3. Setup and Installation

The Assioma PRO MX-1 pedals are designed for easy installation and can be swapped between bikes without special tools. Follow these steps for proper setup:

3.1 Pedal Installation

1. Ensure your crank arms are clean and free of debris.
2. Identify the left and right pedals. The Assioma PRO MX-1 is a single-sensing unit, meaning the power sensor is on the left pedal only.
3. Apply a small amount of grease to the pedal threads.
4. Thread the pedals into the crank arms. The left pedal threads counter-clockwise, and the right pedal threads clockwise.
5. Tighten the pedals securely using an appropriate pedal wrench. Refer to your bike's crank arm manufacturer specifications for torque values.

3.2 Cleat Installation

The included cleats are SPD-compatible. You can also use original Shimano SM-SH51 cleats.

1. Attach the cleats to your cycling shoes using the provided screws and washers.
2. Adjust the cleat position for comfort and efficient pedaling. Typically, the cleat should be centered under the ball of your foot.
3. Tighten the cleat screws firmly.

4. Operating the Power Meter

The Assioma PRO MX-1 connects wirelessly to display devices to provide real-time power data.

4.1 Pairing with Devices

The power meter supports both Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity.

1. Wake up the pedals by rotating the cranks a few times.
2. On your bike computer, GPS unit, or smartphone, navigate to the sensor pairing menu.
3. Select "Add Sensor" or "Pair Device" and choose the Assioma PRO MX-1 from the list of available sensors.
4. Confirm the pairing. The device should now display power data.

4.2 Understanding Power Data

The Assioma PRO MX-1 provides highly accurate power data with a ±1% accuracy. Key metrics include:

• Power (Watts): The instantaneous power output.
• Cadence (RPM): Your pedaling revolutions per minute.
• L/R Balance: While the MX-1 is single-sensing, it can estimate balance based on advanced algorithms.
• Platform Center Offset (PCO): Indicates how centrally force is applied on the pedal.
• Power Phase (PP): Shows the angle at which power is generated during the pedal stroke.
• Pedal Smoothness (PS): Measures the consistency of power application throughout the pedal stroke.
• Torque Effectiveness (TE): Quantifies how much of the applied torque contributes to forward motion.
• Rider Position: Detects if you are seated or standing.

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Assioma PRO MX-1 power meter.

5.1 Charging the Battery

The pedals feature integrated rechargeable batteries, providing over 60 hours of operational use on a single charge.

• Connect the magnetic charging connector to the charging port on the pedal spindle.
• Connect the USB Type-C cable to the magnetic connector and a USB power source.
• The LED indicator on the pedal will show charging status (refer to the Favero app for detailed battery levels).

5.2 Cleaning and Care
