More Information:

The innovative and unique Radar Distance System (RDS) from CICLOSPORT is the world's first device for the sporting enthusiast which enables speed, distance and pace to be acuratley measured and displayed using Doppler radar. The RDS uses a new type of patented process, manufactured by SIEMANS, based on Dopplee Radar which uses a 24GHz radar transmission to measure speed and distance precisely in all sports involving movement such as walking, cycling, running, skiing etc. The RDS is approximately 6x6x3 cm and weighs only 65gm (including the battery.) The RDS is able to work in conjunction with CICLOSPORT'S new CP41 digital heart rate monitor where the information is transmitted from the RDS to the CP41 using CICLOBlue-Eye technology. Speed is calculated by measuring the Doppler shift of the returned signal (similar to the operation of a radar speed gun). Unlike other systems which rely on a GPS signal being available (which is not always guaranteed) the RDS is reliable under all conditions.

ISPO Award Winner - in recognition of its prowess as a superb, innovative information system, the RDS won the ISPO Outdoor Award at the International Sports Expo in Germany 2002.

Warranty - the RDS, as with all CICLOSPORT products, is extremely reliable and is guaranteed for 3 years. (This does not include the battery.)

Fitting the RDS - The RDS can be either clipped on to a waistband or placed in the supplied bag (with belt loops) and fitted to a belt. The RDS is normally worn at the front of the body, but if used in conjunction with the CICLOSPORT CP41 it can be worn at the back.

Calibration - The RDS can be calibrated by running, walking or cycling 1 km and adjusting the display distance accordingly.

Speed Zones - There are 4 speed zones indicated by small bars on the right-hand side of the display as follows:

          Zone 1 : 1-12 km/h (0.6 - 7.45 mph) - Walking

          Zone 2 : 2-25 km/h (1.24-15.5 mph) - running

          Zone 3 : 4-10 km/h (2.5 - 30 mph) - Roller blading/ skating

          Zone 4 : 8-100 km/h (5 - 62 mph) - High speed/ skiing

Unit of measurement - the RDS can be set to read in km or miles.

Operating Buttons - The RDS has 3 buttons for operation:

• INFO
• ZONE
• MODE

Settings - The setting mode is selected by pressing the MODE button for 3 seconds whilst in the relevant display as follows:

• Daily and total distance reading - set from the DIST display
• Correction factor (calibration) - set from the AV display
• Units of measurement - set from the TM display
  • Unit of distance - km or miles
  • Speed or pace - kmh/mph (depending on the first selection) or min/km or min/mile.
• Clock - set from the clock display
  • 12 or 24 hour
  • Actual time

Settings are made by operating the INFO (plus) and MODE (minus) buttons.

Displays - the RDS has display as follows:

• Upper Display - Speed or pace
• Lower Display:
  • Average speed
  • Session time
  • Clock (time of day)
  • Auto Scroll displaying in turn
    • Distance
    • Average speed or pace (depending on which was selected for display)
    • Training time
    • Time of day
• Battery Level - shown in the top left corner
• Speed Zone Indicators - right hand side of display

RDS Functions

The main functions are selected by pressing the MODE button. The relevant sub-functions are selected by operating the INFO button. The RDS functions are as follows:

Current Speed - the top display shows current speed in kmh or mph (as selected) or pace (min/km or min/mile). Range of values are:

• Speed: 0-99.9 kmh (0 - 62.4 mph).
• Pace : 0:01 - 48:00 min/mi.

If  --:-- is displayed, the current speed is above 62.4 mph.

Pace Indicator (Speed Control) - The arrows on the the left side of the display show whether the pace is faster or slower than the current average speed. An upwards pointing arrow is shown if you are faster , downwards arrow for slower. If both arrows are shown, current speed is within + or - 0.1 kmh or mph of current average speed.

Average Speed - The bottom display shows current speed.

Maximum Speed - The maximum speed is called up as a sub-function of average speed and shows the highest speed achieved since the last reset.

Current Pace - The bottom display shows the pace in min/km or min/mile.                                    Range of values are 0.01 - 30.00 min/km 0r 0.01 - 48.00 min/mile.

Speed Zone - One of the 4 vertical bars to the right the display shows the pre-selected speed zone. The RDS will automatically switch from one zone to the next as required. (Note that the battery consumption varies with each zone. Zone 1 uses least power, zone 4 the most.)

Distance - The distance travelled since the last reset is shown in the top display. This figure also includes any preset distances - for example. if 2 sessions were completed on the same day and you wish the grand total of those sessions to be displayed on the day, the first session's distance can be preset into the daily distance setting. the range of values is 0 - 999.99 km (0 - 624.99 miles).

Distance Sub-Function - the distance sub-function shows the grand total of distance travelled. the range of values is 0 - 99999 km or 0 - 62499 miles.

Training Time - the time spent moving (when the speed displayed was greater than zero) is shown. the range of values is 0 - 999.59 hours.

Training Time sub-function - displays the total training time when the speed was greater than zero. the range of values is 0 - 999.59 hours.

Clock time - displays the time of day (12 or 24 hour clock)

Auto Scroll - displays the following values in 3-secong intervals:

• Distance Travelled
• Average speed
• Training time
• Time of day

Controls

Operating Buttons - The RDS has 3 buttons for operation:

• INFO
• ZONE
• MODE

Switching On on Off - The RDS sensor is switched on or off by pressing the ZONE button for 3 seconds. If no speed is detected for 10 minutes, the sensor automatically switches itself off and the RDS shows the time of day. (Note: to save power, the sensor should be switched off manually after use).

Resetting daily values - the daily values are reset (set to zero) by pressing the INFO and MODE buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds (normally done at the start of a session).

Resetting total values - the total values are reset by pressing all 3 buttons (INFO, ZONE and MODE) simultaneously for 3 seconds.

Speed Zone Selection - The ZONE button is pressed briefly to move between the 4 speed zones (indicated by the bars on the right side of the display).

Technical Data

• Water resistant (the RDS should not be immersed in water)
• Temp operating range: 0 - 50 degress C.
• Radar frequency - 24GHz
• Transmission frequency for data transmission to CP41 : 868 MHz

  • Zone 2 - 45 hours
  • Zone 3 - 40 hours
  • Zone 4 - 35 hours
• The battery can easily be changed by the user - if it takes longer than 20 seconds to change the battery, the clock time will need to be reset.

Summary

The Innovative CICLOSPORT Radar Distance System is a precise speed, distance and pace measurement which can be combined with the CICLOSPORT CP41 digital heart rate monitor to provide the sporting enthusiast with the ultimate sports information system. Pace judgment is vital in achieving maximum performance - the RDS and CP41 can provide the competitor with the necessary information to ensure that they operate to their maximum potential.
