crank length and set the installation angle of the sensors inside
the pedals. The Vector system automatically calibrates after
each ride. You must also enter the crank length when you move

1 Bring the Forerunner device within 3 m of the sensor.

Upgrading Vector 1 to Vector 2 7

 NOTE: If the pedal pod cable rubs the chain, you can add
one or two washers between the spindle and the crank arm
to increase clearance. Do not use more than two washers.

Installing the Right Pedal

This procedure is for the Vector S system.
1 Apply a thin layer of grease on the pedal spindle threads.
2 Insert the spindle into the crank arm.
3 Hand tighten the spindle.
4 Use the pedal wrench to tighten the spindle.
NOTE: Garmin recommends torque of 25 to 30 lbf-ft. (34 to
40 N-m).

Performing a Static Torque Test
NOTICE
The static torque test is intended for advanced cyclists and
installation experts. This test is not required under normal
circumstances to achieve good results with the Vector system.
This test is available for the Edge 1000, 810, and 510 devices.
Garmin recommends performing the static torque test a
minimum of three times and averaging the reported torque
values.
Go to www.garmin.com/vectorowner, and click on the FAQs
link for detailed instructions.
Following repeated static torque tests, if the reported torque
value is consistently different than the expected value, you can
enter a scale factor for one or both pedals. The scale factor is
stored in the pedal and adjusts the power value that is
calculated on the pedal. The scale factor is sent to the Edge
device and stored on Edge device.
Crank Compatibility
The Vector system works with most crank arm types, including
carbon. It fits most crank arm sizes with either the standard (12
to 15 mm thick) or large (15 to 18 mm thick) size. The Vector
system is compatible with crank arms up to 44 mm wide.
Third-Party Devices
