SOURCE: Garmin Edge 305/GSC10 Cadence and speed sensor

Had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it.
1. Changed the battery in the cadence sensor. (GSC10)
2. Turned on my garmin 305 edge outside to acquire satellites (probably not nec but did it anyway)
3. Pressed reset on the GSC10, saw red/green flash (what order?)
4. Here's the missing step: On the Edge unit, go to SYSTEM.
5. Scroll to bottom, choose ACCESSORIES.
6. On acc. page, go to bottom, under Cadence Sensor, to the option RESTART SCAN. Press That. Now your cadence and speed should work.

SOURCE: Bicycle computer not registering speed

On both the sensor stick (which goes on the fork) and the magnet (which goes on the spokes) there is a center line engraved on each. The centerlines on both have to cross each other at a distance of about 1/4" to register on the odometer.

Not likely the speed sensor more likely to be the dash cluster common problem with neons.

SOURCE: cadence does not register on edge 705

This is probably a pairing problem. Device and cadence should be paired. Pairing is often lost when changing battery.

Pairing the Edge 305 and sensors
Once you have installed the Garmin Edge 305 and the cadence sensor they need to be paired. As they communicate wirelessly with each other the Edge needs to connect to each sensor before it can receive input from it.

The initial pairing needs to be done away from other wireless systems this allows the Edge to pick up the sensors it is supposed to be monitoring. This is a little like black magic, but it seems to work quite easily.

The cadence sensor has a small press contact which puts the sensor into pairing mode. The HRM just seemed to connect by itself.

Subsequent pairing is much faster as the Edge 305 seems to remember which sensors it is paired with. If you have problems or need to change one of the sensors then you can use a setup feature to either turn the sensor off or to re-pair it.

Why is my Axact 13W computer not reading any data?

  1. Check Sensor Placement:
    • Ensure that the speed sensor and cadence sensor (if your computer includes one) are properly installed and aligned with the magnets on the wheel and crank.
    • Make sure the sensors are securely attached and not loose.
  2. Battery Check:
    • Verify that the sensors have working batteries and that they are installed correctly. Sensor batteries can sometimes run out, leading to data reading issues.
  3. Sensor Alignment:
    • Check the alignment of the sensors. They should be close enough to the magnets on the wheel and crank to detect their movement but not so close that they touch.

Garmin Edge 1000 Speedo sensor keeps stopping well not recording.. then come back on does it for 10-20 seconds eveyr 3-4 minutes. any way to resolve. i have changed battery an still does this

I suspect that your magnet/sensor interaction is not as good as it should be.

Assuming you have the same standard Garmin cadence/speed sensor as I have I suggest you check your set-up.

The position of the sensor is usually dictated by the pedal crank - try to have the main unit to the rear where the spokes holding the magnet are nearest the frame. Adjust the sensor "arm" as close to the magnet as possible to get the best interaction.

Where can I get instruction details for my POD 550 watch?

RCX5 found it surprisingly light and small. It doesn't look like a computer on your wrist like many other GPS watches. Of course that is largely because the bulk of the GPS components and battery are in an arm band.
The armband and separate GPS device seemed like, and became, one extra piece of equipment to worry about.

The watch, heart rate monitor and foot pod all use watch batteries. Battery removal can be difficult, however once the back is removed the batteries are easy to install and replace. The GPS piece is charged with a standard USB cable.

The speed and cadence sensors batteries are not replaceable. These sensors must be purchased again when they wear out

The speed and cadence sensors are attached to a bike with zip ties. I found them easier to install than the Garmin sensor largely because they are separate devices. It was easier to position each of them so that they picked up the magnet from the wheel/pedal separately, rather than trying to align one device to detect both.
Additionally the speed and cadence sensor each have a built in led light that flashes each pass of the magnet.

However, to configure your stride length is tricky at best. The best way to do it is to run a distance using the stride sensor that you know the actual distance of, then change the distance in the history. So let's say you ran 1 mile. The watch believes you ran 1.1 miles. By changing the history to 1 it should adjust the settings so that the next mile you run will record correctly.
Once you have been using the watch for some time you can get into advanced setup. You can add your own sports, or configure the devices, and screens setup with each sport.
You can do this from the watch, but it is easier to do it from the Polar Web Sync software. The software works much like a remote terminal for the watch. You connect to the watch and add or change each sport profile, or change user or device settings.

Did you throw the magnet on the crankarm? If not check the alignment of the transmitter and the magnet - sometimes they need to be quite close. Sometimes they just fail. I have seen instances where cadence worked and speed didn't and vice versa - so the unit is transmitting perfectly, but one of the sensors has gone bad.

Unit is measuring cadence and heart rate, but is not measuring speed, distance or ride time.

Check to make sure your speed/ distance sensor is in alignment with your wheel magnet. If it is then check the battery in the sensor.

Speed and distance are on a different sensor than the cadence.

Not reading mileage? battery good

Remove the motor cover. Check that the speed sensor (found on the frame near the pulley)is as close to the pulley without making contact as possible. Check the pulley for the small round magnet. Make sure it is present. It may have come loose and is now attached itself to the metal frame.
If all this checks out, the speed sensor may be defective.

I have no speed or trip distance showing, cadence is normally ok. also my watch strap has broken and because it is glued on i cant get it fixed!

Since your Cadence is working then there is a problem with the actual speed/ distance sensor. First make sure that in your settings you have speed turned on. If so then...
1) Your battery may be dead = Replace CS sensor
2) The distance of the sensor and magnet is not set correctly = make sure magnet on spokes and sensor are within 1-2mm of each other.

Polar can fix the strap, you need to send into an authorized service center. They replace the entire strap unit. If you send into Polar to get the strap fixed, then you can send in the sensor unit as well for diagnosis if you want. But if #2 doesn't fix, then it's #1 and they will just tell you to buy a new one anyway.

The speed (and worst of all distance) was droppping out now and then also the heart rate would hit 200 when rolling down hill. I think I have fixed this problem by leaving the phone at home. I've ridden...

2 Seperate issues:

Heart Rate - The CS200cad uses a coded transmission for the HR, When you have a HR that spikes that high, it is because for some reason the signal has not coded correctly. Here are a number of ways to help with that issue.
1. Make sure you have good contact between your chest strap and your skin.
2. Make sure the Heart rate sensors on the strap are wet. Or use a conductive cream to improve contact.
3. Make sure the strap is on correctly. Up high on the chest just under breasts, Polar symbol centered on chest and upright. Strap tight enough to keep from slipping
4. If the strap is older, make sure it is clean. Salt can build up in the strap.
5. If the strap is over 2 years old consider replacing.
6. Check Battery

For the Speed/ Distance - Same sensor (front) make sure that the magnet on the wheel is within 1-2mm of the Fork sensor. The magnet should align in the middle of the sensor, with the sensor just slightly angled into the magnet. When the magnet and sensor have a good signal a small red light will flash and you may hear a click when the wheel is rotated. If none of this works you have a low battery and will need to replace that front sensor.

It sounds like you know what's wrong - distance. Take the magnet in your hand and wave it past the cadence sensor to see if THAT works.

As far as why your crankarm and chainstay are too far apart, well, maybe your bottom bracket is too long or something, but it is mostly beyond the scope of anyone who can't see it to judge. Take it to a bike shop and ask them.
