FAQ

To replace the battery on TS5, follow these steps:
1. Prepare a new CR2032 battery
2. Use the edge of a coin and place it into the slit on the battery cap, then turn the cap counter-clockwise to point the triangle indicator to the left dot and keep turning. The battery cap will release itself. (To avoid scratching, place a piece of paper towel or tissue paper between the battery cap and the coin.)
4. Install the CR2032 battery with the terminals correctly placed as described in the manual or in the illustration below.


5. Make sure the rubber O-ring is in the correct position and does not come loose
6. Reinstall the battery cap on the sensor, and turn the triangle indicator clockwise to the right dot to close
7. Make sure the battery cap is closed securely. The LED indicator should blink once to indicate that the battery has been replaced.

If you are unfamiliar with the process or have difficulties pairing the TS5 speed/cadence sensor with your Xplova device, please read the following tips:

1. Before installing the TS5: verify its mode of operation - speed mode (blinking red) or cadence mode (blinking blue). After the battery has been replaced, the color of the Xplova indicator light can be used to distinguish which mode the TS5 is currently operating in.
2. If the light does not glow steadily, but switches off after blinking five times, it means the battery level is under 30%. It is recommended that the battery be replaced with a new CR2032 battery. For instructions on replacing the battery, please refer to the manual or FAQ.
3. Move within 1-2m of the Xplova device with which you want to pair, then shake it lightly to wake up the sensor.
4. Refer to the Xplova device manual for pairing instructions. Add the TS5 sensor to your device according to its current mode (speed or cadence). For more information on pairing the sensor, please refer to the user manual.
5. If the device still fails to pair, please consider replacing the CR2032 battery inside the sensor. For instructions on replacing the battery, please refer to the TS5 manual.
6. If the device still fails to pair after installing a new battery, please contact your local distributor.
7. After pairing, please install the TS5 on the appropriate part on your bike according to its mode.

No. The TS5 can only operate under either speed mode or cadence mode at any given time. It cannot operate both modes at the same time. To switch the mode of operation, please remove and reinstall the battery.

The TS5 can operate in two modes: speed mode and cadence mode. Please refer to the steps and illustrations below when installing.
Speed mode:
1. Make sure the sensor is in speed mode. If unsure, please remove and reinstall the battery to verify. Under speed mode, the TS5 indicator should glow red after the battery is installed.
2. Prepare the thicker piece of curved rubber pad with extrusions on both sides to align against the openings on the back of the sensor. Use the larger rubber ring to hook onto the extrusions on the two ends of the sensor to secure it onto the hub of the bike.

Cadence mode:
1. Make sure the sensor is in cadence mode. If unsure, please remove and reinstall the battery to verify. Under cadence mode, the TS5 indicator should glow blue after the battery is installed.
2. Prepare the thinner piece of rubber pad with extrusions on both sides to align against the openings on the back of the sensor. Use the smaller rubber ring to hook onto the extrusions on the two ends of the sensor to secure it onto the crank arms of the bike.

After installation, please turn the crank arms or both the front and back wheels several times to wake the sensor, then refer to the bike meter device manual for further information on pairing.
