Overview

You will need:

1. Your bike, mounted on your STAC Zero Halcyon Smart Trainer.

(See First Time Set-up and Calibration, pages 8-10).

2. A training app, which tells your trainer how much resistance to

create, running on a device such as a smart phone, tablet,

laptop or personal computer.

In order to control the Halcyon, you’ll download your preferred training

app to your device, start up the app and the trainer, and then connect

to the trainer in the app via one of two wireless protocols: Bluetooth

Smart [BLE] or ANT+.

(See Page 20 for a list of training apps and connection instructions, and

page 21 to download STAC’s free app, STAC Control Panel).

Types of Smart workouts:

There are two main types of Smart workouts.

ERG MODE

Erg mode keeps you accountable; making sure you hit every power target

in your workout by increasing resistance if you slow down too soon, or

easing up if you pedal faster. Erg mode apps often come with pre-planned

interval workouts, and show your training data onscreen.

SIM MODE

Simulation Mode simulates an outdoor ride, tougher on the climbs than the

downhills. Sim mode apps often come with fun graphics and allow you to

race with other app users.

The Halcyon Smart Trainer can add fun, variety, challenge and

accountability to your workouts. Here’s a summary of everything

you need to know to get started Smart Training.

The Halcyon also has a non-smart mode, Resistance Mode, where you use

your bike’s gears to adjust resistance. Set the magnet distance in STAC

Control Panel to use Resistance mode [page 29].

Uploaded workouts: Sometimes you just want to get on and ride. See page

28 to learn how to upload a favorite Erg workout to your trainer so it starts

automatically.

TRAINER SAFETY

oBefore using your STAC Zero Halcyon consult a doctor if you or any

member of your household have a medical device that can be

affected by strong magnetic fields, such as pacemakers or ICD’s.

oStore the trainer out of reach of children and pets.

oWhen moving the trainer, carry it by the Threaded Rods or the Knobs

to avoid closing your hands between the Legs and the Frame.

oDo not put fingers or other appendages between the Magnet Arrays.

oBe very careful when using metal tools near the Magnets.

oNever place a computer or other sensitive electronics near the

Magnets.

oBefore each use, inspect the face of the Magnet Array for any metal

debris. Wipe any debris off with a rag.

oAvoid adjusting the Calipers by hand, as this contributes to wear and

tear on the motors. To manually position the Calipers, use the STAC

Control Panel App [see page 46].

oAlways retract the Spring Pin completely before rotating the Magnet

Arrays. Never use force on the Magnet Arrays or Spring Pins.

Rotating the Magnet Arrays forcefully will damage the Spring Pins.

oBe careful not damage or pull out ribbon cables and wires.

FIRST TIME SET-UP & CALIBRATION

Support Video: “Installing your bike on the STAC Zero Halcyon Smart

Trainer”

PRIOR TO SET-UP

1. Complete the final assembly step before beginning the first time set

up. Motors arrive detached to prevent damage to them during shipping.

2. The STAC Zero Halcyon’s battery may be low when it arrives. Charge

your trainer for 30 minutes using the included micro-USB cable to get

started. See page 28 for full charging instructions.

A. INSTALL BIKE ON TRAINER

1. Open the Legs to full extension and place the trainer flat on the

floor.

2. Pull back the Spring Pin and rotate the Magnet Arrays from

vertical to horizontal one at a time. The Spring Pin will seat itself

once the Magnet Array is in place.

3. Move the Speed Sensor to the side and out of the way.

!ALWAYS RETRACT THE SPRING PINS COMPLETELY BEFORE

ROTATING THE MAGNET ARRAYS. NEVER USE FORCE ON THE

MAGNET ARRAYS OR SPRING PINS.

4. Unscrew the Knobs, opening them all the way.

Tip: Moving the Calipers by hand contributes to wear and tear on the

motors.If your wheel will not easily fit between the Magnet Arrays

refer to Troubleshooting [page 34].

!ALWAYS ROTATE THE MAGNET ARRAY HORIZONTALLY AND PULL

THE SPEED SENSOR TO THE SIDE BEFORE MOUNTING THE BIKE ON

THE TRAINER TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE TRAINER.

5. Install your bike on the trainer, with the Frame behind the bike,

and the Legs extended towards the front.

a. Back the bike into the trainer, aiming to keep the tire

centered over the central bolt.

b. Insert one end of the Skewer in a Skewer Cup and

tighten the Knob until the tire is centered. Repeat on

the other side.

c. Tighten both Knobs.

d. Tighten the Wing Nuts against the Frame, locking the

bike in place.

B. INSTALL A SPOKE MAGNET

1. Install the included Spoke Magnet on a spoke.

2. Align the Spoke Magnet with the tip of the Speed Sensor.

3. Adjust the Speed Sensor within 5mm-10mm (¼”-½”) of the Spoke

Magnet.

4. Turn the wheel a couple of revolutions slowly by hand. Check that

a. The Spoke Magnet will not hit your bike or the Speed Sensor.

b. The red light on the Electronics Housing flashes when the

Spoke Magnet passes the Speed Sensor.

Tip: If your wheel is not quite centered on your first try, tighten one

knob while loosening the other to shift the bike over.
