1. Technical description
The system consists of 2 functional components: Wireless Sensor Unit and Tendo MyUnit App
(running on iOS Mobile Phones).
*Mobile phone is not included in the package
The Wireless Sensor Unit is connected to a weight by a kevlar cord with a velcro strap.
In weight exercises, muscles lift a mass mby applying a force Fat a velocity v, produces average
power P."
F = m x g"
P = F x v

"
The system measures vertical Average and Peak Velocity of the weight lifted.
By using the known mass, the system also calculates Average Power, Peak Power and Peak
Force in the concentric phase of weight training.
To calculate Peak Power and Peak Force, the system uses equation:
P = F x v , where F = (m x g) + (m x a) , g-acceleration of gravity and a-acceleration
The system also measures downward average velocity; rest time between reps or sets;
displacement; concentric, eccentric and total work time.

2.1 Battery Installation
New rechargeable batteries are pre-installed in a battery compartment."
Before the sensor unit is operated, it is necessary to pull out a safety plastic strap from the battery
compartment to release the battery contact. The rechargeable batteries come pre-charged, ready
for use.
The Tendo MyUnit has a built-in battery charger. To charge the batteries, use the AC / DC power
adapter (included).
Power supply input adapter: 110 - 230V AC, 50-60 Hz Output: 12V DC, 1.2A
*** Use only NiMH, AA size rechargeable batteries, 2000 - 2500 mAh! ***

2.2 Battery status indication
If the batteries need to be charged, the sensor unit will lit red light.
Tendo MyUnit also displays the sensor unit's current battery charge in the upper left corner of the
app's main window.
2.3 How to charge the batteries
1. Connect the power adapter to 110 - 230V AC power outlet
2. Plug the connector into the Power Supply Connector on the front panel of the Wireless
Sensor Unit
Battery status indication while charging the sensor unit:
-red light indicates low voltage —> batteries need to be charged
-red light —> also accompanies the charging process
-once the red light is turned off the batteries are sufficiently charged —> end the charging
process
2.4 How to change the batteries
1. Open the battery compartment
2. Remove old batteries
3. Referring to the insert drawing, place the batteries into the compartment. Press 4 batteries
into the battery compartment. MAKE SURE that the positive ends of the batteries (marked “+“
are touching the springs (marked “+“) in the battery compartment.
*** Use only NiMH, AA size rechargeable batteries, 2000 - 2500 mAh! ***
If the batteries are correctly positioned in the battery compartment, when turned on, the sensor unit
illuminates with a pulsing blue light.
If the sensor unit is turned on and is lit with red light (low battery charge), the batteries need
charging.
!! If the sensor unit does not lit up, please check the polarity of inserted batteries !!
!! Tendo MyUnit can also be used when the batteries are charging !!

2.5 How to attach Sensor Unit to barbells or exercise machines?
Fasten the sensor unit cord to a bar, dumbbell or top weight of a weight stack with the Velcro strap.
Position the sensor, so the cord's trajectory will be perpendicular to the floor when performing the
exercise. See examples below.
Where to attach Sensor Unit?
Note:
Suppose the sensor unit was turned on and paired with the Tendo MyUnit app before you attached
the cord to the barbell. In that case, you can delete this repetition (caused by pulling the cord
upwards) using the Delete rep command in the application.

3 Tendo MyUnit Application
3.1 Connecting wireless sensor with Tendo MyUnit App
1. Download the iOS app, TENDO MyUnit, from Apple Store
2. Turn on the Wireless Sensor Unit
-To turn ON the sensor unit, press and hold the button for 3 seconds until you hear a beep
-To turn OFF the sensor unit, press and hold the button for 3 seconds until you hear a beep
3. Make sure that the Wireless Sensor Unit and the Bluetooth on your mobile phone are turned
on.
4. Launch TENDO MyUnit app and click “OFFLINE, tap to connect”
5. When the available Wireless Sensor Units are displayed, select the Sensor Unit to which you
want to connect. By clicking on the chosen sensor unit, the selected unit will pair the app with
the unit.
LED light indication of connection on Tendo Wireless Sensor:
-pulsing blue light = searching for bluetooth connection with Tendo MyUnit App
-steady blue light = the sensor unit is successfully connected with Tendo MyUnit App

ON / OFF button
The most common mistakes:
-The Bluetooth on your iOS device is turned off
-The Wireless Sensor Unit is turned off
-The Wireless Sensor has low battery charge
-The Tendo MyUnit app is paired with another Wireless Sensor Unit
Switching to another Wireless Tendo Sensor:
If you want to connect another Wireless Tendo Sensor, you must first disconnect the currently
connected Wireless Tendo Sensor (by clicking “Disconnect”).
If data has already been measured, the “Disconnect” command does not clear the data from the
Tendo MyUnit app; it just disconnects the app from the Wireless Tendo Unit. If you do not delete
the measured data, you will be able to continue the exercise series after reconnecting to the
original Tendo unit.
After the connection is established between the Wireless Sensor Unit and the Tendo MyUnit
App, the system is ready for measurement.
