display unit until the setting mode is activated. Use short presses to cycle through digits and long presses to confirm and move to the next digit/setting.
Operating the Bicycle Computer
The SIGMA bicycle computer features a clear LCD display and a single button for easy navigation and function selection.
Display Overview
Image: The clear LCD display of the SIGMA bicycle computer, showing current speed (km/h), trip distance (km), and ride time (H).
The 1.9-inch LCD display simultaneously shows key cycling data, including:
- Current Speed: Displayed prominently in km/h or mph (selectable).
- Trip Distance: The distance covered during the current ride.
- Ride Time: The duration of the current ride.
- Note: The device is designed to show all primary data without requiring constant switching.
Button Functions
The single button located on the bottom of the display unit controls all functions:
- Short Press: Cycles through available display modes or confirms selections in setting menus.
- Long Press: Enters or exits setting modes, resets trip data, or confirms advanced settings.
To reset trip data (distance and time), ensure the device is in the main display mode, then press and hold the button until the values reset to zero.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your SIGMA Bicycle Computer.
Cleaning
Wipe the display unit and sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic and electronic components. The device is designed to be water-resistant for typical cycling conditions, but avoid submerging it in water.
Battery Replacement
The display unit uses a CR2032 battery with an approximate life of 2 years. When the display becomes dim or erratic, it's time to replace the battery. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Setup and Installation" section. Dispose of old batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your bicycle computer, refer to the common problems and solutions below.
- No Speed/Distance Reading:
- Check the alignment and gap (2-5 mm) between the speed sensor and the wheel magnet.
- Ensure the magnet is securely attached to the spoke.
- Verify the battery in the display unit is correctly installed and has sufficient charge.
- Confirm the wheel size setting is correct.
- Inaccurate Readings:
- Re-check the wheel size setting for accuracy. Even a small error can lead to significant discrepancies over distance.
- Ensure the sensor and magnet are not loose or shifting during rides.
- Display Not Working:
- Check the battery. Replace if necessary.
- Ensure the display unit is properly seated in its mounting bracket.
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact SIGMA customer support.
