Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Generic Replacement Monitor Speedometer, model TS JP040. This LCD monitor is designed for stationary bikes and provides essential workout data including time, speed, distance, calories, odometer, and optional heart rate tracking. Please read this manual thoroughly before use to ensure proper functionality and longevity of your device.
Product Overview
Figure 1: Front view of the monitor, displaying the LCD screen and the mode button. The screen shows "0.00 KM" and indicators for DST, SPD, CAL, ODO, PULSE, TIME, and SCAN.
Figure 2: Rear view of the monitor, highlighting the 3.5mm female jacks for speedometer (sensor) and pulse (heart rates) connections. Also visible are the mounting points for bolts or an inserted holder.
The monitor features a clear LCD display for easy readability of your workout metrics. It is equipped with two 3.5mm female jacks on the back for connecting to your stationary bike's speedometer and optional heart rate sensors. A single button on the front allows for easy navigation through different display modes and settings.
Setup and Installation
1. Battery Installation
The monitor requires two (2) AAA batteries (not included). To install:
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the monitor.
- Slide open the battery cover.
- Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery cover securely.

2. Connecting to Your Bike
This monitor is compatible with most stationary bikes that use "headphone jack" look connections (3.5mm male plug cables) for speedometer and pulse tracking. Ensure your bike has these types of connections.
- Speedometer Connection: Connect the speedometer cable from your bike to the "Sensor (speedometer)" 3.5mm female jack on the back of the monitor.
- Heart Rate Connection (Optional): If your bike has pulse sensors (typically two metal pieces on handlebars), connect the pulse cable to the "Pulse (heart rates)" 3.5mm female jack. Note: Re-wiring MIGHT be required for some particular models if the bike uses JST SM 2-PIN connectors instead of 3.5mm jacks.

3. Mounting the Monitor
The monitor can be mounted using two bolts or through an inserted holder (not included).
- Mounting Method A (Bolts): Secure the monitor to your bike's console using two appropriate bolts through the designated holes on the back.
- Mounting Method B (Holder): If your bike has a compatible slot, insert the monitor into a suitable holder.

Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
- The system turns on automatically when any key is pressed or when it receives an input signal from the speed sensor.
- The system turns off automatically when the sensor has no signal input or no key is pressed for approximately 4 minutes.
Mode Selection and Reset
The monitor features a single "MODE" button for navigation and reset functions.
- Mode Selection: Press the MODE button repeatedly to cycle through the display functions: TIME, SPEED, DISTANCE, ODOMETER, PULSE, CALORIES, and SCAN. The pointer on the display will indicate the currently selected function.
- SCAN Mode: In SCAN mode, the display will automatically cycle through all functions every few seconds. To exit SCAN mode, press the MODE button until the pointer advances to a specific function you wish to view continuously.
- Reset: To reset all values (except Odometer), press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds. This will clear current workout data.
Function Descriptions
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| TIME | Displays the duration of your current workout (0:00-99:59 MM:SS). |
| SPEED (SPD) | Shows your current speed (0.0-99.9 KM/H or ML/H). Indicators are displayed in Miles. |
| DISTANCE (DST) | Tracks the distance covered in your current workout (0.00-999.9 KM or ML). |
| ODOMETER (ODO) | Displays the total accumulated distance (0-9999 KM or ML). This value is not reset. |
| PULSE | Shows your current heart rate in beats per minute (40-240 BPM). Requires a connected pulse sensor. To measure, place palms on the bike's metal pieces or use an ear clip sensor for 30 seconds for accurate reading. |
| CALORIES (CAL) | Estimates the calories burned during your workout (0.0-9999 KCAL). |
| SCAN | Automatically cycles through TIME, SPEED, DISTANCE, PULSE, and CALORIES displays. |
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the monitor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the display becomes dim or unresponsive. Ensure correct polarity during installation.
- Storage: Store the monitor in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display or dim display | Dead or low batteries; incorrect battery installation. | Replace batteries with new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. |
| No speed/distance reading | Speed sensor cable not connected or faulty; sensor not properly aligned. | Check the connection of the speedometer cable to the monitor's "Sensor" jack. Ensure the bike's speed sensor is correctly installed and functioning. |
| No heart rate reading | Pulse sensor cable not connected or faulty; bike lacks pulse sensors; re-wiring needed. | Verify the pulse cable connection to the monitor's "Pulse" jack. Confirm your bike has functional pulse sensors. If your bike uses JST SM 2-PIN connectors, re-wiring may be necessary. |
| Monitor does not turn off | Continuous signal input; stuck button. | Ensure no activity is detected by the speed sensor. Check if the MODE button is stuck. The monitor should turn off automatically after 4 minutes of inactivity. |
