Steps prior to taking the AIRhub out on the road.

Step 1: Download smartphone Application from Apple App Store or

Google Play Store - AIRhub by Terrain Dynamics

Step 2: Remove AIRhub from box and t with tyre and tube.

To maintain a high quality ride feel, use a good quality tyre and tube.

Step 3: Place AIRhub in front forks and tighten skewer.

Ensure red arrows are pointing forward. (See image below)

4. USING THE AIRHUB SMARTPHONE APPLICATION

4.1. Training application

Green = Heart Rate Strap Connected

Grey = Searching for Heart Rate Monitor or Poor connection

Red = No Heart Rate Strap Connected

Red = No AIRhub detected or connected

Grey = Signal sent to AIRhub

Green = Signal received from AIRhub. AIRhub connected.

To save power on your smartphone try these ideas: reduce brightness,

activate lock screen while running app in the background and/or use

aeroplane mode with Bluetooth activated.

4.2. Device Compatibility

The AIRhub Smartphone App is currently compatible with Apple iOS and

Android devices.

The Viiiiva Heart Rate Monitor broadcasts both Bluetooth Light protocol

(BLE) and ANT+ signals, allowing heart rate data to be collected

simultaneously by your phone and other recording devices; SRM, Garmin

etc.

The AIRhub uses BLE to transmit data. BLE protocol uses power similar

to that of the super low power wireless protocol ANT+ and will not drain

your battery like other Bluetooth devices.

5. SETTING UP THE AIRHUB

5.1. Connection and resistance parameters

The AIRhub requires a minimum speed of 15km/h before data is transmitted

to the Smartphone App and pairing can occur.

No resistance is applied below 15km/h.

Maximum speed where resistance can be applied is 50km/h.

When resistance is applied a light tapping is felt. This is normal and indicates

the AIRhub is working.

Once a command is sent, resistance will be continuously applied – even

while the Application is closed/in the background.

To stop resistance a Pause command must be sent by using the “Pause”

button on the home screen.

The device will stay active whilst stationary for up to 2 mins.

5.2. Pairing the AIRhub to AIRhub App

NB# For the AIRhub to be recognised

by the application a minimum speed of

15km/h must be met.

We recommend undertaking

the pairing of your device on a

quiet street or bike path.

Step 1: Open AIRhub Application.

Step 2: Begin riding and reach a speed

of 15km/h or above. Wait for the

smartphone to recognise the

AIRhub. This will appear as a

4-digit number at the bottom of

the screen (eg. LE 001C).

Step 3: Select recognised AIRhub. The

device will now begin

transmitting data.

It may take up to 30 seconds for

data to appear on App after

pairing.

Step 4: Radio symbol in top left

hand corner will turn green when

AIRhub is successfully paired.

If after these steps the AIRhub will not pair or data is

not being transmitted, please see troubleshooting

page (Page 25) for further information.

7. USING THE AIRHUB

7.1. Selecting an Operating mode

The AIRhub comes with the choice of

ve modes to add resistance to your

ride in various ways:

Manual Wattage Mode

Apply 0-100 additional watts.

Power Meter Mode

Pair your Power Meter and

choose a power output to work

at.

Target Heart Rate Mode

Choose a Heart Rate to work at.

CdA Mode

Apply resistance to mimic wind

drag.

Watts per km/h Mode

Increase resistance by 0 - 2

Watts for every km/h increase in

speed.

See 7.2 for detailed information on each

operating mode.

To select a particular mode, choose the

specied button on the home screen of

the application.

Use the slider or ne control buttons +/-

to select your desired resistance setting.

Once your AIRhub and accessories are paired and you are ready to begin your

training session, select an Operating mode to set your resistance.

www.terraindynamics.com.au

Page 19

TM

7.2. Applying resistance using

different Operating modes

Once an Operating mode has been

chosen, and a minimum speed of

20km/h has been met, the AIRhub will

begin to apply resistance.

When resistance is applied a

light tapping is felt. This is

normal and indicates the

AIRhub is working.

NB#: Once a command is set,

resistance will be continuously

applied – even while the

Application is closed/in the

background.

To stop resistance a Pause

command must be sent by

using the “Pause” button on the

home screen.

Resistance will turn off when

speed slows below 15km/h. This

will not inhibit riding below

15km/h.

The device will stay active whilst

stationary for up to 2 mins.

7.2.1. Manual Wattage Mode

Using this mode, you can select

an extra resistance from 0 to 100

additional watts. It allows for the

manual application of large amounts of

resistance from 15km/h to 45km/h.

This mode is usually chosen when

maximum resistance is required, such

as high intensity efforts or strength

endurance efforts, or when the specic

increase in resistance needed is known.

(Session example, see page 24)

Page 20

info@terraindynamics.com.au

7. USING THE AIRHUB CONTD.

7.2.2. Power Meter Mode

This mode allows you to receive power

data to your smartphone and use it via

the AIRhub App to hold a power output

that you choose.

In order to use this mode your Power

Meter must connect to your smartphone

via Bluetooth. Power meters with

Bluetooth capability will be able to

connect directly to the AIRhub App.

For instructions on how to

connect your Bluetooth power

meter to the AIRhub App

please see ‘6.2 Pairing your

Bluetooth Power Meter’ on

page 13.

Non-Bluetooth power meters must be

connected to the AIRhub App via a

Bluetooth bridge. The Viiiva Heart Rate

Monitor (included) acts as a Bluetooth

bridge. This must rst be congured via

the Viiiiva App before a Non-Bluetooth

power meter can be paired. You will only

need to congure the Viiiiva HR Strap as

a Bluetooth bridge once.

Please see point 6.3 on pages

14 and 16 for step by step

instructions on how to con gure

the Viiiiva Bluetooth bridge to

your Android or Apple iOS

Smartphone, which will allow

you to pair your power meter.

This mode is best used when a specic

amount of watts want to be held during

a training session. This mode is useful

over consistent terrain where wattage

doesn’t change frequently or during

efforts where a certain power needs to

be sustained.
