Can I disassemble the elements of my power
meter?
No. Inadequate handling of the product will
invalidate the warranty.
The only parts that can be disassembled
are those that are involved in installing and
uninstalling both the cranks on the bicycle,
and the battery and battery cap. Read the user
manual carefully before handling the product.
Never try to disassemble the plastic part at the
end of the left crank and/or the electronics inside
the axle.
Do not try to disassemble the mechanical
elements assembled by the manufacturer, such
as the axle with the left crank, the self-extractor
system, or the spider with the chainrings on the
right side.
How often should the battery be replaced?
ROTOR INpower uses a standard AA 1.5 V
®
battery. The battery is not included in the original
packaging.
Battery life is usually 300 hours for fully-charged,
alkaline batteries from leading brands. When
the battery is near the end of its life, the ROTOR
INpower cranks will send a message to your
®
computer device that will warn you that you'll
need to change it soon.
You can see the battery status by connecting
the crank to the ROTOR User Software running
downloaded for free from ROTOR's website.
In order to connect the crank to the computer, a
USB ANT+ stick is necessary.

User Software
Read the user manual before opening the
battery cap. Opening the battery cap is only
recommended when it is necessary to change
the battery or uninstall the cranks. Inadequate
handling of the battery cap can damage the
O-ring and the seal.
How do I replace the battery?
Read the user manual for correct battery
replacement.
The positive side must be facing outward.
Can I use rechargeable batteries?
Yes, you can use them if they are AA batteries with
1.5 V.
Battery life depends on the manufacturer and
model. Rechargeable batteries usually have a
lower life, which is reduced even further the more
you recharge them.
My battery seems swollen or shows signs of
corrosion.
Discard damaged batteries immediately. Using
damaged batteries can damage the electronic
parts inside the axle and void the warranty.
If I usually connect my INpower to the
Software running on the computer, is the battery
life still 300 hours?
If fast mode is active (only possible with User
Software), battery consumption is higher due to the
higher frequency of data emission required by the
TORQUE 360 graph.
Always disconnect the power meter when closing
You can also connect
the program to make sure that fast mode is off.
