CS600 headache...

[Mudsimus]

Trying to install a Cs600, everything is installed correctly but I dont get a power or cadence reading. It teaches the power censor, wich means it gets a signal? so why dont the damn *%$#& give me a reading?

 

Thanks

Dont you need to be able to actually push out some power to get a reading??

[Mudsimus]

Dont you capies have some sandcastles to build?

[Guest colonel]

No the wind is blowing to hard so we here to give you a headache!! lol

Did you buy it through the South African Polar channels or did you buy it online somewhere and ship it to South Africa?

FAQ

How Does this System Measure Power?
The Power Output Sensor W.I.N.D. measures power direct from the chain, unlike other models that use the crank or hub. This precision system combines measures from two key factors:

Chain Tension ? using a sensor on the chain stay
Chain Speed ? using a sensor on the rear pulley

How Quick Is the Set-Up?
It couldn?t be easier. All you have to do is enter ? once, when setting up the unit ? a set of key factors: chain length, chain weight and the length between the bottom bracket and rear wheel axles. And then away you go. Or, you may use the default settings to get started (Chain weight 304 g and length 1473 cm and Span length 420 mm). Precision pedal power ? every time!

I've had one, went through all the crap-  finally saw the light and replaced it with a Powertap. I had three major issues with it -

 

1) it was moerse difficult to set up

2) it was useless on a trainer

3) there was variation on the different gear combinations (verified with my PT)

 

But .... I'm thinking about fitting a Polar power sensor to measure from the timing chain on my newly acquired tandem. To the best of my knowledge it is the only power sensor that has a hope of working on a tandem (for the pilot) and apart from the set up, which should also be simpler ... sort of, the other problems don't apply..

 

Any comments or advice??

 

Ooops before you all jump in with the SRM - at R16k it is not even in the picture.

So...sent it back to polar and they replaced the chain sensor. Apparantly thats what caused all the sh*t. Works fine now.

Glad to see you came right eventually BUT...

 

Confusious would like to know why you want a Polar power system AND a Ergomo (also a power system).
