SOFTWARE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains no software instructions. A
complete software guide will be found in the Help
section of the software itself. The software needs
to be installed in order to access the Help section.
Instructions for the software can be found under the
“Real Turbo Muin B+ use – software installation”
paragraph.  Once  the  software  is  installed,  there
are 2 ways to access the Help section:
-  press F1;
-  choose “Help – Help content” from the software
menu.

WIRELESS

• The roller utilizes ANT+™ Wireless data
transmission technology.
• This technology allows the Real Turbo Muin B+
software to communicate wirelessly with the roller
by using an USB ANT key that connects to the PC.

HEART RATE MONITOR

The Real Turbo Muin B+ includes an internal heart-
rate  receiver  that  allows  heart  rate  frequency
to  be  monitored  and  displayed  on  screen  during
training or racing. The Real Turbo Muin B+ heart
rate  receiver  is  compatible  with  all  ANT+™  type
transmitters.

SLOPE

The maximum simulatable slope on the Real Tur-
bo Muin B+ 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 (fa-
ster= more power) and of the weight (the heavier
the rider, the more power is required to climb any
given slope).

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  cor-
rectly  as  soon  as  the  conditions  return  to  being
compatible with the power deliverable by the Real

Turbo Muin B+. When the required power is out-
side the available power range, the roller displays
on the monitor the actual power it is producing
and not the theoretical power.

Calibration  of  On-screen  Power  and  generated
resistance
To understand the power measurement system, it
is  necessary  to  explain  that  the  Real  Turbo  Muin
B+  is  not  an  ergometer*,  and  therefore  does  not
directly measure power generated by a cyclist, but
calculates  it  using  mathematical  formulas.  Addi-
tionally, there are variables that the software does
not  recognize  (ie.  external  temperature,  internal
temperature, oil condition and so on), that influen-
ce the power generated by the system. For these
reasons,  the  on-screen  power  is  variable  and  is
impossible to determine in advance. If you have an
ergometer*, it is possible to conduct a calibration
procedure with your own bicycle. This procedure,
when conducted with a bicycle, allows for greater
precision  and  reduced  inconsistencies  in  power
measurement.  Consult  the  Help  file  (F1  key)  for
more information on the calibration procedure.

* Instrument for measuring the power generated
by the rider when pedalling.

CADENCE SENSOR

The Real Turbo Muin B+ uses an innovative “sen-
sorless” system that utilizes a sophisticated cal-
culation based on speed to track pedal cadence.
When maintaining a high pedal cadence at low re-
sistance levels, there may occasionally be a slight
inaccuracy  in  the  cadence  value  since  it  is  the
result  of  calculation  and  not  direct  monitoring.
This occurs especially with fast pedalling and low
resistance.
If the precision of the “sensorless” system is not
sufficient, it is possible to utilize the included wi-
red sensor.
For  installation  on  the  bike,  follow  the  instruc-
tions on the enclosed manual.
To activate the cadence detection via the sensor,
connect the sensor to the Real Turbo Muin B+ be-
fore starting up the hometrainer.  Once powered,
rotate the crank a few times.  When the magnet is
the sensor’s proximity, for a few times, the LED
on the electronic card will emit some higher fre-
quency flashes.
