Can not connect sensors via ANT+

Do you know where can be problem with pairing sensors via ANT+? I have three powermeters Quarq, Stages left only and Stages LR. I can connect these PM only via BLE, but after while they are disconnected, so I want to use them via ANT+, but edge can not find them via ANT+ protocol. Also have problem with find Shimano Di2 wireless unit via ANT+. In edge 520 and Fenix 5 it works smoothly. If I wanted to pair Speed and HR sensor via ANT+, then I had to place sensor 20cm from Edge 530, but after pairing they work. Is this a known problem?

Remove the BLE sensor from the Garmin. Then search for PM sensors. It looks like the Edge 530 prioritises the BLE protocol and lists those devices instead of Ant+. Don’t add any of the BTLE devices, instead…

Because your power meters are already added to the Edge 530 as BLE sensors, you will need to delete them. When you add them again, choose ANT+ instead of BLE.

I have no problem adding my two Di2 wireless transmitters in the Edge 530.

You shouldn’t need to place the sensors that close (20cm) to the Edge 530 to them recognized.

I deleted powermeters and I dont have on choose which protokol use for connecting, there is only one and always BLE.

hm, so it looks like, that something is broken in my edge 530 :/

It might take longer to find the ANT channel. Pair to BLE then disable those pairings and do a new search, This should then show the ANT channel. Pair the ANT channel and then delete the BLE pairing.

Don’t add any of the BTLE devices, instead select "Show More" to view and add the Ant+ devices. That’s what I did to connect my Vector 3s.

E530 don't have optiom "Show More".
M problem is when Stages connected by BLE to ZWIFT on iPad, Garmin 530 don't see ANT+ power meter.
Garmin 520 works great in this setup.
Anybody?

Only one connection BLE allowed.

Yes, it is "Show More":
