My Edge 530 was paired to an older (approx 6yrs old) ant+ Garmin HRM. It always connected to my Edge 530 and NEVER dropped signal. That HRM died on me. I have a Garmin dual HRM (ant+ & bluetooth) that I used only to connect to my iPad for Zwift.
I assumed I could just use this dual HRM with my Edge 530, so I deleted the sensor connection for the old HRM and added the new sensor connection for the dual HRM. It pairs fine and will connect, but it drops signal from my Edge 530 about every 3 min and then will reconnect. It will also not connect to my iPad anymore. My Edge 530 has up--to-date software/firmware and the dual HRM has a battery that is only a few months old.
Any thoughts or fixes for the signal drop? Could there be a conflict with having the dual HRM "paired" to both my iPad and my Edge 530? Do I really have to have 2 separate HRM's...1 for my Edge 530 and 1 for my iPad? I would like to think I could use one HRM with both. Please help!
