ENGLISH

Polar Cadence Sensor Bluetooth®Smart is

designed to measure cadence, i.e. crank

revolutions per minute, when cycling.

Polar Cadence Sensor Bluetooth®Smart is

compatible with Bluetooth®Smart Ready

devices that support Bluetooth®Cycling Speed

and Cadence Service. When using a

smartphone, a separate application is required

to view cadence sensor data. It is recommended

to use the Polar Beat application but it is also

possible to use other applications.

SYSTEM IMAGE

If you have a polarpersonaltrainer.com account,

Polar Beat automatically synchronizes your

training files to it. Please note that you must

when starting Polar Beat for the autosync to

work.

The latest version of this user manual can be

downloaded at www.polar.com/support.

Please follow the pictures on the inner covers.

Write the device ID printed on your cadence

sensor in the space on the inner front cover

(picture 1). The original marking may fade as

a result of normal wear and tear.

Product Elements

Installing the Cadence Sensor

For a video tutorial, see Installing Polar

Cadence Sensor Bluetooth®Smart at

www.polar.com/en/polar_community/videos.

To install the cadence sensor and cadence

magnet, you need cutters.

1. Check the chain stay for a suitable place

for the cadence sensor (picture 2). Do not

install the sensor on the same side as the

chain. The Polar logo on the sensor should

be facing away from the crank (picture 4).

2. Attach the rubber part to the sensor

(picture 3).

3. Clean and dry a suitable place for the

sensor and place the sensor on the chain

stay (picture 4 A). If the sensor touches the

rotating crank, turn the sensor slightly

upwards. Pass the cable ties over the

sensor and rubber part. Do not tighten them

fully yet.

4. Place the cadence magnet vertically on the

inner side of the crank (picture 4 B). Before

attaching the magnet, clean and dry the

area thoroughly. Attach the magnet to the

crank and secure with the tape.

ENGLISH 3

5. Fine-tune the positioning of the sensor so

that the magnet passes close to the sensor

without actually touching it (picture 5).

Move the sensor towards the magnet so that

the gap between the sensor and the magnet

is under 4 mm/0.16’’. The gap is correct

when you can fit a cable tie between the

magnet and the sensor. There is a small

caved dot at the backside of the sensor,

which indicates the spot the magnet should

be pointing at when passing the sensor.

6. Rotate the crank to test the cadence

sensor. The flashing red light on the sensor

indicates that the magnet and the sensor

are positioned correctly. If you keep

rotating the crank, the light will go off.

Tighten the cable ties securely and cut off

any excess cable tie ends.

Cadence Sensor Pairing

Your new cadence sensor must be paired with

the receiving device in order to receive cadence

data. This enables training in a group without

interference from other sensors. For more

information, see the user guidance material of

the receiving device or mobile application.

4ENGLISH

Care and Maintenance

Keep the cadence sensor clean. Clean it with a mild

soap and water solution, and rinse off with clean water.

Dry it carefully with a soft towel. Never use alcohol or

any abrasive material, such as steel wool or cleaning

chemicals. Do not immerse the cadence sensor in

water.

Your safety is important to us. Check that you can turn

your handlebars normally, and that the cable wires for

brakes or gears do not catch the sensor. Make sure the

sensor does not disturb pedaling or using the brakes or

gears. While riding your bike, keep your eyes on the

road to prevent possible accidents and injury. Avoid

hard hits as these may damage the sensor.

Replacement magnet sets can be purchased separately.

Cadence sensor battery

The battery cannot be replaced. The sensor is sealed in

order to maximize mechanical longevity and reliability.

To purchase a new sensor, contact your authorized

Polar Service Center or retailer.

The battery level of your sensor is displayed on the

receiving device if it supports Bluetooth®Battery

Service.

To increase battery life, Polar Cadence Sensor

Bluetooth®Smart goes into power saving mode in ten

minutes if the magnet is not passing the sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if...

...the cadence reading is 0 or there is no cadence

reading while cycling?

• Make sure the position and distance of the cadence

sensor to the crank magnet are appropriate.

• Check that you have activated the cadence function

in the receiving device. For further information, see

the user guidance material of the receiving device or

mobile application.

• If the 0 reading appears irregularly, this may be due

to temporary electromagnetic interference in your

current surroundings.

• If the 0 reading is constant, the battery may be

empty.

...there are irregular cadence or heart rate readings?

• Disturbance may occur near microwave ovens and

computers. Also WLAN base stations may cause

interference when training with Polar Cadence

Sensor Bluetooth®Smart. To avoid erratic reading

or misbehaviors, move away from possible sources

of disturbance.

How do I know...

... if the sensor is transmitting data to the receiving

device?

•When you begin cycling, a flashing red light

indicates that the sensor is alive and it is

transmitting cadence signal. As you continue

cycling, the light goes off.
