MINIAC SPEED & CADENCE SENSOR INSTRUCTIONS
6400 WEST 105TH STREET // BLOOMINGTON, MN 55438 // 1-855-883-6563 // WWW.MSWBIKE.COM
Thank you for purchasing an MSW®Speed and Cadence Sensor!
At MSW®we believe that having essential accessories makes a good
ride great.
WARNING: Cycling can be dangerous. Bicycle products should
be installed and serviced by a professional mechanic. Never modify your
bicycle or accessories. Read and follow all product instructions and warnings
including information on the manufacturer’s website. Inspect your bicycle
before every ride. Always wear a helmet.
For additional product and safety information go to: www.mswbike.com/safety.
COMPATIBILITY AND INTENDED USE
The MSW Speed and Cadence Sensor is compatible with 2.4g digital wireless
cycling computers. They need to have the capability to accept speed and
cadence data.
The MSW Miniac Speed and Cadence Sensor is intended for use
on roads and paved trails as well as ASTM Condition 2 use.
This includes smooth paved roads, unpaved and gravel roads,
and trails with moderate grades where loss of contact with
ground may occur but drops are less than 6" (15cm).
INCLUDED PARTS
Please check that all the following items have been included with the cycle
computer before starting.
A Sensor
B Rubber shim
C. Wheel magnet
D. Cadence magnet
E. Zip ties
F. Rubber O-ring
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
The sensor is mounted on the non-driveside chainstay, just behind the bottom
bracket. The distance between the computer head unit at the handlebar and
the sensor should not exceed 150cm.
The larger part of the sensor reads the cadence magnet to register cadence,
etc. The adjustable arm of the sensor unit registers speed, distance, etc.
The larger part of the sensor faces the front of the bike, and the adjustable arm
faces the back and sits along the inside of the chainstay. Loosen the knurled
dial in front of the adjustable arm to rotate it in the optimal position (fig. 1).
Do not tighten it until the optimal position has been determined.
Place the included rubber pad between the sensor and the chainstay. The sensor
is attached using two included zip ties, but do not fully tighten them until the
wheel and cadence magnets are in place, and the adjustments that yield the best
readings are made between the sensor, sensor arm, and the magnets (fig. 2).
The distance between the cadence magnet and the sensor, and between
the rear wheel magnet and the sensor arm should not exceed 3mm.
MOUNTING THE CRANK AND WHEEL MAGNETS
1. Place the cadence magnet on the inside of the crank arm 2 to 3cm up the
arm from the pedal spindle and zip tie it in place.
2. Position the larger part of the sensor close enough to the crank arm that the
required distance between it and the cadence magnet is achieved (fig. 3).
Checking operation of the sensor is most easily done with the bike
in a repair stand rather than doing it while riding.
3. Using this sensor placement as a guide, position the wheel magnet in the
approximate area that it will pass the sensor arm on the inside of the
chainstay. The wheel magnet is tightened to the spoke by threading it into
the magnet bracket that sits behind the spoke (fig. 4).
4. Holding the larger part of the sensor in place with one hand, rotate the arm
of the sensor so that the required distance between it and the wheel
magnet is achieved.

5. Use two zip ties to tighten the sensor to the chainstay, and snip off the
excess length.
6. Make any final adjustments to the sensor arm to achieve the required
distance between it and the wheel magnet, and tighten the knurled dial.
PAIRING THE MSW MINIAC DOUBLE WIRELESS
COMPUTER WITH THE SENSOR
(For pairing with other compatible cycling computers reference manufacturer’s
instructions for that computer.)
In any mode, press the M and C buttons, and hold for six seconds, and then
press C button. The computer will search for 30 seconds. If it is paired, it will
show the ID and go back to the original page in 5 seconds. If it is not paired,
check that the sensor and magnets are aligned; also check the battery (fig. 5).
Test to make sure that the magnets are activating the sensor, and the
computer head unit is registering the magnets as they pass the sensor.
MAINTENANCE
Check the position of sensor and magnet periodically. Rust or corrosion on the
magnet may cause malfunction. The gap between magnet and sensor cannot
exceed 3mm.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
A red light on the sensor will appear when its battery is running low. Unscrew
the back cover. The (+) side should be facing up. Gently remove the battery and
replace it with a new battery model CR2032.
BATTERY WARNINGS
A coin-cell, lithium-ion battery is used in this device. If these guidelines are not
followed, batteries may experience a shortened lifespan or may present a risk
of damage to the device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury.
• Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a high-temperature
location, such as in the sun in an unattended vehicle.

• Do not disassemble, modify, remanufacture, puncture or damage the device
or batteries
• Do not immerse or expose the device or batteries to water or other liquids,
fire, explosion, or other hazard
• Do not use a sharp object to remove the batteries
• Replaceable coin-cell batteries may contain perchlorate material. Special
handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
• Only replace batteries with correct replacement batteries. Using other
batteries presents a risk of fire or explosion
• Do not operate the device outside of the temperature ranges specified
in these instructions
• Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose of batteries
in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations
WARNING:
• KEEP BATTERIES AWAY FROM CHILDREN
