Connecting the Concept2 BikeERG to SYSTM

BikeERG Connection Options

The Concept2 BikeErg is compatible with SYSTM. It sends an ANT+ FE-C signal for power and an ANT+ speed and cadence signal. This is not a true ERG control bike like the Wahoo Kickr Bike or Wattbike Atom. The user still needs to adjust the damper to control the resistance. You will also need the PM5 head unit to work with SYSTM.  Note: The bike will connect using Bluetooth but will only give average power, not a power reading, thus is not supported.  

Note: In order to connect the BikeErg to SYSTM App you need the PM5 computer installed on your BikeERG unit.

Ant+ FE-C Setup

Make sure that Ant+ and SYSTM are up and running

1. Insert your Ant+ dongle into your Mac or Windows computer and launch SYSTM.
2. Select a workout from the SYSTM Library and launch the workout.
3. You should now see the Device Connections menu open.

 Ready the PM5 head unit to broadcast an Ant+ signal

1. Press the 'Menu' button, Choose 'More Options.
   
2. Choose 'Turn Wireless On'
   
3. Choose 'Or, Connect with Ant+'
   
4. Choose 'Ant +FE-C'
5. 

Note:  Please make sure to select Ant+FE-C.  Any other selection will prevent the PM5 from connecting properly to SYSTM

3. Choose the 'Power' and 'Cadence' icons below the trainer's name

Bluetooth Setup-  Please note:  This will only report Average Power and is not recommended as a connection to the app.  We recommend ANT+. 

Note: The PM5 computer should be broadcasting by default when you power on the unit.  If you still have trouble connecting try the Ant+ setup steps above on the PM5 and then see if you can locate the BikeErg Bluetooth connection in the 'Add Devices' list of the Device Connections Menu
