WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

CAUTION Vetta Sports encourages you to ride safely. Wear a helmet every time you ride, use a front

and rear light at night, and always keep your eyes on the road ahead of you.

CAUTION Vetta cycle computers are sophisticated electronic instruments. Vetta recommends that this

product be installed only by a qualified bicycle retailer. Failure to read these instructions and improper

installation of this device may void the warranty. If you are in doubt about any aspect of the installation or

operation of this product, consult your local bicycle retailer for clarification.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

186 1.5v Battery

The C-16 uses a common 186 1.5v button cell battery. Replacement batteries are

available at most camera shops and from your Vetta retailer. Under normal usage

a battery should last approximately one year.

NOTE: Most problems that occur

with cycle computers are caused by dead or weak batteries. If you are having

problems with your computer's operation, check and replace the battery first.

STEP 1

Remove the battery cover from the bottom of the computer using a small flat

blade screwdriver.

STEP 2

Install the battery into the battery compartment with the positive (+) side of the

battery facing the compartment door. Be careful when you are installing the

battery not to bend any of the battery contacts.

STEP 3

Press the battery cap firmly into place making sure that the rubber o-ring seal does

not get pinched or distorted as this will compromise the waterproofing of the unit.

AUTO CLEAR BUTTON

Press for total reset of unit.

All stored data will be erased.

CAUTION

“A” BUTTON (RIGHT)

Controls progressing through functions and settings, and advances the screen

while programming the computer.

“B” BUTTON (LEFT)

Controls advancing through the digits while programming the computer and

activating the Freeze Frame memory function.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS

“A”“B”

Now that you are familiar with the features of your Vetta cycle computer, you are ready to begin programming

the unit specifically for your bike. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the buttons and keystroke

sequences before you proceed to the programming of the unit.

PROGRAMMING THE HEAD OF THE COMPUTER

All Vetta cycle computers are capable of being programmed to read out in either

miles or kilometers. It is also possible to change back and forth between miles

and kilometers by simply reentering the setting program and changing your

choice of measurements.

STEP 1

With the computer in the / mode, press the right key (A) for over 2 seconds.

STEP 2

The screen will clear and the icon will flash along with the Default Wheel

Size Setting of 2074mm (700 x 20c). Press the left key (B) to select either miles

( ) or kilometers ( ).

STEP 3

Set your choice and advance to the wheel size setting mode by pressing the right

key (A) again.

SETTING MILES/HOUR OR KILOMETERS/HOUR

DETERMINING YOUR PROPER WHEEL SIZE

Vetta cycle computers are programmed using the circumference of the wheel measured in millimeters. Note

that while your computer can be programmed to +/- 1mm for total accuracy, discrepancies of as much as

50mm or more will not have a significant effect on the accuracy of the unit for most normal rides.

The following chart lists the programming sizes for some of the most popular wheel sizes currently in use.

These numbers are estimations and may vary slightly from the size of your actual wheel depending on the

manufacturer of the tire that you are using.

WHEEL SIZE CALCULATION

If the wheel size of your bike is not listed in the chart, follow these simple steps to calculate the calibration

number for your bike.

STEP 1

Measure the distance from the center of the front axle to the ground in millimeters. If you are measuring in

inches, multiply the number of inches by 25.4 to get millimeters. If you want total accuracy make this

measurement while you are sitting on the bike.

STEP 2

Multiply the above number by 6.2832 (2π).

STEP 3

Enter the resulting number into the computer.

PRESET VALUE

The C-16 has a factory preset wheel size value of 2074 (700 x 20c).

PROGRAMMING YOUR WHEEL SIZE

STEP 1

Once you select miles ( ) or kilometers ( ) and press the right key (A),

the C-16 will automatically advance into the wheel size setting mode. (See SETTING

MILES/HOUR OR KILOMETERS/HOUR)

STEP 2

The right hand digit (4) will begin flashing. Use the left key (B) to advance to the

number that you want.

NOTE: Hold the left key (B) to fast advance through the digits.

STEP 3

Press the right key (A) to set the number and advance to the next flashing digit (7).

STEP 4

Repeat this sequence until all digits are at the appropriate settings.

STEP 5

Press the right key (A) one final time to enter the wheel size setting into memory

and advance the unit back to the / screen.

The Vetta C-16 cycle computer is equipped with a digital clock that displays time

in a 12 hour format.

STEP 1

With the display in the mode, press the right key (A) for 2 seconds.

STEP 2

The screen will clear and the hour digits will begin to flash. Advance the digits

using the left key (B).

NOTE: Hold this key to fast advance through the digits.

STEP 3

When you have selected the correct digit, press the right key (A) to enter the digit

and advance to set the minutes using the same procedure as above.

STEP 4

Press the right hand key (A) to set the minutes and return to the screen.

SETTING THE CLOCK

MAGNET, SENSOR AND BRACKET INSTALLATION

We recommend that you install your C-16 in the following manner, starting with

the sensor unit on the fork and working up to the mounting bracket on the handlebar.

STEP 1

Mount the new Vetta universal S-2 sensor (pat. pend.) loosely (so that you can

slide it around) to the fork blade using the zip-tie provided. The sensor can be

mounted at any point along the fork, however, we recommend a position on the

back side and near the top of the left fork blade. This will protect the sensor from

being hit by rocks, trees and other objects.

STEP 2

Again, loosely install the sensor magnet to one of the spokes on the left side of

the front wheel. Adjust the magnet and sensor position by sliding both pieces

around until you get the sensor as high on the fork blade as possible while still

maintaining the necessary magnet to sensor spacing (1-2mm).

NOTE: The magnet

should pass within 1-2mm of the sensor, and the top of the magnet should be no

higher than the top of the small arrow molded into the face of the sensor.

Wiring Diagram

STEP 3

Route the sensor wire up the back of the fork securing with electrical tape.

CAUTION Do not use zip-ties to secure the sensor wire to the bike as this

may result in cut or broken wires.

CAUTION Be sure to leave enough slack in the wire to allow for the steering

motion of the bike and the action of the suspension fork, if you have one.

STEP 4

Carefully wrap the excess sensor wire around the front brake cable housing,

securing with electrical tape when necessary. When you are finished, you

should have just enough slack for the computer mounting shoe to reach the

handlebar.

Check to make sure that all of the excess sensor wire is either taped down or

wrapped around the brake cable so that nothing can catch on it while you are riding.

PAGE 15

Clamp the bracket around the handlebars and tighten in place. All Vetta cycle computer brackets are designed

to work with 26.0 - 26.4mm standard diameter road handlebars. Shims are provided to fit smaller 25.4mm

mountain and road bars. Make sure not to over tighten the bracket as this may result in breakage. The

bracket only needs to be tightened enough to keep it from spinning on the handlebar during normal riding.

The heads of all Vetta computers are designed to lock into their brackets. When

installing your computer head into the bracket you should hear an audible

“SNAP”

indicating that the unit is locked firmly in place. The head of the C-16 will slide

into the bracket from the front to the back.

BRACKET INSTALLATION

HEAD UNIT INSTALLATION

Once you have finished with the installation procedure, you are ready to test the unit to make sure that it works.

STEP 1

Advance the computer to the speedometer mode.

STEP 2

Pick up the front of the bicycle and spin the front wheel. The computer should register speed within 1-2 seconds.

If you do not get a speed reading, check to be sure that the magnet and sensor alignment is correct and that

the space between the magnet and sensor is 1-2mm or less. If this does not solve the problem, call the Vetta

customer service hotline at 1.800.GO.VETTA.
