Congratulations on your purchase of the new Vetta C-16 cycle computer. Packed with all the features that a
professional rider needs to keep track his workouts, the new C-16 has been redesigned to dramatically
improve its reliability when used off-road. A new sealed case and heavy duty bracket combined with our
new universal sensor (pat. pend.) make the C-16 one of the most durable computers Vetta has ever produced.

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.

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.
