Installation steps

To install the battery cover: B

Warning: Make sure edge of the battery cover is well placed before installing

your RIDESENSE. Otherwise, the battery cover may fail to seal closely, the battery

compartment spring may fail, or the waterproof function may get lost. (Please refer to

installation steps given earlier.)

To install RIDESENSE: C

Remove the bike included seat stay plug (not included with standalone

RIDESENSE product), insert the RIDESENSE antenna in the seat stay tube,

attach and fasten the RIDESENSE device to the seat stay with one SHCS using a

2.5mm hex wrench at maximum locking torque of 0.4Nm.

Note: Please make sure the battery cover is well sealed for 100% waterproof.

Warning: Make sure the RIDESENSE is well locked before each and every bike ride

or you may suffer function failure or even severe personal injury.

Installing the peddling frequency sensor magnet (PFSM): D

Note: Please fasten the PFSM to the crank with the included tie. Tear off the tape

at back of the PFSM, attach and fix it at inside of the left crank 139mm away

from center of the press fit with the included ties, rotate the crank to test starting

the PFSM.

Note: Raise the PFSM with included pad to keep it within 7mm from the frame

or motion of the PFSM may fail to be detected.

Installation the speed sensor magnet (SSM): E&F

Note: Keep the SSM and RIDESENSE 2~10mm away from each other. You may

flip the SSM and install it to the back wheel spoke to ensure the proper gap

between the two.

In case the SSM is too close to or interfering with the RIDESENSE, install them

at location away from each other (ensure end of the device 2~3mm away from

the edge of SSM). Otherwise, the SSM may hit the RIDESENSE and result in

damage. See figure below for correct installation position.

(Ensure end of the device 2~3mm away from the

edge of SSM.)
