Using Cycling Dynamics

Before you can use cycling dynamics, you must pair the Vector 

power meter with your device (

Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors

page 12

).

NOTE: 

Recording cycling dynamics uses additional device 

memory.

1

Go for a ride.

2

Scroll to the cycling dynamics screen to view your power 

phase data 

À

, total power 

Á

, and platform center offset 

Â

.

3

If necessary, select 

Data Fields

 to change a data field 

(

Customizing the Data Screens

, page 16

).

NOTE: 

The two data fields at the bottom of the screen 

Ã

 can 

be customized.

You can send the ride to the Garmin Connect Mobile app to 

view additional cycling dynamics data (

Sending Your Ride to 

Garmin Connect

, page 14

).

Power Phase Data

Power phase is the pedal stroke region (between the start crank 

angle and the end crank angle) where you produce positive 

power.

Platform Center Offset

Platform center offset is the location on the pedal platform where 

you apply force.

Updating the Vector Software Using the Edge Device

Before you can update the software, you must pair your Edge 

device with your Vector system.

1

Send your ride data to your Garmin Connect account 

(

Sending Your Ride to Garmin Connect

, page 14

).

Garmin Connect automatically looks for software updates 

and sends them to your Edge device.

2

Bring your Edge device within range (3 m) of the sensor.

3

Rotate the crank arm a few times. The Edge device prompts 

you to install all pending software updates.

4

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Getting Your FTP Estimate

The device uses your user profile information from the initial 

setup to estimate your functional threshold power (FTP). For a 

more accurate FTP value, you can conduct an FTP test using a 

paired power meter and heart rate monitor (

Conducting an FTP 

Test

, page 13

).

Select 

Menu

 > 

My Stats

 > 

FTP

.

Your FTP estimate appears as a value measured in watts per 

kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the 

color gauge.

 Purple

Superior

 Blue

Excellent

 Green

Good

 Orange

Fair

 Red

Untrained

For more information, see the appendix (

FTP Ratings

page 22

).

Conducting an FTP Test

Before you can conduct a test to determine your functional 

threshold power (FTP), you must have a paired power meter

.

Your FTP appears as a value measured in watts per 

kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the 

color gauge.

Automatically Calculating FTP

Before the device can calculate your functional threshold power 

(FTP), you must have a paired power meter and heart rate 

monitor (

Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors

, page 12

).

1

Select 

Menu

 > 

My Stats

 >

Your FTP appears as a value measured in watts per 

kilogram, your power output in watts, and a position on the 

color gauge.

Using Electronic Shifters

Before you can use compatible electronic shifters, such as 

Shimano

®

 Di2

 shifters, you must pair them with your device 

(

Pairing Your ANT+ Sensors

, page 12

). You can customize the 

optional data fields (

Customizing the Data Screens

, page 16

)

The Edge 520 Plus device displays current adjustment values 

when the sensor is in adjustment mode.

Situational Awareness

Your Edge device can be used with the Varia Vision

 device, 

Varia

 smart bike lights, and rearview radar to improve 

situational awareness. See the owner's manual for your Varia 

device for more information.

NOTE: 

You may need to update the Edge software before 

pairing Varia devices (

Updating the Software Using Garmin 

Express

, page 19

).
