Sensor discconnects during activity

Irweazel
over 3 years ago

i keep losing to connection to various sensors during my rides - Garmin Varia light and 4iii power meter. The varia is more obvious as it gives a clear message saying "radar disconnected" the power meter readings for Power and Cadence go to zero and eventually reconnect.

i am running the latest firmware on all of them and had no issues on the Edge 1000 with either sensor.

thanks

    I got a varied firmware update today and it seems to have improved the stability of both the varia and the power meter connection 

    I’ve only done one short ride so far

    Same here with disconnects from my sensors. Varia RTL510 had lots of disconnects and also Di2 kept connecting and reading-connecting. Another issue, albeit not a major one, is that the temperature reading on the device is high by almost 5°C. Riding with three other Garmin Edge users yesterday (One with an 830 and two on 1030) Their devices were reading around 19° give or take .2 or .3 which is what was forecast ....whilst my new 1030+ was reading 24.5.

    I have a Garmin HR sensor and 4iiii powermeter, no issues with disconnects. Worked fine on my previous Edge 1030, and also on Edge 1030+.

    Hi!
    Same problem here.
    I lost cadence and speed sensors on my rides.
    I have to reconnect manually every time.

    Had an 80k ride yesterday...yet again multiple sensor disconnects...Radar and Di2 at the same time.

    I'm also having the same issues, one or two disconnections every ride. Running last firmware available as of 30sept2020. My sensors are a Garmin heartrate belt and a Stages power meter that also provides my cadence. New batteries in both.

    Once the display goes blank, I can turn the unit off then back on and the display is all working. Eventually it'll happen again and I'll do the same off/on procedure. That gets a little old. 

    Surely this can be resolved by Garmin!!!???!!!???!!!

    Even with the last firmware (3.0), yesterday I had a disconnection during my small ride (34 km) :

    * DI2

    *RTL515

    *HRM Run

    After a few seconds all the sensors were connected again without doing nothing.

    The batteries inside them were at 80% for the radar and the Di2. Concerning the heartrate belt, the battery was changed one month ago.

    Generally I have these sensors connected at the same time : Garmin speed sensor 2, HRM Run, Di2, Favero power meter Assioma Duo, radar RVL515.

    The radar is a new sensor. Before installing it, there were no deconnections.
