Instruction how to use the NSD Spinner with Bluetooth speedometer

The NSD Spinner Bluetooth is the very first model equipped with a low energy bluetooth (BLE) speedometer. The counter itself does not have a screen to read the score. This manual mainly focuses on the use of the application that is available in the Apple app store. For the starting method of this Spinner, please refer to the manual " Starting NSD Spinners with the Autostart Mechanism" on this website. The start-up method is identical to any other Autostart powerball. This manual focuses more on the use and possibilities of the mobile application.

The NSD Spinner Bluetooth shows you insights of your training like never before: Charts, statistics, world rankings, training programs, competitions. The possibilities are endless! This really is the next step in our range of NSD Spinners. Anyone who uses an iOS device can use this powerball with Bluetooth (Low Energy) and accompanying -free- application.

Characteristics of the NSD Spinner Bluetooth speedometer

Bluetooth LED indicator: at sufficient speed of the rotor (3500 rpm), it flashes alternately green / blue if there is no connection, and lights continuously green or blue when pairing has been successful. The same color is shown in the NSD Workout application inside the pairing menu.

The speedometer is already attached to the NSD Spinner in the same place where other Spinners have a cover. If necessary, remove the counter by getting under the edge with your nails, you can also use a thin screwdriver or knife to get under the edge. Watch out for your fingers! Then flip the counter off the NSD Spinner. Place the speedometer with its two protrusions above the two recesses in the powerball and push it with your thumbs until it clicks into place. We recommend that this removal and reassembly is carried out a little number of times as possible.

Installation, start-up and linking NSD Workout

First of all, you need to download the application for your iOS device. You can do this by clicking on the following respective links to download the "NSD Workout" app:

Once the application is installed, open it and leave set to the home screen. Then power up the NSD Spinner, and spin it with enough speed so that the LED indicator on top of the counter flashes alternately green / blue. A notification will be displayed in the application to pair the NSD Spinner Bluetooth.

Note: There is no need to establish a Bluetooth connection from your phone as you would, for example, with your headphones. Your phone will automatically find the Bluetooth counter when you see the flashing LEDs on your NSD Spinner Bluetooth and you have the app in the home screen.

Tips for using the NSD Spinner Bluetooth

This model of speedometer does not contain batteries. When the NSD Spinner Bluetooth spins at a sufficient speed for pairing, an alternating green / blue LED light will start flashing on the counter.
The bluetooth counter can be detached from the NSD Spinner. However, it is not interchangeable with other NSD Spinners due to the different number of magnets in the rotor. This counter on another NSD Spinner will not be supplied with enough power.
There is no need to establish a Bluetooth connection in the Bluetooth settings of your phone or tablet. The application recognizes your NSD Spinner Bluetooth by itself if you increase the speed to at least 3500 RPM. Please note that the application should be in the main screen (and not have the menu opened).
The starting procedure of this NSD Spinner Bluetooth is the same as any other powerball with the autostart mechanism. Click here for the instructions on how to start it.
