THE SENSORS ON THE ROX
Wide range of functions
The sensors on the ROX measure a large amount of information. This includes the following areas:
Speed
The digitally coded speed transmitter is used to measure the wheel revolutions and determine all the relevant speed functions. The transmitter is suitable both for use on Bike 1 or Bike 2. The cyclist can switch between Bike 1 and Bike 2 by pressing the button on the back of the transmitter.
Cadence
The digitally coded cadence transmitter measures the current cadence. This value is used to calculate all of the other cadence functions, such as the average or maximum cadence.
Heart rate
The ECG-accurate, digitally coded R1 soft cloth chest belt provides superior comfort and a perfect fit. With the laminated electrodes, slight dampening is adequate for reliable heart rate measurement.
The current heart rate measurement can be used to calculate other functions such as the average and maximum heart rate. The values are also used to calculate the number of calories burned and the heart rate distribution in the 3 preset HR zones during the ride.
Altitude
The altitude measurement is based on a barometric air pressure sensor. The day's climb, and the maximum day's altitude are recorded and shown separately in uphill and downhill.
Incline
The incline percentage is calculated from the measured change in distance and altitude.
Rate of ascent
The rate of ascent is a calculation that shows the vertical current climbing speed in feet (or meters) per minute. This value can be used to determine the amount of time necessary to reach the summit of a climb.
Temperature
The temperature sensor shows the current, minimum and maximum temperature. The details can be accessed in the ROX under trip data/ temperature.
