When you turn on the ELEMNT ACE, it will warm up and then automatically open to the Ready to Ride dashboard, providing immediate access to your workout profiles, synced routes and planned structured workouts, and the connection, battery, and data status of any paired sensors.
The dashboard can be minimized by selecting Close with the left front button.
The Ready to Ride dashboard is dismissed when a ride is started, but the Workout profile, Routes, and Workouts can be accessed by tapping the power button (left side of the ACE) once to get to the Device settings page and then swiping left to get to the Ride page. The sensors can similarly be accessed from the Sensors page, also found by swiping left from the Device settings page. For more information on ACE settings, see ELEMNT ACE Settings.
Persistent status bar
In a small status bar, regardless of the page you are on, the following will be displayed:
- the local time
- current temperature (internal ACE temperature, that may differ from environmental conditions if stationary)
- connection status (flashing = trying to connect, solid = connected) for
- Wahoo app (phone symbol)
- Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi symbol)
- GPS (arrowhead symbol)
- ACE battery percentage
- battery charging status
GPS / connected sensor status bar
Below the persistent status bar, there will be a GPS and sensor status bar that will display:
-
- GPS status: acquiring (orange background) or acquired (green background)
- symbols representing the sensor types that are actively connected
- ex. speed, power, and heart rate
When minimized, the GPS acquisition status will still be visible to let you know when its safe to start the ride.
Workout Profiles
Below the GPS/sensor status bar, there is a Workout profile button to access the workout profiles available to the ACE, so that you can quickly toggle between your customized profiles for training, racing, commuting, MTB, etc.
Routes
Below the Workout profiles button is a Routes button to access all routes you've previously synced to the ACE via Wi-Fi or just manually synced via Bluetooth from the Wahoo app. You can also select saved locations or a location on the map to route to. You can also trigger a Wi-Fi sync of your route from the Routes page, provided you are within range of a saved Wi-Fi network.
Workouts
Below the Routes button is a Workouts button to access any planned structured workouts that have been synced to the ACE via Wi-Fi or just manually synced via Bluetooth from the Wahoo app. You can also trigger a Wi-Fi sync of your planned structured workouts, provided you are within range of a saved Wi-Fi network.
Sensors
At the bottom of the dashboard is a sensor quick view panel with a button to pair sensors and, once paired, to show the connection, battery, and data transmission status of any connected sensors.
Connected sensors will show the battery level as a fuel gauge and any data value that is transmitting below the sensor icon. If a paired sensor is not connected, it will still be present, but show as grayed out. Tapping on a sensor will expand the sensor details allowing for certain quick settings, ex. crank length setting and calibration for power meters.
