If the converter is plugged directly into the KETTLER device, a USB extension cable is required. Sometimes one is included, but it is usually too short.

Alternatively, the converter can be plugged into the PC and the connection can be established via a serial cable.
The cable length should not be too short. It must range from the PC to the device.

For Bluetooth devices, the PC/laptop must have Bluetooth. For the older devices (S-Line, Racer 9), Bluetooth 2.0 is sufficient.
Bluetooth 4.0 or higher is required for devices with Bluetooth Smart (Premium E Display, TACX devices, FTMS devices).
For TACX, however, we recommend the connection via ANT+.

For ANT+ devices, the PC/laptop must have an ANT+ USB dongle.
Please pay attention to the range. ANT+ chest straps usually have a maximum range of 3m, but start to have dropouts before that.
The dongle is also available with a USB extension cable to get closer to the device.

Some FE-C devices do not provide cadence via the ANT+ interface. In this case, an additional CAD sensor can be searched for in KWT during device setup.
The CYCPLUS sensor is attached to the crank and can be easily integrated. The sensor can also be used as a speed sensor on the bike by switching.
For KWT, only the cadence sensor is used.

KWT has a search button under the selection of the chest strap that searches for a chest strap nearby.
Attention: The reach of the chest straps is usually only 3 m.
