4.2. Mode Switching (Speed or Cadence)

The BK467 sensor operates in either speed mode or cadence mode. You can switch between modes by reinstalling the battery:

  • Cadence Mode: Reinstall the battery until the BLUE indicator flashes.
  • Speed Mode: Reinstall the battery until the RED indicator flashes.

After the battery is installed, a light will illuminate to indicate the current mode.

4.3. Physical Installation

The sensor is designed for easy, non-magnetic installation. Use the appropriate rubber mat and mounting band for your desired mode:

  • For Speed Mode:
    1. Buckle the curved rubber mat onto the back of the sensor.
    2. Bind the sensor with a large rubber band onto the wheel axle.
  • For Cadence Mode:
    1. Buckle the flat rubber mat onto the back of the sensor.
    2. Bind the sensor with a small rubber band onto the pedal crank.

6. User Tips

  • Simultaneous Tracking: The BK467 sensor can only track either speed or cadence at one time. If you wish to track both speed and cadence simultaneously, you will need to purchase and install two separate BK467 sensors, one configured for speed mode and the other for cadence mode.
  • Battery Usage: The 500-hour battery life is based on active use. The sensor is motion-activated and will conserve battery when not in motion.
