Polar Cadence Sensor is designed to measure
cadence, i.e. crank revolutions per minute,
when cycling. The sensor is compatible with
Bluetooth®Smart Ready devices that support
Bluetooth®Cycling Speed and Cadence Service
— for example, the Bluetooth®Smart Ready
Polar training computers that support the
service.
When using a smartphone, a separate
application is required to view the cadence
data. It is recommended to use the Polar Beat
application but it is also possible to use other
applications.

If you have an account in a Polar web service,
Polar Beat automatically synchronizes your
training files to it. Please note that you must
sign into Polar Beat with your Polar web service
username and password for the autosync to
work.

Please follow the pictures on the front and back
covers.
Write the device ID printed on your sensor in
the space on the front cover (picture 1). The
original marking may fade as a result of
normal wear and tear.
Product Elements
1. Polar Universal Bike Mount (picture 2 A).
Use cable ties to secure the bike mount
snugly on the handlebar (picture 3).

Installing the Cadence Sensor
For a video tutorial, see Installing Polar
Cadence Sensor 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 B on the
front cover). 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 on the back cover).
2. Attach the rubber part to the sensor
(picture 1 on the front cover).
3. Clean and dry a suitable place for the
sensor and place the sensor on the chain
stay (picture 4 A on the back cover). If the
sensor touches the rotating crank, tilt the
sensor slightly away from the crank. 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 on the
back cover). 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 4 on
the back cover). Tilt 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 (picture 1 A on the front cover),
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. For more information, see the user
guidance material of the receiving device or
mobile application.
To ensure a good connection between your
cadence sensor and the receiving device, it is
recommended to keep the device in a bike
mount on the handlebar.
Care and Maintenance
Keep the 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 sensor in water.
Your safety is important to us. 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.
ENGLISH 5
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 or retailer. You can also purchase sensors
online. Go to www.polar.com to find your own country's
shoppolar online store.
The battery level of your sensor is displayed on the
receiving device if it supports Bluetooth®Battery
Service.
To increase battery life, the sensor goes into standby
mode in thirty minutes if you stop cycling and 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.
• Try keeping the receiving device in a bike mount on
the handlebar. This may improve the connection.
• 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.
6ENGLISH
...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. To avoid erratic reading or misbehaviors,
move away from possible sources of disturbance.
... I want to pair the sensor with the receiving device
before installation?
• Follow the instructions in the user guidance
material of the receiving device or mobile
application. Instead of rotating the crank, activate
the sensor by moving it back and forth close to the
magnet. The flashing red light indicates that the
sensor is activated.
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.
