3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully unpack all components. Verify that all parts listed in the Quick Start Guide are present and undamaged. The package includes the Power Meter Cycling unit, Bilateral Crank, and Quick Start Guide.

3.2 Installation

The Magene PES P505/P515 crankset comes pre-assembled for ease of installation. It features a 24mm steel spindle, ensuring wide compatibility with most standard road bike bottom brackets (68mm-86.5mm). Shimano users can typically install it directly without replacing their existing bottom bracket.

Follow these general steps for installation:

1. Ensure your bike's bottom bracket is clean and compatible with a 24mm spindle.
2. Carefully insert the crankset spindle through the bottom bracket.
3. Attach the non-drive side crank arm, ensuring proper alignment.
4. Secure all bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. It is advisable to re-check torque after approximately 100 miles of initial use.
5. Install your chainrings (110BCD four-bolt design) and pedals.

Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the power meter unit.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 No Power Reading

• Ensure the power meter is charged.
• Verify that the power meter is properly paired with your bike computer or app.
• Perform a zero-offset calibration.
• Check for any physical damage to the unit.

6.2 Inconsistent Readings

• Perform a zero-offset calibration.
• Ensure the crankset is securely installed and all bolts are torqued correctly.
• Check for any interference from other electronic devices.

6.3 Connectivity Issues

• Ensure Bluetooth/ANT+ is enabled on your receiving device.
• Move the receiving device closer to the power meter.
• Try unpairing and re-pairing the device.
• Check for firmware updates for both the power meter and your receiving device.
