3.2 Data Transmission

Once paired, the sensor will automatically transmit real-time speed or cadence data to your connected device. Ensure the sensor is within range of your device for continuous data reception.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Waterproofing

The sensor has an IPX6 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets. It can withstand rain and splashes during cycling. However, it is not designed for submersion in water for extended periods.

4.2 Battery Replacement

The sensor is powered by a replaceable battery, offering up to 270 hours of battery life. When the battery is low, the sensor's performance may degrade or it may stop transmitting data. Refer to the sensor's casing for battery type and replacement instructions. Ensure proper polarity when inserting a new battery.

4.3 Cleaning

Clean the sensor periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the casing or electronic components.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Sensor Not Activating/No LED Light

  • Check Battery Insulation: Ensure the plastic insulating sheet has been removed from under the battery.
  • Battery Level: Replace the battery if it is depleted.
  • Battery Orientation: Verify the battery is inserted with the correct polarity.

5.2 Difficulty Pairing with Device

  • Sensor Mode: Confirm the sensor is in the correct mode (speed or cadence) for the data you wish to receive.
  • Device Bluetooth/ANT+: Ensure Bluetooth or ANT+ is enabled on your receiving device.
  • Proximity: Keep the sensor close to your receiving device during the pairing process.
  • Interference: Move away from other electronic devices that might cause interference.
  • Reboot: Try restarting both the sensor (by removing and reinserting the battery) and your receiving device.

5.3 Inaccurate Readings

  • Installation: Verify the sensor is securely mounted and correctly positioned according to the installation instructions for the chosen mode (speed on hub, cadence on crank arm).
  • Tire Size Calibration (Speed Mode): Ensure your cycling computer or app has the correct wheel circumference entered for accurate speed readings.
  • Obstructions: Check for any physical obstructions between the sensor and the magnet (if applicable, though this sensor is magnet-less) or the receiving device.
