04_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 Drivo II. When the required power is
outside the available power range, the roller displays on
the monitor the actual power it is producing and not the
theoretical power
.

05_SLOPE

The maximum simulatable slope on the Drivo II 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).
Drivo II uses a magnetic braking system that acts directly
on a moving metallic disc to gradually and uniformly
adjust resistance. This technology allows for very accurate
changes in slope, even when small, by taking into account
the inertia experienced when riding on the road. Both
increases and decreases in resistance adjustment are
thereby gradual. This system also ensures that pedals will
not lock-up, which could have occured at exceedingly high
power outputs.

06_POWER MEASUREMENT

Drivo II features an integrated power measurement system.
This patented system measures with great accuracy the
power developed by the cyclist during training.
Measured power accuracy: ± 0,5%.

07_DATA TRANSMISSION PROTOCOLS

Drivo II uses two different transmission protocols to interact
and send data to software / app / device.
Please contact the app / software / device manufacturer
to verify compatibility with one or more of these protocols.
ANT+
ANT+ FE-C: this protocol allows the software / app /
device to receive training data and adjust hometrainer
resistance. This protocol permits total interaction with the
hometrainer.
ANT+ Speed&Cadence*:
hometrainer speed and cadence data. Although more
common than the ANT+ FE-C, it does not allow interaction
and the app/software/device.
48
this protocol transmits
ANT+ Power: this protocol transmits the cyclist's power
output data. Also much more common than the ANT+ FE-
C, but this protocol does not allow interaction between the
hometrainer and the app/software/device.
With the exception of smartphones that feature integrated
ANT+ connectivity, a USB dongle is necessary to connect
via the ANT+ protocol. If iOS devices are used, a specific
dongle is needed (not included).
A complete list of ANT+ compatible devices is available at:

BLUETOOTH SMART
Fitness Machine - Indoor Bike service (FTMS). This
protocol sends training data to compatible software / app /
device and adjusts resistance on the hometrainer.
This protocol offers total interaction with the hometrainer.
Speed&Cadence Service*: this protocol transmits
hometrainer speed and cadence data, but does not allow
interaction between software / app / device and the
hometrainer.
Power Service: this protocol transmits the cyclist's power
output data, but will it also not allow interaction between
software / app / device and the hometrainer.
In most cases, smartphones and tablets already feature
Bluetooth Smart connectivity, so there is no need for
additional components to communicate with the Drivo
II. However, the more outdated devices might not be
compatible. Please consult your app provider to make sure
that it's Bluetooth Smart compatible.
NOTE: When the hometrainer is connected to the device
by a Bluetooth Smart protocol, it cannot be connected to
additional Bluetooth devices.
This is a restriction of the Bluetooth Smart protocol itself.
* Warning: should the software / app / device employ
the Speed&Cadence protocol to read speed data, it is
necessary to set a circumference value for the wheel that
equals the real wheel value divided by 3,4. For instance:
if the wheel circumference equals 2095mm, the value to
input as circumference equals 2095 / 3,4 = 616mm.

08_LED LIGHTS

Drivo II transmits speed, cadence and power data via the
ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart protocols.
There are 3 LED lights on the motherboard, displaying
power supply status, motherboard status and the protocol
being used.
The LED lights come in 3 colors with the following
meanings:
Red = status of hometrainer power supply
- Off = Drivo II is not receiving power or has the entered
sleep mode
- On = Drivo II is powered up.
Green = Drivo II is connected via the ANT+ protocol.
