3. Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure your bike is clean and dry. The sensors are designed for simple, tool-free installation.
3.1 Cadence Sensor Installation
- Locate the crank arm of your bicycle.
- Attach the cadence sensor to the inside of the non-drive side crank arm using the provided rubber band or zip ties. Ensure the sensor is securely fastened and does not interfere with pedaling.
- The sensor should be positioned flat against the crank arm.
- A green LED light will flash briefly upon successful installation and activation.

4. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the sensors will automatically activate when motion is detected. They are designed to be paired with compatible devices.
4.1 Pairing with a Cycling Computer or Smartphone
- Ensure Bluetooth and/or ANT+ is enabled on your cycling computer or smartphone.
- Open the device's sensor pairing menu or a compatible fitness application (e.g., Bryton Active App, Strava, Zwift).
- Spin the crank arm (for cadence) or the wheel (for speed) a few times to wake up the sensors.
- Select the Bryton sensor from the list of available devices. The sensor ID will typically appear as "Bryton Speed" or "Bryton Cadence".
- Confirm the pairing. Once paired, your device will begin receiving real-time speed and cadence data.

5. Maintenance and Battery Replacement
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Bryton sensors.
5.1 Cleaning
- Wipe the sensors with a soft, damp cloth after rides, especially if exposed to dirt or sweat.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the casing.
- Ensure the sensors are dry before storage.
5.2 Battery Replacement
The Bryton sensors use a replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery. Battery life is approximately 270 hours for the speed sensor and 360 hours for the cadence sensor, with a standby time of 300 days.
- Carefully twist open the battery cover on the back of the sensor using a coin or a flat-head screwdriver.
- Remove the old CR2032 battery.
- Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
- Align the battery cover and twist it back into place until it is securely sealed.
- Test the sensor by spinning the wheel or crank arm to ensure it activates and connects to your device.
