The dock can be used to charge one or two pods 11 at the same time, and they can be inserted on either side. Insert the pods 11 by twisting them clockwise. 11 11 12 The indicators at the front of the dock 12 have the following meanings:
Blue:
The dock has power. Yellow: The pod on that side is Green: The pod on that side is charging. charged. 12 It takes up to 2 hours to recharge a pod from empty. A fully charged battery gives up to 15 hours of use. If the pods blue LED remains on when it is removed from the dock, briefly press the bump on top of the pod to turn it off. Check the pod battery state Check the battery state of a pod by briefly pressing on the bump on top of the pod to turn it on. You can do this at any time whether the pod is inserted into a base unit on your shoe or not. If the pod is in a base when you turn it on it will give a blue flash followed by up to 5 short blue flashes. If the pod is not in a base it will give a red flash followed by up to 5 short blue flashes. The blue flashes indicate the operation time remaining. 5 flashes: 10 to 15 hours. 4 flashes: 6 to 10 hours. 3 flashes: 2 to 6 hours. 2 flashes: Up to 2 hours. 13 Fit the pods and turn them on 1. Fit each pod 11 into the base unit 1 on top of a shoe. Twist it clockwise until it clicks fully into position. If you have the Zone DPMX Dual you can put either pod on either shoe. 2. Turn on each pod 11 by pressing the bump on the top briefly. If everything is ok you will see a single blue flash in the pod, followed by a sequence of short blue flashes to indicate the state of the battery. Then there will be a blue flash every 2 seconds to let you know it is turned on. 3. If you turn on the pod and you see a red flash, it means that the pod is not properly inserted into the base unit and it will refuse to operate. Remove the pod from the base unit, re-insert it and try to turn it on again. 4. You can turn the pod off at any time by briefly pressing the bump on top again. It will give one red flash to indicate it is turning off. 14 Calibrate the shoe position Before your first use of the Zone DPMX power meter you should calibrate its position on your shoes. If you do not do this the power meter may not measure accurately. Repeat this calibration if the power meter is moved to a new pair of shoes, or if the angle or position of the base unit on your shoe changes. If you have a Zone DPMX Dual this calibration procedure must be done separately for both shoes. 1. Insert the pod 11 into the base 1 and turn it on. 2. Place the shoe on a table or any horizontal flat surface and hold the shoe so that the Speedplay 15 cleat is flat on the surface. In this position the heel of your shoe will be up off the surface. 3. Hold the shoe still and tap sharply 3 times with the tip your finger on the top of the pod 11 to tell it to calibrate itself. If the calibration is successful you will see 3 quick blue flashes. No flashes or 3 red flashes indicates that the calibration was not successful. Possible reasons for unsuccessful calibration include:
The shoe was moving too much during the 3 taps. It must be held still before and during the 3 taps. The 3 taps were not sharp enough. Try using a hard tap with the tip of a fingernail. Its ok for the pod to move slightly when you tap it. The 3 taps were too slow. They should be completed within about 1 seconds. 16 The 3 taps were too fast. They should take longer than about a of a second. Pair the power meter with your ANT+ display This only needs to be done once for each ANT+ display that you want to use. 1. Take note of the ANT+ ID number on the label on the bottom of your pods 11 . 2. Insert the pods into the base units 1 on your shoes and turn them on. 3. Ensure your shoes (with pods) are within 3 metres (10 feet) of your ANT+ display, and that there is no other ANT+ power meter within 20 metres (65 feet). 4. Use the power meter pairing function on your ANT+ display device. Your display device may allow you to check or to enter the ANT+ ID number of the power meter. 17 Set crank length You must tell your Zone DPMX power meter what crank length you are using. When your Zone DPMX leaves the factory it is configured for crank length 172.5 mm. There are two ways to check and set the crank length. You can use the Zone Controller software on a PC, or you can use the ANT+ crank length feature if your ANT+ display device supports it. To check and set the crank length using Zone controller follow these steps:
1. Download the Zone Controller software from www.brimbrothers.com/support/
and install it on your PC. 2. Connect your charging dock 12 to a USB port on your PC, and insert the pods 11 into the charging dock. 3. Run Controller software on your PC. Select the configuration function, and Zone the 18 follow the instructions to tell the pods what crank length you are using. To check and set the crank length using your ANT+ display device follow these steps:
1. Insert your pods 11 into the bases 1 and turn them on. 2. Turn on your ANT+ display device, and make sure it is paired with your Zone DPMX power meter. 3. On your ANT+ display device, use the functions for checking and setting crank length on a power meter. Read the instructions for the device to discover how to do that. note: Not all ANT+ devices that can receive from power meters also support setting crank length. eacH uSe Before each use 1. Check the battery state in each pod 11 . Charge them if required. 19 2. Set the crank length stored in the pods 11 if it is not correct already. 3. Insert the pods 11 into the base units 1 on your shoes, and make sure they are secure. If you have a Zone DPMX Dual the pods are identical, so either of them can go on either shoe. 4. Briefly press the bump on top of each pod 11 to switch it on. If everything is OK it will give a single blue flash, followed by up to 5 short blue flashes to indicate battery state. A red flash followed by up to 5 blue flashes and another red flash means that the pod is not correctly inserted in the base unit. Remove the pod from the base unit and reinsert it. A red flash and then nothing means that the pods battery is too low to operate. You must recharge it before using. 5. Turn on your ANT+ display and check that it is receiving the 20 power and cadence values from your Zone DPMX power meter. the total power, During use Click in and out of your Speedplay pedals as normal. The power meter will continuously transmit the left/right power balance
(Zone DPMX Dual only), cadence, pedal smoothness and torque effectiveness to your ANT+ display. Some ANT+
display devices may not be capable of receiving all of these types of data. During normal operation the pod will give a single blue flash every 2 seconds. If the battery in either of the pods has less than 2 hours remaining it will give a double blue flash every 2 seconds, and it will transmit a low battery message to your ANT+
display device. If the battery in either of the pods becomes fully discharged the pod will switch off automatically. 21 If a pod detects no forward pedalling for 60 minutes, or if it detects no movement at all for 10 minutes, it will automatically turn off. Walking on normal hard surfaces on your cleats will not damage the Zone DPMX sensor plates. After use Turn off each pod 11 by pressing briefly on the bump on the top. Each pod will give a red flash before turning off. conFiGuration and FirmWare uPdateS You can configure your Zone DPMX power meter and you can update the firmware in it by installing and using the Zone Controller software application on your PC.
