Chapter 1: Starting Out Chapter 1: Starting Out Compatibility Joule 2.0 is compatible with any ANT+ compatible power meter, speed sensor, cadence sensor or heart rate strap. For more information on ANT+ compatible devices, please visit www.thisisant.com. Note: Joule 2.0 is not compatible with combination speed/cadence sensors, wired version of PowerTap and non-ANT+ PowerTap models such as the SL 2.4. Installing CycleOps Joule™ 2.
Chapter 1: Starting Out Chapter 1: Starting Out Installing CycleOps Joule™ 2.0 Using Standard Mount For handlebar orientation, change the standard mount from the preassembled stem orientation. CycleOps (ANT+) Heart Rate Strap Wearing the heart rate strap, position it above torso as pictured. The strap should rest just beneath the pectoralis muscles of the chest. For best results slightly moisten the electrodes where contact is made with skin.
Chapter 1: Starting Out Chapter 1: Starting Out Charging Battery The Joule 2.0 is powered by a user replaceable lithium-ion battery that can be recharged using the included USB cable and a computer. A 5VDC 400mA charger can also be used (not included). A fully charged battery can run for approximately 20 hours before it must be recharged. Recharging completely, via USB cable or AC adapter will take approximately six hours. The battery level is indicated in the title bar. The Joule 2.

Chapter 1: Starting Out Chapter 1: Starting Out Data File Management Joule 2.0 saves three types of files into memory, activities, workouts and history. Activities files contain second by second ride data for analysis by PC or Mac on software such as CycleOps PowerAgent. History files contain summary data only and are used by Joule 2.0 for calculating averages, maximums and totals for Reports. Workout files are created in PowerAgent and sent to Joule 2.0.
Chapter 1: Starting Out Chapter 1: Starting Out Pausing, Saving and/or Deleting a Ride Stopping and saving a ride creates a history file. History files are used for calculating averages, maximums and totals for Reports. Pausing, Saving and/or Deleting a Ride A ride may be deleted at any time. If a ride is deleted no history file is created. Menu Dashboard WA S WATT W/KG W/ MPH H C CAD 407 5.2 27.4 98 37.

Chapter 2: Dashboard Mode Chapter 2: Dashboard Mode Using Dashboard Mode Dashboard mode shows current ride data. It displays six metrics, out of a choice of eighteen, that can be easily customized. The detailed view shows additional metrics related to the selected metric in the dashboard. Dashboard Categories Each dashboard category is made up of three metrics. There are twelve available dashboard categories. Press and hold [JOYSTICK] to change the metric category displayed in the dashboard.
Chapter 2: Intervals Chapter 3: Reports Mode Intervals Intervals may be viewed from activities mode or dashboard mode. Intervals are useful for viewing ride data specific to a section of your ride such as a hill or other period of high intensity riding. Using Reports Mode Joule 2.0 has four modes of operation: dashboard, reports, activities and menu indicated by the title bar. Note: after the mode is displayed in the title bar for five seconds, the time of day will be displayed.
Chapter 3: Reports Mode Chapter 3: Reports Mode Using Reports Mode Joule 2.0 provides eight reports with an easy comparison of the current ride and historical averages so information can be seen in context. Each report contains three columns; the first column is the metric label, the second column is the data for a given metric on the current ride, the third column is the average of all rides completed over the selected date range. Note: the highlighted metrics represents the higher of the two metrics.

A common unit used to express effort or intensity amongst cyclists. Note: Average calculation may or may not include zeros (time spent coasting or with no power) depending on Joule’s set up. By default, zeros are included. For 2 WK, 4 WK rolling averages a time weighted average over the selectable time period is used.
Chapter 4: Reports Mode Chapter 4: Reports Mode Report Definitions Time in Zones Report Report Definitions Time in Zones Report...continued Training Zones 1. Discrete bins or intervals specific to a particular energy or physiological system. From short maximal efforts to long maximal efforts these energy systems run along a continuum from anaerobic to aerobic metabolic pathways. Common reference points for this continuum include the power at lactate threshold and power at VO2 max.

Chapter 5: Workouts Chapter 5: Workouts Using Workouts Joule 2.0 offers two types of workouts, manual and saved, each managed in the Activities Mode. Manual workouts may only be performed with a CycleOps 400 Pro indoor cycle or PowerBeam Pro trainer. Saved workotus are created using PowerAgent software and transferred to Joule 2.0 Both workout types are helpful for making sure a specific workout plan is followed by displaying the workout in a series of segments with target intenisty and rest indicated.

Chapter 5: Workouts Chapter 5: Workouts Using Manual Workouts with CycleOps PowerBeam Pro Trainer...continued Using Saved Workouts with CycleOps 400 Pro Indoor Cycle Workouts may be created in PowerAgent software and saved to Joule for use on the 400 Pro indoor cycle. The advantage of saved workouts over manual workouts is that the resistance will change automatically based on the saved time or distance of each segment. This is helpful for duplicating a specific course you are training for.

Chapter 6: Sensors Chapter 6: Sensors Setting Up Power Sensors Joule 2.0 is compatible with many ANT+ sensors, each having a unique code. A sensor is defined as any ANT + compatible power meter, cadence sensor, speed sensor, heart rate strap and CycleOps resistance unit. Joule 2.0 needs to be paired to each sensor to ensure proper functionality. Common CycleOps power sensors include the PowerTap hub, 300 Pro and 400 Pro indoor cycles. Once set up, sensors can be managed using PowerAgent software.
Chapter 6: Sensors Chapter 6: Sensors Power Sensor Manual Zero Like a kitchen scale, it is possible for power sensors to incur an offset that needs to be zeroed. This can happen due to large temperature changes which effect the material the power sensors are attached to and often results in power being displayed even while coasting.
Chapter 6: Sensors Setting Up Speed Sensors Joule 2.0 is compatible with ANT+ speed sensors, each having a unique code. Joule 2.0 needs to be paired to each sensor to ensure proper functionality.
