Hi guys, wandering if anyone else has experienced and fixed a problem with the S series Polar Cadence sensor where it stops working beyond ~ 30cm.
Summary of the problem.
I had a working Cadence sensor for 3yrs.
Starting getting 00 readings so I decided to change the battery.
Put it back in same position, could only get readings beyond ~ 30cm and not from the handlebars.
Tried switching the jumper on the circuit board to increase signal distance - no improvement.
Tried a second new battery, different brand, no improvement.
I've ruled out the watch which picks up Cadence on my other bike, with a newer sensor / magnet combo mounted further away from the handlebars.
I'm now questioning whether the magnet could be the problem (not sure how?) and am thinking of taking the working Cadence sensor off and trying it on the 'not working' frame.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and resolved it?
