How to Calibrate Magene Power Meter

All Magene Power Meters support auto calibration, which automatically adjusts for minor variations to keep performance consistent. However, for significant changes like new installations or re-installations, manual calibration is still recommended. This guide will walk you through the two calibration methods for your Magene power meter: general manual calibration and back pedal calibration. Here’s how each method works and when you might need to use it for the best performance.

 

1. General Manual Calibration

How to Perform It

(1)Open the Magene Utility app and select the “Zero Calibration” function.

(2)Alternatively, you can perform manual calibration directly through your bike computer if it supports this feature.

General manual calibration has no specific requirements for the crank position, so you can initiate it regardless of pedal placement.

When to Use It

General manual calibration is recommended in these situations:

(1)After installing or reinstalling the power meter

(2)Before testing, long-distance rides, or competitions

For general maintenance, we suggest performing it once a month if you’re primarily using the power meter for daily rides. However, for special events (like installations, tests, long-distance rides, or competitions), we recommend calibrating beforehand.

2. Back Pedal Calibration (Applicable only for spider-based power meters)

How to Perform It

(1)Open the Magene Utility app and enable the “Rewind Zero-Offset” option.

(2)Rewind the chain five full turns to complete the calibration.

(3)You can perform this calibration while seated on the bike or by turning the pedals manually, but we recommend not performing it during a ride for safety.

Once activated, the “Rewind Zero-Offset” setting remains enabled, allowing back pedal calibration anytime you rewind the chain five times. There’s no need to set the pedal position beforehand.
