being used only ANT+
with Bluetooth Smart monitors allowing connec-
tion with monitors by both protocols.
The maximum simulatable slope on the Rampa 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%].
The power the Rampa roller enables simulation of
the majority of courses.
Power range
The power range covered by the roller is very
wide and depends on the speed. The faster you
pedal, the wider the power range. Nevertheless
there may be extreme conditions where the
required power is outside of the range (too high
or too low). In these cases the roller delivers
the maximum/minimum possible, and resumes
working correctly as soon as the conditions return
to being compatible with the power deliverable by
the Rampa. When the required power is outside
the available power range, the roller displays on
the video the actual power it is producing and not
the theoretical power.
Accuracy between power on the screen and
resistance generated.
Regarding the system for measuring the power,
it should be pointed out that the Rampa is not an
ergometer* and therefore does not measure the
power generated by the rider, but the calculates it
indirectly using mathematical formulas.
Also, there are several variables not known by
the programme (for example: type of tyre, tyre
width, pressure between tyre and small rollers,
temperature, etc.), which have an affect on the
power generated by the system.
Per these two reasons, the accuracy of the value
displayed is variable and cannot be known priori.
However, it is possible to carry out a calibration
procedure with your own bicycle, if you have an
ergometer*. In being done with your own bicycle,
this procedure enables greater precision and

CADENCE SENSOR

Rampa roller does not use a sensor for measuring
the cadence.
This is possible thanks to a sophisticated
calculation based on the speed. Since this is
not a direct measurement, but the result of a
calculation, in particular situations the cadence
value may not be accurate.
For a more accurate cadence measurement,
use a wired sensor connected directly to the
hometrainer. There is a connector on the
resistance unit for this purpose.
Please contact ELITE for additional information
concerning the purchase of a wired sensor.
Alternatively, if a cadence compatible apps
/ software / device is being used, a wireless
cadence sensor can be connected directly to the
app / software / device.

NOTE

The presence of high-voltage electric lines,
traffic lights, electric railway lines, bus or tram
electric lines, television sets, automobiles,
cycle computers, gym equipment and mobile
phones inside the operating range of the unit,
etc., can be the cause of interference. Therefore
the use of other wireless receivers may alter or
completely inhibit operation of the unit due to
such interference.
Do not expose the unit and the unit to direct
sunlight for long periods when they are not in use.
Check the position and assembly conditions of the
frequency sensor and magnet at regular intervals.
