Product Elements

1.Polar bike mount / Polar dual lock bike mount (picture 1 A). For instructions on the bike mount installation, refer to the user manual of Polar training computer in question.

2.Speed sensor, rubber part and spoke magnet (picture 1 B).

Installing the Polar Speed Sensor

For a video tutorial, go to www.polar.com/en/polar_community/videos.

To install the speed sensor and spoke magnet, you will need cutters and a cross-head screwdriver.

1.It is recommended to install the speed sensor on the front fork (as in picture 1) of your bicycle. Do not install the speed sensor on the seat stay if the (optional) power sensor is mounted.

2.Attach the rubber part to the speed sensor (picture 2).

3.Pass the cable ties over the speed sensor and rubber part (picture 3). Adjust the sensor to the front fork so that the POLAR logo faces outwards. Adjust the ties loosely. Do not tighten them fully yet.

4.Attach the magnet to a spoke at the same level as the speed 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. Fasten the magnet to the spoke and tighten it loosely with a screwdriver. Do not tighten it fully yet.

Fine-tune the positioning of both the magnet and the speed sensor so that the magnet passes close to the sensor but does not touch it. Move the sensor towards the wheel/spokes as close as possible. The gap between the sensor and the magnet should be under 4 mm/0.16’’. The gap is correct when you can fit a cable tie between the magnet and the sensor.

Rotate the front tire to test the speed sensor. The flashing red light on the sensor indicates that the magnet and the sensor are positioned correctly. Once the magnet and the speed sensor are positioned correctly, tighten the screw to the magnet with a screwdriver. Also tighten the cable ties securely and cut off any excess cable tie ends.

Before you start cycling, set the wheel size of your bicycle into the Polar training computer.

Speed Sensor Teaching

Your new speed sensor must be introduced to your Polar training computer in order to receive speed and distance data. This enables training in a group without interference from other sensors.

The Polar training computer and sensor that came with the product set have already been synchronized but teaching is necessary when you start using a new sensor.

For further information on teaching, refer to the user manual of Polar training computer in question.

Care and Maintenance

Keep the speed 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 speed sensor in water.

Your safety is important to us. Make sure that you can turn your handlebars normally and that the cable wires for brakes or gears do not catch the bike mount or the sensor. Also, make sure that 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.
