4.2 Mode Switching (Speed or Cadence)

The CS600 sensor can operate in either Speed mode or Cadence mode. To switch between modes:

1. Remove the battery from the sensor.
2. Reinstall the battery.
3. Observe the indicator light:
• If the RED indicator flashes, the sensor is in Cadence Mode.
• If the GREEN indicator flashes, the sensor is in Speed Mode.
4. After the mode switch is complete, please reconnect the device to your bike computer or app to display the correct mode.

This image illustrates the process of switching the GEOID CS600 sensor between cadence and speed modes by reinstalling the battery. It shows the sensor with a red indicator for cadence mode and a green indicator for speed mode.

4.3 Sensor Installation

Install the sensor according to the desired mode:

• Cadence Mode: Install the sensor on the left inner crank arm using the small rubber elastic ring. Ensure it is securely fastened and does not interfere with pedaling.
• Speed Mode: Install the sensor on the front hub using the large rubber elastic ring. Ensure it is securely fastened and does not interfere with wheel rotation.

This image provides clear diagrams for installing the GEOID CS600 sensor. It shows how to attach the sensor to the left inner crank arm for cadence measurement (indicated by a red flash) and to the front hub for speed measurement (indicated by a green flash).

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Connecting to Devices

The GEOID CS600 sensor supports both ANT+ and Bluetooth dual protocols, allowing broad compatibility with various cycling devices and applications.

• ANT+ Connectivity: The sensor can connect to ANT+ compatible bike computers (e.g., GARMIN, Bryton, Wahoo) and sport watches.
• Bluetooth Connectivity: The sensor can connect to Bluetooth-enabled cycling apps (e.g., OnelapFit, Wahoo Fitness, Zwift, Rouvy) on your smartphone or tablet, as well as Bluetooth-enabled bike computers and sport watches.

To connect:

1. Ensure the sensor is active (battery insulation sheet removed).
2. Activate the desired mode (Speed or Cadence) as described in Section 4.2.
3. On your bike computer, sport watch, or cycling app, initiate a search for new sensors.
4. Select the GEOID CS600 sensor from the list of available devices.
5. Once connected, the device will start receiving speed or cadence data.

The sensor can connect to an ANT+ device and a Bluetooth App simultaneously to record two pieces of data at the same time, ensuring stable transmission.

This image demonstrates the GEOID CS600 sensor's dual ANT+ and Bluetooth protocol support, showing its ability to connect with popular bike computers (Garmin, Wahoo), smartwatches (Suunto), and cycling applications (OnelapFit, Wahoo, Zwift, Rouvy) for stable data transmission.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning and Waterproofing

The GEOID CS600 sensor has an IPX66 waterproof and dustproof rating, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets and dust ingress. However, it is important to follow these guidelines:

• Do not soak the sensor in water.
• Avoid high-pressure cleaning directly on the sensor.
• Clean the sensor with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
• Ensure the battery compartment is securely closed after battery replacement to maintain waterproofing.

6.2 Battery Replacement

The sensor uses a standard CR2032 3V coin cell battery. When the battery life (approximately 500 hours) is depleted, replace it as follows:

1. Carefully open the battery compartment cover.
2. Remove the old CR2032 battery.
3. Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
4. Securely close the battery compartment cover, ensuring the seal is properly seated to maintain waterproofing.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GEOID CS600 sensor, please try the following steps:

• Sensor Not Detected:
• Ensure the battery insulation sheet has been removed.
• Check if the battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
• Make sure the sensor is in the correct mode (Speed or Cadence) for your intended use.
• Bring the sensor closer to your receiving device (bike computer, phone).
• Restart your receiving device and try pairing again.
• Inaccurate Readings:
• Verify the sensor is securely mounted and not moving during your ride.
• For speed mode, ensure the sensor is on the front hub. For cadence mode, ensure it's on the left crank arm.
• Check for any physical obstructions or interference near the sensor.
• Mode Switching Issues:
• Ensure you are removing and reinstalling the battery completely to trigger the mode switch.
• Observe the indicator light carefully (RED for Cadence, GREEN for Speed).
• Reconnect your device after switching modes.
