Any manual change is immediately overridden by the app\u2019s target. Adjust power in the app.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: rgba(255,255,255,0.08); padding: 1rem; border-radius: 0.5rem;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 0.5rem 0;\">Can I use the built-in shifters on my Kettler ergometer (e.g. Racer S 2019) to shift gears in simulation apps?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">No. The KeAnt cannot read those shifter signals from the Kettler. Even on models with built-in shifters you need the KeAnt shifters to change gears in these apps.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: rgba(255,255,255,0.08); padding: 1rem; border-radius: 0.5rem;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 0.5rem 0;\">My heart rate shows on my Garmin head unit\/watch, but the HR-zone field stays empty. What should I do?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">The KeAnt broadcasts two ANT+ channels: an FE-C smart trainer and an HRM heart-rate sensor. Some Garmin devices require pairing both as separate sensors. Pair the HRM channel as well and the HR-zone field will work.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: rgba(255,255,255,0.08); padding: 1rem; border-radius: 0.5rem;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 0.5rem 0;\">Can I pair my Garmin\/ANT+ chest strap with the KeAnt instead of the Kettler\u2019s own Polar strap?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">No. The KeAnt can only get heart rate via the ergometer\u2019s sensors (Polar strap, hand grips, ear clip). If you want to use an ANT+ strap, pair it directly to your training app or Garmin device, not to the KeAnt.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: rgba(255,255,255,0.08); padding: 1rem; border-radius: 0.5rem;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 0.5rem 0;\">In Rouvy I can barely get past 18 km\/h even at ~110 rpm. Do I need the shifters?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">Yes. In SIM mode you need the KeAnt shifters to select the virtual gear. Without them you are stuck in a default light gear. The app computes speed from power and simulation parameters, not cadence. With the 17 KeAnt gears you can upshift to increase resistance, which raises speed at the same cadence (terrain and drag still apply). In ERG\/workout modes the app controls target power, so shifters are not relevant there.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"background: rgba(255,255,255,0.08); padding: 1rem; border-radius: 0.5rem;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 0.5rem 0;\">How does SIM mode work? (e.g. Zwift)<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">In SIM apps (e.g. Zwift) the controlling app sends simulation data to the KeAnt, such as speed, aerodynamic drag, and gradient. The KeAnt computes the resulting power and sets the Kettler\u2019s resistance, which adjusts its magnetic brake. The KeAnt then reports the measured power\/resistance back to the app, which computes your speed and updates the simulation continuously. In this mode the Kettler does not accept manual resistance changes, which is why the KeAnt shifters simulate 17 gears to control resistance and cadence like on a real bike.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- pagediv -->\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- pagediv --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Der <strong>KeAnt<\/strong> ist ein Adapter, der dein Kettler Ergometer mit deinem Handy, Tablet, Computer, Smartwatch oder Fahrradcomputer verbindet.
